LAHR T MACPHfI IL BROOKLYN BOSS Signs Three-Year Contract. Is Given Full Authority New York, Jan 20. -<U.RF Larry MacPhail, one of a party of American doughboys who tried to kidi nap the Kaiser 20 years ago. had i another bold plot under way today. He’ll try to straighten the tangled affairs of the Brooklyn baseball club and convert it into something more than a collection of clowns. MacPhail, a red-faced, sandy-hair-ed Irishman with energy to burn, has signed a 3-year contract as executive vice-president of the Dodgers with full and complete authority to run the club. Starting from scratch MacPhail has no illusions about the job ahead of him. “If it Isn’t the toughest job in baseball," MacPhail said, "It’ll be until someone uncovers a tougher ' one.” Briefly. MacPhail's platform a"d I ideas may be listed as follows: 1) Build the Dodgers into an aggressive contender. 2) Build a farm club organiza- ' tion to produce players. 3) Repair and recondition the park. 4) Make Burleigh Grimes boss on the field. 5) Cancel all pending deals for Van Mungo unless only worth while players are involved. "My main idea is to build an j organization and a ball club.” said MacPhail. “We are starting almost from zero. In the front ofwe haven't even a stenographer. On the ball field we have a ! few valuable players and we don't intend to get rid of them unless we get players in return.” o ■ BRADDOCK VS. FARR FRIDAY —-— I James J. Braddock To Battle Welshman Friday Night New Yort. Jan. 20.—<U.P>-James J. BraddocT. the “Cinderella man” of the prize ring, hits the comeback trail again tomorrow night but the odds are at least a million to one against him over regaining the I heavyweight title. Others have tried before — Corj bett, Jeffries, Willard and Demp- : sey—and all fell short of the goal- ' Nevertheless, Braddock thinks his fighting weapons are sharp enough I to keep him in the running for the crown, and he will test them ! against Tommy Farr, the rugged Welshman. Less than four years ago, when he was 28 and considered a “has been,” Braddock launched a come- i back that whirled him from relief rolls to the championship. He j hasn’t had a fight since last June ; 22 whe nhe was knocked out by j , Joe Louis. Farr, eight year Braddock's jun-| ior, also has been idle since he faced Louis. That was last August | when “Tonypandy” Tommy amazed ' everyone by staying 15 rounds with the champion in Louis’ first defense. The betting odds favor Farr by; | about 8-5. They were 11-5 but dropped sharply when Braddock began to show good form in workouts 1 late last week. The winner is scheduled to meet former champion Max Baer on March 11, although both already have registered victories over Maxie. To both men tomorrow's battle marks a crossroads in their careers. Braddock, if he losses, definitely will quit the ring. Farr, because : he is the favorite and because he i has youth on his side, must win 1 if he hopes to fulfill his dream of financial security. The Welshman has known poverty. His ambition is to make as . much money as he can in the ring 1 and retire in comfort. If he loses to the aging Braddock ft may mark I tho end of his American career, and shatter his dreams of wealth. Farr appears in better condition than when training for Louis last J summer In his boxing sessions, he has concentrated on developing a knockout punch. Twenty sparling partners quit him because they claimed he roughed it up too much. o —- PLAN CREATION , cqVTTWTTF.n fUOM v-Artß ONJI) forts were sanctioned by NRA under a relaxation of anti-trust laws . bitterly assailed by some political elements.

and shorten the payment period. Mr. Roosevelt briefly outlined an idea to regularize the functioning of labor unions. He said he preferred requirements that unions list and report their expenditures rather than seek compulsory incorporation of unions, which lias been urged by some persons who contended that, as now functioning the labor organizations are not Wholly responsible for their actions. The President’s statement to the businessmen appeared to indicate an abrupt change of direction since Feb. 28, 1937, when he gave an interview with the New York Times. In that interview Mr. Roosevelt expressed the belief that the country needed a law to compel both labor and capital to live up to their con- . tracts. j The proposal for a national 'planning concil was outlined by the President last night after listening } to his advisory council’s bill on particulars. The business statement was a brass tacks recital of current problems as business sees them and a frank statement of what administration i>ollcies the business- ' met* approved, projects to which ■they were opposed and those which required clarification. Replying to the address of his advisory councillors. Mr. Roosevelt said he was working toward establishment of “simple machinery” to help him shape national policies. He said all concerned were agreed that the proposed group should represent all elements not only from a egographlcal standpoint but also to embrace big and little business, labor, finance, distribution, agriculture, transportation, credit, investors, and consumers. The council in fact, would be a

Averill Harriman, chairman of the advictory council which met with Mr. Roosevelt, said he interpreted Mr. Roosevelt's words to mean that he was working toward an informal advisory council which would not, have to be sanctioned by congress- ■ ional action. Harriman and his colleagues repeated’y emphasized their willingness and anxiety to cooperate with Mr. Roosevelt in remedying economic ills. ■. —o H. S.

CHINA LEABEB LEAVES JAPAN Ambassador To Imperial Government Leaves Embassy Today Tokyo, Jan. 20-4U.R'-Hsu ShihYing, Chinese ambassador to the Japanese imperial government, left for home today with members of his staff as the result of Japan’s new policy of non-recognition of ( the Chinese government. ] As he left, to board a train for Yokohoina and sail In the liner : Empress of Asia. Hsu, ill and de- ■ i pressed, gave a farewell message ' . to the Japanese people: "The sentiment of a race can not lie repressed by armed force. Do foresighted people of Japan see the present situation as foretelling | Japan's eternal happiness?” It was indicative of the peculiar i diplomatic situation that, officially, Hsu leaves only because he is ill and, finally, after repeated requests, had been granted a fur- , lough by his government. Unofli- , dally, the embassy remains. Not | only that, but before he left, Hsu conferred with Toyotaro Yuki, governor of the Bank of Japan. Hsu intends to land at Hong Kong and proceed to Hankow to report to his government. He commented. as he entrained, that he was deeply concerned over the present situation. Former foreign minister Haciro, Arita bade Hsu farewell. But the i general public paid no attention. Popular interest was centered on I a conference of prefectural gov- ' ernors, designed to stimulate national "spiritual mobilization," and an Important meeting of parliament Saturday. o Special Program At M.

ONE of the refinements on Ford V-8 cars for 1938 which Is the result of careful attention to detail is a device to prevent open doors from closing when the car is standing on a grade, at a slight angle or fa a breeze. The catch releases when a little pressure Is exerted to close the door. The check previously used merely limited the outward movement of doors to keep them from swinging too far back. The improved concealed check supplies an

additional convenient feature because it often is desirable to have car doors stand open to permit passengers to enter or to enable the driver to stow packages or luggage. The device is a bar extending from the inside of the body door pillar into the door frame. When Ford car doors are opened to the limit permitted by the check, a catch offers enough resistance to hold them in that position. Rubber washers are used to cushion the action.
