his starts. Stiff competition devel.
oped in each for second honors, but
the California norman allowed little
trifing with the lead.
The meet was replete with hair
breadth finishes, one of them in wake
of OConnor in the 440. He, however,
was two yards to the good when Capt.
John Hawkins of Princeton and
George Coale of the Navy slapped the
finish almost simultaneously

shot in the first half
As in the game last year. New
York put up a strong defense. and
gave the Midshipmen opposition at all
times.
The Navy won largely through the
fieetness of Albertson, its captain

speed and fine stick work of the
forward line.
Navy was fighting in New York's
territory nearly all the time.

WAYCROSS. Ga, April 3-Bucky
Harris and his Nationals were unable
to exhibit their base ball prowess
here today. and the manager of the
American League champions was not
one whit disappointed. Rain fell here
heavily this morning and so softened
the ball yard that any attempt to
battle with the Rochester Interna-
tionals may have resulted in injury
to the expensive Wa ashington athletes.
At that, Boss Bucky had to wait
until late in the afternoon TO learn
that the game was ca nceled. Al
though he had asked early in the day
that it be called off. the Rochester
officials at that time We're ohdurate.
They insisted a game must be played
or they would claim a forfeit and
make trouble for the big leaguers
with the base bah commissioner
After using almost all the available
gasoline in Waycross in an effort TO
dry the field, however. George Stal.
lings and Norman Hapgood. joint own
erS of the Rochester club. decided no
contest was possible.
Pitchers Get i'm Some Work.
The day was not an entire loss to
the Nationals, though. Harris had
his staff of pitchers at the park in the
afternoon and found some of it dry
enough for use and sent them through
a good warm-up. But with the in
field recently covered with clay so
soft that the players would have
needed stills to keep from being mired,
and the outfieid filled with miniature
lakes, the other athletes had to Idle
around their hotel.
The Nationals were to leave late
tonight for Fort Bennins. where they
are scheduled to encounter the Amer
lean Association Columbus club to-
morrow. But they may be forced 10
do more loaf1ng, for more rain is eX-
pected tomorrow, and Fort Benning
reports today that its field is in any
thing but good condition because of
recent downpours.

PRISON PLATFORM

LONGVIEW, Texas, June 26.-tA1
Attorney General Dan Moody de-
voted more time than he has usually
given TO discussion of the prison
planks of his platform in addressing
an overflow crowd in the district
court room here, Friday night. The
meeting was forced to retreat in
doors by rain. and it progressed
while a heavy downpour fell outside.
Aiming his remarks particularly
at charges of his lack of experience
to manage the state prison system,
he declared he has no intention of
handling il personally, but expects,
if elected to delegate that response
bility to capable persons of tried
ability. In reply to assertions by
James +. Ferguson that the prison
system is making money, Moody de-
clared that it cost SIS a month to
keep n prisoner during 1925 as COM
pared with $33 month during 1924.
Moody was 10 close this weeks
