Ehmke was beaten by the Griff-

yielded ten hits and eight runs in
six Innings and was relieved by
Bill Pierce. However, that was
three weeks ago. Today he is
quite likely to be much more eff

Sox. He will enter the contest with
all confidence of winning.

would have to fight hard, says
Bucky Harris, ''and that we would
have to win three out Of the four
games. We found ourselves not
mistaken about the need Of fight,
and we still have those three games
to win.

"Of course, a defeat for the Yam.
KEGS cuts the three to two, but we
are still going right along with the
idea that we must win those three
games from the Red Sox before we
can know for certainty that we

nings, but with a warming sun.
The players are delighted with II

John w. Davis today paid his
first visit 70 the National Capital
since the, opening Of his drive to
occupy the White House.

Attacks Foreign Policy.
Fresh from a two-day tour OF his
home State, West Virginia, Davis
marked his arrival in the Capital
with a hot derunciation of the
foreign policies of the Republican
Administrator. He charged Presi-
dent Coolidge with "tip-toeing" in
international affairs, nd declared
that he would conduct a foreign
policy, if elected, which all the world
could "see and hear"
For five long years the world
has been in turmoil, left in the wake
of the great war;" Davis said. ut
was inevitable that disturbances
should come and that the four dread
Horsemen of the Apocalypse would
still rise over the masses Of men
on the blood-soaked fields Of Europe.
And for five long years Europe
has waited and waited, not for
American money, not for American
men, but for nothing more than an
expressive word Of American sym.
pathy and for the aid and assistance
that might come from impartial
American counsel. She waited in
vain, while the Ruhr was invaded,
while Germany was deprived OF
the restoration of her commerce,
while France suffered from unful-
filled hopes, and while the com.
mercc Of the world has been in
Iconfusion and ruin.
Take Credit Now.
Three American gentlemen went
abroad at last, and by their mere
presence showed the first stem to-
ward solution of all these problems.
When they went the White House
said it had nothing to do with them.
The State Department said the same
thing. But now when they come
home with some prospect of sue
cess, they tell you they knew about
1t all the time.
