Wet Field and Darkness Mar
Church League Game
Last Evening.

To- H D. IA.
4 The First Methodist Protestant
ba seball team of the Church Lea
que increased its lead in the pen
-nant race last evening when it de
feated the Palantint Baptists by
score of IL to 5. The field was not
in very good condition and the
darkness of the evening made play
dangerous, but the two teams were
present and hurried the game
through rather than have another
postponed gamesto play.
After winning the game last eve
ming, the Methodist are one full
game ahead of the Diamond street
team, their nearest rival. Next
week marks the close of theregular
league schedule, but it will rake
at least another week to play off
the postponed games.
Monday night the Diamond street
team will clash with the First NJ.
P. boys. the league leaders. A win
for the Diamond street team would
give it an outside chance to win

McNary of Oregon Favors .
Reclamation Amendment
TO Bonus Measure.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 28-Con-
gress is given an opportunity to
..do a grand thing in empire build
ing" in connection with the sol
dier's bonus. Senator McNary. Re
publican. Oregon, declared today
in the Senate in urging II recla-
nation amendment to that mea-
sure.
Calling attention that in every
war the government mad provided
as aid land for veterans, he argued
that there was no good reason for
the abandonment of this nat onal
policy at this time.
"This amendment is not novel
in any of it's provisions" he said,
sits purpose and scope is to en-
courage the development Of the
agricultural resources of the
United States through federal and
state cooperation, giving prefer
encesin the matter of employmen
and the establishment Of rural
homes to those who have served
in the military and naval forces of
the United States in the World
War, the Spanish-American War
and the PHILIPPINES Insurrection.
ut contemplates an ultimate
expen diture for reclamation of
arid, semi-ariS, swamp and over
flowed lands in the United States,
the sum OF $35O,O0O,O00. The
amendment does not supercede or
displace the present reclaim alton
law. That law Will continue to
operate exclusively in its present
field

reports of Secretary Fall and

that Thousands OF veterans desired

ences reached the conclusion that
! the bituminous coal situation was
in fair way TO clear itself up en-
tirely, that the anthracite Strike
showed indications of settlement In
the very near future. and that II
facilities could be provided to &C
celerate shipments OF fuel sup
plies. thus clearing the general
situation. it would be much as 40
enable a gradual reestablishment
of complete stability.
! Just what executive steps are
in cont temptation to facilitate coal
shipments was not revealed. but il
| was indicated that both the Inter
state Com NJ cree Commission and
the emergency fuel distribution
machinery already set up would be
relied upon to provide effective
m easures to protect the interests
of the public. There were intima-
tions that curtailment Of pas
senger- express and freight traffic
in all commodities except fuel and
essential foodstuffs was among
the possibilities.
Chairman Cummins. who has ad-
vocated steps TO authorize presi-
Dental operation of roads and
mines, would not discuss the May
flower conversations on his return
to the capitol today. but he ndicat-
ed that he might not offer for the
present the authorizing legislation
he has prepared. It was the clear
implication of all the leaders. both
in executive and legislative circles
however. that possible action in
that direction still was a part OF
the government strike program if
lesser measures >do not prove et-
fective.
With little discussion and no
record vote. the Senate committee
void favorable report today on
the Cumnins Bill to create a coal
distribution agency and TO extent
the authority of the I;~erstate
Commerce Commission over prior
ity Of shipments, and it was in
dicated that the measure probably
would be taken up in the Senate IT
self later in the week. At the
