SUIT ANSWERED
BY LAWYER Of
MRS. MORAN

The following letter has been re-
ceived by The Washington Times
from Charles n. Joyce, attorney for
Mrs. F. 3. Moran. prominent Wash
ington society woman and owner of
the Massachusetts Avenue home
being used as headquarters for Her
bert Hoover:
Editor, Washington Times:
Some time ago the attention of
Mrs. F. B. Moran was called to an
article in your paper setting forth
the information that she had been
the defendant in a suit instituted by
an oil burner company. The notice
In your paper was the only notice
that Mrs. Moran has ever had that
such suit had been filed. She pre-.
sumes that the publicity given the
matter by your / per fully satisfied
the purpose for which the suit was
brought.
1.-THE action was commenced only
because Mrs. Moran insisted that
the oil heater company observe the
terms of its agreement. The heater
company had contracted that the
heater was to be approved by Dis
trict inspector. At the time OF the
filing of the suit this had not been
done.
COmpany's Contract
THE heater company had con-
tracted that the heater must be able
to generate heat up to the full ca
pacity of the hot-water system. No
test had been made of the burners
efficiency at the time when the suit
was brought. Mrs. Moran was act.
ing on the advice of counsel when
she withheld payment until the
terms Of the contract had been per.
formed.
only once before the suit was
brought did the heater company re-
quest an opportunity to test the
burner. It was on a sizzling hot
day when the temperature regis
tered over 80 degrees in the shade.
and the house was filled with deco
rators, who did not especially desire
any further rise in the temperature,
that the heater company proposed
to make q test, in order to ascertain
whether or not their oil burner was
capable of warming the house COM
fortably.
"To this Mrs. Moran demurred,
and suggested a postponement of the
test until the decorators had fin
ished their work, and the weather
was such that the test would not
be meaningless. She followed up
her suggestion by an offer TO pay
one-half of the contract price, and
the rest as soon as a test could be
made and the approval of the Dis
trict inspector obtained. 1t was just
a few days after this that the above
mentioned article appeared in The
Times.
Disregarded Offer
1.-THE conduct of the heater COM
pany in disregarding the very fair
offer of Mrs. Moran, which went
beyond her obligation under her
contract, is apt to lead to disinter-
ested persons surmising that the
heater company was actuated not by
quest for justice.
"On behalf of Mrs. Moran, l
wish to state that no attention
whatever has been paid TO the
suit. But 1t has been left to lie
dormant in the archives of the
Municipal Court, until the time
should arrive, which has already
come to pass. when its maker
should arouse 1t, pay its cost and
dismiss 1t with the opprobrium, that
1t has utterly failed to perform
the service for which it was brought
into being.
(SigneD CHARLES N. JOYCE
Attorney for Mrs. Moran"

D. c. POLO|STS
IN ACTION

The War Whites will clash with
Fort Humphreys this afternoon at
$50 o'clock on the Potomac Park
polo field in a semi-final match of
the annual War Department high
goal tourney. Victory will place
the local riders in the finals with
the Second Corps Area four of
New York. The final match is
slated for Saturday.
The Second Corps Area team
reached the finals yesterday by
jolting the Sixteenth Field Artillery,
1913, although a four-goal handicap
was not needed.
The New Workers saw their
fOur-gOal allowance erased In
the first three chuckkers, the
Artillerymen scoring five mark
ers and taking the lead.
The Second Corps team began a
scoring spree in the fourth period,
crashing through with three goals
and adding four more in the fifth,
with one goal in each of the re-
manning three chuckkers.
Major Cortland Parker, No. 2
man on the defeated four, arose
from a sick bed in a valiant, effort
to help his mates. An injury to
his leg Sunday handicapped him
greatly and the limb was securely
bound before he mounted his pony.

And who, we rise to ask has
better reason?
Consider this: Your Yankees have
just won themselves a worlds cham.
pionship in four straight games
They have set a new worlds record
by winning eight consecutive world
series contests.
They have set record for home
runs in a single series, with nine
blows over the fence and into the
alleys of a subdued st. Louis.
They have stepped into the
largest winners share ever ac-
cumuIated at the bOx-Office since
world series began.
Gosh. what ball club!
George Herman Ruth has set a
new world series batting record.
He has tied his own record of
1926 by pounding out three homers
in single contest.
He has set a record for total
bases with twenty.four bases on
his twelve blows.
He has set a new world series
marker for scoring runs by carrying
no less than nine tallies over the
plate.
Boy, what a man!
Lou Gehrig has tied the home
run record for a world series
by pounding out four hOmers i'm
as many games.
He has smashed to smithereens
the record for runs driven in in a
single worlds series by pounding
nine of the boys home with his wal
lops.
He has established a record for
consecutive hitting by going to bat
eight consecutive times without be-
ing put out.
He has established a worlds rec
ord by hitting three home runs in
as many official trips to the plate.
He has set A record for consecu-
tive bases on balls by walking five
times in a rowland by request.
What boy!
And that's only a starter in
the record accomplishments Of
the gamest, fightingest, ball
club that ever wore big league
spangles. Only a beginning on
the record compiled for little
Miller James Higgins, who
ranks today as the real master
mind of all the masterninds the
game has known.
Small wonder that the boys are
making whoopee.
And that's the outfit that less
than week ago went into a world
series as prime underdogs, crippled
broken. battered, bruised and tooth
less. Its the outfit that looked so
easy to conquer that the Cardinals
almost felt ashamed of themselves
when they stepped out on the
diamond.
What gang!

NAVY TEAM
By Tad

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 1O.-In spite
of a most inauSpicious start, made
up of defeats by Davis and Elkirs
and Boston College, Navy hopes TO
wiE some important games, and rs
putting all it has in its prepare
tons this week for Saturdays game
In Chicago against Notre Dame.
After the Navy's two defeats and
Notre Danes loss to Wisconsin. IL
is certain that both teams are
anxious to make new start by win
ming Saturdays game, so that a
particularly determined struggle Is
promised.
The Nays material this year
Is excellent, and its defeats are
laid to unexpected strength ON
the part of its opponents and
also because the team looked
forward to the NOtre Dame
game as its first big game and
did not make special prepare
tion for the two which pre-
ceded 1t.
A benefit received from the game
Saturday was that a lot of good
material was uncovered. The Sec
ond string played most OF the Sec
ond half and did much better than
the regulars. Several of these
seconds" may appear in the varsity
lineup Saturday.
In the backfield, Castree and
Kohlhas distinguished themselves.
while Crinkely and Bowstrom.
tackles; Swan. guard; Duborg, CEN
ter, and Crane. end, were the lines
men who hooked better than the
regulars in their positions. All OF
these will be given attention during
the week.
1t IL highly probable that Cas-
tree will start the game or play
large part Of 1t. He made
more ground than any other
Navy back during the game and
has all the marks Of a success
full ground gamer.
1t is also probable that
change will be made in the plays
of Russell Lloyd, considered the
Navys backfield star for two sea-
sons. The games this year, as we'll
as those of last season have dem.
onstrated that Lloyd Is not sue"
cess as an end circlers though he
has many qualifications for a back.
1t Is probable that Lloyd will be
worked more on direct plays to the
line. Though very fast, his size
and weight make him a mark for
opposing tacklers. and he does not
appear able to get clear when try
ing the ends.
