PO|NCARE GETSCOOL
HAND IN CHAMBER
Most of Deputies Show Only
Tolerance Toward New
Government.
By the Associated Pres.

PARIS, March 31.-Indications that
Premier Poincare has lost the sym
pathies of many of the majority
ment were seen in the chamber of
deputies today on the occasion of his
declaration OF policy for the recon
stituted cabinet.
He reaffirmed all the policies of
the late government and said French
soldiers would remain in the Ruhr
until France was paid.
There was lack of warmth, with
approval only in rare exceptions. Re
with manifestations of mirth, surprise
compared his declarations with the
claimed
THE premier is all right as a
personnel OF the cabinet, which in
cludes several opponents OF the late
ministry.
@Same Old Policies"
The same old policies. with the
former adversaries of those policies
in the saddle" one in,errupter ex-
statesman, but out of his element as
a POLITICIAN, another cried.
Two deputies applaunded NJ. Poin-
care when. he entered the chamber, a
few more approved his reaffirmation
that French soldiers would remain in
the Ruhr until France was paid and
there was rather sustained effort at
a manifestation by the small republi-
can democratic group at the close.
These were all the marks of en-
courgernent the government received.
InterpeIlations Postponed.
At the premier's request interpret
lations on the declaration were post
poned pending passage of the emeIg-
ency appropriations for the coming
quarter. This was regarded as a
boon to the government, as. in the
atmosphere of the chamber as it was
this morning. the cabinet might have
fallen victim to the indifference of
the premier's former majority, which
now is left TO face the disgruntled
taxpayers in the elections without
the promised official support Old
parliamentarians predict that the
situation will change, however. and
that the government will receive a
majority when the vote is taken, al
thought they say il will evidently be
a vote of Tolerance rathertthan one
of sympathetic approval.

If Bentley happens to have a day
on which his twist is cork
he will have the Nationals breaking
their backs. His style is dangerous
to the Nationals when he is good
himself. If he isn't good he isn't.
That is about all there is to him.
Nehf is the artist of the Giants, a
left-hander who will make the Ma
tionals bend forward to their toes
reaching for his curves. If Nehf is
strong the day he pitches, he will
hold the Washingtons to fewer hits
than Bentley.
McQuillan is the curve pitcher of
the New York team. He and Virgil
Barnes will be the two great benders
against whom Washington must hit
Both Of these young men can pitch
great ball at times. They may be
the stars of the series and they may
be the busts. They are of that breed.
Baldwin is a rugged fellow, who
can fill in and even start a game
Dean is not ready for a world SERIES
Nor are Huntzinger and Maun. Ryan
and Jonnard are the official under
takers for the Giants and will be
seen in action only if some other
pitcher is knocked out or wavers.
They are at their best then.
Evening star., 1924-10-01

The Giants have IL pitchers against
9 for the Nationals, but this is an
instance where plurality doesn't
count. Some of the Giant pitchers
probably never will get a chance ex-
cept in batting practice.
Johnson Easily Is Best.
OF all these pitchers of both teams
there is none who can equal Walter
Johnson in skill, speed, time of serv-
ice, general knowledge and proper
build and delivery. So Johnson may
ton and a very valuable asset, too.
This team of Giants never batted
against Johnson to any extent, but
there have been other Giant teams
who tried their hand against Johnson
in exhibition games and they did not
pummel him, that a good team be-
hind him could not win for him.
1t would be very foolish man who
would say that Johnson can enter
this world series and surely win every
game that he pitches. There is no
certainty to anything in base ball. 1t
is expected, however, that Johnson
will pitch a high-class game against
New York On the whole, Johnson's
pitching performance from the ar
tistic viewpoint should be the best of
the series. He is more a natural
thrower of the ball than any of the
other pitchers.
Mogridge must be very good to go
against the Giants. If he is not,
they will rough him. If his curves
are not responding and if the breaks
start a little against him he will not
finish. He is that type of left-hand-
er who will need every little muscle
in his system responding perfectly to
catch the Giants.
Zachary May Deliver.
Zachary, a somewhat wild, rough
and tumble left-hander, will make the
Giants somewhat wild if he keeps
stout heart and steady head. The
Giants can be made to swing at wide
ones if they think there is nothing
else coming.
Marberry might make the Giants
notice him. He Is the best uncertain
ty of the Washington club. Ogden
would have to be watched very close
ly and Zahniser would be Jared
quickly If he wavered the sixteenth
part of an inch. Martina, the Giants
know; he probably would receive a
warm greeting. If Specie only had
experience the kind of delivery which
he most affects would raise merry
Ned with the Giants, because they do
not like it. Russell would have to be
perfect to beat the Giants.

Collins did not hurry in fielding the
ball, but the Nationals coach had to
stop running and sit down when third
base was reached.
The Red Sox got away to good

tional miscues soon had the game

opening inning and Williams double
with Species wild throw gave the
Hubmen another in the third round
Two hits combined with a pair of
errors and a base on balls in the

runs and practically clinched the
game for them. They enjoyed an
other scoring splurge in the sixth,
though. when five wallops were mix
ed with a brace of hectic heaves,
