The chief cog in the Indians
batting machine is the great Iris
Speaker.
Speaker, as leader, has dis
proven the theory that players
ability is hampered by mana geriaI
duties. Rather it has given Spoke
a new lease on brilIiancy.
He's having his greatest year
at the bat. Tire race which George
SisIer of the Browns and Iris are
running in leading the American
League batting is almost as inter-
esting as the pennant race itself.
Speaker is flirting with the ambi
ton to pull through the season as
400 or better hitter.
Elmer Smith and Larry Gardner
are the other members of the In
dams crew of cleanup batters.
Steve o'Neil is outhitting both of
/, them but the sterling Cleveland
catcher isn't as fleet as Elmer and
Larry so follows them on the bat

ting order.
Smith is having a great year. He
is hitting for extra bases most of
the time. His sweetest triumph at
the bat was home run with he
bases loaded down with Indian
runners during one of the Yankees
visits at the Cleveland ball lot. He
was given one of the greatest ova-
tons player has received here
since the days of the. great Addie
Joss and Napoleon Lajoiie. He has
kept his average over the 800
mark this year. Aside from that
Speaker has taught him to be
great fielder.
As for Larry Gardner-he still
holds the reputation of being the
most dangerous man to pitch to
in the American League when
there are runners on the bases. He
has driven in more runs than any
player in the Johnson circuit this
year.

CONGESTION BROKEN ON
 NEW YORK WATER FRONT

New York, Aug 12-New York today settled down to the task of working itself out of the traffic tangle in whine it be- came involved several months ago through differences between coastwise steamship lines and union teamsters.
 Although announcement was made last night that these differences had been adjusted, the citizens transportation com mittee which had been operating trucks to keep freight moving, decided late to- day to continue operations until Sep tember l, in order to aid in cleaning up prevailing congestion.
 At the same time William Simmons, general freight and passenger agent of the Southern Pacific Steamship Com pany announced that embargoes on south bound coastwise shipments of freight, put into effect some time ago because of the longshoremen's strike, had been lift ed.
 Labor conditions, MT. Simmons added. are now practically normal and freight from interior points, carloads or less, with exception of structural steel, will be received as rendered and for warded promptly.
 The Southern Pacific Company, known as the Morgan Line, operates a service between New York New Orleans and Galvestoon. Lifting of the embargo per mits shipment of goods sold on existing rates before the advance on August 26.

Hugh Gibso, American minister to Po- land, who has been home on leave will depart tomorrow for his post in War saw. MT. Gibson will be accompanied by Warren B. Robbins, acting chief of the division of Near Eastern affairs, who has been temporarily assigned as chan cellor of the legation. -
 The official communique announcing the intention of the French government to recofgnize as a de facto government, that represented by General Wrangel in south Russia, was received here today in official circles.
 Administration officials consider the French step is logical in view of the formal succession of General WrangeI to the authority of Admiral Kolchak and the Omsk government, which was recog- nized by both France and Great Britain.
 With forshadowing a similar step by the United States, officials declared that the atcion of France was in no way in consistent with the policy towards Rus sia advocated in the American note to the Italian ambassador. The American government, it was recalled, while not having recognized kolchak, at one time endeavored earnestly to place Kelchak in position in which he might be recognized"
 Reports that Frances recognition of Wrangers government had led to decid- ed differences between Prmirs Lloyd George and Millerand generally were minimized in official circles here. ,~- -S--

AID TO POLAND RECEIVES
 SERIOUS CONSIDERATION

Washington, Aug. 12-Moved by the reiterated pleas for aid from the Polish government, the war department had under serious consideration today the request of Prince Lubomirsky, Polish minister, for permission to purchase war materials from the United States.
 After successive conferences yesterday and today between the Polish minister and Secretary Colby the state depart ment also took ,upthe problem of find ing means of re1nvigoratig the fast eb- ping strength of &he Polish state and thereby of fulfilling the assurance of support to the Poles contained in the recent American note to the Italian am bassador.
 Polish officials here explained today that in addition to the desire for war materials, they were most anxious to obtain authorization of the United States to permit recruiting by Poles in Amer ica for the Polish army. It was said that not only had many offers of en- listments been received by the legation from Polish citizens, resident in the United Statese, but many offers had come from former American veterans of the world war

LACK OF PAPER WILL CAUSE
 NEWSPAPERS TO SUSPEND

New York Aug. 12-S sny newspapers Will have to suspend pub4ication because production and shipment of print paper must cease, unless the interstate com merce commission modified it's priority orders in alloeating coal and wood cars. Fhlllp T, Dodge, president of the Inter national Paper company declared here today.
 In letter appealing Q the commits slon for consideration of paper mills needs for rail equipment to deliver their fuel and pulp wood, MT. Dodge said that more than 400 newspapers the United States directly dependent on the Inter- national Paper company for their paper stock now are living from hand to mouth.
 There is no accumulation of paper MT. Dodge said. The newspapers are using paper daily as they receive it. There is no immediate shortage of pulp wood or our supplies. We have stocks for several months ahead piled up along railroads with men waiting to load it into cars. Rolling stock is all that is needed to get it to the m1ls
 Coal cars must be allocated to us to bring us fuel to run the mills. The plants at Berlin and Franklin, N H., Niagara Falls. Piercefield and Brown vile, N. Y, Bellows Falls and Wilder, Vt, and Orono, Maine, will have to shut down if cars are not set us soon.'
 Referring to the allocation of cars MT Dodge said: Your very drastic service orders do not take into consideration the necessity of shipments to the paper mills.
 We submit that there should be some modification of the orders or some pro- vision which will enable the Rochester and Pittsburgh Coal and Iron Company of Indiana, Pa, and the Watkins coal company of Barnesboro, Pa, to ship to su without delay"
