Yankees played an exhibition contest
here yesterday for the benefit of the
American Legion, the Orioles win

gle. Ogden held the world champions

And then what happened? The Ty-
gers went home and took three out of
four from Boston divided four games
with New York. divided four with
Philadelphia-and lost three out of
four to Washington. That was exact
ly an even break on the home
grounds. That kind of base ball does
not win championships. even when
championships are to be had for $50
in the percentage column.
Detroit then came East again. Stop
ping first at Philadelphia they won
two and lost two. Then they moved
on to Washington and lost four out
of five. That made Washington's
score against Detroit to for the
two series. Who was it said Wash
ington could not win the pennant be-
cause it was inferior to Detroit? On
the season the Washington-De Detroit
score of games is 13 to 6.
All Helps New York.
OF course. this is all pie for New
York, which can think of nothing
nicer than to have Washington whale
Detroit off the map. 1t makes the
fight that much easier for the Yanks.
They have one club to thrash instead
Of two.
The marvel of it is that Detroit
mas been able to stick up where 1T
has. The team has been playing base
ball at the rate of 440 in six success
sive series. Ordinarily that would
put a club in the second division.
II it continues to play that way,
Detroit has no more chance of win
ming a pennant than Cleveland.
The Tigers have got to get together
and get together with extreme sud-
denness and tremendous tenacity If
they are to win any flag from New
York. Their great tumble was on
their own field where they should
have played 667 ball instead of 500.
Washington, 1t will be observed. is
the club that has played the most
mischief with the Tigers. The Ma

TWO STORES BURN
 AT FORT DEPOSIT
Heroic Work Required To Save Main Business
 Block

FORT DEPOSIT, Ala, July 16.- Special "A disastrous fire occurred here last night short while before midnight when the Tillery building owned and operated as a store by O. c. Conway, also warehouse owned by J. NJ. Black and used by l.. $. Golson & Son, together with their entire con. tents were totally destroyed by fire It is reported that the fire originated in the interior of the Conway store and ewhen discovered had gained such headway it was impossible to extinguish the flames or save any of the contents of either building.
 The warehouse adjoining the store building was total loss, as no insur- ance was carried on the building or contents. Mir. Golson had between $500 and $1,000 worth of feedstuff stored in the warehouse. It is understood that Mir. Conway carried insurance on both the storehouse and stock of merchan- disc.
 These buildings destroyed by fire were in such close proximity to the main block of stores here that it re- quired heroic work of the citizens of Forst Deposit. ably assisted by about 30 members of the degree team of the Woodmen camp of Greenville, who were visitors here, to confine the flames to the burnt area.
 Crop Looks GOOd-The local show CTS which have fallen here within the past few days came just in time to save the old corn, and was considered quite benefit to the cotton, which promises, with favorable weather for the next 30 days, to make a normal crop.

 BIG PRODUCTION
Play Based On Boys Am. bition To Star In
 Movies

Something almost everybody has dreamed about doing is the theme of the comedy triumph at the Jefferson The atre this week Merton of the Movies, which is far and away one of the best productions the All-Star Players have yet presented to the delight of theater- goers.
 This famous Harry Leon Wilson comedy with it's tinge of perfect satire is playing Birmingham before it has been seen outside of New York and Chicago. 1t is such big production from q scenic standpoint and requires such large cast of capable actors that only as fine a company as the All-Star Jefferson Players is able to stage it.
 Next week one of the favorite of all farces, presented by special request, will be offered theatergoers. It is "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath," perfectly hilari- ous comedy about newlyweds and friends eager to be of assistance. Miss Kathleen Comegys has the leading role and theaterg0ers will have another op- portunity to see Selmer Jackson as the leading man, Mir. Jackson having just returned after an absence of two weeks.

COASTWISE LAWS ARE ENDANGERED
 SAYS SHIP BOARD
Hostile Foreign Interests Backing Move, Memo
 randum Charges
tBy Associated Press. !

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Charges that hostile foreign interests under the guise of opposition to flag discrimina- tion, are moving to attack and ulti- mately destroy the coastwise laws of the United States" are ma le in a mem orandum address to Secretary Hoover and made public today by the Shipping Board.
 The memorandum prepared by Vice Chairman Hummer was forwarded by the board in connection wit'l the sail ing over week ago of the Lamport and Holt steamer Voltair9 flo Phil adelphia to Halifax, N. $. and St. Johns, N. r. with $50 Pc nsyiYania members of the order of Elks. Instead of proceeding direct to its destination, the Voltaire, it is alleged, dropped its passengers, who were delegates to the Elks' convention in Boston for five days in that city, and then proceeded on it's trip to Halifax and St. Johns.
 Have Improved Fine
 Customs authorities at Boston since have fined the Lamport and Holt line $110,000 or $200 a passenger, for al- legged violation of American shipping laws excluding foreign flag vessels from coastwise trade. The department of commerce, it is understood to consider the case settled unless the British line appeals cases
 The memorandum written before the Voltaire sailed declared the board had been informed that the ship was pre- pairing to take aboard at Philadelphia large party of Elks ito land them in Boston," At the conclusion of the con vention there, the memorandum said, she was to proceed to Halifax and St. Johnson and "enroute on her return to land the party of Elks again at Phil adelphia the pretense being that this is really a trip from Philadelphia to Halifax and St. Johns with no real landing of passengers in Boston,
 A "Subterfuge"
 "Of course" the memorandum added. 'the subterfuge of touching at the Brit lsh ports of Halifax and St. Johns makes this none the less viola tion of the coastwise laws of the United States which the Department of Commerce is charged to enforce"
 Under the guise of opposition to flag discrimination" the memorandum continued, there is abundant evidence that hostile foreign interests are nov ing to attack and ultimately destroy the coastwise laws of the United States. That the present British and continental movement against flag discrimination includes a systematic effort to force the repeal and abandon lnent of the coastwise policy of this na- ton, was openly proclaimed by the president of the Liverpool Shipowners' Association in his formal address at the recent annual meeting of that as- sociation. The Lamport and Holt liner Voltaire is owned by one of the mem Der companies of the Liverpool Steam ship Owners Association"
