The Western tour just finished can

four games been rained out. The fact
remains. however, that the club at

the games that went against them.
They simply were not on their toes at

There has been some Improvement
lately. though After dropping five Of
the first six games aged during the
tour, they turned and won three of
the last five. There's some consola-
ton in that for Washington fans.
The trip enhanced the importance
Of Thurston and Lisenbee to the Ma
tional pitching staff. Although both
were licked during the jaunt. their
hurting was of high order and much
more good work may be expected of
them. 1t also revealed that the club
has in Irving Hadley a fine pitching
prospect, even though he had to get
out in the sixth inning at Detroit in

YEST when it seemed the Ma
tionals had bagged a third sue
cessive victory over the Tigers
~ at Detroit yesterday the Bengal
band hared up and with two
out in the ninth put over three
runs to get a Go deadlock. Then
rain came and the game was called,
but it would have been called with
i'm a few minutes anyway despite the
deluge for it had been arranged to
end hostilities not later than 4:55
o'clock, as both contenders had TO
take early trains out of Detroit.
The Nationals had socked the left
handed Earl Whitehill for IL hits and
runs, driving him from the box
in the fifth round when they over
came an early Tiger lead. And they
had pecked away at Sam Gibson for
more hits and 2 more markers,
| Of the latter being Goose GOslin's
fourth homer of the season.
Horace Lisenbee, who went the
route on the slab for the Nationals,
was nicked for two safeties and a
run in the opening inning and four
hits and a tally i'm the fourth. In
the next three frames he yielded three
more clouts without being damaged,
but some weird fielding mixed with
three more safeties netted the Tigers
run in the eighth.
Bad Break i'm the Ninth.
Then came the break against the
Nationals in the ninth in the form
of a homer by Heine Manush. With
one gone in the Tigers last turn
Charley Gehringer batted for Gibson
| and whipped a single to center. Jack
| Warner drew a pass but McManus
whitfield. Manush however, crashed
| the ball against the bleacher wall fOl
a hit long enough to tally his two
teammates.

ADMINISTRATION WORKING
 OUT FARM RELIEF PLAN

Washington, Nov. IF, R)-With the converting of Congress only three weeks away, the Administra- tion is bending every effort to meet the four year old farm relief prob lem but there is no indication yet as to what form it will take, as President Coolidge has not commit- ted himself to any particular plan. Two facts emerge from the conflict of generalization: namely. that the President is unalterably opposed to an equalization fee, of the type of the vetoed McNary-Haugen Bill that the Administration opposed. Also, any attempt to revise the tariff structure by those who contend that this has been a relief to the farmer. will be strenuously oppos- ed. It has been learned that Mir. Coolidge has not completed his study of the farm question, but the President is keeping in touch with the leaders in Congress who are working out the bill.
