Griffith Says McGreevy
Can't Follow JOhnsOn's
Fast Ball and So Calls
Many Good Strikes Balls

Under existing conditions it is
necessary for the manager Of =
team 10 dope out the umpires as
much as he would manipulate his
pitching staff to the best advan-
tase. McGreevy. will never UNI.
pire a game Of ball behind Walter
Johnson again il Griffith can help
il. Any time that il is McGreevy's
turn behind the bat johnson will
not be pitched. Griffith holds, and
he has Johnson's word for IL, that
in a game johnson pitched in
Washington against Philadelphia,
McGreevy missed 20 strikes on
him in few innings. This abso-
luteiy handicapped Johnson and
he was driven out Of the box, Nc
Greevy forcing him to cut the Gen.
ter of the plate with the ball. Nc.
-Greep|- according to Griffith, can
not follow Johnson's fast ball,
which has an enormous shoot on
II and mostly cuts the corners OF
the plate. McGreevy declares
these all balls, and Johnson is
handicapped to such an extent
that he canot win his games when
McGreevy is behind the bat. Ever
since that occurrence Griffith has
ducked McGreevy with Johnson,
and he will continue to do so dur
ina the remainder Of the season.

Federal Cooperation For Good Roads.

Secretary Houston of the department
of agriculture saws that the state and
federal governments should work to-
gether for highway improvement in
order that large proportion of the
money annually spent for road con-
struction may not be wasted.
In his own department the office of
public roads has been demonstrating
the value of proper road building by the
construction of certain object-lesson
roads, and the forest service is carrying
out his idea of ational and state CO.
operation in road building The law
requires that ten per cent of the gross
receipts from the national forests shall
be spent in the states in which the for
ests shall be spent in the states in which
the forests are situated This money
is expended for road improvement I'M
der direct control of the secretary of
agriculture.
The amount appropriated under this
act. based on the receipts of the nation
al forests for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1913. is 1926. 63S.6S. From the
1912 receipts for this ten per cent road
item. there is an additional 1874, S31. 10,
which is still available.
In administering the ten per cent
road fund. forest officers charged with
the actual plans aud expenditures in the
neighbOrhood of their forests have. in
almost all eases. secured an equal or a
larger cooperative fund from state
authorities for the building of certain
pieces OF road.
With the money thus expended many
important roads are being built or put
in repair. One on the Wyoming nation
al forest. six miles long. makes acces.
sible to farmers large body of timber
and opens up region of great scenic
beauty. In northwestern Arizona, part
of the fund will be used in connection
with the LeFevre-Bright Angel road,
important because it makes accessible
to tourists the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado. In one place, the Ocean to
Ocean Highway crosses the Apache
national forest, Arizona and on this
project the forest service and the local
authoritits cooperated enthusiastically
On the Florida national forest in west
ern Florida steel bridges and graded
roads have. under the stimulus of this
fund. taxed the place of corduroy, bog,
and sand.
This federal road fund is now avail
able in ali national forest states of the
west Just as fast as returns come in.
the forestry officials say, a similar fund
will become available in states in which
eastern national forests are being Sc
cured.

THE BULGAR-SERVlAN WAR
JUST PLAIN SLAUGHTER

JUST PLAIN SLAUGHTER
ConstantinopIe, July a.-Turkey
will fight. The Sublime Porte today
decided to reoccupy the territory
which was taken over by the Balkan
allies as a result of the London peace
treaty signed in May.
London, July 9.-The complete
success of the Bulgarian force which
OUtfanked the Servian line at Vranja
was claimed in dispatches from Sofia
today.
If these dispatches be true, it
means that the Bulgars have
crumpled up the Servian army as
they claim to have CTumpled up the
Greeks at Nigrita.
1t is believed that Servia has is
sued her last call, and now is putting
into the field every able-bodied man
in the kingdom between the ages of
Is and go.
The stories of the losses during the
last ten days fighting are beyond all
belief. If they be even approximate
ly true, the interneCine war of the
Balkan nations will go down into his
tory as the bloodiest that ever Oc-
CURED. Men are falling at the rate
of 10000 a day.
It is not civilized fighting; it is
slaughter. Apparently, each battle
is the same; the roar of the cannon
at long distance; the menacing hum
of the machine guns; the rattle of
the smaller variety of the same; the
shock Of single infantry vOIleys; and
then a tearing personal encounter in
which rifles are discarded, bayOnets
used as daggers and men have be-
come beasts.
There is no question of the ferocity
of the BUlgars; they have been badly
treated; then won splendidly and
then their smaller allies turned upon
them and tried to rend them. Bull
gaTia seeks not only victory, but
vengeance.

tons are critical there. Miners are
encamped above the mine. They are
armed. The mine guards are in am
bush around the plant and they are
armed.
Sheriff Hill held a conference with
Governor Hatfield during the night,
and Hatfield instructed him to make
every effort to handle the situation
himself without applying to the state.
Two miners are reported missing
by Superintendent Davis of the OIL
ney Co. Probably they cOntrived to
escape from under the eye of the
mine guards and join their cOmpan-
ions on the hill.

'WOLF OF WALL STREET" TRIES
TO- DEFEND HIS ACTION

Washington, D. c., July a.-David
Lamar, recalled to the stand before
the Senate lobby committee at his
own request, today tried to defend his
action in pledging Democratic lead
ers in House and Senate to J. P.
Morgan & Co:
And his defense was that he just
played the usual Wall Street game"
He insisted that he had been moved
by only the highest public motives
and that his plan had been to rein
state Edward LaUteTbach as Morgan
& Co.'S attorney and to force a gen
eraI reform in Wall Street.
The Wolf of Wall Street was not
quite as wOlfish as when he first ap-
peared before the committee. He
started out by attempting to slur
Senators Reed and Walsh and imme-
diately was called and called hard by
Chairman OveTman. Thereafter he
was allowed to make no speeches.
81 am the only villain Of Wall
Street." he fairly shouted at one
time, land all the others are pUre!"
Lamar said he had planned the
trap for Lewis Cass Ledyard to bring
Standard Oil, the American Tobacco,
the Steel Trust, and Messrs. LOYett,
Evarts, Cravath and others into the
open where the truth would be
known.
