GOTHAM TRAFFIC HALTED
FOR BASE BALL AUTOS

What thrill members OF the
world series party that included
Jr-dRe Landis and his stnn, the

continues to stand out He walked
up and hit the first ball pitched by
johnson for single. The kid was
not the least nervous. His later three
hits and his aggressiveness around
third were proof of that It must
have been an interesting sight for the
fans to SEQ that lad up there facing
the old master who was a good pitch
er when Lndstrom was born.
The whole bench was delighted at
the way Ross Young finally got in his
stride. Though he did not get so
many hits as some others, he took a
clean cut and hit the ball solidly. One
Of his line drives that Sam Rice
caught was a mighty hard hit ball
That would easily have been a double
had it not gone directly at Rice. In
the field Young showed what great
ball player he really is. His fielding
was fast and his throwing was per-
feet.

ball fans of Washington could not
find a better man to go down with
than the once mighty KanSan, who

Harris Makes B!under.
Count his patience with Johnson for
or against Harris as you will. he
made one other mistake yesterday
that had no extenuating circum
stances. He let Little Muddy Ruel
whose bat has been of no more value
in this series than if he had left ii at
home, go up and dribble n grounder
down to LindStrom at the one stage
of the game where it seemed that
the Senators might be going to stem
the tide that was sweeping them
down to defeat. Muddy not only fail
ed to hit, as he has done every other
tune he mas gone TO the plate. but he
added insult to injury by making the
Slowest journey to first seen in the
series. Lindstrom fumbled the ball
not only once, but twice, and still had
time to throw Rucl out at first by a
full step. Those who had been watch
irg the bali fully expected to see
Euci rounding the bases when Lind
strom finally got his throw away, and
it was with amaZemUnt that they
discovered that nc had negotiated

This was a bad brea K for Washing
ton, but it was no more than Harris
lad coming, unless he is believer

system. in which the player who has
gone hitlesS longest is supposed to be
the one surest to hit. So far as Ruel
and his hitting slump is concerned.
many critics are inclined to think
that Harris would be wise to bench
him and take a chance with Har-
grave. This might weaken the Sena-
, tors slightly on defense, but it cer-
tanly couldn't hurt the offense any

the experience, and while he tried
hard, 1t could be seen that he did not
feel easy in the job. He had many
hard chances to handle, at that.
A feature of this series that has
impressed me is that in all the expert
opinions, spoken or written. I have
seen no one criticize either Of the
catchecs. In fact, Gowdy and Ruel
both have been 50 steady that they
have worked like machines. A lot Of
nice things ought to be said for those
two players. A catcher has little
chance to be spectacular, but if he
goes wrong, he has all the chance in
the world Of getting criticized 1t is

BIRMINGHAM MAN
 IS POISON VICTIM

Despondent, because he had been out of work for six months, W. V. Sweeten, age 53, 1914 Central street, south, com mitted suicide Monday afternoon in the bath room of his home by taking poison, according to Coroner J. D. Russum, who returned a verdict at 9 o'clock Monday night.
 The body was found on the floor of the bath room at 6 o'clock by J. D. Riley and T. R. Murphey, roomers Apparently he had ben dead for several hours. A note in Sweeten's hand writing on piece of cardboard was found in glass on the table. The note was unsigned.
 According to Mrs. Sweeten, her hus- band was a travelling salesman but had been out of work for six months It is believed despondency caused Sweeten to otake his life.
 About a week previous to his death, boarders testified that Sweeten read a story of a suicide and remarked that if he ever ended his life he would do so by taking poison.
 He is survived by his widow, a step son and stepdaughter. Funeral services will be announced later by Johns.

The problem Of providing adequate
school accommodation continues to DO
Of nationwide proportions. An in.
vestigatioR, made recently by the Ma
tional Chamber of Commerce revealed
the fact that. despite recent activities
In erecting new buildings. hundredx
of thousands of children are still on
part time and. consequently. are do
prived Of the full education to which
they are entitled. It was disclosed
that 29S Of the 600 American cities Of
5000 or more population were using
more than 5000 portable buildings, In
which they were housing 121 900 pu-
pills. There were 1900 pupils In
rented dwellings. lofts, stores. ETC.;
5000 in annexes, 5000 In halls and
corridors. 5000 In attics and 81 900 In
basement rooms. The same survey
shows a noticeable tendency In the d.
rection Of larger schoolhouses. After
many years Of wasteful expenditure
on eight-room buildings school author
tiles are beginning to realize that tho
large building In every way Is moro
economical. Modern education de-
mands variety Of equipment such
as is entirely beyond the capacity Of
the small schoolhouse tp supply. Tho
cities are erecting buildings contain
ing "a rooms and more, while the
towns are abandoning small buildings
IA favor Of consolidated schools.

The imposition Of a tax on for
eign words used by Italian hotels and
shops, followed by the attempts Of the
pr0prietors to avoid taxation by trans
lating well-established foreign words
and phrases into Italian equivalents,
has been attended by great confusion.
In many cases there are no italian
equivalents for words like 'bar,"
sport" Coupon" check" "chic,"
garage" and "hotel." As to the last
the italian word "albergo" means the
old-time inn or tavern. The matter has
assumed such a serious aspect at
Milan that the hotelkeepers and shop
keepers have petitioned the govern
ment, with the help of professor Of
languages, suggesting that after a for
eign word has been used for a length
of time in the vernacular It ceases to
be foreign, hence many of the words
taxed should be exempt.
