NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-According
to Business Manager Ed Barrow,
peace had been restored today in
the ranks of the New York Yankees,
following the alteration in Balti-
more yesterday between Babe Ruth
and Mark Koenig, the young short
stop. Barrow said the trouble had
arisen from a trivial cause and that
both players had decided to forget
the incident.
However, those close to the
Yankees insisted that the fight,
which took place on the Yankee
bench. during an exhibition game
with the Orioles, was the climax of
an animosity that had existed for
some weeks. Ruth, it was said,
became indignant at Koenig for al
legged loafing on several plays and
charged that the shortstop had pre-
vented the Yankees from catching
an early train.
Koenig leaped at Ruth and aimed
several blows at his head but the
home run hitter eontented himself
with holding Koenig's arms. The
shortstop then was escorted from
the field

Argyle reversed the usual order

Phoenix. Ariz., July 5-Actual

the approval Of the president,
telegram received here today from
Senator Ralph h. Cameron states.
information received here a few
days ago from Senator Cameron
advised that the Steinfeld tract
at Tucson would be accepted by
the United States veterans bu-
reau Tor the site of the institu-
tion and that it was probable con-
struction work would begin soon.
This news was sent from Washing
ton Immediately after the senator
had come from a conference with
Gen. Frank 7. Hines, director of
the bureau.
It is understood that under the
provisions of the World War
veterans statutes, the director of
the veterans bureau may build
q hospital whenever the necessity
arises, on the conditions that the
project receives the approval of
the president and that the pro-
posed expenditure is within the
limits of the current appropria-
tions to the bureau.
Present plans of the veterans
for the hospital at Tucson con-
template an institution sufficient
ly large to accommodate hospital
buildings a recreation building,
officers and nurses STARTERS, a
power plant, warehouses, garages
and other necessary structures.
The institution will be of spe.
cial design, the result Of studies
made by the bureau in past years
to determine best conditions for

ent cases of tuberculosis.

tersections and the elimination OF
railroad grade crossings appear as
the answer to congestion on all

Of population.
Already many states, counties
and cities realize this fact and are
making or planning these improve

proper traffic management during
the greatest one-day motor car
pilgrimage on record sounds again
the death note of narrow, in
