Of BASEBALL CLUB
No Basis for Report Griffith

Former Red Legs Boss to Make
Permanent Home in
Capital.

Therc II no justification for the asser-
ton that Clarke Griffith is to become
presidenr of the Washington ball club.
according to members of the board of
directors.
While Griffith is expected to pur-
chase block of stock in the corpora
tion. he will not obtain control. which
Will still be vested In the men who have
for several years been directing the
business affairs OF the Organization.
Griffith Will be manager, with prac-
tically unlimited power in the control
ana purchase OF players, but the other
officials will remain the same as they
are at present unless the stockholders
should vote to make change at the
next annual meeting.
The expected action was taken at the
meeting of the board of directors Mt
its meeting yesterday when Griffith was
named as manager of the Nationals
The conference was one of the snort
est In the history of the committee. as
1t had been agreed days ago that Grif-
nth was the best man available for the
place, and the only business transacted
yesterday was the formal vote and a
talk over the long distance telephone In
which Griffith agreed to the terms.
The contract calls for three years
and 1t Is understood, the salary Is 81, 500

a large block of stock
While he was manager of the Reds
Griffith made his home In Cincinnati,
but as soon as lie can arrange his af-
fairs in that city he will come here
and make Washington his residence
throughout the year. He Is expected
before the end Of the week. when there
will be q meeting of the directors to 20

Tom Noyes, president of the club. was
unable to be present at the meeting yes-
sofooy anu story was starteu tnat In
addition to being Manager Griffith
might become president. However, it is
said. there has been no decision what
ever on that point nor Is there likely to
be one until the annual meeting of the
stockholders when the regular officers
are chosen.
Judging by what is said by those who
are directin gthe fortunes Of the Nation
ais this city Is to finally have club
conducted on modern lines. Instead of
the slips -shod. happy-go-lucky manner of
handling affairs. as characterized the
McAleer regime, there will be estab-

wonder what is really meant by those
who profess religion and those
whose business it seems to be to ere

While it is true that there are some
newspaper folks who really have the

been reported that there was once a
newspaper editor who opened office
hours with prayer, these may be only
idle rumOrS-and most of us are too
busy hunting live matter to try and

flooding newspaper offices with their
little screeds, written by the self
righteous pen of complacency and
measured off by their Pharisaical
tape-string.
The number of gOdly ones in this
world who are sure of a through
ticket and a reserved seat in the
Hereafter, is only known to news
paper people; they get letters every
day from the godly ones, and it's
usually to boost the writer's plan of
salvation that the letters are written.
One, recently received in a Southern
newspaper office declared that the
writer had written a poem while wit

the Book of Books, man asked The

some parts, prohibition went"

OF COCAINE remarked b. w. Boyd,
lawyer, Of Charleston, S. c., at
the Raleigh. This is particularly
the case with negroes employed in
the lumber camps in those sections
where there is local option. The
taking away of the opportunity for
them to procure liquor has led them
to turn to cocaine, and the effects,
you may imagine, are infinitely
worse than an Indulgence in whis-
key. In nearly every large lumber
camp in the South scores of negroes
can be found lolling around under
the influence of cocaine.
THE authorities have sought to
prevent the sale of this drug by re-
strictive ordinances, but in every
community there are to be found
two or three vendors of the drug.
1t can be had in quantities. Co
caine used to be sold in the Ordin-
airy state in which it is handed out
over the counters of drug stores,
but now it is to be had in crystal,
resembling rock candy.
Nov, while I am opposed to this
indiscriminate sale of liquor to the
negroes, | believe that the use of
come the conditions is a problem
the solution of which is worrying
the owners of the big lumber camps
and factories where a large proper
ton of employees are colored."

Money or Men.

There was a national peace con.

persons were there from various
parts Of the country.
The main avowed purpose of this
voluntary, unofficial, and really rep.

the economic waste of ornaments.
In other words. the conference de-
cried all preparations to defend this
nation against foreign encroach-
ment. because they cost 50 much
money"
This insistance In bringing all ma.
tional questions to the money test,
and finding nothing In the life Of
nations worth considering unless 1t
stands the money test, was curiously
illustrated In the speech Of a promi.
nent French baron.
According to the statement OF this
French gentleman, that majestic
