"Tris has made a mistake" said a
veteran manager who had been watch
ing the work of the Cleveland team.
HE shouldn't have changed a winning
combination. I never yet have seen
it pay. Let 'em go as long as they
can win, and when they back up. then
1t is time to throw in the reserves.
The shock troops are the boys that al
ways have the other fellows scared"
When Spurgeon was relieved by
Lutzke, the Clevelands had won II
games and lost z. Their percentage
was .632. Now they have barely
$50 percentage, and they have lost
more than double the number of
games that they lost when Spurgeon
was playing, and have won only so
per cent as many.
A Winner Must Be Nursed.
The change from Spurgeon to
Lutzke may not be wholly responsible
for the reversal of form. But every
old manager who has had that win
ming combination" maxim under his
skin is pointing to Speakers luck
right now as the verification of the
truth that you always must nurse
winner and thrash a loser.
Keep a good thing going" said
Frank Chance when he was asked
once why he did not change a player
in center field. II wouldn't substitute
the best man on earth for that chap
right now. We are winning, and the
manager who monkeys with a winner
will get burned worse than the kid
who fools with a gasoline can"
The crowning slap at Cleveland was
the loss Of a double-header to st.
Louis. a team which the Clevelands
had slammed to the turf and mopped
the grass in prior clash.
In the Eastern series Cleveland won
only six games and lost eight. The
showing against New York, the Ath-
letics and Washington was something
like a soggy day without a raincoat
1t had seemed as If Cleveland, with
it's hitters. might slam the East better

Twin Blow by Browns Hurt.
Against the West Cleveland had
won IL games and lost Z, and that,
too, with a fight on hand all Of the
time. For that reason the st. Louis
bomb hit rather hard on those who
figured that eventual rounding to Of
the Cleveland pitchers would put the
team into the thick of the shindy with
a bunch of batters who have been
whaling daylight out of the whole cir
cult, except Washington.
The same old manager, who has
been following all club maneuvers
with the interest that he had when
he was an active fighter himself, di-

Rice's single In the opening inning
was an odd affair. The ball bounded
off the gloved hands Of Harriss and
Galloway before 1t was grabbed Sc
curely by Bishop back Of the middle

In the fourth inning Joe Harris
took two strikes, then watched a cou-
pie of wide pitches go by before polling
the ball into the upper left-field stands
for a homer that gave the Nationals
their first run of the day.
Bluege's single in the fourth was a

charged Jimmy with an error, then re-

fine throw after fielding Miller's
single. Dykes probably would not have
scored from second base on the hit in
the fifth inning. AS it was, Jimmy
was safe on an eyelash decision fol-
lowing Walters relay to Ruel. Then
came a peck of trouble.
Buck Harris, after singing in the
sixth, was trapped off first base, but
when Poole made a wild heave rushed
safely into third.

Dykes socked the fourth homer of
the fray in the eighth inning. There
was a Mackman on second base when
the ball travelled to the lower left

Goslin, after being shifted to left

MUSIC

"Marys Little Lamb" innocent
nursery rhyme that 1t may be, led the
members of the Friday Morning Mu-
sic Club merry frolic, cloaked in the
pianistic idioms- of ten famous com
posers, yesterday morning under the
stafd title Variations" by Edward
Ballantine. AS Mr.. Ballantine Is di-
rector OF music at Harvard University
there seems even less reason to eX-
pect this untlushing frtvoiity and
really alice in Wonderlandish" hu-
NOR, delightful oasis of comedy in
the midst of more serious music.
Mildred kolb SchulZe. talented
young pianist of Washington, played
the Theme and Variations and gra-
ciously told the quaint notes accom-
panying each variation, adding much
to the charm of the whole. Incl
dentally, Mrs. Schuize showed marked
ability In portraying the distinctive
style of each composer borrowed for
the occasion and excellent technique
with smooth trills and ripping glis-
sandos. the latter particularly notice
able in the Liszt variation.
Emily Marsh, lyric soparno, sang a
short group of songs charmingly
Called up at the eleventh hour, due
to the illness of Mrs. William T. Reed
Mrs. Marsh proved herself a poised
singer, capable of filing the emer-
gency. She showed wisdom in choos-
ing short, well written songs that
suited her type of voice and left her
audience wanting more.
Henri Sokoloy, leading young vio-
linist here. who is not often heard In
solo recital, but has become noted
for his fine playing In the National
String Quartet, gave two short groups
of delightful numbers with the skill
and rich tone of a poised musician.
Mrs. Schulze accompanied the singer
and Miss Lucy Brickensteiu was at
the piano for Mr.. Sokoloy.

TREASURY RULING
HIT BY PUBLISHERS
Protest Against Regulation
Defining News Print Paper
Subject of Hearing.

Publishers again have protested
against Treasury regulation defin-
Ing standard news print paper. At a
hearing yesterday before Assistant
Secretary Moss the argument failed,
however, to settle the question, and
another hearing will be held April II.
In a decision handed down in
August, 1923, Secretary Mellon pre-
scribed the standard news print paper
as consisting of mechanically ground
pulp and chemical wood pulp or
sulphite containing not in excess of
80 per cent sulphite and varying in
weight not more than 10 per cent
from 80 pounds per 500 sheets of "a
by SO inches"
Free Entry Was Expected.
This, it was thought at that time,
would permit free entry under the
tariff act for all paper actually used
In publication of newspapers and
compel assessment of duties against
various other forms.
The publishers representatives de-
clared yesterday that the 10 per cent
tolerance from the 32-pound average
was too great, and suggested a limi-
tation of per cent. Treasury Of
ficials, however, were not convinced
that per cent was the correct figure,
and 1T was made known that Mr..
Mellon. after issuing his ruling, had
ordered an investigation by the Bu-
reau Of Standards.
Object to Bureau Report.
The finding of the bureau experts
was said to approximate closely the
content and variable features set out
in the Mellon ruling. The publishers
asserted, however, that greater guam
titles and different kinds of paper
than had been expected were coming
into the country under the ruling

MODERN WARSH|P
TO REPLACE EAGLE
Superior Type of Training
Vessel Allotted to D. c.
Naval Reserves.

A modern United States destroyer
has been ordered to replace the U. S.
Eagle No. Sc as training ship for
the Naval Reserves of the District of
Columbia. Orders were sent by thu
Navy Department today to the COM
mandant of the Philadelphia navy yard
to prepare one of the destroyers now
lying idle in the fresh water basin
there for service here in training the
local reservists aboard modern naval
ship.
1t is planned to use Naval Reserv-
lists aboard destroyers in time of war,
and 1T is understood to be the policy
of the department to assign such
ships for Naval Reserve training so
far as funds will permit. The action
Of the department came as a result
of strenuous efforts of the Naval
Officers Association of the District,
which several months ago presented
petition direct to Secretary Wilbur
to have such a destroyer assigned
here.
When the vessel arrives it will
be the first time that the local Naval
Reserves have had modern ship
here for their exclusive use. The
present Eagle boat was designed for
peculiar duties incident to the last
war and was wholly unsatisfactory
for training the reserves to take their
places with the fleet should there be
another war.
1t is understood that the L. s. S.
Wilkes is the vessel selected to re-
lieve the present training ship, and
that she will arrive here about July
/. The Wilkes is LOO tons displace-
ment, 315 feet long, draws 9 4 feet of
water and makes a speed of 80 knots
with her twin screws. Her arma-
ment consists of four 4-inch so
caliber guns, one 3-inch % caliber
anti-aircraft gun and four 21inch
deck torpedo tubes. Her complement
is officers and 9S men.
Four Cruises I'm View.
Plans had already been made for
the local naval reserves to make four
separate cruises on the eagle boat.
The May. and June cruises, it was an
nounced. will be held as usual. One
OF these is 30-day cruise to the
West Indies, ending at the Virgin Is
lands, and the other d 1b-day cruise
to Bermuda. After July ], il plans
do not go astray, the Wilkes Will
take the local reservists to Halifax.
In addition to this destroyer. which
will probably be assigned here, two
destroyers of the Atlantic fleet will
be assigned TO take such reservists
aboard as are unable to make the
cruises on either the eagle craft or the
Wilkes.
