Don1e BushS strategy failed to work
YESTERDAY. After Johnny Burns: a
had beaten the Griffs on. Tuesday,
Bush retaliated by sending Shad Roe,
southpaw. who until recently
labored for Chattanooga OF the South
ern Association. TO She tee to battle
the Macks. Roe was. not Burns. and
Bush's plans fell fiat, In consequence.
the Nationals lost their third straight
game to the Mackmen, l2 to s.,
1t must not be inferred that Roe
was hit hard. On the contrary. he
was not hit at all. What prompted
Bush to remove him. from the affray
was his generosity. After getting by
unscathed in the opening round. Roe
issued six passes and unleashed two
weird pitches ilr the second. giving
the Macks four runs without putting
them to the trouble OF hitting once. =
After the sixth pass Roe was beck
oned benchward- and Warmeth went
TO the rescue. He, too. was a trifie
wild. His two passes to Macks in
the third were turned into runs when
Walker cleared the paths with a
triple. .s>s;<>
The two Mack runs in the sixth can

Against Roe, Mack sent another re-
cruit, a youngster wno has not yet

team. He is, Roy Meeker, Of the. Gas
tonia. club of. the South Atlantic
League, In his first start he turned
back Cleveland, and yesterday beat
the Nationals. 80.
~ -. Grins' Hits Wasted.
He had no right to do it, for the
Griffs fnicked him for fifteen smacks,
most OF which were solid drives.
With these hits were mixed a half
dozen bases on balls. Yet, out OF such
ingredients. the Nationals could
count eRly eight runs. Eight of the
hits and six 5of the runs came in the
last two innings.
Had the Griffs' pitching been any-
thing like that OF the first two days
In Phiiiy. there would have been lit
tie chance for Meeker %g
The. TGriffs tossed away several OBJ
portunities for scoring. In every
inning after the first except the
fifth. they had men left on bases in
addition to those who scored, and in
almost every case these men had ad
vanced as far as third.
Getting the most out of their hits
was the plan of the Athletics. and
they scored four runs without hit
of any kind. In the third they
grabbed three runs on two bing1es.
In the sixth they got two on two, and
in the eighth three on three. THE
fnal l-stAustics were twelve runs off
nine hits. Ten passes, two errors and
two wild pitches explain.

Ty Cobb is collecting 100000 year

offered the Tiger managership three
years ago and declined. to accept the

"Ty Cobb can manage the Detroit

Schang is not the best throwing
catcher in base ball. But he is good
batter-though he has not been going
SO good with the stick this year as in
past seasons-and he is especially
valuable because he can face right
handed pitchers left handed and left
handed pitchers right handed. He has
caught less in 1928 than in previous
years, because of injury. And the
Yanks have been more successful than
ever before. But 1t is not fair to at
tribute that to the absence of Schang.

FACTORIES F D R.
C|TYFAVORED
BY CHAMBER
Organization Holds Growth OF
Washington Would Be
Aided Thereby.

The Washington Chamber or
Commerce will make every effort
to bring about the development OF
Washington's manufacturing inter-
ests, in the belief that such a move
would greatly increase the city
growth. This was decided last
night when the chamber met IN
open meeting at the New Willard
and received committee reports.
Declaring that city which closed
it's doors against manufacturing in
erests would eventually stifle it's
growth. Charles }. stockman, chair
man of the manufacturers commit
tee of the chamber, asserted that
in the committees opinion efforts
should be made to induce legitimate
manufacturing enterprises to locate
In the Capital.
To Keep High Standard.
Speakers emphasized the fact that
the Federal Government employs
a large number in its manufacture
ing plants in the city, and, 1t was
said, private manufacturers Of the
right sort could locate here and
maintain the desirable standard" Of
the Government, both as to the
class of employees and the archi-
tectural structure Of the building.
H. H. Classic and Chaplin Grown,
general counsel for the chamber,
engaged in a debate on the subject,
with Brown assuming that Wash
ington should not encourage manu-
featuring here. Classic said that
many other beautiful cities en-
couraged manufacturing and he
said, "I see no reason why Wash
ington should not do likewise"
Henning Opposes Suffrage.
Assistant Secretary of Labor
Henning, In a short talk, said that
he did not favor suffrage for the
District because the residents OF
the Capital were merely holding
the city in trust for the nation."/
Through Isaac Cans. president Of
the Chamber, Col Arthur S. Randle
offered to donate a site for the
erection of State building by the
forty-eight States. A committee was
appointed to wait on Secretary of
War Weeks and seek to have the
tourist camp in Potomac Park re-
tanned.

quotations have been understood in

The tradesmen for some days have
been eliminating the cumbersome
rows OF ciphers from the price lists
and the sight of the old-fashioned
marks and pfennigs has stimulated
a more cheerful feeling. 1t came as
a sort of revelation, however, TO find
that under the new dispensation GER
tain of the smaller fry among the
