VETERANS WERE SLOW.
True, the veterans were slow In
getting into shape. johnson lost
most of his training because of
illness, both in himself and In
members of his family: Zachary
was not in condition, complaining
of a weak arm: Mogridge had some
trouble with his back, preventing
his working in turn; Shanks had
gained in weight and lost in speed;
Roger Peckinpaugh. veteran, was
supposed to hit his stride almost
any day; Leon Goslin. who started
well the year before, was expected
to prove a wonder. and Phillips,
Woodward and Gleason were held
most promising.
1t was with stunning disappoint-
ment that the Griffs, opening their
first series in Boston, showed un-
mistakable weaknesses. These
glared again In New York and In
the series at Shibe Park against
the Mackmen.
Instead Of battling with the lead
ers from the sound OF the bell. the
Griffs rapidly slid into the cellar.
Manager Milan did the best he
could, which wasn't much, to pull
his team together.

Army and Navy Officials Lean
Toward Baltimore, With
Washington Four Years Oft.

4 NNAPOLIS, Nd, Dec. 30
"a Washington will be elimi-
"A mated for the next four years
from consideration as the scene of
the big service football game un-
less effective action is taken at
once.
This is the effect of the pre-
liminary understanding between
representatives of the naval and
military academies, and it will
probably be the official action be-
fore a week passes.
Baltimore appears to have won
its fight for consideration, and will
make every effort to land the game
of 1924 for its big new stadium.
1t appeared at the recent confer
ence among the service representa-
tives with its mayor and about
thirty others, and urged the advan-
tages of it's big new stadium. No
Washingtonian were on hand.
The Army will choose the battle
ground next year, and there Is lit
tie doubt that 1t will be New York.
The Navy insisted that the play
ing area should not be limited on
the south to Philadelphia, as in
the previous agreement, but should
be extended to Baltimore.
There Is reason to believe that
the Army officials will yield to the
Navy's stand on this matter, but
the Navy has not asked that 1t be
extended so as to include Washing
ton. There has been or'- a ten
tative agreement up ..hs time.
but 1t may become Official in very
short time.
1t will cover the details OF the
game for four years, instead of
three, as did the last. and will
provide a method of selecting the
grounds and also the date OF the
playing. 1t is believed that some
of the games will be played little
later In the season than previously.
The Navy will not play in Wash
ington in 1928. but can probably
get a big game in 1924 II 1t wishes
it. The game with Princeton will
be played on October 81 next. and
either at Baltimore or Annapolis
the chances largely favor Baltimore
for this game.
The Navy will also play Penn
sylvania State at State, and the
Military Academy away from home,
all other games being played In
Annapolis.

Rubber Industry Due
For Hard Shedding

LONDON, June IA - (Associated
Press MaiD-The rubber industry in
BRUSH colonies and protectorates has
nara times ahead Of it. That is the
opinion expressed by the committee
appointed by the Colonial Secretary
TO investigate the situation.
Inc committee has Just made its re-
port. 1t says the total world stocks
OF crude rubber at the beginning of
the year were estimated at $1,000
tons. That was much more than the
world required. Therefore it advises
winston Churchill, the Colonial Secre-
tary, TO contemplate with grave con
Germ the position of the industry in
BRUSH colonies and p~rotectorates IN
less steps are taken to reduce stocks
ana further to prevent over-production
OF rubber so long as the potential nor
NAL production continues to be sub
stantially in excess of consumption {"
The committee adds it is OF the opin-
ION that consumption is not likely to
oVertake production for some wears
There is no doubt" the committee
goes on to say, that much can he
done in the direction of stimulating
new and extended uses of rubber" But
that may not help much for the com
mlttee takes care to add: This can
in itself provide an immediate
solution of the problem, since much
time must necessarily elapse before
any new and extended Uses OF rubber
can become sufficiently operative to
bring about materially increased con-
sumption. Further it should be real
lied that improved methods of manu-
featuring rubber products, such as
tires, undoubtedly prolong the life of
the article and consequently curtail
the demand for raw rubber"
In the matter of the compulsory re-
striction OF the production Of raw rub

eminent whose lands also produce
much rubber will have to be consulted

When We began the exposition we
had thought that we would present
an adequate display of the manner in
which women were successfully en-

LONDON. June 2 - ASSOCIATED
Press MaiD-George Bernard Shaw
has been offered 100000 a year for
five years by an American syndicate
to produce two motion-picture films
each year. The author made this an
nouncement himself at a dinner of
the Society of Authors in London. De
claring that the cinema rights of a
single story might be worth $780, 900,
he urged young authors not to be too
ready to give concessions to cinema
producers or literary promoters,
among whom, he said, there was IN
fortunately no absolute standard of
honesty.
"A man who sells a table or a chair
charges no more than the cost of
the article plus a reasonable percen-
tage of profit, he said, but nothing
of the kind applies to the publishing,
theatrical or cinema business. The
truth is the whole thing is a gamble.

success in 10 or 20 ventures want
TO make that success pay for all fail

Mystery of Radio
Flivver is Explained

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1-(Associ-
ated Press MaiD-The radio hivver
which caused amusement and excite
ment during the recent convention of
the Shriners in San Francisco las
been retired TO a work shop to be
d 'mantled. The retirement caused
no regrets from the traffic policemen
as most of them have skinned shins
as reminders of the radio hivyer's
tours OF the city, and their attempts
to stop a machine that apparently was
proceeding without a driver.
The flivver made frequent trips
through the crowded streets and no
driver was visible. A sign on the
machine proclaimed that it was George
w. Houghson's radio flivver. An an
tenna of three strands, properly in
sulated, was strung on the top of the
enclosed flivver and to all appearances
the machine travelled through CON
gested traffic districts without a man
at the steering wheel.
Traffic policemen and citizens gen
orally attempted to stop the machine
when it seemed to be moving without a
driver. Many of them leaped on the
running board and attempted 10 use
the brakes and steering gear but they
refused TO function.
The secret of the radio flivYer was
that a duplicate control had been plac-
ed in the enclosed part of the car and
the driver was hidden behind 4 dark
curtain so that he was invisible.
