nine consecutive games was blasted
by Barney, Simmons was sent

portunity to say a temporary fare
well to the departing champions.
Another. thing which tickles those
bugs Is the fact that the long sup.
posed jinx which Slim Harriss is
credited with holding over the
Griffithian clan was utterly dis
PEELED. He looked like a high
school pitcher against the batting
and base running of Bucky Harris
crew and some Of the ragged sup
port he received didn't tend to
make him look much better.
A run accrued to Washington in
the second by virtue Of Peck's
single. He went up on Ruel's sacri-
flee, JOhnsOn's single between
Hale and Galloway, sending Peck
to third and scored when Nc.
Nicely forced Johnson.
Another was added in the third
when Goslin smacked a healthy
triple. to the right field wall, and
went across on Judges blow past
Dykes.
The eventful seventh settled all
doubt Of the better team by vir-
tue Of four hits coupled with a
couple of errors that must have
stung Connie Mack to the quick,
Peck again started the trouble In
this inning. He worked on Har-
riss' weakness by. bunting and
beating it out. Ruel did likewise
and when the ball went through
Poole, Peck wound up at third.
Johnson, good old Barney. scored
Peck and sent Ruel to third with
his healthy double. Muddy counted
on McNeely's pretty hit to short,
ana Barney was standing up on
third. Here, Bucky Harris eased
one to Slim Harriss. and Johnson
was run down, meanwhile McNeely
reached third and Bucky second.
McNeely counted when Rice flied
to Simmons. Goslin walked.
Right there Harriss went into a
trance, as the Goose essayed
delay steal and the nervous slim
one heaVed to Poole U1o In t,V,1,
heaved to left field in an effort to
cut off Harris at third. 3v the
time the ball was recovered Harris
and Goslin had registered with
Washington sixth and seventh
runs respectively. That was the
days toll for the gallant Griffs
and the remainder of the game
was merely matter of form.

WARNS TO WATCH
 FOR SHORT MEASURE
Managers of Chain Stores Might Defraud Public in This Way
 Says II. ]. Foley.

Trenton. N, J., Sept. P>--Warn- managers and employees of "chain stores" throughout New Jersey to prevent defrauding of the purchas- ing public through short weight, were sent today to all local weights and measures officials by Superin- tendent J, Harry Foley of the state department of weights and meas ures.
 TO my mind it would not seem as though the chain store systems themselves are at fault" said Foley, "hut that the odium of suspicion must rest upon their managers and it is, therefore, incumbent upon us flo indicate 10 these branch operators that they are under surveillance at .all times and that whenever dis Icrepancies are found they will be prosecuted"
 IOley's attention was directed re- gently. he said, to syndicate stores when he learned that customer had received a four pound bag of sugar for five pound package. This was made possible, he said, through he practice Of chain stores in wrap. ping commodities in various sized packages to expedite delivery and hy placing the different weights of goods in contiguous bins. In the specific case brought 10 his atten- ton, said Mir, Foley, the manager of the store explained that the light or package must have fallen" over into the other bin "hy mistake"
