PHILADELPHIA, June 20-Bucky
Harris and his troupe are now
done with the Western clubs for
a while, following their defeat by
the Tigers yesterday, to /. To-
day they open a fcur-day visit to
Shibe Park with a doubleheader
against the AS.
Hollis Thurston and Walter john
son are booked to start today's
games here, with Lisenbee per-
forming tomorrow and Crowder on
Wednesday. Howart .Ehmke and
either Jack Quinn or Sam Gray
are expected to do the flinging for
the home boys today.
Johnson has not appeared on the
mound since June 8, when he lost
to George Uhle and the Cleveland
Indians. Manager Harris says he
does not intend pitching the vet
eran exactly in turn, preferring
to pick spots for him and give him
plenty of rest between games.
The final clash with the
Tigers saw plenty of good base
ball, with Ken Holloway out
pitching Bump Hadley all the
way. Charlie Gehringer. the
Tigers second sacker. gave a
brilliant exhibition of fielding,
and so did Bob Reeves.
Holloway gave three hits in the
first two innings and then became
stingier that Old Scrooge. Not
till two were gone in the seventh
did another hit go into the books
for the Griffs, though Hadley had
obtained a useless pass in the third.
The Tiger hurler was pitching air.
tight ball right through the middle
Of that game.
Bob Reeves was again the white
haired boy for the home fans in
that seventh. After Muddy RueI
had splashed a single to center
Bluege took walk and it was UP
to Reeves to do something. He
did, banging a single to right that
scored Ruel with Washington's lone
run of the day. Bluege died trying
to reach third on that blow.
In the eighth Rice and Goslin
singled only to be left and in
the ninth Bluege walked and
Reeves singled but Tate left
them both stranded with q soft
fly to Hellman.
The Tigers staged big frame
in the fourth when Manush and
Fothergill singled, Heilman sacri.
feed, Tavener doubled and Woodall
singled, the collection being good
for three runs, quite enough to
win behind Holloway's smooth pitch
ing.
A pass to Woodall, Holloway's
sacrifice and Warmers merry single
to center gave the Tigers a run
in the seventh and another came
over in the eighth. on singles by
Heilnan and Blue. Tavener's sacri-
flee and a balk by Hadley.

at the Buckwood Inn this morning
to compete in the Buckwood Inn
open championship. With Armour
was Freddy Mcleod, Of the Column
bia Country Club, and "Si' New
ton, who win compete in the -
medal play tournament.
Armour, fresh from his brilliant
triumph at Oal1mont, in reporting
ready for more golf. created no
little excitement among the several
score Of golf enthusiasts who are
here to see the leading players
throughout the country play. y
Almost every professional in the
East is reported to have entered the
tournament this year and the Shaw.
nee tournament is, for that reason,
called the ''little national open," In
many golf circles.
From Washington there will Be
five Of the paid clan to shoot the
picturesque course today and to-
morrow. They are Armour, Nc
Leod, Bob Barnett, of Chevy Chase;
Ralph Beach, Burning Tree, and
Mel Shorey, East Potomac Park.
George ]. Voigt, District amateur
champion. will also compete.
Although the field is somewhat
smaller than in four years, it Is
one Of the strongest, and, with
the exception of Hagen, Barnes
and Sarazen, virtually all the
stars who competed At OaIEmont
are on hand.
Johnny Farrell, who, with Jim
Barnes, il the only one to repeat
here, will attempt to come through
for the third time. Bobby Cruick-
shank, Leo Diegel, Jack Forester,
Emmett French, John Golden, Harry
Hampton, Willie Kline, Joe Kirk
wood, Bob Mcdonald, George Nc
Lean, Wild Bill Melhorn and Joe
Turnesa are among the golfers Of
national fame who will compete.
Armour, with the United States
open safely tucked away, has can
celed his proposed trip to the British
open, and after the Shawnee tourney
will not be seen in competition for
some time. as it is intended that he
will team up with Bobby Cruick-
shank and 90 on an exhibition tour.
The two, who are great pals since
their boyhood days in Edinburgh,
should make a colorful and strong
team. Last winter, paired a. part

President Coolidge feels that while
the question of local contribution in
the Mississippi Valley flood-contrOl
project is inconsequential, so far as
the money is concerned, the principle
involved is important.
The President was represented to
day as feeling that contributions from
the States interested, even on the
small basis recommended by Army
engineers, would insure the desire of
those States to see that the fiood-con-
troll work was carried out efficiently
and economically.
He has received no figures as to
what the probable cost TO the States

been informed by the engineers, how
ever. that this probably would not be
very serious matter so long as ii was
handled locally. If the Federal Gov
eminent were TO undertake to acquire
the lands necessary, the President
feels that it might find them to have
increased in value to marked
degree.
SO far as the proposal in the admin
istration fiood-control plan to reduce
local contributions to the project from
one-third to one-fifth is concerned, the

generous proposal of the kind ever
