The TT. Benning squad came to
washington to play the Marines.
They came here chesty, confident.
resplendent in their past perform,
ances, and they went away from
here disillusioned. badly beaten
team.
TT. BenningS should have come
close to beating Nthose Marines,
Judging solely by the players on
the team. That they did not even
cause the Marines, a first class
worry is due to the fact that the
morale, the esprit de corps. was
low. In other words, the incentive
to win was not oyerpowering, as
1t always is with that Marine team.
At West Point George Smytlhe
and McQuarrie were clothed In
glorious football raiment. There
Is no doubt that they are real
stars. They have been classed
with other West Point iInmortals.
Smythe did not have the fire
and dash, in the game against the
Marines. that characterized his
West Point playing. Neither did
McQuarrie. though he played more
earnestly than did Smythe.
From end to end Of the line. the
FIT. Benning team had material that
was exceptional in its possibilities.
But that line was not anywhere
near the equal OF a second rate
college team.
The Third Corps is in much the
same boat. The Third Corps lost
to Canisius and RucknelI, was tied
by FIT. Benning and defeated King
College. IA to 0. Truly an unirn-
praesive record.
West Point stars fill almost every
position on the Third Corps team.
The team should be able to lick its
weight in wild cats. But It can't.
The reason for the debacle Of the
Third Corps and Fort Benning is
this. Too much dependence IL
placed upon stars. There Is a
tendency to fall back, when pressed,
and let the Individual bacIIGIeid stars
do the work. Such a policy Is all
awry.
On the other side o. the river
are the Marines. They have no
better material than the other
USeSaAAtss hS0t NAACJ lABNGs - .tCuAlti
that rs team lis far superior.
And the reason Is that at QuanticO,
every man has to fight f0r Ills
job. Stars and dIubs alike mix it
up for the right to q cOverted
place ON the squad. !,
McQuade, star at the University
OF Maryland, had to fight and fight
hard to land job on the team. His
well known ability was not enough.
He had to show something. Every
man on the team is a wen oiled cog.
The charging is done as a unit. In
reference Is rapidly formed, and
well taught. Team work is stresse,S
in every Detail. And team work
has built up the morale of the SQUAD
to the point where a. sergeant and
a corporal are two Of the biggest
stars on the team, out.ranking COM,
missioned officers and former col
lege stars, N s"s
Trntif the Third Corps and the
Fort Benning team is imbued with
the. team work shirt, they will
not class with the Marines.

Now for Bucky Harris.

DUCKY HARRIS was the next
N manager named for the
Washington club. Immedi-
ately the smart bdys began. They
we're held up at the start by
Stoney McLinn, of the Curtis
papers in Philadelphia, who inter
viewed Harris in Florida and de-

Harris became Clark Griffith ]

There is a joke in all this. This
writer had opportunities here and
there around the American League
circuit to introduce different base
ball writer's to the Washington
manager and, in almost every
case he had to insist that Harris
was the REAL MANAGER and
that Clark Griffith ives merely
the president of the club. It was
hard to- convince these folks, too,
who had read all the stuff to the
contrary.

Clark Griffith's reputation in
baseball is as old as it is clean,
which covers a great many years.
It was ia surprise, therefore, when
he named George Mcbride to sue
coed him as manager of the
Washington club in 1921. Vet
eran baseball writers refused to
believe the truth of it and in
sisted that, while Mcbride was
the titulaTs manager, Griffith was
the "real manager" They wrote
this and their writings were copied
hither and yon until poor Nc
Bride, q herman if ever there WAS
one, was. worrying about it.
Along came Clyde Milan, an
other herman, succeeding Mcbride.
Again came the tales that he was
but a figurehead and that "Clark
Griffith was the real manager"
This was unfair to Milan, just as
it had been to Mcbride.
One might have assumed that
DOME Bush would not have been
picked as a figurehead, but ap-
parently the smart boys around
the country didn't really know
DOME Bush. They merely thought
they knew. him, so they kept up
the foolish cacophony. He was
Clark Griffith's office boy, which
is the bunk.

 Paris, July T.-premier M ellon Id Of Great Britain informed Premier Herriat today that he would arliye m Paris at { o'clock tomorrow afternoon to confer with him regarding the pro, posed interallied conference at [. n- ion next week,
 The British premier's telegram to this effect took he political world hy surprise. all the more SO in view af the fact that NJ, Herriot has an ap- poiniment for 3'0n D, m, tomorrow to reply to interpellaiions in the senate on the subjects Mir, Macdonald is coming to discuss,
 The French foreign office declined to comment on the sudden decision of Prime Minister Macdonald to come 10 Paris. Officials refused io say whether 1t was on his own initiative or in response to an invitation from his French colleague. The latter sup | position Is regarded in political quar- ters as the more probable since M. | Herriot is the most interested person l in tho incident Of the memorandum which accompanied the British invi- tation 10 the conference, as that inci- dent Is likely 10 bring on an attack l in the senate from the opposition. Government circles have been much exercised as to what might happen In the senate tomorrow. The government organs are particularly severe today on the opposition press which gave publicity to the British memorandum and emphasized the contradiction with i French policy thus far and with French public opinion which the memorandum embodied,
 The opposition newspapers were even more violent today than before in their attacks on Premier Herriots way of dealing with foreign affairs.
 The Echo De Paris, which first Of all called attention to the fact that the 1 British version of the London conference called for partial abandonment of the reparation com mission as the medium for dealing with separations, insists this morning that not only have it's reports regard l ing the memorandum proved correct but that the records of the chequers court conference show that Premier Herriot there accepted a proposal to relieve the commission of the rsponsi | hility of registering an eventual de- i fault by Germany in the execution of

Watckmen Object When
 Robbers Disturb Sleep

Danzig, July 17.--Night watchmen have complained that because of the progressive methods of thieves they cannot sleep properly at night.
 Recently robbers endeavoring to gain entrance to a food store managed to get into the basement and began boring through the wooden floor for the purpose of cutting a panel that would admit their bodies. It happened that the night watchman was asleep on the floor at that particular spot and when his body was pricked by the sharp instrument he set up a cry that aroused all the night watchmen and policemen in the neighborhood.
 The building was quickly sur rounded and the robbers were cap- tured.
 Use of gas from coal for lighting purposes was tested on a large scale 132 years ago this summer, the ex- pertinent being tried In England.

Rancher Silent Witness
 As Deer Engage in Battle

Aturas. Cal, Jan. 2h. -.-J. Gutzman, rsncher, recently WAS eye witness Co 9 spectacle not often seen by human beings. that of a deadly combat be- tween two male deer with their horns intnrlocked.
 Gutzman, who is deaf. came upon the dtielists in a wilderness near here and was within 25 feet of them before ne saw them or they sensed his pres- ence. When the bucks noted the in- truaun, they ceased fighting and scrambled away. their horns still lcceed. to point herdly loo yards distant, where the battle was resumed. Gntzman did not again approach the animals. Instead he notified the game warden, and the next day an investigation vas made. Tho bucks could not be found, but the trail they had left for miles told eloquent iy of the terrific battle. In places the ground was torn ID as if by a ploR and saplings were broken down. At on" point the fettered foes had fallen over CIin i2 feet high.
 The game warden predicted that the final chapter or the episode would iie written when some hunter found two pairs of whitened horns linked together. Such finds are not un- common. an indication that fights be- tween male deer often last until both die of exhaustion or starvation.
