game showed the Sox up to better
advantage than any game they have
had so far this season. They have
been weak in places but shook them
selves together yesterday and did much
better. The Sox were fast bunch of
ball players last season and now look
as if they will come back strong again
this year.
Officers of Camp Jones who. are in
terested in community athletics are
becoming impatient to see the city
league formed. While there is some
disagreement over the sort of parti-
cipation that the soldier teams should
take in such league it is offered that
one first class team to represent the
camp be entered in the league. With
the All Stars and the White Sox TO
form the backbone of the league, one
army team, team from each smelter
and the Elks team the league would
be set to produce some high class
baseball for the boosters.

FANS BOOST BASEBALL AGAINST
ALL OTHER ATTRACTIONS: GAMES
INDICATE GOOD YEAR FOR SPORT

AS an indication of the support that
baseball may secure from the fans this
season an observer remarked Sunday
that with between 300 and 500 per-
sonsr attending the rodeo at the fair
grounds like number appeared for
two baseball games held on separate
diamonds at the same time
One of these games featured the
White SoX against Company B of the
25th infantry This game was played
on the international field at the south
end Of G avenue. The other game
was between the Douglas All Stars and
the Company d team from Camp
Jones.
The crowds at both games exceeded
200 persons. The All Stars game was
played on the Liberty field west of the
city and between Pirtleville and the
Bisbee highway Both games, were
snappy for early season programs
1t is estimated that when the season
opens and the various teams of the
district are organized in a league with
a game or a double-header every Sun
day afternoon the crowds at the
games should be larger than in past
years if the early season enthusiasm
is an indication.
Company D won from the Stars, 13
to Z. All the players were used in the
game as it was a practice game. The
soldiers got warmed up in the first
inning and put five runs over the
plate to make the Stars tighten up.
After that the game was well played

FAIRFAX, october 24.-Near Wash
ington, inhabited by many persons who
earn their living there and others who
go to the city across the Potomac River
to do most of their buying, Fairfax
County, Va. has special interest for
Washingtonians in this unusual presi-
dental campaign.
Political conditions in the county are
so unusual that close study of the
situation has been made by The Star to
find out what is going on here and
learn the trend of political sentiment at
this time.
Fairfax County is normally Demo-
cratic in national elections, but this
year the result of the voting November
6 seems to be very much in doubt as
between Smith and Hoover. Intensive
campaign work is being done by ad-
herents of both major presidential can
didates, and, of course, there is yet time
to change opinions by arguments and
some other forms of persuasion which
both sides are using.
The doubtfulness of the county is ad-

quarters and Go to Cali
fornia 10 Vote. .

Herbert Hoover will forsake his cam
paign headquarters here on November
and head for sunny California, where
scarcely two weeks hence, he will learn
whether he is to be the next President
of the United States.
Hoover is going to his Pacific Coast
home for the primary purpose of cast
ing his own vote at the polls in Palo
Alto.
VIII Speak i'm st. Louis.
AS an incidental phase" of the
journey, he will make his last appear
ance on the stump as campaign
orator before tkrong of voters in the
Coliseum, at st. Louis. on the evening
of November 2.
Final arrangements for the trip to
the Coast were being worked out to-
day by Hoover and his assistants. 1t
is expected the itinerary will carry the
Republican presidential nominee into
border territory by way of Louisville,
KY. There is a probability he will make
a number of informal platform talks
during the long journey, but these must
of necessity be exceedingly brief, be-
cause of the short time intervening
until election day.
There will be an entire bloc of Hoover
votes from the nominees family alone.
Among those who will scratch the ticket
in favor of the head of the Hoover
family are his wife and two sons, Alan
and Herbert, jr. Herbert already is in
California, while Alan will accompany
his mother and father from Wash
ington.

IMPORTANT STATEMENT
PROMISED LATER TODAY
Utilities Body Reported Ready to
Deny Application, but Mem

The Capital Traction Co. may with

rather than have it formally turned
down by the Public Utilities Comnais-

ing a brief informal conference between
John w. Childress, chairman of the
commission, and John H. Hanna, presi-
dent of the company.
Immediately after the conference, the
commission convened in executive ses-
sion to renew its consideration of the
long-pending higher fare petition which,
1t is understood, it had virtually de-
cided to dismiss. At O'Clock, an hour
later. the commission recessed for lunch
and Chairman Childress indicated that
an important announcement concern
ing the car fare case likely would be
made later this afternoon, following an
other executive meeting of the commits
sion.
While Mr.. Hanna and members of
the commission declined to discuss with
newspaper men the purpose of his visit
to the commission, it was learned from
other sources that it had to do with the
possibility Of Withdrawing the 1o-cent
fare petition.
Considers Bride Order.
The commission also considered at
the meeting the formal order prepared
by Corporation Counsel William w
Bride, its general counsel, which is de-
signed to dismiss the 10-cent fare ap-
plication. This order was submitted to
the commission yesterday after the
commission had previously decided in
formally to deny the street car COM
panieS higher fare.
The order is based on q plan su0-
gested by Corporation Counsel Bride
for disposing of the higher carfare case.
1t involves two steps. The first Is q
denial of q higher fare to the Wash

Electric Co.
Rumors were IN circulation last week
tnat the Capital Traction Co. was
planning to withdraw its application

mission would turn it down.

however, but they are understood to

commission has prolonged its formal
action IN denying the increase.
President Hanna, however, told news
paper men who interviewed him after
his brief conference today with Mr..
ChildreSs that the company had no in
tention OF Withdrawing its application.
Nevertheless this question was discussed
by the commission at the executive
meeting which began as soon as Mr..
Hanna left the District Building.

Democrats in official campaign positions
men well qualified, presumably, to
know what they are talking about.
Publicly these men claim the county for
Smith. Other regular Democrats ad-
NIT openly that there is a chance of
losing the county to Hoover. Re-
publicans and anti-Smith Democrats,
of whom there is apparently a large
number, boldly claim the country for
Hoover
For purposes of comparison it may
be stated that the county voted for
President in 1924 as follows: Davis.
1886; Coolidge, 765; La Toilette, 155.
This year, on account of new voters and
the unprecedented interest in the cam
paign, 1t is expected that there will be a
much larger total vote than in 1924.

The regular, or pro-Smith Democrats,
the anti-Smith, or Hoover Democrats,
and the old-line Republicans are all
well organized in the country and hard
at work. The XII Klux Klan is very
active in Hoovers behalf The religious
issue is paramount, but many voters
are also being influenced by the liquor
issue and other minor questions.

Seventy guests of the Martin Hotel,

rushed to the lobby. The noise, like a
clap of thunder, also awakened guests
at the Hotel Sherman, one block south.
Only recently were repairs made at
the grill of damage done by the pre-

and reiterated today that they believed
a bootlegging war was to blame. Police
fixed damage today at $1,000.

Control of Local Company Is
Object, Preston Says.

That outside interests are making
vigorous attempts to buy Washington
Gas Light Co. stocks in suficient
amounts to gain complete control of the
local utility, was asserted today by Ord
Preston, president of the gas concern,
in answer to questions regarding these
reports, current for some time in finan-
cial circles.
One or more representatives of a New
York brokerage house have been max
ing higher offers for the stock, private
ly, than any bids on the Washington
Stock Exchange.
The New York brokers are under
stood to be seeking the stock for Chi
cago and other Middle Western inter-
ests who have bought utility companies
elsewhere and used them for "Stock
jobbing' rather than making any eff
forts to improve the service.
1T Is true that outside interests are
after the washington Gas Light Co.,
said Mr.. Preston. During the past few
days pressure to secure the stock has
been increased noticeably.
