OLSON'S ERRORS BIG
 HELP TO GIANTS
Dodgers Inielder Kicks Elm
 Around Polo Grounds

New York. May 3o.-The Brooklyn Dodgers have q commendab ble per centage this spring, but judging from their first appearance of the year on the Polo grounds yesterday they haven't changed much. Apparently they still can kick splendid pitching games from under an unfortunate Ebbets twirler with all the precision of the Trolley Dodgers of the era of "Whitey' Alperman, Daily Stark, Coulson, Tooley and the old time Washington park bunch.
 For all the world yesterdays tiff in Harlem looked like a leaf from the diary of c. Napoleon Fucker some eight OF nine years ago. Remember how George Napoleon, the great left handler, used to come to Manha tan and hold the Giants to a handful of hits, only to have Stark, Tooley or some other fellow peg the ball all over the grand stand?
 Only yesterday it was that Bur leigh Grimes, the sensational young Brooklyn spitballer, who was the vc- tim of the Dodger strong arm boys. Bur1eigh let down the hard hitting Giants with five hits, the first one coming in the fifth inning, but aided and abetted by Ivy Olson and Lee Ma gee New York made one run for each hit. The Giants took the opening clash of the big series of the spring by a score of to 2. The defeat top pied the Dodgers into third place. The score:

BAKERS HIT BRINGS
 VICTORY TO TANKS
Scores Run in Tenth That Causes Senator's Fifth Straight Defeat

Washington, May 30.-Aftcr the Yankees and the Senators had tussled with each other in two drawn battles, the Huggins athletes finally scored a victory yesterday afternoon in the tenth inning, the final count being to 4 in favor of the visitors. In their previous encounters in New York the teams had played a twelve inning scoreless tie and a fifteen in ming 4 to 4 tie. Thus thirty seven innings were required before the Yankees showed their superiority. The defeat was the eighth in success sion suffered by the Senators.
 The game yesterday was nip and tuck affair and each team had a fair chance to win up to the time the last Senator was out in the tenth.
 Griffiths men tied up the score in the third inning and again in the ninth, but the run that Frank Bakers bat drove home in the tenth settled the dispute for tho time being.
 Shawkey had opened the tenth in ming with a strike out and Vick was out at first on 9. grounder to Shanks Fewster then singled and stole sec ond, after which Baker drove single to right, scoring Fewster.l Baker tried to steal second and failed. As the Senators were snuffed out in their half of the tenth the Yankees thus got the decision. The score:

SAYS BOLSHEVTST
REGIME WILL WIN
"Y" Worker Declares Rus
sian Masses VIII Submit
as Lesser of Two Evils

LONDON, Sept. 14.-'There win be
no lighting in North Russia when the
allies evacuation is completed. There
may be sporadic outbreaks, but the
masses will peacefully surrender 70
the BolsheVists. This Is the general
opinion among all allied forces now
in Archangel."
NJ. S. Baker, Y. N. c. A. secretary,
just returned from Archangel after
eleven months with the allied forces,
made this statement today.
Surrender is the best thing the
Russians see ahead" he said. 'If they
fight they will be wiped out. II they
accept the BolsheYist regime they
take the lesser Of two evils.
Americans are gone now, except
for thirty Y. N. c. A. workers. The
allies are expected to be out before
November. The Y. NJ. c. A men also
are coming out OF the Murmansk coast
district. We in Archangel did not
know the evacuation was coming IN
til two months ago. It surprised US
all"
This information seems to bear out
the muddled condition Of the British
evacuation policy and the conflicting
statements appearing in the London
press. The Y. N. c. A. left tons Of
stores and supplies in Archangel, ac-
cordins to Baker.

OIL TANKS BLAZE
IN N$3,OOO,OOOFI FIRE
Rockefeller Workers Fight
Flames ALI Night to Save
Their Homes.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Great spurts
Of flames and billoWs OF smoke were
shooting sl1yward today from blazing
oil tanks OF the Some & Fleming re-
finery, a subsidiary of the Standard
Oil, where more than $3,O00,OO0 dam
age was done by a spectacular fire
last night
Although the fire was reported un-
der control early today after one Of
the hardest fights in the history of
New York's fire department, there
was still danger than scorched and
blistered homes Of workers nearby
might burst into flames should a
strong wind arise.
Morning found thousands Of tired and
grimy spectators at the scene of the
confagration reluctant to return to
their homes while the weird spectacle
continued.
Hundreds Of FIRE fighters, weary and
exhausted after their eighteen-hour
battle with the flames, were fed this
morning by residents in the vicinity,
and groups OF women OF the motor
corps Of America.
The tanks were still burning on
both sides OF Newtown creek this
morning. Special squars of hremen
from Manhattan were on hand assist
ing the tired Brooklyn fremen in
fighting the flames.
Working in twenty-minute shifts
they were pouring millions of gal
Ions Of water from thirty lines of
hose on the flames
Every precaution was being taken
to keep the flames from reaching
other tanks in the mediate path OF
the fire.

What England Thinks Of Her
New Ambassador to U.S..
Viscount Grey Regarded AS One of Last of
Long Line of True English Country Gen
tlemen Remaining In Public Life,
Says London Daily Express.

I man, whenever he delivered a speech,
| for there was always a wonderful
clarity in the manner in which he
presented his case.
1t is said that on one occasion Mr..
| Gladstone expressed the opinion that
his young under secretary was lazy.
1t was not meant that he neglected
his duties, but his 'laziness" consist
ed rather in his keeping apart from
the competitive ambitions Of public
life.
1t may be that this ''laziness" which
is really an aloofness, is the secret OF
his success, for it stamped him as an
able and honest man with a sincerity
OF purpose which carried everything
before il and dominated situations
even in an age when men Of push
and go" prevailed.
A Great spOrtsman.
Like. all country gentlemen, Wis
count Grey is a great sportman, with
an intense love Of angling. Dry-hy
fshing was his favorite relaxation un-
til failing eyesight compelled MIN to
abandon all such pursuits.
He is the author OF what is perhaps
the most captivating book ever writ
ten on fly fishing. Not only is this
work admirable from a technical
point Of view, but IL possesses an ex-
traordinary charm in its appreciation
of nature.
He might well have become a sec
ond White of Selborne. AS an en-
thusiastic naturalist, he enjoyed moth
ing so much during his term at the
Foreign Office as his tramp with
Theodore Roosevelt through the New
Forest for the purpose of observing
the bird life of that glorious stretch
of woodland.
Britain in sending Viseount Grey to
Washington at this critical hour in
the development OF the good under
standing between the English-speak-
ing peoples Is giving the United
States Of her very best.

=" Flu" Return Is Expected
By u. S.. Health Service;
Preparedness Adpocated

'TWfu the ffu return?" was answer
ed today By an authoritative state
ment issued by the United States
Public Health Service in these words:
Probably, but by no means GER
tainly, there will be q recurrence Of
the influenza epidemic this year, In
dications are that should II occur II
will not be as severe as the epidemic
Of the previous winter"
The Public Health Service warns
that IL Is best to be on the safe side,
and advises that city Officials, State
and city boards Of health and COM
munities make plans now for deal
ing with any recurrence OF the cpl
demic.
A careful survey and investigation
Of the Influenza epidemic Of 191s-1S
carried on in every State and import
ant city and even in foreign coun-
tries, has developed the following
outstanding facts. according to the
Public Health Service:
Imunne After AttaelL
The fact that a previous attack
brings immunity In q certain per-
centage Of cases should allay fear on
the part Of those afflicted in the pre-
NlOu8 SplQeuAtCs
Influenza is spread By direct and
indirect contact.
It Is not yet certain that the germ
has been isolated, or discovered, and
as a consequence there Is yet no
positive preventive, except the en-
forcemsnt Of rigid rules OF sanitation
and the avoidance Of personal con-
tact
A close relation between the inf1u-
enza and the constantly increasing
pneumonia mortality rate prior to the
fall OF 1919 - recognized.
It Is noW-believed that the disease
was widely disseminated throughout
this country before IL was recognized
in its epidemic state. This failure to
recognize the early cases appears to
have largely been due to the fact that
every interest was then centered on
the war.
The Governments statement says:
mo one Of the many experts OF the
service would make more positive
forecast Of the all-important question,
Will there be q recurrence? All
agreed, however, that q recurrence
was not unlikely and that IL would
be wise TO be prepared more with a
view Of being on the safe side than
anticipating danger"
Contrary to the opinion expressed
The Washington times., 1919-09-14

LONDON. Sept. 14.-viscount Grey,
Great Britain's new special envoy at
Washington, is known to his coun-
trymen and to the world as one who,
in his political life, has always car
ried out the highest ideals of British
statesmanship, says the London Daily
Express.
He is great statesman and a great
Englishman. Hundreds Of thousands
OF peope look on him as one of the
last Of the long line OF true English
country gentlemen remaining in pub
lie life today.
Viscount Grey, as Washington will
find, has a most charming and lovable
personality.
Began Steady Climb.
When Mr.. Gladstone gave him an
der-secretaryship in 1892 he began
the steady climb which was finally to
place him at the head of the British
Foreign Office at three Of the most
critical periods in the worlds history.
On two of these occasions he averted
a European conflict; on the third he
stroVe to the last minute to obtain
peaceful settlement Of the disputes
which led to the world tragedy which
has just ended.
II was aIleE Ino AnBlo-Germau ten
sion over the Agadir affair that the
then Sir Edward Grey became known
as the foremost man in Europe"
His handling OF the delicate situation
on that occasion, when war seemed
inevitable, placed him right in the
forefront of England'S foreign min
listers.
Gla6stOae Called Him Lazy
Unless one knows intimately the
man who is now to look after Brit
aims interests at Washington 1t is
difficult to understand his complete
success. The magnetic power Of
genius such as is associated with men
OF the Lloyd George type is not his
