UTHS ILLNESS BLOW TO YANKS- whit S0x AT TRIBE PARK SATURDAY
Collins Team Coming for Two
Day Stand-Bad Weather Interferes
With Indians Final Training Work.
BY Eddie Ash

With April showers keeping the greensward at Washing
ton Park well soaked with the stuff that makes the corn grow,
the final training grind Of the Indians is more or less at a stand
still. The athletes feel the need of hard work, but there's no way
of lodging the elements, and the boys will have to make the best
of a bad situation.

LOS ANGELES, April 10-Jack Dempseys movie acty-

The champion, after a series of contradictory statements,

FLAG N|SUSED,

CLAIM
District Groups Protest Use
About Presidents Box
at Ball Game

Draping Of the American Flag
around President Coolidge's box nj
Griffith Stadium-its use as q
feston of bunting-has aroused pro.
test among patriotic associations of
the District Of Columbia.
Although no formal protest has
been lodged, either with the White
House or the War Department, the
American Legion and other bodies
interested in the proper display of
the Flag have taken exception to
the use made of the emblem on this
occasion, and, it is understood, have
sent their criticism to Clark Grlff.
18th, president of the ball club.
It was said today that Griffith
discovered, just before President
Coolidge arrived for the opening
game of the season at the local
ball park, that the Presidents no1I
had not been decorated for the
occasion. In haste, Griffith sent
out for a Flag and draped it around
the box in the manner to which
exception has been made.
Neither the White House nor. the
War Department plans to take
any notice Of protests. There is no
Federal statute covering the proper
display of the Flag and the matter
is entirely one of discretion and
right usage.

first advising the commission in
order to obviate any possible criti-

future"
This recalls the action of the COM

stated that the salaries of company

by the commission resulted in salary
reductions Of about $4,000.

results which they are attaining in

The letter further declares that

WORK MAY
SUFFER
DELAY
Behring'S Show Supposed
Foundation for Memorial
Is Only Shell

Work on the Arlington Me-
mortal Bridge may be delayed by
the discovery today that the sup
posed bed rock, lying at depth
Of about forty-four feet below
water level on the bridge site.
Is really a mere shell and that
true bed rock lies at an un-
determined depth below.
Core borings on the site of the
north abutment, taken to deter
that the supposed layer Of bed
rock, it was revealed today, show
that the supposed layer of ged
rock is only a layer of more or
less broken rock, below which is
quick sand and loose gravel.
Efforts to reach the bottom of
the sand and gravel layer so far
have failed, it was stated.
Difficulty Experienced.
Engineers charged with taking
the. borings report that the ground
on which the bridge is to be built
d excessively porous and difficulty
IL experienced in sinking the core
shafts below the bed rock layer be-
cause of continuous cave-ins.
Large pockets Of marsh gas have
been struck beneath the filled land
on the site Of the north abutment
and the engineers exploded pocket
In the last boring taken. When the
shaft on this boring was pulled the
gas, under high pressure. threw q
geyser Of water and mud high into
the air. The gase flowed at high
pressure for more than fifteen
minutes after which the shaft was
fired and the gas at the bottom ex-
ploded.
Owing to the porous and broken
condition of the old marsh bottom
on which the filled ground rests
difficulty has been experienced in
sinking probing shafts which are
drilled by a stream Of water forced
through steel pipe.
Fifth Boring Under Way.
One of the probe shafts, after
striking the marsh bed, refused 10
sink and it was found that the
water was being dissipated SO
rapidly that 1t did not cut. The
water, 1t was found, was sluicing
away through the soft ground and
coming out, through an old core
boring shaft many yards away.
A fifth core boring is now un1er
way on the north abutment in an
effort to strike true bed rock and
q fifth probing is being taken.
River work will begin this week,
the engineers stated.
