LaJOIe Comes Back
After going hitIess in three Games,

Lajoie is still perhaps the most wide

player and hitter he once was.
In one respect Connie Mack made
no mistake IN signing Larry, since he

looks like the best investment Of

Severoid is a sure shot TO stay, and is
both a hitter and catcher of AA1 abil-

price paid for the pair.
Loudermilk, IL he can keep the pace
he showed his recent out, can afford
to be wild and get away with a lot Of
victories. However. Wildness at this

CATTLEMEN are Just as fond of
clean sport as any other men
and this is proved by the entry of
Dwight B. Heard, Of Phoenix, presi-
dent Of the National Livestock asso-
cation, for the old mems singles and
doubles in the Border States tennis
tournament.

are listed together on a special

Pacific exposition as a guide to the
special attractions. Wonder if they
meant anything by that? There are
a couple of weight men in New York
city who might qualify for both.
CONNIE MACK IS, according to
eastern writer's, Just going to
give the Philadelphia fans "their
moneys worth" and not try to set
any more baseball records. Maybe
that is Why Connie wrote, IN a let
ter which the writer saw the other
day, that "other clubs can pay more
for this man than I can"

all to contemplate, especially those who
think fate will forever take any kind
of treatment from the man who is on

ENGLAND is not letting the war
interfere with its sports to any
noticeable extent. The soccer cup
ties have been cut Of to some extent
but the three big soccer leagues
played the full season. Boxing Is
opening up again and now we have
the flat racing. Any person who has
resided in England or in any Of the
British colonies knows the import
ance of the City and Suburban
handicap, which was run at Epson
Downs, on Wednesday. When the
big stakes are being run off, it is
evident that the racing season will
not be interfered with by the war.

Is Secretary Daniels
Immune From Criticism

So far as we recollect. former secre-
taries of the navy have not been in the
habit of criticising their successors in
office. Mr.. Daniels seems to be a no
table exception to the rule of immu-
nifty from criticism. Hon. George Won
l.. Meyerfi formerly Secretary of the
Navy, in an interview in the Boston
Sunday Post, calls his successor to ac-
count, quoting Mr.. Daniels statement
in his Asheville speech of August 4:
''No hobgoblin of consistency will
frighten me in carrying out my plans
Mr.. Meyer says: Consistency, as
defined in the Standard Dictionery, is
characterized by inherent consisten-
cy: intrinsically harmonious; not self
contradictory; as a policy of consist
ent with public good: the consistent
execution of a plan"
What is needed in the navy is q
consistent. continuous and compre-
hensive plan for building program
a consistent policy for efficiency; con.
sistent organization for prompt hand
ling of naval affairs. greatly needed al
the present me.and which would rem
der the navy effective for war in case
il should come; a consistent organiza'
tion such as advocated by Admiral Ma
han, which would enable the Navy De
partment to pass from state of wal
without a complete revolution in the
machinery and the agencies that are
depended upon in time of peace"

Cement Is To BE Used I'm
Backing of ArmOr Plates.

IL has been decided. after expert
ment that cement shall be used for
the backing of the armor plates of the
battleship Arizona. now under con-
struction at New York, in place of
teakwodo. The cost of the teak back
ing of the New York was S43 900, and
for the Arizona. which is a large YES
sci. the expenditure of at least $780,
600 would have been required. The
saving in the cost of backing, it is es-
timated will be between $4,000 and
$500 Skilled woodworkers were
required to shape and fit the teak.
Only cheap labor will be required to
pour in the cement behind the plates.
and there is another economy without
reduced efficiency.
The decision of the Navy Department
to use cement was the result of expe-
riments by Naval Constructor Robert
Stocker, of the New York navy yard.
When the battleship New York was
near completion last year. Mr.. Stock
er obtained permission to back four of
the plates of the vessel with cement.
the rest of the backing being the sa-
crosnet teak When the New York
arrived at the navy yard recently the
four plates were removed and the
packing after a years trial was found
to be in a satisfactory condition. The
use of cement was therefore recon-
mended for the Arizona

along the wall to take him in the

Ordinarily for Gunsdorf had an in

a just value upon the telegram as evi-

reason was blinded by Jealous rage.

Indian Head Not Large Enough
For Experiments With New Gu

The Indian Head reservation is no
longer large enough for experiment
with long range guns. BY firing into
the river the ordnance officers are able
to secure a range of sufficient length,
but this does not give them the oppor-
tunity to make experiments which re-
quire the examination of projectiles
after they have been fired from the
gun being used
In all probability the next session OF
Congress viii be asked either to en-
large the Indian Head Proving Ground
or to appropriate money for a new
reservation. There is a constant de-
mand on the Navy Department to make
experiments With new projectiles and
long range guns and it is stated that
tn Indian Head reservation is proving
inadequate for that purpose.
