PRAISE PFEFFER'S
ST. PATTL, Minn. (ff) Old Jeff
Pfeffer's days as a big league ball
player are ended, but some day he
may be back up there showing the
boys how ball games should be run
Old Jeff, now In his second year
as an American association umpire,
Is keeping players, managers and
sports scribes in line nicely and they
even write pieces about how good
he Is.
One Louisville expert, after view
ing Jeff's work in a game which the
locals lost, came right out and stated
that Jeff was the best In the league.
Pfeffer, a giant in stature, has been
around the association several years
and put in several seasons tossing
for Toledo. When his fast one be
came slow and his curves didn't curve
enough, he got the umpiring Job.
They write that Jeff Just naturally
knows how to umpire, but the opin
ion prevails that his huge size Is no
handicap in making combatants like
his decisions.
One of the best sights of the lea
gue la Old Jeff ludicrously trying to
squeeze his six-foot six-Inch frame In
behind the catcher to get some sem
blance of protection from foul tips
and also to get a good squint at the
plate.

TO BE CARE OF
DISABLED VETS
By L. J. SMITH
PORTLAND. (AP) Marching feet

on future legislation color music
fun
That Is the picture of the Ameri
can Legion In peace time action that
will be brought to Portland Septem
ber 13 when the veterans' organiza
tion opens its four-day 12th national
convention.
Although the question of Immedi
ate payment of the soldiers' bonus
and the attitude of the Legion to
ward eviction of the bonus marchers
from Washington stand out as a ma
jor Issue, Henry L. Stevens, Jr., na
tional commander, sees care of dis
abled veterans overshadowing other
subjects.
The convention delegates doubtless
will be called upon to take a stand
for or against Immediate payment of
the bonus, but the national com
mander and other officers say that
first interest will be accorded the Le
gion's legislative activities in behalf
of the disabled veterans.
Prohibition In Background
Since both political parties have
taken stands on the prohibition
question, that subject Is not likely
to be stressed.
Sixty thousand visitors, Including
4.400 delegates and alternates, are
expected In Portland. Plans for the
housing, entertainment and welfare
of the throngs have been under way
for the last two years.
In none of Portland's 80 larger ho
tels nor in the city's dining places
will profiteering be tolerated. Rail
roads have offered rates to Portland
and on side trips; 7,000 motorists In
Oregon will place automobiles and
drivers at the disposal of the Legion
naires; all coastline cities and re
sorts have Invited Legion members
and their friends to be guests on the
Pacific seaboard.
Of the 35 golf courses within
Portland's limits, Legionnaires will
play as guests.
Auditorium Seats 6,000

vention proper. From the huge Mult

ntae, and between the stadium and i
Grant Bpwl the various drum corps,
band and drill team contests will be
divided.
Along Portland's seawall ten bat
tleships, as well as merchant ships
of the world, will be In array.
The convention actually will get
under way Sunday, September 11,
with appointment of committees and
a national executive committee ses
sion. Committee reports will be read
Monday and the report of Henry L.
Stevens, national commander, will be
given. .
There will be no convention ses

thoroughfares and disband about1

The convention will close Thurs

seacoast, where they will be guests
for the week end.
