FOR FINAL APPEARANCE
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

All keyed for rushing, tearing fight down the line to
their third successive American League championship the
Boston Red Sox will be here tomorrow for the first three
games with the Griffmen at Georgia From all
signs Washington fans will turn out in respectable numbers
to look at the only ball club in the league with half chance
of catching the Chicago White Sox.
The worlds champions, a veteran organization
loath lose their opportunity of hauling down the fat prize
accrung to the pennant winner. Manager Barry is most
energetic driving his players the bitter end of the
pagn and like thoroughbreds they answering to the
spur and the whip.
Meanwhile, the Grfmen putting up a stiff contest
for the right to lead the second division clubs
the finish ne and they expect to offer stubborn resistance
to the Bostonians Manager Griffith will send his best pitch
against the oe and his strongest lineup will be used in
each contest Gr believes in giving quarter to anybody
the diamond least of all to those fighting for the
championship laures

pIonship hopes on the return OF
GOOSE Egg George Foster. and
the rounding to OF Herb Pennock, the
former Philadelphia southpaw. with
Mays, Ruth, Leonard, and Shore as
a regular quartet ready for action
every day. the addition OF Foster and
Pennock means much in the Tight
OF the champions for the remainder
OF the season
Tillie Walker, whose hitting this
season has been the lightest since
he played with the Griffmen a few
yIlrs ago. has begun to ind the ball
In old-time style, getting many long
drives at opportune occasions. With
walker able to keep up with Duffy
Lewis and Larry Gardner, the cham
pions won't look so bad at the plate
After the Red Sox leave here Wed
nesday. the Philadelphia Athletes
will arrive for a stay OF four days.
The Mackmen have won ten out Of
eighteen games from the Griffs this
season, SO it may be readily seen
that Washington will have a hard
task getting into NTH place and hold

Last year a great deal Of stress

ers responded nobly, with the result
that Arkansas farmers raised
enough of most Of these products
for home needs, and in addition
thousands of bushels of corn have
been sold and shipped into Texas,
Louisiana and other states,
The great trouble has been that
the corn was sold TOO cheap. The
most of It was sold for from a dol
lar to a dollar and a quarter a
bu,heI, when as a matter of fact II
could have been sold for dollar
and hall or two dollars II the
growers had not been in such O

Thousands Of bushels of corn
will be shipped into Arkansas dur
ing the coming year at around two
dollars a bushel or better, Corn Is
now quoted at S!.75 on the st.
Louis market, Good alfalra, timo-

did YOU Give him smile? He was downcast and blue
And the smile would have helped him to battle through

And the world so fancied was using him ILL.,
Did YOU give him a word? Did you show him the road,
Or did YOU lust let him 90 with his load?
Did YOU help him along? He's sinner like you.
But the Grasp your hand might have carried him through
Did YOU bid him good cheer? Just word and smile
Were what he most needed that last weary mile.
Did YOU know what he bore in the burden OF cares,
That is every mans load and that sympathy shares?
Did you try to find out what he needed from you.
Or did you just leave him to battle it through?
Do YOU know what it to be losing the fight

Do you know what it means-ust the clasp Of hand,
