DAWES TO SAVE
U.S.. HUGE SUM
Budget Director Has
Already Made Good
Progress

WASHINGTON, July 26. - The
$112,512,0O0 saving reported by
Budget Director Dawes as trimmed
from sums appropriated by congress
for operating the various depart
ments and bureaus during the fiscal
year, is only a beginner.
Dawes hopes to be able to save
four hundred millions during the year
by coordination of the purchasing
machinery of the government and by
stopping the use of hidden assets and
revolving funds" such as enabled
the Shipping Board alone to spend
last year $200,000.00O more than APP
propriated for it by congress and
what the fleet earned, too.
The first step toward achieving
this greater saving was saving taken
in the issuance of presidential OF
der stopping for the present all sales
Of surplus property owned by any
department of the government.
The next will be an order esta5.
fishing regional zones for all mate.
rial owned by the government and
the issuance of new rules governing
all sales and purchases Of govern
ment supplies.
Under the old system, where there
was no compulsory coordination be-
tween departments, the government
not only lost millions by one depart
ment selling at low prices materials
which another department would be
purchasing in the open maTkeT at
high prices, but in many cases re-
ceipts from sales, instead of being
turned into the treasury, were ust Il
by the bureau or department for eX-
penditures over and above the sums
appropriated.
Dawes has estimated that in re
cent years the government has been
spending, through the use of these
hidden assets and revolving funds
established by congress, not less than
$500, 100000 year more than con
gress has provided
Dawes has found cases where sur
plus materials held by one depart
ment have been for from So to SIS
per amt, at the time when another
department, declinging to purchase
from surplus stocks, has been pay
ing from $35 to $40 per unit for
the same article in the open market
This is the condition Dawes is de-
termined to correct Since the blu.
reaus and departments have declin-
ed to coordinate voluntarily, he is
bringing to bear presidential orders
that will make such coordination
compulsory.
In the case of revolving funds.
established by law, he will take the
situation up with congress, point out
the wastes and losses that have re-
suited, and ask legislation to end the
evil.

REAL FANS
RETURN BALLS

The Philadelphia Nationals are
feeling the pinch Of balls lost in the
grandstand
They are offering passes for re-
turns. '-
Thissis opposite to the system used
in Cleveland. Owner Jim Dunn has
publicly announced that customers
who nab stray basebalIs may keep
them for Souvenirs.
But Of course Dunn has Just won
a pennant and is well on his way
toward another while the Phillies are
having a lean year with a cellar ball
club. ..
We believe Dunn is using the right
tactics and that he will get better
percentages than Philadelphia.
Fans ought to be loyal enough to
return baseballs without having to
bribe them.
We can. imagine small boy turn
ing in a ball Tor q pass, but not an
honest-to-g goodness fan.

PRESIDENT ASKS
FUNDS FOR ". &c
Early Adjustment And
Relief of Rail Prob
lem Is End Sought

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Presi-
dent Harding in a special massage to
congress today, asked that it extend
the authority of the War Finance
Corporation to enable it to purchase
securities, probably to the extent of
half a billion dollars, now in the
hands of the Railroad Administration,
so that the proceeds may be used for
settlements with the railroads
This, the president told congress,
would open the way to early adjust
ment and relief" of the railroad
problem There was no thought, he
said, of asking congress for addi-
tional money.

SECOND GUESSING.

Charley White, after an absence
of nearly seven years in New YORK
rings, will get back on the Gotham
boards August 10.
He will have Johnny Dundee, the
rubber ball Italian, as his opponent.
If he can master this fellow in the
10 rounds to a decision bout he Will
again loom as a lightweight contend,
er for Leonard's crown.
And 1T is nrGally Leonard toward
whom White is pointing.
The Chicago boy is like Carpenter
in that after being Knocked out he
has figured out where he fought
the champion .rong at Benton Har-
Dor.
Carpenter has figured out the
same thing as regards his demise at
Jersey City.
But the ring is one place where
second guessing doesn't bring home
the well-known bacon.

Plans 5000 Mi. Trip
To Sea In 34-Ft. Yawl

LOS ANGLES, Calf, July 20
Harry Pidgeon who single handed
sailed a 34-foot yawl from Los An
geles harbor to Honolulu and back
last summer is preparing his craft
for a voyage to the South Sea Is
lands, 5000 miles southwest of here.
He plans to. set sail for the Mar
kuesas within the next month or so.
Pidgeon IS an amateur mariner.
Without previous experience, he built
his boat himself He got his plan
from the 25-foot yawl "Seabird" in
which Thomas Fleming Day made 6
trip across the Atlantic u years ago,
but made his own boat nine feet long
err.
When he had finished his ship
building last summer, he obtained a
sextant and picked up little naviga-
ton. Then he set sail alone and made
Honolulu in 26 days after fairly
rough trip. He also sailed the boat
home, but took shipmate along to
give him better opportunity to sleep,
P.dgeon plans to take supplies and
water sufficient for two or three
months, to carry him through the
doldrums in the South Pacific. A
sea anchor will furnish a valuable
part of his equipment for use in
heavy weather and when he sleeps.

NEEDLES EYE

There, is, another reason why Red
Faber is leading the American
League pitchers and Ralph Glazner
the Nationals than that each has a
lot of stuff.
It's their control. They can put the
ball where they want over the plate
with almost mechanical ability.
That is the biggest asset of any
pitcher
Take a look backwards to that
grand old NANCY Young.
He registered % seasons in the ma,
jors before he faded.

1879 bases on balls and struck out
2768 batters. His average for bases

DISAPPOINTED

The tour which Abe Mitchell and
George Duncan will take over Am
eIican links won't be as successful
as the. one made a year ago by Ted
Ray and Harry Vardon.
The Britons failed to show as In.
pressively in the National Open as
did Vardon and Ray
After Ray won the American Ma
tional Open he was a drawing card
everywhere.
Mitchells hard luck which finally
ended him by picking up his ball and
withdrawing was a hard jolt.
But don't judge his golf by that
sorry exhibition. He's got the magic
stuff and he win show it before he
leaves. our shores.
Ray and Vardon are at their best
in individual play.
Mitchell and Duncan show to ad
vantage most in team play.

That was a wonderful record. The

These Scots are the best represen-

They came to America for the pur-
pose of stimulating interest in their

They succeeded.
Seeing finished players in action
