1t never pays to take anything Tor
granted in this game of baseball, as
the fGriffmen will tell you after losing
10 to o in ten innings to the Red Sox
yesterday, having enjoyed at one time
a o to = lead over the Bostonese.
Howard Shanks probably will be the
Ioudest in saying "you never can
tell He left a run go over the
plate in the sixth inning when Wash
ington still had three Kun margin
left in it's favor. Foster was on
third and one was out. Three runs
already had scored.
Scott bounded to Howard and he
disrcgarded the shout of Joe Judge
and threw across the first, eraslng
Scottie but never making a move to
cut of Deacon Foster at home.
There was a little run together or
the infielders after this play, even
then they had a three run advantage
and it looked safe. But it wasn't
safe. Had Shanks made the play to
the plate he would have caught Fos-
ter with plenty to spare.
WOULDN'T USE WALTER.
Griffith could have used Walter
Johnson IN there yesterday, and Walt.
the great, would have been pleased to
serve. But Griff does not want to
use the cyclone just that way this
season. He wants to save him for
that pnce-in-so-often performance and
have MIN then do justice to his great
ability and pull the team along with
him..
DAYS there were when Griff would
have hcsitated not a jifYy about stick
ing Walter in there in pinches for
seven days in a week. But times have
changed, or, at least, Griff says he
would not have used the Kansan had
the latter been there.
Rather too bad to have such
thing happen to the Griffs the way
they are going right now. But they
were not discouraged, Rather the
morning finds them with blood in
their eyes for the double-header this
afternoon. Maybe Snyder and Court
ney will go along again and try their
luck Their main trouble yesterday
was inability to be steady.
But, really. that was not their fault
40 much as It was Erickson's. That.
son OF Scandinavia had the Red Sox
on the run early in the game, got
little careless, and once the Sox start
ed hitting they never did forget to be
dangerous.
RIVE PROVES A STAR

fortune.
Two sensational .outfielders OF last
season were star performers yester-
day. Menosky grabbed liner by

not a chance for any one to advance,

ALL SHUN HAITI
Tourist Is Rarely Seen and Goes Only
 on Business

Port Au Prince November 22.- Americans seldom come to Haiti except on business. It is the rarest thing to see a tourist here and ship travellers, stopping at this port for several hours, rush aboard again after hurried sur vey of the water front section. The hordes of beggars besettine the visltors as they attempt to walk through well paved streets. lined with the lame and the blind discourages the visitors.
 The chamber of commerce, mindful of this evil, is trying to end it, for the organization admits that 1t is the thing that turns touriss away. Aside from the occupation forces there are about 200 Americans in the capital only four full steaming days from New York, Haiti is lucky if it gets mail in eight or ten days.
 The one hotel here patronized by Americans sits back toward the base of the mountainside overlooking the sea and beyond walking distance of town Once acclimated the resident American likes the weather, but there never was a sun in Texas that beats down with the intensity of this Haitian sun around midday
 The old belief held in many parts oi the United States that Port au Prince is a breeding spot of crime is wrong now

 The journey of the children from Nalila to the Finnish border was made by special train and sledges through deep snow drifts. Upon, their dr. rival at the frontier the American of ficers in charge of the children were met by a committee of the parents as sembled beneath a white flag mark ing the Russian border line.
 The children crossed in single file. The Russian commissar was handed the list of the children and was asked if he wished to check them singly. He replied that he preferred to check them in bulk "as I have lots of other work to do," he said

flrst National Bank Building Montgomery, December 1e-(Spe- cial.)-Has Mexico, after 12 years of revolution which involved death and destruction of property, established a government which can stand the acid test of time and give that nation a stable position among others of the , western hemisphere?
 Every American who went into Mexico for the festivities attendant upon the inauguration of General Obregon as President of the republic has asked himself this question many times, knowing that his friends lack home would seek information about conditions and business opportunities The answer must of necessity he a guess, for Mexico is the puzzle of civilization.
 No American is prepared at this tune to say Mexico has stable government. because no Mexican can say more man T hope and believe so." Therefore, the only answer an American ray make is; T trust so.' But back of this equivocal answer may be found real hope that the days of revolution in Mexico are over, and that the gov ernment of President Obregon i'll olopAilHe DuS4hesS anu soCial feid 'fohS and will so meet the demands of the two great classes in Mexico that there will be no need in the near future for the further use of armed force.
 APPEAL FOR FAIRNESS
 Americans who were in Mexico City during the inauguration week learned much about the internal affairs of the nation and the causes which level oped each revolution. In order that Ghose back home may understand con ditions, they must have a better un- derstanding of the chief events in he life of that country during he last 12 years than they have received from the fragmentary reports reaching this
