If the team breaks even, Washington
fans should feel satisfied. for tiI.
champions are almost invincibIe on
their home grounds. Griffith says he
is not downhearted' over the weak
showing of his team at this early
stage OF the game, but local fans diff
fer with him. They have been led to
expect good pitching, IL nothing more.
Weak pitching has lost more games
this spring than lack of hitting. II
the pitchers will come down TO earth
by the time the boys return from Dos

Many fans believe that the Griffs
lack ag<essiveness. In the four
games played here this season their
point Is well taken. For instance.

Saturday, not one of the players seem
cd to be doing more than merely
going through the motions. This sort

Upon top of this remarkable evidence Of

manded an increase OF 25 per cent in prices

of automobile shares had taken place in
view Of the demand for IT, The editor

mates that some action should be taken 70

mentions the fact that the Reichstag sew

reports, which show that this committee is
still living. but we know nothing about its
