Southworth was prepared to refer said expert i to his lawyer. The lawyer was warming up at that moment getting ready to pitch against the Giants. The lawyer's name is Sam Nahem. a full fledged barrister who wears glasses, has a ' dignified, deliberate manner on the mound ami throws a habeas corpus fast hall and a write of certiorari curve. laiwyer Nahem is one of those boys the Cardinals are always taking as exiesslve baggage in trades and then developing into stars. He was a minor item In the transactlon between the Cardinals and Itodgers which sent Ihn-ky Medwick to Brooklyn. The other day he let the Pittsburgh Pirates down with three hits and yesterday he pitched seven nice Innings against the (Hants although in the eighth his control became non compos mentis, as they say in appelalte court, and he had to have a relief pitcher. But the day lawyer Nai hem is waiting for is when he can start against the Dodgers. He 400-foot homer in the ninth with a ' mate on base to bring the Tribe ! from behind to beat the A's. 4-5.

It was Indicated tlMtt Governor Schrlcker would not go through with a plan to recommission hi* appointees. Attorney general George Beamer said yesterday the Democratic faction had decided to go ahead with the operations of government as in the past until the supreme court could pass upon conatitutionality. Meanwhile, the Republican official* reported that the heavy pressure from job applicants was slacking off somewhat and that wouldbe appointees had resigned themselves to await determination of the constitutional Issues expected In conenctlon with a pending appeal of the circuit court injunction decision. Among the most discussed of the changes which were effected today was the switch Os the motor vehicle division front the department of treasury to the department of state. From now on secretary of state James M Tucker will sign automobile certificates of title Instead of treasurer James Givens. Edward H. Htein, commissioner of the bureau of motor vehicle* and an appointee of the governor, declared that the switch was in accordance not only with the new laws but with past laws aa well and that no appointive powers will accrue to Tucker as a result, in practice the change "cuts no Ice”

Another department which was the subject of considerable spei illation was the highway depart ment Commission chairman James Adams yesterday expressed concern over his authority operating under the terms of the injunction Adams conferred with his bonding company's agent and with the governor in .<ll effort to obtain assurance that no hitch would develop to Jam up the progress of the department With an estimated ll4.iHNi.oooo to lIk.OOOiHNi worth of contracts outstanding and a turnover of around I? &00.000 a month, this department would be a dangerous place in which to teqf the legality of the present setup. Adams maintained Bump Hadley Signs With Philadelphia New York. May i *U.R> Pitcher Bump Hadley, veteran righthander Joined bls fifth major league baseball dub today. The New- York Giants, who had conditionally purchased Hadley from the Yankees during the offseason for 37,500, returned him to the American leaguers yesterday.
