have built up a fast team around a
group of able twirlers and the Sun
day game will probably be an ex-
citing one.
Last Sunday Vic Jacobson tossed
a no-hit, no-run game against Coal
Town, defeating them s to 0. Be-
side his superb tossing, Vic got a
run, a hit and three putouts. Baum
was going at 1000 clip, getting
three hits in as many times at bat.

The Man Of Mystery has Joined
the Islanders. Local club officials
this morning received telegram
from McQuillan that he had sign
ed an infielder whom the Western
Union insisted is Mr.. "Sluimer." He
is from the Indianapolis club. it is
understood. McQuillan expects to
sign q new pitcher, too. Murphy,
who has been at shortstop, will go
back to third and the new infielder
goes to short
The Evas have released Pitcher
Joe Ulrich. Joe returned to his
home in Cincinnati. He was one Of
the trio of Bashang hurlers to fall
under the barricade of Islanders

Manager McQuillan Is confident
that Wire will be an all-around i'm

the deal for the Eva sacker he told
the sport scribes in that city that

Ebert, procured by the Tots from
Milwaukee, played his first game

got hit, stole a base and scored.

WAR FRAUD CASES
 MAY BE BARRED
Statute of Limitations May Protect Certain Species of American
 Contract Grafters.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Crininal prosecution of several war contract fraud cases by the government may be barred by the statute of nnlita- .ions. 1t was said today at the depart rneut of justice. The federal crirn- inal statute officials explained runs tor three years after the commission of an overt act in the case of a con- spiracy to defraud the government and many of the war contracts were completed before the armistice on November II. 1918.
 AS a part of the departments in- vestigation of all government war contracts for evidence of unfair deal- ing. officials said, each case is being carefully examined in the light of the statute of limitations. If con- tract was completed more than three yeaIg ago they added, but the con- spirfcy did not develop until a later da:s, there would be no bar to prose- c,Tgon. if the evidence was found to warrant it. To remedy the situation generally officials said, congress has been asked to extend the limit of the federal statute to six years.
 The federal statute, however. it was said, applies only to criminal cases and does not affect civil suits for recovery py the government. These cases it was explained, are governed by the different state statutes which generally put the limitation at about six years.

S2,50O,OO0 GIVEN
 TO SOLVE PROBLEM
Baldwin Locomotive Gives MeXi. can Govt. Money for Railroads

Mexico City, Sept. 2.-The credit of s2,5o0,0oo just extended by the Bald- win Locomotive Co.,, through it's pres ident, Samuel NJ. Vaulain, to the Mexican government, is to be utilized as a start toward solving the railroad problem-one of the most difficult rolling stock and construction material for the national railways.
 All the lines under federal operation have deteriorated during the extensive periods of revolution until their re- Mobilization is now a mater of millions of dollars requiring administrative genius. Instances of graft running into hundreds of millions are alleged to have been uncovered by the pres ent board of directors. Ramona P. Denegri, who is the personal repre- sentative of President Obregon on the board, recently declared that the lines had lost by graft more than S30O,- 100000 during the past ten months,
 AS a result the lines are said to be lamentably inefficient now and the transportation problem is causing end less worry to merchants and shippers. The ports of entry such as Vera Cruz. Tampico and Laredo have f>en con- gested but, according to authentic re- ports, the situation is gradually clear ing and freight which has been lying on wharves or in railroad yards is now being shipped with some semblance of regularity.
 A numor which cannot be substan- tiated here is that the Mexican govern ment is des'-ous of securing the serv- ices of a prsA tical American railroad administrator who will act in an ad- visory capacity to the Mexican board of directors.

corlal;teo or their unqualified moral eupport.
 Because Of hnancial ealrenc!es the next logical step seemed to ba to place conditions before tho board ot finance and taxation lu n effort to induce the city to supply funds 10 carry out the program for the rscal year.
 Prom nent and influential men ap- peared before the board. giving con- vincins arguments Tor the uainten- anca of the work. All the board mem- hers personally believed that the work vas necessary and should be enCour- q ged. however, when the pruning time came f was felt that an approprta- ton for Americanization would be subject for attack at the taxpapers' meeting. hence an appropriation in this years budget was not made. The taEpapers netting which followed showed that their fears were ground less. The Americanization director was advlsed by his committee to carry on his work as etticientlv as possible with the funds available. which were considered insufficient for the proper extension Of the work.
 The work was divided into three classes with the following results from January 1st to July lst: Bureau. school work and tnspirational work among clubs. societies, etc.
 Bureau work: Legal advice. s: natu- raIizod. 75: housing. .; financial, s; employment. 65. citizenship. 75.
 Meetings. Five public meetings were held with an attendance of 1250 per sons. - people attended one factory meeting. 3s club and society meetings were held with an attendance record of 2250.
 The information bureau was con- ducted al the old Burritt school. be- Ing open each day from s:30 to 5 and one evening each week. The above report cannot give an adequate idea of the amount of work involved. The director was obliged to attend to all clerical work appertaininr to his of flee
 schoo. work: The director person ally taught civics and citizenship three nights a week in the evening schools or a total of 10 evenings of two hours each
 There was an average attendance of AS al each class. Personally taught English to unemployed foreign born men. 20. afternoons of two hours each. average attendance each aftet- noon. 10. total men reached. 800,
 Talks on Characterization, citizen shhip. etc. with stereopticon views to n total attendance of 2.s0O foreign and 500 native born.
 Held three puhli, receptions at the old EHhu Burritt school for newly made American citizens. Aggregate at tendance between 200 and 1,500. in cluding foreign as well as native born.
 Assisted the industrial council in formulating and carrying out a pro gram for a reception to an men made citizens for the year 1920 and 1921
 This work that has been done for the past six or seven months has served two purposes. First: It has served to introduce the present direc- tor and build up for him wall of confidence amongst the foreign born. which is indispensable. and it might bo said absolutely necessary for suc- cessfuI conduct of the work. Second ly: It has furnished the basis for a program of conducting the work on permanent yet inexpensive basis Tn New Britain.
