—Playground News — SENIOR TEAMS NEAR FINISH OF INITIAL ROUND Finch, With No Defeats, Is Held Likely Winner on South Side. BY WII.LIAM M’GAL'GHEY Tibim MafT Writer Senior playground teams have raced under the wire in the first round for the city softball championship and the field begins to narrow down to a few outstanding clubs. With two more rounds left to play in the south side division. Finch playground appears the likely winner. Having flashed through the initial heat with six wins and no defeats. Finch already shows the glossy finish of a champion. Shouting defiance at any preconce.ved notions, the Riley aggregation appears as a fighting combination that may upset the predictions of forecasters. Riley lost only one game in the first round, a hardfought contest with the division leaders. On the east side Ellenberger is rolling along with only one defeat chalked up against it. The Irvington team threatens to repeat last year's performance and go to the f Here are the results of the first round play in the senior leagues: SOUTH SIDE T>ra Won Lo*.t Finch ft ft Kilev S 1 Kr*< ♦ 3 Garfield 2 4 Greer .. —............. 1 Pleasant Run 0 6 WEST SIDE Rhodiu* 5 1 Military 4 2 ' Hawthorne 4 2 i Coleman . . 2 4 American Settlement .... 2 4 ' Lent* .... ..1 5 NORTH SIDE Fall Creek ft ft 49th and Arsenal 4 2 Washington 2 4 Golden Hill ... 0 6 EAST SIDE nienbftrcer .v 1 W'-Uara 4 2 Oakhiil 33 Brißh' Aood 2 BrookMde 2 4 Christian 2 4 The ‘tiope" on the junior teams Will appear in this column Friday. The complete standing of the teams will be pre.scnted at that time. Watch for it. One of the keenest contests on west side, the Hawthorne playground tennis tournament, will be played off early in August. Racquet wielders are practicing every day to get in shape for the matches, according to Roscoe Eredell. park supervisor and former Butler athlete. To the winner of the Hawthorne tourney goes the possession of a silver trophy cup. It was donated four years ago by Dr. E. T. Gaddy, a west side tennis enthusiast and an ace player. Last year, Paul Dozall crashed through in a closely contested match to win a leg on the cup. A young i Washington high school athlete, j Lefty Roberts, appears to have the best chance of copping the trophy next month. Hawthorne tennis experts believe. The Garfield park aquatic club ..ank deep from the cup of revenge Saturday night when it trounced Shelbvville, 86 to 34. to make up for a previous two-point defeat. The Rhodius park swimming team gcored ninety points to win the second Red Cross-city recreation department swimming meet Sunday in the Willard pool. Willard came in second with 16 points: Ellenberger had 14; Riviera. 13. and Warfleigh. 1. Individual scoring honors fell into the lap of Virginia Hunt. Rhodius star, who garnered 15 points. Another west side swimmer, Charles Gierke, scored 12 points to lead the bovs.

‘JOE’ EASTMAN ‘GETS IN HAIR’ OF RANKINGS Otherwise Co-Ordinator Is Popular and Rates Nickname. Jojtph B. Eastman, who*e tireltu work &p*rdrd settlement of the railroad wate dispute, believes stream-lined trains will do something big for transportation. Known in the capital as •'Holy Joe," Mr. Eastman is described in this article. BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN tolled Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 18—Nicknames within the New Deal are scarce. The only top slighter to rate one is Joseph Bartlett Eastman, railroad co-ordinator, better known in the capital as: “Holy Joe.” He's a preacher s son. That’s the why of his unofficial name. The fact that he's an honest and straightforward soul also may have something to do with it. "Holy Joe,” as applied to Mr. Eastman, in any event, is an affectionate term. He is one of the best-liked officials in town. The only people in whose hair he gets are certain railroad presidents, who shudder when they think of him. He believes that all railways eventually should be controlled by the government, and that meantime they should eliminate their useless competitioin and scale down their debts. That in itself is enough to give a railroad owner the bow-wows. Mr. Eastman operates under a law which gives him full power to scrap the streaks of rust, abandon the extra trackage which carry competing trains between cities, and squeeze the water out of overcapitalized railroad companies. He has been pretty thoroughly stymied, however, by a joker in the act which specifies that no man may lose his job through any consolidations Mr. Eastman engineers. Since abandoning railroads usually means abandoning railroad jobs, he has had to bide his time. He figures the situation gradually will work itself out. He had a large part in effecting the railroad wage settlement this spring, whereby transportation workers eventually are to have their 10 per cent pay cuts restored in full. The negotiations developed into a series of protracted conferences. Mr.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Eastman had to hoof between the Willard hotel, where he saw the railroad owners, to the Hamilton hotel, where he saw the workers and back again. He made the round-trip so often that he finally became angry and told both sides to make up their minds. They did, after President Roosevelt backed up Mr, Eastman. The latter, meantime, has been busy writing reports and making plans for the future. He doesn't like stenographers; doesn't even knowhow to dictate. So he writes all his theses in longhand, with a lead pencil, even though some of them are hundreds of pages long. Mr. Eastman is 52—and looks It. Particularly is he interested in the new streamed-lined trains with which many railroads are experimenting. He believes that, they may have a profound effect upon the future of transportation.
