Former President Wilson by num-

seized enemy dye and chemical pat
ents to the Chemical Foundation,
Inc. by the alien property custodian,
today in federal district court in con-
cluding his argument in the govern
ment's suit to set aside the sale.
The President confirmed the trans
action. Attorney Isador j. Kresel
said by adopting the report of A.

ported in detail; by sending that re-
port to Congress. by writing into the
treaty of Versailles a provision that
Germany should indemnify it's ma
message to Congress in May, 1919.
urging tariff protection for the do
mestic dye and chemical industry.
Mr.. kresel also argued that Francis
=. Garvan had been appointed alien
property custodian to carry out the
transaction, and that whatever Mr..
GarVan die he did at the orders of
his superio. officer, the President.
Mr.. Caravan was the instrument of
the President, appointed for that pur-
pose, the President knowing full well
all the facts" declared Mr. krcsel.
He added that Mr.. Garvan. while
making the transfer to the founda-
ton, of which he was president. had
no interest in conflict with the in
terests of the United States, and that
consequently the governments claim
that the transaction was illegal be-
cause Mr.. Garvan was at the same

BOSTON, July 28.-The Griffmen
made it an even break by whip

final mixup Of the series here. but
the real attraction was the one
round battle on the bench between
Valentino Picinich, known far and
wide as the vegetable catcher, -
and Chicken Fewster, the Battling
Baltimore Oriole.''
Picinich uncorked a wild heaVe
in the first frame. This nettled
Fewster, whose rough tongue as.
serted itself. Valentino also pos
sesses a barbed wire tongue and
soon they were tearing each other
apart. This continued steadily un-
til the Sox finished their turn at
bat in the fifth.
With the last out the vegetable
catcher" mixed il with the Bat
Ting Oriole." There was more or
less commotion, Picinich swinging
nifitly. So did Fewster. Each
landed a couple Of times before

Interfere. The enraged athletes
cooled off after a while, shook

The game? 1t wasn't much.
Howard Ehmke, probably the best
pitcher in the league today, was
off form and failed to last two
innings. Six runs came over for
the Griffs in the first frame and
O'Doul took up the mound job with
one gone in the second. He was
also slammed hard by the Wash

With the count 10 to against
them, the Sox went mad in the
seventh and drove :ahniser to the
showers. They made six runs

than worry the gentlemen UP on
