can League race open home

over a stretch of three weeks better
fortified than at any time during the
current campaign to offer proof OF
its inherent strength.
The attraction today will be the
Philadelphia Athletics, who, although
keen disappointment i'll the flag
scramble to date, have more than
fulfilled the preseason hopes OF their
supporters so far as intcr-Club
clashes are concerned by grabbing
five OF their six scttocs with the
Griffmen.
Tomorrow the Boston Red Sox,
who have contrivcd to cop but a
single victory from the Harrismcn
in seven essays, will be here for a
holiday double header, followed by
single tits Tuesday and Wedncs day

Western clubs, each OF which is
scheduled to play four games, will
be inauguratcd Thursday by Dan
Howley's St. Louis entry, which has
divided a pair of pastimcs with the
Mats thus far. Then will come the
Cleveland Indians. also holding an
even split i'll two games with the
Griffs, followed by the Detroit
Tigers, over whom the Harrismen
have a two-to-one game edge, with
the rear of the program being
brought up by the White Sox who
annexed all three OF the frigid
fracases recently staged in Chicago.
With Walter Johnson ready to
contribute his valuable services to
the cause for the first time this year
and a stretch OF good weather in
prospect the Nationals may be ex-
pected to demonstrate to their fol-
lowers just to what extent they are
likely to figure i'll the race that
recently has shown signs of de-
veloping into a two-club affair be-
tween the Yankees and Chisox.

was fractured during practice by a
drive from the bat of Joe Judge.

Rice rapidly is regaining his usual

If Rice gets back and starts ham
mcring the ball in his accustomed
style, with Johnson and Covey dis
playing their wonted effectiveness to
back up the efforts of Horace Liscn-
bee, Hollis Thurston, Fred Mar

gradually should climb above the 500

tary Davis of the war department

eral McCarl for reconsideration of
the ruling which denied army en-
gineers the use of an unallotted bal
ance of S2,000,000 in river and har-

Unless the funds are made avail
able the war secretary said the re-

available for the Mississippi river
commissions use are exhausted
The annual appropriation for river
work, amounting TO S10,000,000, will
not be renewed under normal con-
ditions until the end of the present
fiscal year.
Even if congress should make inn
mediate provision when it assem-.
bles for the urgently needed repair
work, a period of months would
elapse before anything would bt
done. War department official,
said unless il were found possible tC
borrow from the unallottted balance
