Rebel Russell twirled two innings after
the Nationals had made things so lively
for Benz that Rowland chased him to the
showers. and when the tenth Washing
ton chapter opened Mel Wolfgang was
on the slab. Wolfsang was Just as stingy
with his hits as was johnson, the home
flock being helpless before him.
Carelessness and bad baseball lost the
game for the Grifmen. Harpers crazy
heave to the plate in the Sox seventh was
uncalled for while Rippy Williams care
lessly allowed his war club TO lay in the
batters' box after he had singled in
Washington's half of the seventh and
Mcbride claims that but for the presence
OF the bat he would have been safe. with
the run which would have tied the score.
the tally in the ninth therefore would
have been the winning marker
Coming right down to cases-there are
perhaps just too many ifs in this story
the fact remains that the Nationals did
not win. but did play good enough ball
to tie-so you've got to give 'em credit
for that.

Judge Plays Great Ball.

Joe Judge score two OF the Nationals
three runs. placing himself in a position
TO do this by clean hitting. Judge COL
lected three blows including a triple out
Of five times up. besides drawing a phase
on balls.
Until the seventh inning, Harper al
lowed but one hit, a scratch by Eddie
Collins in the fourth.
This same Collins person raised a big
rumpus when he cracked open the Sox
seventh with a triple to left center.
Fournier was passed and Jackson sent up
Texas Lacquer back OF short, both
Shanks and Mcbride going after the ball.
Shanks got his hands on the sphere but
dropped II. This filled the bases. Felsch
grounded to Foster and Eddie Collins was
forced at the plate. Henry pegged TO
Judge in an attempt to complete a dou-
BILE play but the ball hit Felsch in the
back and before it could be recovered
Fournier and jackson were over the plate.
Schalk bunted in response to the
squeeze play" signal and Harper made
foolish slam to the plate with nc
chance in the world to retire Felsh. who
scored easily with the third run.

Grfffmen Tie the Score.

After Rondeau had gone IN the Ma
tionals' half Of the seventh, Judge singled
to center, Shanks flied to Weaver. Henry
singled through Weaver putting Judge on
the far corner. Mcbride was hit filling
the bases Rippy Williams, pinch hitting
for Harper, drove a low liner to right
field, scoring Judge and Henry. On this
hit Murphy slammed to the plate to
catch Henry but II was too late and
when Williams started for second Schalk
pegged to Collins. This was the signal
for Mcbride to try for home and he
claims he would have been safe but for
the cact that Williams bat lay across
the rubber. 1t was a mighty close play
at that. but Chill ruled that Capt Mac
was out.
With one down in washingtons half
Of the ninth, Judge jammed a triple to
left field. Shanks doubled over Murphy's
head. scoring Judge and knotting the
count Howard attempting to stretch the
two-ba gSer into triple, was cut down at
third base, and the side was out when
Henry flied to Fournier.
With Wolfgang twirlng after the ninth,
the Nationals were through for the day
so far as scoring was concerned, al
though Milan attempted to go from first
to third on an infield out in the eleventh
only to be caught by a narrow margin

FORGOTTEN EPISODE.

FOLLOWING the presidential
primaries in Wisconsin came
the announcement in the daily
press that LaFollette had been
turned down in Wisconsin,
This story was given substant-
iation by the fact that Gov.
Phillip, the arch enemy of
LaFollette, had been elected a
delegate to the Chicago con-
vention. 1t was merely one of
these half truths that serve the
purpose of a barefaced lie.
Here are the actual facts in
connection with the Wiscon-
sin presidential primaries:
LaFollette received 10000
votes as a delegate to the ma
tional convention.
Phillip received 7O,8l3 votes
as a delegate.
Both yer elected.
Under the presidential vote
LaFollette received ITO. O64 out
of a total of 40, 600.
In every district in the state
the voters by a majority vote
expressed their choice of Ro-
bert NJ. LaFollette for president.
Every delegate to the nation
al convention from the state of
Wisconsin is pledged to sup
port LaFollette for president,
just as the delegation from
North Dakota is pledged.
Emanuel Luigi Phillip, La
Follett's bitterest political
enemy, who is a delegate to
the convention, is pledged to
the people of the state to vote
for LaFollette.
Evidently the associated
press insists that a LaFollette
victory must be unanimous in
order to be a victory.
But these salient facts re-
garding the Wisconsin presi-
Dental primary have never
been published in a North Da-
kota daily, nor any other daily
circulated in the state.
Why not?

Tom HALL, secretary of state,
has sent out a little. brochure
entitled Boots and Boosts
1t contains newspaper com
ments on the secretary of states
candidacy for reelection and,
as indicated by the title, con-
tains knocks as well as boosts.
The genial Tom believes in
placing his record %squarely be-
fore the people and to that end
has faithfully compiled com
ments of both his friends and
detractors. Old Tom, as he is
familiarly known among his
friends, has nothing to con,
ceal. His record is one that
will stand the most careful
scrutiny and it is deplorable
that the opposition to his can
didacy should come from a few
newspaper publishers who be-
lieve they should have their
feet in the public trough when
printing patronage is being
passed out. Hall has merely
complied with the law in the
letting of state printing and,
because he wouldnot do assome
of his predecessors, ignore the
law and take care of his
friends he is now the target
for much unmerited abuse.

The Courant would like to
suggest the adding of a state

haps it would be better to make
a week of it. At any rate. It
would seem that some concert
ed action on the part OF the
citizens Of the state in a gene

paign would be productive Of
beneficial results, not only from
a standpoint Of appearances.
but in a sanitary sense as well.
Most citizens take enough
pride in their own premises to
attend to the spring clean up,
but there is always the annoy
ance of having some neighbors
who see no value in such eff
forts and the labors of the bet
ter citizens are to a great ex-
tent counteracted. BY making
the occasion an official one there
would without doubt be a more
general response and, eventual
ly there would be few who
would not fall into the spirit Of
the thing. The campaign
should not be confined to the

just as interested, and would
be just as much benefited by a
campaign of this kind.

USEFUL MOTOR TRUCK
is SERVING TO SOLVE PROBLEM
OF THE RAILROADS.
BY Its Means Short-Haul Freiehtage
May Largely Be Made Thing
of the Past.
n AM -

Freight transportation by CONNER
cial vehicle instead of by railroad is
one of the most interesting develop
ments of motor haulage Of recent
times, the Commercial Vehicle OBJ
serves. AS freight terminals and city
trackage become more congested by a
growing volume of traffic without POS
sibility of adequately expanding the
space available, it becomes increasing
ly difficult for the railroads to trans
port small lots of freight for short
distances with speed or economy. AS
experience and confidence in the mo-
tor truck grow its usefulness in the
general transportation scheme be-
comes correspondingly greater.
Repeatedly have the railroads COM
planned to the interstate commerce
commission that these short hauls do
not pay, and yet they are obligatory
On them as common carriers. No end
Of trouble has been stirred UP by the
continual complaints of shippers on
slow delivery CT goods which have to
be shipped but a few miles. The re-
tardation and congestion which result
from the intricate switching and trans
ferring operations in our cities have
materially affected lcng-haul traffic.
Merchants who have been used to
making shipments from suburban
plants and warehouses to more cen
trally located warerooms and stores,
supply firms which habitually ship
their consignments to local buyers by
rail, and others who are consignees of
goods from so-called foreign rail lines
have had to put up with more and
more delay as conditions became more
intolerable. Many firms which should
long ago have moved into larger quar-
ters less centrally located have hesi-
tated because of the delay incident to
having freight transferred through the
city.
The motor truck has come to the
rescue by hauling such lots of freight
direct, either from their point of orig
inal shipment to the ultimate con-
signee or else from central receiving
terminal, the whole haul taking only
q few hours and being accomplished
In many cases for less than the rail-
road charges, Improbable as they are.
With the development Of tractors
larger loads can be safely and eco
nomically handled on the highways.
When business men have become real
Iy awake to the advantages of motor
haulage for everything less than what
amounts to overland transportation,
the railroads short haul problem will
have been solved by extinction.
