By d. C. BYRD.

Twenty-one events are scheduled
for the field day competitions to be
held Saturday in the Central High
School stadium by the Navy Yard.
Almost all kinds of races and jumps
are listed and they are classed so
that nearly everybody will be given
an opportunity to do something.
Here are list of the contests:
100-yard dash, 50-yard dash. 50-yard
fat mems race, 50-yard dash for wom-
en-, 75-yard dash for women. three
legged race for men, 220-yard dash.

| of age, potato race, 440-yard dash.
civilian employees, one-mile relay race
for military employees, sack race, run
ming broad jump, running high jump.
| standing broad jump, and hop. step
and jump.
Those at the navy yard in charge
one of the biggest affairs ever pulled
on in the history of the big plant.
Somewhere between eight and nine
thousand persons are employed at the
yard and something of the probable
size Of the affair may be judged when
that is taken into consideration.
Rex Athletic Club yesterday won
| two games, taking the Engineers into
camp by 10 to 2 and defeating Fort
Hunt by to 2. Brown held the
Engineers to eight hits in the open.
ing contest. all of which were kept
well scattered. In the second setto
Parks famed ten of the Fort Hunt
! soldiers and let them. down with five
| safeties. Rex got an early lead in
each contest and held it throughout.
| Roche and Daughton led the Rex
| team in hitting in the first game, each
connecting for three bingles. In the
second contest Roche again did Soma
clever batting. driving out three more
| safeties, making six hits for him in
| the two games out of eight times at
bat. His fielding in both contests was
brilliant. In the opener he handled
| eight chances without an error, and in
the second took care Of seven with
| out q miscue.
Camp Humphreys yesterday lost to
the Marines in a game at Quantico,
4 to 10. A feature Of the game was
| long hit which dropped into an
automobile that was passing the field
on its way to Washington. The ball,
for all that Is known, still is travel
ing. That may be the longest homer
ever made.
Clarendon took a close game from
Operations yesterday at Clarendon,
the score being 4 to g Operations
got both its counters in the fifth,
after Clarendon had obtained a three
run lead. Joe Giebel caught a fine
game for Clarendon and led his team
In batting, connecting for three safe
drives. Won Herbulis pitched for
Clarendon and let down his opponents
| with three hits. Watt did some ex-
cellent fielding at second base for the
losing club. Operations was minus
one or two OF its best players.

NO OL0NGER BOSSES
AMERICAN LEAGUE
Magnates, After ) Cleveland
Meeting, Lay Down1aw
to Ban Johnson.
By DENMAN THOMPSON.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. August 5.-By-
ron Bancroft johnson. president Of
the American League. Saturday paid
the penalty for his failure to repre-
sent the interests OF that organiza.
tion at Washington this season. For
the frst time in his career his wishes
were ignored by the American League
magnates. He was told that bossism
no longer ran thu organisation. and
he was given to understand that
henceforth the men who have their
money invested in the game will
have absolute voice about its conduct.
johnson came to the meeting fully
prepared to order the closing of tho
American season on August 20. but
found the club owners solidly arrayed
against him. Led by President Fra
zee. Clark Grifiith and Charlie Co
miskey, the club presidents ignored
and voted unanimously to extend the
playing season to September .. This
was the first time in his Official ca
reer that the American League has
refused to heed its masters voice" /"
and the result Is significant. 1t
means the parting of the ways for
johnson and Comiskey. It may
when normal conditions are restored
and base ball comes into its own
again.
Angered at the decision of the club
owners. johnson gave out the state
ment that 'ff the club owners want
to take chances with the government
it's their business" This remark Is
Indignantly resented by Frazee. Grif-
| fith and the others, and their indigna-
tion is eloquently expressed by Fra
zee, who late Saturday night gave out
the following statement:

Statement About johnson

"Johnson's remarks anent our tax
ing chances with the government are
malicious and unwarranted. They
are probably actuated by the knowi-
edge that his 'rule-or-ruin' policy is
at an end. We, the men who have
millions invested in the game, have
learned to our bitter cost that we
must conserve our own interests. We
have found that Johnson did not
I'VE know that johnson is talking
for effect and not for the league
The interests of eight club owners,
and not one man. have been taken
into consideration. Not one man in
the league can control the organiza-
ton. No one club owner can close
his gates without forfeiting his fran
chise.
johnson has tried to shift the re-
sponsibility to Secretary Baker and
the government. but he can't do it.
In making the statement I am talk
ing for Messrs. Coniskey and Grif-
nth and by their permission. johnson
is egging on. the government through
false construction OF its attitude.
He is in q great measure responsible
for the cloud under which base ball
has lain all year"

LANES PLAN FOR SOLDIERS
 IS REJECTED

Methods of aiding and re-establish- lr g soldiers who have been dis eharged and have no definite plans Etr their future, were discussed yes tSrday at g. luncheon given by Fed as al Food Administrator Robert Sco- vile to O number of prominent citi- Rns. Among those present, besides Nr. Scoville, were: Public Utilities Commissioner Joseph w. Alsop, vice. o aaarman of the state council of de- Gnse; Colonel William H. Hall of V Ellington and A. w. Burritt, federal Abor agent in Bridgeport.
 It was as a result of a letter sent b Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the il-terior to Governor Holcomb and the b ate council that Mr.. Scoville decided tb investigate the inevitable situation rising already by reason Of soldiers D eing discharged with no plans of their own for earning a living. Yes tBrday afternoons meeting promptly eoncurred with MT.

 In Connecticut there are no state i nds for such reclamation or colon fling, As one solution of what was | sst for Connectcut-and nobody seemed to offer better one-Mr. Fcov1lle suggested that Connecticut apould not wait for any national re- E.oration movement, or for any ex- ample from other states, but should Etart with 8 sufficient legislative aid f. possible, by having created an ad- Nisory board which, after passing on ithe soldier applicants qualifications, should arrange for g. farm and home for him or for a. city job and home .EKr. Scoville was confident that pri- Nate enterprise and philanthropy would assist in providing any capital .I ot furnished through state aid, or trough federal and state aid, if Con- lress should make such appropria- ton.
