played in the six days beginning
tomorrow.
The steady work on rough, poor
ly-kept fields, has taken its toll,
| If not always in injuries, at least
in fatigue. The athletes will be
happy, indeed, when they march
out upon the smooth diamond in
Birmingham, their first for the
year.
Tonight Col. William Smith will
escort a squad up to st. Augustine
where on Saturday and Sunday will
come games with the New York
Giants. Only at ST. Augustine are
! Sunday games permitted in Florida,
and goodly crowd is expected.
Next week, the last to be spent
here, viii find the Washing tonians
facing four clubs for the delectation
Of Tampa fans, the Brooklyn Robins
on Monday and the st. Louis Cardi-
nails on the three following days.
That will close the big league stuff
for Tampa fans until next year,

to regain his health and make

his attempt here this spring. Until

an excellent impression upon Man
ager Harris.
I'm sorry to have to send
him back because OF tough luck,

do?" remarked Harris today.

Leo Mangum's immediate future

single.

He was wild and when he did get
the ball over the plate, it was

fellow was the whole show against
the Phillies. Up four times he
took two passes, got single and a
double, stole a base and scored
three of his teams five runs. In
the field he made Joe Judge open
his eyes by his truly clever manner
OF holding down the bag. There is
absolutely no chance for Cullop to
get away from the washington
club as long as he produces as he
has been doing for q week or so.

overproduction of oil in the United
States and the inaccessibility of his

The land Office interpreted Moloney's
allegations as showing that he did
not personally or individually have

FOR TRAVELLERS AID.
Society Optimistic as Second
Day of Drive Brings
Fourth of Quota.

Reporting a grand total Of $5,13S50
to date and a total of $2,so4 for the
second days results, the Travellers
Aid Society campaign moved strongly
toward It's goal of $4,000, at the Sec
ond report meeting yesterday at the
Hotel Burlington. The days work of
the solicitors was the best reported so
far, the women again demonstrating
their ability by increasing their lead
over the men.
Team No. 2, led by Mrs. Herbert
WoolIey, carried high honors, bringing
In $30S; team No. 4, Mrs. Alexander
Columbus, captain, was a close second,
and team No. 3, Mrs. James B. Wool
nough, captain, was third. The next
report meeting will be held at the Bur-
lington at 1890 o'clock Monday, when
Senator Borah will be the principal
speaker.
One fact brought out at the meeting
was that the present total Of $5,138.50
represents the subscriptions of only
about 300 givers, which means that the
citizens Of Washington are making an
average contribution of nearly $40.
Sherard Ewing, general director OF
the National Association Of Travellers
Aid Societies in the United States, the
principal speaker at the second report
meeting, brought out the fact that
Washington was a pivotal city in the
countrywide service, and viewed the
outcome of the drive with optimism.
Arthur c. Moses. president of the
Washington Travellers Aid, praised the
volunteer workers who are giving
their time and said that he hoped the
public would realize how difficult it
was for them to reach every friend of
the Travellers Aid, and that many con-
tributions would be sent direct to
campaign headquarters, 1405 F street.
Invocation was by Rev. George Farm
ham Of the Cleveland Park Congrega-
tional Church.
Today marks the close Of the poster
contest. Designs received up to $40
this afternoon will be considered by
the judges, and all contestants are
advised to send or bring their entries

WAR DEPARTMENT PLANS
AUTOMOTIVE POWER TEST
Study to Determine Extent of Pos
sible Substitution for Horses in
Transportation Service.

Orders have been issued by the War
Department for thorough study to
determine the extent to which auto
motive power should be substituted
for horses aid mules in the transpor-
alton of military ordnance and sup.
plies of all kinds. From several stand
points it Is conceded that such re-
placement seems desirable. For over
seas movements animal transports
are difficult to obtain quickly. The
cost of maintenance throughout the
year of the full allowance of animals
for a given unit can be decreased by
the use Of the reduced amount Of
motor transportation needed for
normal peace-time duty at posts.
While these are the desirable fea'
lures, other important factors enter
into the consideration Of the subject,
such as the nature of probable
theaters of operations, the numbers
and types of commercial vehicles
obtainable without delay in an emer.
gency, types to be used 0ight trucks,
heavy trucks, tractors, trailers) and
the distribution throughout the coun-
try of various makes and types Of
motor vehicles suitable for Army use.
All Of these questions must be given
careful consideration before a conclu-
sion can be reached as to the extent
to which motors can replace animals.
Such study will involve the activ-
tiles Of practically every branch and
service Of the Army and will be com.
mensurate In scope to the investiga.
tions and experiments indicated to be
In progress In some foreign armies.
