BUS COLOR O. K. ASKED.
Company Asks Public Opinion or
Use of Two-Tone Brown.

An expression of approval or dis
approval of. the color scheme OF the
new double-deck busses OF the Wash
ington Rapid Transit Co. is being
sought by f. D. Merrill president and
general manager of the company. The
color is a two-tone brown with gold
lettering.
Mr. Merrill explained that the old
double deck busses need repainting and
IL the brown color Of the new busses
pleases the public. the old ones will be
painted to match them. Otherwise
they will be given new coats OF their
present colors, gray with red bands
around the top decks.
ColorS for buSses, Mr.. Merrill
pointed out, should be selected with
two ideas in mind. One of these Is to
look we'll on the streets and the other
is to be sufficiently conspicuous so
they may be seen approaching.

The District Of Columbia De-
partment of the American Legio.l
has taken very kindly toward
the -,ggestion Z made herein
some four or five days ago that
possibly Congress will lend an
attentive ear should the local
veterans become active in behalf
OF boxing for the National
Capital.
We have been informed that
d resolution putting the local
department on record in favor
of q boxing bill for Washington
will be made at the next de-
partment convention to be held
next month. Many Of the local
posts and the department itself
for that matter expressed them
selves last year as desiring
boxing as an outlet for legion
activity, but at that point the
effort ceased.
The history of all legislation
affecting the District of Column
bia shows that sometimes long,
drawn-out campaign in behalf
of this law or that is necessary
before such q law becomes a
matter Of fact.
Washington legionnaires are
therefore prepared this time to
go into this. matter of a boxing
bill for Washington with a re-
newed and determined zest lone
which will be satisfied only
when Congress grants this city
a righs to indulge in d sport
which Is permitted in prac-
tically every province Of the
United States.
Letters are to be written to
members of Congress and .am-
paign data is to be prepared ke-
fore the approaching elections in
an effort to convince the candi-
dates that this corner of the
country desires privilege that
is denied but few centers of our
civilization.
They will be told in no I'M
certain terms that Washington
does not want to be without the
privileges and rights which
citizens Of other units enjoy,
and if our estimation of the
American Legion is correct it
will be a hard band of boys to
give "No!" for an answer.
American Legion posts in
other cities have raised the
major portion of their welfare
and community chesta through
the channel of the squared ring.
The legion has a definite and
fixed responsibility in its re-
spective strongholds, that be-
ing briefly to join all relief and
welfare work to the fullest ex-
tent its funds will permit.
Being a comparatively young
organization, the A m erican
Legion is naturally not a veal
thy one. It is still in It's creep
ing and crawling" days, so to
speak, and this is largely be-
cause it has been more or less
limited through lack of great
budgets with which to operate.
1t never solicits money, in the
true sense of the word, but it
does spend every excess penny
over and above functioning 'ex-
penses toward some worthy
local MISUNDERSTANDING pools

Which bears out q thing John
McGraw told me this spring before
the season opened. II don't know
how the clubs will get away" he
said, ''but before the season is over
that st Louis club will be righ. UP
there. They have good pitching,
good fielding and more hitting
strength than any other club In the
league. You can't keep them
down"
The thing that makes me think
the Cardinals have a good chance
ls the fact that they've been run.
ming up at the top without tie
support Of stick work from some
Of their best hitters.
Neither Hornsby nor BottomIey
are hitting within SO points OF
what they should. II the club can
stay up there now, what will they
do when these fellows start cloIt-
ing?
Over in our own league the
Yankees are a. cinch to win the
penna1lt. A lot OF folks said we
would blow" when we went West.
Wen, we're about through with The
WeSS now and we've got A longer
lead now than we had when we left
home. That's the tip off. of
course, lot OF accidents can hap
pen. But with any sort of breaks
We ought to come through.
And I'm not 50 sure that the
White Sox won't finish in second
place. Eddie Collins has a great
club. II we hadn't piled up such
a Dig lead to start, they might. be
dangerous. And they're still going
to make a lot of trouble. believ
me. Most fans figure the Athletics
are sure to finish one-two. I'm
not. wouldn't be surprised to
see the White Sox beat them out.
I'm still getting a lot of letters
asking me whether / will break
my 1921 hOnne.rtIn record. l.
can't answer that. Pm going to
try. think I've got good
chance, barring injury. But I've
got to figure on a lot of walks,
and you can't hit home runs II
the pitchers won't pitch to you.
one thing, though, will say. I'd
like to bet right now that the Yam.
KEGS as a club will make more
home runs this season than any
club has ever made in the history
Of the game.
Meusel, Lazzeri, Combs, Gehrig,
Collins. every one of the boys are
home-run hitters, and before the
season ends you'll see them pilinR
up a home run record that will
stand for long. long time.
There's whole lot Of benefit in
those home runs. too, aside from
the actual runs they score. They
have a psychological effect on the
team. When pitcher Is facing the
Yankees he can't help but think
about 1t. Aud a guy has an excuse
for being a bit nervous when he
knows that every man that steps
up there to the plate Is apt to
break up the old ball game by
planting one over the fence.
