THURS TON
WINNER

II Hollis Thurston can continue
to display the form he showed
against the Boston Red Sox in his
exhibition of the season, his Job Is
cinched. All he did was hold those
Sox to four hits and five passes.
Every now and then he caught some
sucker on strikes and at the end
had five such victims in his string.
A changed pitching system IL
responsible for Thurston's return
to the form he showed in his first
year with the White Sox when he
led the league. No longer does
he lay stress upon his half-speed
delivery. Rather does he depend
upon his fast ball, which was espe,
cially good yesterday.
Alone of the Red Sox, Johnny
Tobin hit the ball hard and looked
good against Washington's new
twirler. The others were usually
going through the motions around
the plate.

Telegraphic communications with

town with some semblance of military
order.

NEW YORK, September 10.-War-
time memories were revived today on
the steamship Leviathan, pride of the
American merchant marine, which,
after seizure from Germany during the
war. helped transport 100000 young
Americans to France to fight.
Seventeen hundred doughboys of 10
years ago, bound for the American
Legion convention in Paris, enjoyed
palatial accommodations aboard ship
in contrast to their close quarters in
I917-1S, when 10000 men crowded the
vessel on each trip to France.
Today there was no sailor standing
at their elbows with the constant Iad-
monition, You can't stand there,
soldier" The one-time doughboy-a
little older and stouter-is returning
to France in style.
The wartime note, however, was
not lacking. The Navy, which guided
the boys safely overseas 10 years ago,
again was on the job. Arrangements
were made to have the dirigible Los
Angeles, a Government souvenir of
the war, circle over the ship as 1t

GAMERS REFUTE CRITICISMS
Deny Statements Made in Department
of Labor Women's Bureau Report

Gamers of Delaware were quick to
resent and attempt to refute the
statements made in the report of the
Womens' Bureau of the United States
Department of Labor that poor sani-
tation characterized the canning in
dustry of the State and that unsan-
itary conditions existed among the liv-
ing quarters of workers most of whom
are from the cities and that women
and children worked long hours. There
was feeling among some that out-of-
State Gamers operating in Delaware
might be the guilty ones referred to-.
With the beginning of the tomato and
corn canning season many of the can
ners reported that preparations were
being made to give the best possible
housing accommodations to the work
ers many of whom are women from
the cities who go to the canning in
dustries for the season. Governor
Robinson, upon the strength of the al
legations in the government report,
will confer with DIR. A. 7. Davis, ex-
ecutive secretary of the State Board
of Health. Governor Robinson while
refusing to commit himself, says that
drastic measures will be taken to
eliminate such conditions if they are
found to exist. Inquiry among can
ners in Delaware reveals conditions
are not as bad as reported by the
government report. The Gamers con-
tend that the working buildings are
healthful, sanitary, and that women
workers make as high as So day,
peeling tomatoes. The canneries are
busy now with the tomato rush sea-
son. In lower Delaware, the season
commenced late last week.
