State Department Heads Say Affairs
Not Given to Them.
State Department officials said today
that they knew nothing of the incident
Saturday at Philadelphia when truck
load of liquor destined for the Chilean
embassy was detained by police. They
said that the matter had not been called
to their attention by the Chilean en-
bassy and that their informa ton was
of purely unofficial character. Off
cials of the Chilean embassy expressed
a doubt that the affair will be called
to the attention of the State Depart
ment.
It was recalled, however by American
Government circles that the Treasury
Department instructions to customs au-
thorities issued after the seizure bv
Washington police of a truckload OF
liquors consigned to the Siamese lega-
ton. stipulated that shipments of dip
lomatically immune liquor should enter
only through the port of Baltimore.
1t was explained at that time that
this order was made with a view to
facilitating the transportation of the
liquors from the port of entry to Wash
ington, since all authorities in Balti-
more would know of the necessity OF
allowing the shipments uninterrupted
transit. It was considered apparent to-
day that the Philadelphia police had
not known of the Treasury Depart
ment's orders, which also covered pro-
hibition agents.

BIG TRAIN TO TAKE
RE|NS AGAIN FRIDAY
Walter Johnson, Recovering,
Pays Tribute to Milan for
Teams Work.
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

When the Nationals return from their
invasion of the West and meet the Ath-
letics here Friday in the first of IT
straight games with the league-leading
AS and Yankees, they will be under
the personal direction of Walter john
son, who is rapidly regaining his health,
impaired by severe cold he contracted
in Cleveland.
One week ago today johnson was
conveyed to Emergency Hospital, fol-
lowing an all-night train ride, in weak
and emaciated condition due to an in
lection of the kidneys, a recurrence of
an Ailment he suffered from just year
before, but responded readily to treat
ment and Sunday was permitted to
leave the institution,
Rests In Maryland.
Since then johnson has been at his
home at Alta Vista, Md, near Bethesda,
just "puttering around" as he puts it,
and with plenty of rest and a return of
sunshiny weather is expected to be back
on the job as manager of the Griffmen
the latter part of this week.
Johnson today paid tribute to his
coach and buddy, Clyde Milan, for the
able manner in which the latter has
directed the club during his absence
and expressed the belief the club soon
would strike its true stride and win its
fair share of games.
"Zeb had the boys going at fast
pace there for while" Walter said
today That was tough one TO lose
Sunday, and from the way they were
hitting in the three previous games 1t
looks as if We might climb bit III the
near future.
Expects Team to Climb.
"The team is far stronger than 1t has
appeared to date and when the weather
finally settles and our pitchers get to
functioning properly 1t shouldn't be
long before We are right up there where
We belong.
mo additional changes in the make
up of the club are contemplated at this
time. OF course. I'll have talk with
Milan when he gets back and consider
any recommendations he may make, but
for the present at least, it seems un-
likely there will be any change in the
alignment that calls for Myer at third,
Bluege at second and Cronin at short.
Cronin has been meeting the ball well
recently and has been covering plenty
of ground afield.
We will continue for the present, at
least, using Gooch at first base instead
of Judge when lefthand pitchers oppose
u.s. This youngster has proved he is an
effective batSman against southpawS
and he has earned a thorough trial.
NO there is no progress to report
in the search for an experienced right
hand hitting outfielder, but We are still
looking"
