GRID
TEAMS START PLAY

At least three strong independent
football teams will OFFER first class
attractions here this fan, according
to present plans.
At Union Park, Fifteenth and H
streets. where so many first class bat
ties have been staged for the District
title and the Washington Times cup,
the Rex Athletic Club will stage
games. At least fourteen engage
ments with local and strong out Of
town teams, are contemplated.
James Z. Wright, who has been
uniformly successful with the Rex
Athletic Club baseball team, is TAX
ing charge Of football managerial
duties and has closed a contract for
the park, it is understood.
The Navy Yard Recreation League
has sanctioned the use of-four men
outside the yard for the Naval Gun
Factory team, which proved to be the
class OF the city in independent cir
cles last season. 1t is expected that
the naval gunners. augmented by
seaman gunner players. a marine or
two and the four outside men, will be
quite Up 10 and even better than
standard.
The navy yard men plan to use
their new field in Anacostia and from
all accounts will be able to meet all
comers with first class representa-
tion and a strong backing.
In addition the Mohawk Athletic
Club. one OF the strongest teams ever
developed here, which won the title
in 1916 and 1917, is showing signs OF
coming to life. One or two meetings
have been held and il IS expected
that the Mohawks will be in the rum
ming for the independent title as well
as the Navy Yard and Rex A. G. teams.

JOHNSTON AGAIN
IN TITULAR ROLE

NEW YORK. Sept. 6.-w1Iliam n.
Johnston, Of California, today ranks
not only with the greatest tennis
players of all time, but Is the third
man in America TO earn two legs on
singles championship.
r. Norris Williams, Maurice Me-
Loughlin and now William NJ John
ston have two wins on the titular
trophy. Johnston by his whIrlWind
display OF unbeatable tennis against
William 7. Tilden. of Philadelphia,
electrified the tennis world.
The Californian established suprem-
acy in three sets. He won at 6---4.
81 and 6-3. His brand of tennis
was such that the great Tilden was
unable to successfully take q set. As
Joknston afterVIasd adEn1tted he play
ed even better tennis than he ever
had before or thought he was capable
OF playing.
1t was a case OF rising to SUPER
tennis form, for Tilden was at the top
OF hts game and was shooting Such
tennis as only Tilden is capable OF
doing. At that he had nothing that
the little Californian and 1915 cham
pion was unable to cope with.

LOWER PRICES Seen
NREPORT ON TRADE
Business Volume at High
Level, Says Federal
Reserve Board

A movement toward lower prices
seems to be in progress, ana there Is
feeling throughout the country that
q satisfactory solution OF the price and
wage problems will be reached. ac-
cording TO q report on business and
financial conditions for August. made
public by the Federal Reserve Board
today
The actual volume OF business trans
acted continues ct an extremely high
level for the season OF the year, agents
OF the board found. although trans
portation difficulties and shortaEe OF
labor have been hampering factors In
certain lines.
It was found. however, that the
agricultural outlook was Sdistinctly
less favorable" than Il was q month
ago, although the large acreage sewn
in certain cases will compensate for
the decreased yield per acre.
Business Strong.
THE general business situation. +"
the report states, "While presenting
some disquieting featurees, is. how
ever, at bottom strong. Barring in
dustrial conflicts, the customary swell
in the volume Of business during the
fall months Is probable"
Referring TO the industrial situation
the report stated:
@As coraI1ary to the price problem
and the cost Of living, there Is the
feeling Of labor unrest which So
marked at the present time. and
which has given impetus to the aGlta-
ton concerning prices. Reports from
the majority Of districts designate
the labor situation as unsettled, 81
though from Chicago It Is stated that
the labor crisis which was giving
general alarm q fortnight $50 ap-
pears to have passed while several
other districts report such conditions
as fairly satisfactory"
RaIIrSad Strike Hurt
The strike Of the raflroad shopmen,
the report states, has been far
reaching in its effects. and has re-
suited in material embarrassment to
trade"
Federal Reserve Board agents found
that retail trade continues exceed
ingly active. and in many sections 1T
tie Of the mid-summer iuil is noted"
A significant statement Is that 'the
demand for watches and jewelry con-
tinues very heavy, while in some dis
tricts q lessening Of the demand for
shoes and clothing Is perceptible

The death of Roosevelt removes one

The death of Roosevelt removes one
of the three most striking figures
that America has produced in the last
so wears; the other two, to our mind
being Bryan and Wilson. Roosevelt
leaves a lasting impression upon the
nation-virile, patriotic, picturesque
He was representative Of the militant
Americanism, so brilliantly exemph-
fed bv the recent affair in France.
To many, it has seemed a pity tna'
Roosevelt felt it his duty to assume
the attitude he did toward the con-
duct of Americas part in the war
But that he acted out of the honesty
of his convictions and viewpoint, no
one will gainsay.
Intelligent and impartial criticism
is always to be desired of any matter
which affects the public, particularly.
But there are many who believe that
in the enthusiasm and intensity Of his
partisanship, Roosevelt went much
too far in many of the things ne SAID.
However, he is dead, and the world
has lost a remarkable character. The
future only will correctly measure
the true greatness Of the man. That
he would have been the republican
candidate for president next year, has
seemed to us for some time, the only
logical thing for him and that party
to do. His death leaves it practically
leaderless, so far as outstanding, ag-
gressive timber, of proved quality, is
