Manager Griffith will send out con-

Baumgartner himself is said to have
so much confidence in his own ability
that he expects to supersede both Johnson
and Smoky Joe Wood. But Raumgartner
has a momentous task before him to
surpass the best efforts of the wonder
full Walter Johnson. True, Walter did
not show the big average he garnered
in 1912 in former seasons, but he had a
bad ball club behind him. Baumgartner
must be given the benefit of the doubt
as far as a poor ball club is concerned.

The Market Steal.
Washington has magnificent mar

a company and put through a bill

construct a municipal building to cost
$3.50 900 Soon after they obtained
the lease. they exerted their influ-
ence and were releasd from the obi

and the rental was cut to $500 a

Then they leased part of the
market to the government for an ar

The list of the gratis of the city of
