would back US mp in getting q team
to enter the series which has been
proposed
"I'm not claiming pennants. but I
fail to see how the CloIeps can lose
out In the Navy yard League now.
Our game with the Tool and Miscel-
taneous team today should about
settle the race. We have i've games
to play. and IL we win tomorrow's
game we will be well along toward
the penpant
"Phil Buscher will probably pitch
tomorrow, and IL he is In shape

that will put US far enough out ahead
to come through with the win"

teams and the Camp Meigs nine WIN
get going at American League Park

r. Red Cross wool fund. The soldiers

GLASS DENIES POST
HAS BEEN RENDERED

Washington. Dec. at is believed
here tonight that the senate tomorrow
will receive recommendation for the
appointment of successor to Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo. 1t was
stated last night that the nomination
by the president to the cabinet posi-
ton made vacant by Mr. McAdoo's
resignation would be made public today,
bur no information on the point was
received by the senate, which must
ratify the presidents nomination.
The belief persists that Congressman
Carter Glass will be named. although
he denied today that the post had been
rendered him. In some quarters II was
said that final recommendation on the
question was not made by the president
until today and that the decision will
be brought to Washington tomorrow
by Secretary Tumulty who left the
George Washington when she reached
the lower bay in New York harbor

MAN ABOUT TOWN.
(By II. T.)

Our esteemed legal friend, Arden
Howell comes forward with a per-
tinent suggestion. One which we be
lieve will prove OF vast importance to
the people at large and act to a great
extent in accclerating the movements
of the local politicians hereabouts, as
Bobby Bell used to say.
This suggestion was informally
handed over to us yesterday while We
were in serious conversation with Tom
Fletcher at the court of Henrico, is

Mr. Howell.

the pine trees and the brooklets for
many years, and having reaped the

side of the great oak trees that from
little acorns grew.
After profoundly giving the sug
cestion some thought we forthwith
sped to the third floor of the city
hall where City Accountant Cofer
spends his idle hours, and poured the
suggestion into his expansive ears.
