HARD FOUGHT
CONTESTS In
BALL GAMES
MkRY SPECTACULAR EXHIBIT.
TIoNs ARE STAGED YES
TERDAY AMONG THE nc
LEAcUERs.

ASSOCIATED PRESS HEAD
QUARTERS. April 22.-Sfx cities
Of the majol- baseball leagues sent
forth tsseir thousands yesterday to
greet their teams for the first time
this year, and there was great
happiness in every contest the
home club won.
Usually at these opening games
there are bands, mayors, soldiers
and usually the home team suf-
fsrs defeat. But this season al
ready has proved unusual in many
ways, even the weather man was
invited TO yesterdays festivities
and he was accompanied by Miss
Spring, who enjoyed the first con-
test the has visited this year.
Ira Flagstead, Of the Boston
Red Sox, added three hts to his
steadily mounting total. Two
doubles and single were his con-
tribution.
Tom Zachary and George Mog-
ridge, former Washington veter-
ana recorded two good pitching
performances. Zachary hurled
for the ST. Louis Browns and gave
them victory over the White Sox
when he allowed only four hits.
Mogridge, performing for the
Braves, granted Philadelphia only
sin.
Eddie Romenl was the mound
hero Of the day with a three-hit
contest against the Senators,
champions Of the American league,
Joe Harris Of the Senator's
Earl Combs and Bob Meusel Of
the Yankees poled out home runs.
ceTslskie started for Washington
against Philadelphia and before
the second inning had ended his
opponents had scored four runs.
Harris drove his homer in the
fourth, but after that Rommel was
invincible. A pinch single, a walk
aud a single by Goose Goslin gave
the Senator's another in the final
inning. The Athletics won FIVE to
two.
For the second time this season
the Browns won a game and fon
the first time their hitters started
70 work. Jacobson's four base
smash was one Of IL safeties reg
istered in a FIVE to one victory
over the White Sox. Urban Fish
er departed in the sixth after al
loving ten hits.
Cleveland encountered Johns Of
Detroit. a recruit who humbled
them last week, and drove him
from the mound. The Indians
made seven doubles in their t2 I'd
3 contest, while Benny Karr linn
tied the opposition to six bingles.
After the Red Sox had driven
Sam Jones from the mound in two
innigs the slugging Yankees stag
ed an attack that would not be
denied and won to S. Hoyt, who
relieved Jones. pitched masterfully
until the ninth, but fast play by
Koenig ended the contest with
Bostonians on the bases.
kimmick, who has replaced the
injured Riconda, did some hitting
for the Phillies, sending out q
double and a triple, but this did
not keep the Braves from winning
2 % /. The verdict was in ques-
ton. however, until Gibson went
into action in the last frame.
Grover Alexander, although hit
rather frequently. piloted the Cubs
70 victory over the Cincinnati
Reds, Z 70 2. Heavy sticking by
Heathcote, Freigau and Grimm
aided him materially.

Mexican School Boy Hurt
While on Way to School

| A Mexican youth, residing in Aqua
Prieta, who is a pupil in the fifth
grade taught by Miss Emily Hamil-
| ton at the Seventh street school, was
seriously injured on his way to
school just after the noon hour Fri
day when he fell upon an iron
fence about which he was playing.
| The accident occurred consider
able distance from the school but
the boy walked several blocks to
the school building although in great
pain and was treated by Mrs. Carl
Hyer, school nurse, and later by Dr.
| z. Causey. He was taken to his
home in a rather serious condition,
one of the prongs of the iron fence
| having showed it's way into the lower
abdominal regions to considerable
extent.
If no complications set in, how
ever, he is expected to recover. AS
far as has been ascertained, the
mishap was entirely the youths own
fault as he was playing on the
fence while returning to school fol-
lowing the noon hour.

MEXICO PLANS
TO CONTINUE
WORK ON ROADS
(By Trens AgencY.)

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 25.-WorE on
the national highway system is to be
continued in spite of any obstacles
which may be encountered according
to a statement made by Alberto J..
PAM, secretary of finance, in the name
of President Gales to the National
Highways commission. The Mexican
highway system when completed will
connect with that in the United States
and will open Mexico as touring field
for motorists in the United States.
President Gales, in view of recon-
mendations made to him by the high
way commission, has authorized the
opening to traffic of the highway be-
tween the national capital and the city
of Puebla, although there is still some
work to be done on the road. The
connecting road to Pachuca, capital of
the state of Hidalgo, was inaugurated
some time ago.
In answer to the president of the
National Highways commission, A.
Madrazo, Secretary PAM said:
II have the honor to answer your
communication of the 18TH inst in
which you, through me, that the presi-
construction work on the Mexico
Puebla highway is sufficiently ad-
vanced so that it can be definitely
opened for traffic throughout its
length, adding that the remaining work
consists only in asphalting the part of
the road which has not been petrolized
and the construction of few bridges,
which are awaiting the termination of
the present rainy season, asking, in
view of the foregoing, the authorization
of the president OF the republic to make
the corresponding declaration.
Having advised the president of
your communication, as well as OF the
work which has been done on that
highway, he has seen tit to convey to
me his authorization to the effect that
it be opened to traffic and has also
commended me to convey to you spe-
cial expression of his pleasure at see
ing the activity ana endeavor of the
national commission as we'll as that OF
all those who nave mad to do with the
construction.
''The president believes that the i'm
portance of this new highway, Joined
to that of Mexico Pachuca, recently in
augurated, constitutes the first stage OF
the road building program which the
federal government proposes to carry
out, wherefore he asks that you make
this known to the public through your
declaration, adding tnat the government
is firmly resolved to carry out it's con-
structive program and to which end it
will spare no effort, counting, as it
has date, with the cooperation of
the Mexican people,
Il renew to you the assurances of
my distinguished consideration"

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
A PUZZLE.


The clam is always well behaved
He gives himself no airs,
He does not try at all to pry
In other folks affairs.
No enmities or grudges serve
To make him grim and bitter,
Yet Fate's decree is that he
Should finish in fritter
A lot, we do not think we'd care
To share.
The crocodile is fierce and mean
His heart is filled with spite,
He searches through the waters blue
For creatures he can bite.
If you should swim within his reach
You swiftly would be sundered,
Yet he lives here upon this sphere
. Until he's past a hundred.
Which gladly either or you
Would do.
The crocodile lives on and on
III hammered and uncOuth;
The clam, whose ways deserve high
praise,
Dies early in his youth.
If virtue is it's own reward
If wrong brings castigation,
These facts I cite, fancy might
Have some good explanation.
Account for them I cannot do,
Can you?
