However, the thing works out ex-

huzzas after this crack, but it is
true just the same. Mack wanted

While Clark Griffith has been

Connie Mack has obtained for his
Athletics both a second baseman and

Carl Mays has been sold by the
New York Yankees to the Gin

Manager Pat Moran, all smiles,

It's All Settled.
r INTERIOR has a rightful claim
on the District sandlot foot
ball title, whatever that may
be. First, before much was known
of the team, it defeated the Mo-
hawks. Then, after the Mohawks
had whipped Mercury, it horned
in on a game with Mercury and
won. In as much as both the Mo-
hawks and the Mercurys claimed
their own battle was for the
championship of the District
sandlotters, neither can have much
to say about the title now. It
fairly belongs to Interior.
Will somebody step forward and
tell something about the Interior
Departments football eleven:
Who is DR.. Abraham Depue
Butt, the alleged manager Of the
team?
What connection has he with
the Interior Department?
Have all the members of the
Interior football team been en-
ployed in the Interior Depart
ment? If SO, for how long?
Who gave them the authority
to use the name Of the Interior
Department of the United States
Government?
Under what conditions did the
Interior eleven arrange their
game with the Tank Corps eleven
from Camp Meade?
Nevertheless, and notwithstand-
ing, the Interior team certainly
knocked into a cooked hat all pre-
tensions of the Mohawks and the
Mercurys to sandlot glories for
the football season of 1923.
