road can be improved under the federal
road act. The necessary papers to get
federal aid on this stretch ~ road already
have been filed out and sent in, and IT Is
expected that the work will begin there
early this spring.

The improvements on French hill cost
about S22. 600 u mile. A proposition to i'm
prove 1876 miles Of highway on the mainly
Travelled route north and south, between

Attention was called TO the fact that
the federal government is very strict
about bridge building on all roads con-

that the bridge he of n certain standard.

CONTEST TO RIVAL
Limping Home With Sixteen De.
feats Out Of Last Twenty
Games Played.

CHICAGO. Aug. l3.-clark Griffith
took his beaten and bedraggled Grifs
out OF town last night after losing all
five games here TO the White Sox
Coming after four straight losses al
81. Louis. the Griffs have now lost
nine straight. Eddie Cicotte's master
ful fiinging, even in the face OF poor
support, gave the champions yester-
days victory. 7 TO 2.
When the Griffmen came West they
were In fourth place and fondly hoped
TO climb a bit higher. Dropping six
teen OF their, twenty games, however,
has showed them down into sixth
place. and unless they pull themselves
together soon they may fall at least
one rung lower.
Acosta, the wee Cuban. pitched the
best ball OF all the Washington
mound men while here, but like the
others he lacked the hit in the pinch
behind him and was defeated. Ths
Griffmen showed little life on the
field. curling up the moment the So1
went ahead.
In yesterdays game Courtney coll
lapsed like a house OF cards in the
third and fourth innings. Zachary re-
lieved him with the bases jammed in
the fourth. and, after that frame, held
the Sox runless TO the end

in RIGHT FIELD BERTH
Babe Ruth of Minors" Will Appear
Against the Real Babe Ruth
TomOrrOw.

When the battered Griffs line up
against the Yankees at Georgia ave-
nue. tomorrow, Washington will see
Babe Ruth in right ield for both
teams. The real Babe Ruth will be
out there for the Yankees, while for
the Griffs the Babe Ruth OF the
Minors" will be in action. This is the
promise OF President Clark Griffith,
who is now hurrying home after the
massacre in Chicago.
Brewer has recently shaken off an
attack of "fu" and may not be at his
best, but Prexy Griffith insists on his
making an early start in the big show,
Though eventually Brewer will be

third, but has played almost a whole
season in the outfield and Knows
something about gardening.

GRIFrFs LIMPING HOME.
The Grlffs are limping home, paus-
ing for rest today at Akron, ONO
where they are booked to mingle with
Mike Kahoe's rubber workers. Lack
ing pitchers. it appears folly FOR the
team to stage exhibitions, though
Hank Shanks may get into the game
as a Finger. Who can tell?
Tomorrow the Griffmen are due to
play the Yankees here and from then
until Labor Day the Washingtonians
will play all their games at Georgia
avenue, even If nobody goes out to
see them. However, with new players
reporting from time to time, 1t Is
quite possible that the fans Will go
out and take a peek at them.
The collapse of the Griffs has been
a tragedy. When they slammed the
Yankees three out of four around
July 4, they impressed the fans as
possible contenders. That was the
last good work they did. Since then
tears have flowed, and only tears.
Who could smile?
When cooler weather comes we may
attempt to tell the sad, sad story, but
it's too 0arn hot now even to contem-
plate the task.
