Not since 1912-1913, when Jerome

this feat are promising.

Many of the leagues have rigid rules
as to the makeup of the various
teams, and the adoption Of the old
District Baseball Association code
with some notifications, places the
organized interests on a par with the
most advanced ideas in sandlot base
ball in the country.
For a great many years. the so
called National Amateur Federation
has attempted to take in the Dis
trict of Columbia organization, and
recently made overtures to the local
officials.
During the war years the league
interests existed by mutual agree
ments and staged a final series.
The adoption of the old rules this
season argues for somewhat tighter
legislation and an effort to keep the
sandlot game on high plane.

All league contests will be wound
up by August Is, at which time tht
various league presidents will nonIi'
nate their winners for participation
In what is known as the post-season
championship league series. The
winner of this series is the champion
of the association.
II is probable that at the conclu-
sion of the District Association series
this summer, a city title series will
be inaugurated between the assoGia-
ton winner and the Independent asso-
citation winner in the unlimited class.
BY May 3 all of the District Asso-
citation League schedules will be well
under way. Some of the circuits are
staging a double series, with a final
series for the winners at the end of
the regularly scheduled games.
Others are playing straight through
and are leaving dates open toward
the end of the schedule for possible
postponements.
In the District Association players
are limited to two teams and there
has been considerable speCulations as
to the personnel of the fifty-odd teams
of the nine leagues. Practically all
of the best players in the city are
listed with the organized league
teams.

When taken in connection with

Good Fish
Stories
BY International News Service.

POPLAR BLUFF, Mo-, May
24.-John Wilson, farmer
living on Black river, Just
across the Arkansas line, has
arrived at a new scheme to
catch fish.
Wilson's home and front
yard, which is fenced with
pickets, is located in the low
lands near the river The other
day the river began rising, and
Wilson, having a couple head
of cattle in his yard, opened
his front gate to let the cattle
out so that they could go to
the hills.
The river came up and filled
Wilson's yard. Thoughtlessly,
while riding in his yard in a
small boat, Wilson noticed the
gate open and closed it.
When the river went down
the next day or so Wilson
found that he had several hun
dred pounds of buffalo fish in
his yard. They had come in
the yard when he opened the
gate, but could not get out
through the fence with the gate
closed.

first time direct intimation was

have expressed its opposition tc

Messrs. Woodruff and johnson
scoffed at the idea of any reflec

the truth come out.
In private conversations, other
leaders on the Republican side
have let 1t be known for two weeks
that a decree of thumbs down or

by Mondell and the steering com
mittee.
In statement announcing the
determination of Johnson and him
self to go through with the inves
tigation. Woodruff said:
"Since the introduction OF oui
resolution conditions have not ir
any way changed. notwithstanding
the fact that Mr.. Daugherty very
belatedly requested and received

Also. Notwithstanding the fact
that this resolution for an investiga

by the Department of Justice to give
any one reason to believe that any
thing is going to be done toward ade

Irrespective of treaties, no coun'
try can afford TO give up such de-
Velopment and research work as will
enable 1t to discover what gases are
capable of being used, in what guam
titles, and how economically they
can be produced In warfare, and
what protective masks and clothing

Untermyer Advises
Public Inquiry to
Expose War Grafters

Congressman Woodruff today made
public further correspondence with
Samuel Untermyer, of New York,
who has been appealed to to volun-
teer his services in the interest OF
adequate action against those re-
sponsible for war frauds. The corre-
spondence included a telegram from
Mr.. Woodruff to Mr.. Untermyer yes
terday, asking the noted investiga-
ton lawyer to come to Washington
to go over the records and evidence,
and a reply saying Mr.. Untermyer' 3
engagements prevented his coming g
to Washington. He stated, however,
that he would be glad to see Con-
gressmen Woodruff and Johnson in
New York. Woodruff announced ar
rangements for a conference in New
York within the near future.
The Woodruff telegram to Inter
myer follows:
"You letter of May 20. Pleasa wire
Immediately earliest date you can
come to Washington for important
conference, and to go over records
and evidence in connection with facts
we are trying to bring out for the
American public to pass judgment on
which will establish the righteous
ness OF our cause"
The Untermyer reply reads:
Telegram received. My engage
ments render 1t impossible for me to
come to Washington. Will glady see
you and others here this week with
documents.
II am satisfied nothing short OF
drastic public investigation will ever
disclose the entire truth. The method
now being pursued will doubtless
gather in a few scapegoats for sen
sational effect who may or may not
ever be tried. 1t will doubtless dc
great injustice and accomplish nc
results.
Such procedure will inevitably en-
courage playing political favorites
selecting given cases, protecting
friends, and furnishing enemies. II
Congress really wants to expose facts
without fear or favor, it's only course
in this difficult situation is to have
public investigation, followed by in
dictments OF offenders thus exposed
That gives every one with real in
formation opportunity 10 present his
proofs and prevents suppression and
handpicked prosecutions.

latter course. but will gladly co
operate and make whatever personal
sacrifices. II any. that may be re
quired of me II investigation or
