The final defeat in Cleveland, II
to 8, gives the Griffs but two wina
in five games played since coming
West. Four wins between now and
next week, Tuesday. will give the
Capitolians an even break in twelve
games before hiking to Boston.
We are told that the White Sox
are not going any too we'll, but that
remains to be seen. The Griffmen
in the past have not done so we'll
against teams touted as weak. They
have done their best work against
the strongest teams going at top
speed. Therefore, it is to be hoped
that the White Sox pull themselves
together and show championship
form for the next four days.
The Griffs may get one break
here, at that. Urban Faber is
not pitching up to past form. He
has always been a tough custO.
mer for the Griffs to meet, and,
II they can get rid of him, they
are sure to get a lot of conf.
dence. Gorham Leverett is an
other Sox hurler usually effective
against the Washington club, and
he may. be as strong as ever in
this series.
Next Sunday a three-game series
will open for Bush's lads at St.
Louis, this has always been a jirx
town for Washington, and two wins
there will fill our cup to overflow
ing with joy. Urban Shocker Dave
Danforth, and Elam Vangilder are
dored to oppose the Griffs, with
Pruett possibility.
The gang is pulling for warm
weather. such as it was, for in.

warm weather can put the Griffs in
good condition Any more billiards
will set the team back many weeks.
The present lowly berth in the
second division is getting on the
nerves of Manager Bush. His
tongue may be expected to he
come rougher and rougher the
longer the team sticks down in the
ruck. Only first division berth
suits him.
The fiery little manager blew up
with a bang yesterday at Cleveland
and he laced Umpire Dineen. with
ell he had. not forgetting a couple
of his players. Bush hates to lose
any day, but when he sees his team
lose three leads in a single game,
finally dropping the decision alto
gether. he had all the alibi in the
world for exploding. That is what
he saw yesterday.
Thanks to some mediocre hurl.

GIriffs were leading. 5 to 0. when

Take Shawkey. He can 80 out

they pile UP runs for him and win.

Manager Bush for some strange
reason. has been boosting his pitch
ers all spring. He has not exactly
become peeved when they were
criticized, but he has risen 70 their
support. 1t will be interesting to
note how long he maintains this
rose.
Of the six pitchers used against
the Indians. only Allen Russell
looked the part. He is strictly a
relief hurler, and he did fine job
yesterday. He rushed to Mogridge's

Washington. Sept. 22.-The agricul-
tural situation continued to occupy a
major part OF President Coolidge's
attention today. several members OF
congress calling at the White House
to give the president their views on
what should be done for the wheat
farmers In particular.
Representative Anderson OF Mime
sofa laid before the president n plan
for immediate relief that need not
wait on legislation. he said. Ander-
son proposed that the flexible pro
vision Of the tariff law be invoked
TO protect American wheat against
Canadian competition and thereby in
crease the price and stabilize the mar
ket.
According 10 Anderson's calcuIa-
tions. the differential between
Canadian and American wheat ON
the Minneapolis market IL just
about equivalent TO the 30 cents
bushel import duty now imposed.
The flexible tariff provision would
give the president the authority, ON
recommendation Of the tariff com
mission. 10 increase the duty as
much as 80 per cent. or Is cents
bushel. This increase, he believes.
would bring corresponding in
crease In the market price for
American wheat.

Tariff Could Lift Wheat Price,
Congressman Tells White House
President Has Authority to Increase Duty 80 Per
Cent, or Is Cents Per Bushel for Grain,
Minnesotan Says.

Anderson said 1t would not take 10
minutes to put this in effect II the
tariff commission would approve II.
As he left the White House, he said
he was going Immediately before the
tariff commission and urge tariff
raise. He said he did not favor an
extra session nor any congressional
action until there was "A well.defined
program ready TO submit.
American wheat acreage, Anderson
said, is now 100000 acres greater
than in the prewar period. Tho yield.
taking into account the increased do.
nestle consumption through Increased
population. represents potential sur
plus of 100, ,000.0 900 bushels. Until
production is reduced TO domestic re
quirements. there Is not much hope
OF an improved market, he said.
There can be no hope for any in
creased foreign demand with CANADA
and tho Argentine increasing their
output every year, he added.
Anderson estimated that 6b per
cent of the 13 900 900 added wheat
acreage was transferred from corn
That acreage, he said. can go back to
corn. In the far west. he said, the
farmers would turn the surplus wheat
acreage TO sorgh6m and other forage
crops and take up cattle and hog
raising as pfAefiea form OF diver
sIfieation.
