opment of the national policy are fore
cast in memorandum recently sub
mitted by General Pershing to Secre'
tary Weeks and made public yesterday
at the war department.
Details of such plans as may have
been already prepared by General
Pershing are not disclosed. however
contemplated assignment Of National
Guard divisions to specific defensive
positions on coasts and borders TO
which they would be rushed in the
event of war
Under the plan" General Pershing
said, .the military organizations re-
quired to secure critical landing places
upon our coasts and favorable lines of
advance upon our land frontiers can
be definitely formed and prepared.
With such initial organization assured,
the additional military units required
for the full prosecution of serious
war can be modified at once and
brought to full strength without dis
turbance or interruption.
with our territory thus protected
against landings n force at the start,
and with the machinery for further
military expansion fully organized,
our feet will be free to deal with the
hostile naval forces without concern
as to possible invasion.
The plans are practicable, General
Pershing said. If we can count upon
a reasonable deelopment Of the eco
nomical military system sanctioned by
the national defense act.
with eighteen divisions and appro-
pirate auxiliaries of the National
Guard, supplemented by the regular
army prepared for necessary expan-
sion, and with certain special units
formed in the organized reserves" he
eve shall be able to cover
our coasts and land frontiers against
serious invasion at the start.
Such military organization causes
no menace to any other nation, but
assures the impregnability Of the con
mental United States in the event of
attack by any possible combination"
General Pershing pointed out that
where a National Guard division might
,e assigned "a given beach sector for
lefense, ii would be ordered when mo- |

aking up a training area near enough |

it is planned to provide the
iyision as part OF its regular train

ecessary to enable it to carry out that
mission ON its arrival in the sector.
This done, the division would with

LEGENDRE WINS
SIX EVENTS IN
EASY WORKOUT
PentathIon Star Has Fine Day
at Georgetown, Defeating
Penn States Team.

All District of Columbia indi-
vidual track and field records went
by the boards yesterday when Bob
LeGendre, of Georgetown, won six
events I'm the Penn State-Georgetown
dual meet and broke two District

race and did not kill himself I'm
winning.
LeGendre's performances were as

shot-put, Ss feet 11& inches; javelin

Of track performances by an fndi-

easily coming through with Lee

Griffith had two bands on, hand
to make sure the bleachers

the same ball park, you've got
quite a menagerie together.
First one band would play a
piece at the other-then the bandl

usurped would retalliate. The con-
test wound up by soft-drink boys
peddling raw cotton TO the pa
, irons.
There's a municipal law against

ball clubs are exceptions to this

The Washington times., 1922-04-13

Except for an occasional game In
left field at the Polo Grounds, Few.
ster has had but little experience
playing sun fields and the park here
has one of the worst In the league.
i noticed during the practice that
Chick was having lot OF trouble
judging fly balls as they came out
OF the shadow OF the grandstand,
but figured he would soon get the
hang OF things and paid no more at
tention TO 1t.
But after the game got under
way he continued TO experience the
same trouble. With runner on sec
ond base and two out in the second
inning he seemed TO lose George
Mogridge's hoist and was SO slow in
coming In for IL that II fell safe
for a single which scored a run. A
off Joe Judges bat and IL went for
a double, scoring Mogridge.
No more flies were hit into left
field until the start of the fourth
when Stanley Harris sent one out
that way. Chick ''iost" this one
also and double which paved the
way to another run resulted. Thus,
no less than three of the six runs
scored by the Senators resulted
from hits which Fewster would
have caught with ease II he had
been accustomed TO playing sun
fields.
After Harris hit had gotten away
from him, Fewster called upon Elmer
Miller, who had been playing center
to change places with him, and after
this shift had been effected the
Yankees outfield defense stiffened
considerably.
OF course, this defeat was a source
of keen disappointment to me, but
IL had it's compensating features.
The fact that the Yankees made nine
hits, every one a clean, smashing
blow, and scored five runs off 30
good a left-handed pitcher as George
Mogridge, proved to me that they
pack a real wallop on offense, and
that they win not be nearly so weak
without Bob Meusel and myself as
some of the fans appear to believe.
IL was indeed a strange expert
ence for me TO sit. I'm the grand
stand I'm civies while my club went
through the motions of opening a
pennant pursuit and one 1 might
have enjoyed-as a strange ex-
perience-if the result had been
otherwise.
The largest crowd that ever at
tended a ball game in Washington
witnessed the engagement, among
the distinguished spectators being
President Harding and several mem
bers of his Cabinet.
The President himself threw out
the first ball, and after his party had
been seated the customary march
across the field to the flagpole was
successfully negotiated.
I was invited TO march with Presi-
dent Ban b. Johnson and several Of
ficials of the Washington club i'm
mediately behind Admiral CoontZ,
who led the parade. and thus was
not entirely out of the inaugural
ceremonies.
