vens' article in recent issue. by say
ing that at their headquarters at 1922
Eleventh street are provided special
clinics for white women and girls un-
der the direction Of the most eminent
physicians, surgeons and dentists in
the District of Columbia, any clinic

We regret that ethics of the medical
profession prevent our publishing
names of directors of these clinics. but
gladly say that many of them have
had wide experience in European cities
as we'll as in our country and all Of
them are deeply sympathetic and inter
ested in their profession. Busy as
they are they do not hesitate to devote
certain hours per week to the Wom-
ans Welfare Association. There are
free wards in all hospitals, where
some of our extreme cases are assign
ed by these specialists.
Our dental clinic is absolutely mod
ern and complete and is under the
direction Of one of our city's best
known dentists, assisted by three
others.
We have three consulting surgeons
who are ever ready to help any of
| our most extreme cases requiring surgi-
cal care and our director of internal
| medicine is unerring in his ability to
assign patients having diseases of the
ear, nose and throat. Of the eye or sus-
| picion of cancer, to the specialists in
these diseases.
We invite all working white women

premier pitcher. winner Of two games,
was knocked out Of the box in the first
inning. Washington's pitcher, likewise
winner Of two games. was batted
hard throughout. He should have been
taken out. But he was kept in action.
1t is asserted by critics Of the Wash
overruled judgment. There was un-
deniably q strong feeling of hope that
Johnson, handicapped by a strain and
the WEAKNESS Of pitching three times
in world series, would win his game
and the championship. 1t was not to
be. The charge of sentiment is denied
by the Washington manager. The
fact stands that if Johnson had been
effectively supported he would not
have been beaten.
So goes the world championship
from Washington. 1t has a great ball
team. efficiently managed and capable
in better conditions of maintaining
its standing as the premier of both
leagues. There is bitter disappoint-
ment among the supporters of the
game in the Capital. There is some
criticism. There is even some sus-
picfon, unfortunately given blatant ex-
preston by hard losers. that the game
is not ION the square," that the series
was fixed" the players bought"
This foolish talk, unsupported by the
slightest evidence. is unfortunate. 1t
betrays a complete lack of understand
ing.
In the old days, when Washington
was persistently trailer in the
league races. the hopes Of the local
patrons of the game were sustained
by promises of better things next
year" Now, with the world cham
pionship so gallantly won in 1924 sur.
rendered to a team worthy in every
respect to bear that title, there is the
same promise for 1926. 1t must not be
forgotten in this hour of disappoint-
ment that the Washington team dur
ing the season just closed made a re-
markable race and a gallant winning;
it is still. notwithstanding yesterday IS
