1t will be sad blow to those men,
bers of Congress who are now at
their homes attempting to mend
Anir political fences and get in good
with their constituents if President
Harding should call them back to
Washington to deal with the rail
road and coal strike situation. While
me President has declared that he
has all the authority necessary to
meet an emergency in the situation,
nevertheless, it is believed that he
would wish to get the direct sanction
of the legislative body before call
ing out federal troops or comman-
deering the mines in order to qua
rantee a sufficient supply OF coal for
the winter. The House was not eX-
pected to reconvene before August 10
but it may be necessary to bring the
members back before that time if the
coal mine strike and the differences
between the railroad operators and
the striking employees are not set
tied within the next few days.
The real contest for control of the
next Senate and House of Represen-
tatives by the two great political
parties will be on in earnest within
month. Headquarters Of both the
Democratic and Republican parties
are at present busy getting together
literature ready to be dispensed to
every Congressional district in the
nation calling attention to the fail
ures or achievements Of either one
or the other party.
There is no doubt that the do moth
ing policy of the Republican party in
Congress is going to have a telling
effect at the polls on election day,
and the Democrats in both House and
Senate, especially those in charge Of
the campaign, are going to make the
most of the mistakes of the Republ!-
cans, who are in control of every
branch of the national government.
The present ubiquitous Republican
tariff bill will be one Of the prln-
cipal matters brought to the atten-

it is predicted that if the next House
is not gained by the Democrats, the
Republican majority will have been
reduced to practically half a dozen
The outlook for the regain of some
seats in the Senate by the Democrats
is particularly bright just at this
time and the situation is giving the
greatest encouragement tC the Dem
ocratic leaders in both branches of
Congress.

TO DO AWAY
WITH DEPOT
At CLEARBROOK
by .3WiG

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany is endeayoring to have the rail
road agency at Clearbrook, Va. abol-
ished. An agent has been employ
ed there for years. It is now pro-
p2sed to do all the work an agent
would have to do there over the tele-
phone from the Winchester office OF
the company. Assurance is given
the desired change will not affect
passenger service at Clearbrook. Ali
trains that now stop there will con-
tinue to do so. While no reason is
given for wanting to do away with
the agent it is inferred that it is
being done to reduce expenses.

IS
BACK IN RING
y AFTER M|SHAP
Vince BIackburne Making Suc-
cess Of Fighting, Although
He Met Reverses Here.

Vince Blackburne, former bantam.
weight champion of Australia. who
visited the States two years ago and
broke his hand. in his first engage
ment, is back in the ring again in his
native country and making a success
full comeback After winning two
contests he was put against Jack
Green, who had beaten him BLACK
burne) for the title, and in the thlr-
teenth round Green was put down
and out with a terrific right with the
chin. Blackburne has now been
matched with Stanley Mcbride, the
Chicago featherweight, who went
over to the Antipodes about four
months ago. Mcbride put up some
splendid bouts against such lads as
Bud Ridley of California, Jamito and
Packy Mcfarland.
Silvinos Jamito, the Filipino
featherweight, is still going big guns
in Australia. The little fellow had
planned a trip to the States with
George Baillieu, his manager. but
there were so many good matches in
sight in Sydney and Melbourne that
he deferred his departure for the
land Of the free. His last battle was
with Jerry Sullivan. who held the
bantam title for a time. and II re-
suited in a draw after twenty rounds
of hard battling. JamitQ is anxious
to visit America and has been after
his manager to bring him over the
coming fall.
The Australian sport writer's, espe-
cially w. F. Corbett, OF the Referee.
are strong for a match between Jack
laU0nSav mi Of n world
and Harry Wills, the colored Chal-
lenger for the title. In writing Of
the affair Mr.. Corbett says:
Genuine sportsmanship in profes-
sional boxing is a prime reason why
Australia, with so small a popula-
ton, has nevertheless so high place
In the boxing world, whether for To-
cal or visiting champions. This coun-
try likes a real fight between two
men who both have a chance. But
they are nauseated by the invitation
to watch a big man repeat the wal
Looping of a smaller man. The Aus
tralian spirit calls upon a champion
to face all comers of his weight,
whether white, brown or black.
There would not be in this country
enough color prejudice to excuse
Dempsey from fighting Wills be-
cause the latter is a negro. There is
syndicate of sportsmen here who
will guarantee purse of over
$1,000 and also a side bet Of S25, 900
or more for such a battle, and fair
and impartial deal will be given both
men. Carpenter is no match for
Dempsey, so why rematch them?
There should be no siddestepping
champions Of any class"

Everybody Now Knows.

CVERYBODY should now know
why Washington will never be
- the scene of the Army-Navy
football game. For several years
rumors have been heard that huge
stadium would be erected in Poto-
mac Park and that the big service
football game would be staged in it.
They were only rumors, however.
Down underneath was the steady
assurance by both branches Of the
service that the game would never
be played here. We have talked
with some of the leaders in Navy
athletics about this and know just
what they think. Now everybody
should know.
A circular has just reached Wash
ington saying that "in the future
the Governmental free list would be
revoked and that the regular price
of $3.50 would be, required for ad-
mission to Franklin Field when the
service game is played in No
vember."
Wow, that hurt the boys up on
the Hill! What, pay their way in
to see the "wards Of the nation !"
It must not he.
Whereupon Congressman Mac
Gregor decided to forbid either
service team to play wherever
an admission is charged"

PROVE FL|VvER
New York Likely to Pay
Heavily for Something It Is
Not Likely to Get.
BY DAVIS j. WALSH.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-Just why
a hand picked ball club like the New
York Yankees. maintaining tre-
mendous salary list to supplement
the outlay of nearly a half million
dollars in the purchase OF stars
within the last three years, should
be in second place today, presents
moral, perhaps, on the subject Of
legitimate and healthful upbuilding.
The St. Louis Browns, now leading
the way in the American League,
have been assembled at a cofnpara-
lively moderate cost. The Yanks
are and always will be an extrava-
CANT venture.
SO much money has been spent
on the club since Ruth came here
from Boston three years ago that
the rest of the league cannot be
blamed for making the oft-repeated
claim that the Yanks are buying the
pennant. But 1t is easy to buy a
pennant II the exchequer can stand
the strain; It seems quite another
matter to get an fob delivery Of
same.
The pennant is bought and paid
for SO far as the Yankees are con-
cerned. But they may yet be placed
in the annoying position Of having
paid for something they will not get.
The finish is only thirty-five games
away, and owing to a league rule
covering the matter, the Yanks are
through with buying for the year.
They must now pFoceed with what
they have.
If the Yanks fail to win. and since
they finish on the road this is
entirely possible, some difficulty
may be experienced in recognizing
the team next year. A second
runner is almost certain. to cost
Miller Higgins his job and such
stormy individuals as Carl Mays and
others who have failed to deliver
may have to seek employment else
where.
Immediate results is the demand
Perhaps that accounts for the
hysterical buying and selling that
goes on here every time either OF
the local clubs shows signs of letting
some rival make a real race Of 1t.

Will Kill Athletics.

rF the service schools are for
hidden to play on fields where
= admissions, are charged, all
athletics at both institutions will
be practically killed.
West Point, for instance, is
playing Yale at football this year.
But it is playing in Yale Bowl
where 10000 people can and will
see the contest. Yale refused for
years to make the trip to West
Point simply because it could not
afford to lose money.
Princeton played last year at
Annapolis, but only because the
Middies went to Princeton the year
before.
. Pennsylvania is planning to
visit Annapolis in 1929, but only
because the Navy eleven will play
on Franklin Field this year.
Congressman MacGregor's bill
can have no effect upon Princeton,
Yale or Pennsylvania save to cut
their pleasant athletic relations
with West Point and the Naval
Academy.
While the public has been
charged admission fees 10 witness
the service teams, Congress never
gave it . thought. The moment
the free list Is to be suspended,
Congressman MHGrcgor suddenly
