II you were at American League
Park yesterday afternoon you would
haze seen . most exnberant bunch
Of marines and soidiorn. The Marines
football team beat the soldiers. but
the way those boys kiled around ths
field and cut capsrs an over TIE
place between halves and eftsr tie
game was really better than ths
game itself
Which reminds me that q notioa

day Of GENERAL CRONKHITE-
major general, II you plsase-Who b
IN command at Camp Lee. Tho
movie man wanted to have the Ron-
eral walking into his box At the bail
yard, Just to show Q little acton,
you know.
Well, the general wouldn't do It.
Of course Il would not have hurt he
general nor intsrfefed With his dig
nifty IN any way but be Just simply
wouldn't do II.
Now q mo" from Q major general
means NO. Just - an avalanche
means an avalanche. Any ordinary
West Point lieutenant would have
taken mo" for an answer with
grace and punctiiiousness.
But not that movie man. He
hadn't been brought up in hi1 trade
for naught
He kept saluting and saluting and
begging and begging and GENERAL
CR0NKHITE kept saying NO.
Finally II took one OF the gon-
erals aides to 60 down and squeleh
that movie man In Uniform
To pick up the Boston papers and
read the list Of candidates for the
mayoralty Of that burg makes q
Washingtonian homesick for the
House Of Representatives.
Our old friend, JIMMY GALL
VAN, who threatened to leave the
Democratic party II Il made wash
ington dry, has decided life In wash
ington must be q gloomy proposition
now that the Democratic party eetu-
ally was scared into making L dry.
He Il running for the Once Of
mayor Of Boston.
jim CURLEY, the present mayor,
Is running. He was q member Of
the House. We al know him
And ANDY PETERS, he Of the
imperturbable eountenanco and blue
blood. Coming from q district which
is silk stocking ct one end and rough
neck at the other, Andy Peters GER
inly balanced politics nicely. Moth
ing could scare him. Once while hs
was sleeping In an upper berth an
other train crashed right through
ais own train. Peters was aroused
By the noise. and as he swung his
legs over the berth he stared q loco
motive headlight in the face. Il had
plowed through the train that far.
"Ah. We have had q wreck" said
Mr.. Peters, who then went about
to the hurt in his silk
oajamas.
PETER F. TAGUE, that hns
oroth Of . boy. he, too, Is running
Tor office as mayor Of Boston now
hat Washington Is dry. The last !
ieard Of Peter he. was raising Cain
because he declared political enemies
we're tampering with his mail right
