Highlights of a radio discus
sion of the current baseball situ-
alton in Washington made by
the oversigned through Station
WMAL late yesterday afternoon
follow:
1t is a fact that out at Clark
Griffith Stadium, where the Of
fices of the ball club are To-
Gated, there are already thou
sands of world series ticket ap-
plicationS on file.
Perhaps q word of advice as
to getting world series tickets
will be welcome. I advise every
baseball fan who cheriShes a
desire to see Washington in a
world series to get in his request
as soon as possible. There is
little to be lost in writing to the
ball club for your reservations
now, and there is much to be
gained by having your applica-
ton already on hand in case
Dame Fortune smiles upon the
Griffmen this fall.
These requests will be handled
in the order Of their receipt.
If I were you, fans. I would
not be too gluttonouss in my
request. confining my applica-
ton for tickets to two seats as
a rule and to four at the out
side. The ball club realizes it
is easier to make. 10000 fans
happy by setting aside two
tickets each for them than to
make only 10000 fans happy by
giving each of them the refusal
of four tickets. Forty thousand
is about the limit the park will
hold.
The Washington ball club,
which has been making such an
enviahle record, is an entirely
different organization than the
one which the so-called baseball
experts picked to finish seventh
in the current American League
race.
The team is not only a diff
ferent team in personnel, but a
different team in esprit de
corps. was talking over this
change that has come upon our
team, with Babe Ruth week
ago when the Yankees were in
town and I was rather Gliding
the Babe for his selection of
Washington to finish seventh
when he made his annual pre-
dictiOn last March.
But I picked the team the
club had then" said Ruth,
mot the one it has now"
Whereas the club started the
season without capable sub
stituteS-and you all know a
club is only as strong or as
weak as it's reserves-it has
since bolStered It's various de.
partments until it nearly pos
Sesses two first-String men for
almost every position.
I believe that the present
splendid showing Of the ball
club is directly due to two
elements-the reserve material
that has been added in the
persons of Dave Harris and
Art Shires and the fact that
our pitchers have developed
into nine-inning workmen.
A pitching staff that has to
be constantly relieved is al
most as constantly at~the end
Of its rope. 1t is persistently
and tired and the
hurlerS are never completely
rested from their previous at

the 1880 Griffmen, whereas the

My observation, in response
to such a query, is that we are
getting everything this year,
breaks, luck and actual delivery
by the pitchers. Our pitching
staff didn't come anywhere
near expectations a year ago,
while this season the twirlers
have performed more like they
were doped to do year ago.
Too, Walter johnson has q
years experience in handling
men behind him. He needed
last year to learn his job, he
needed last year to familiarize
himself with the difference be-
tween playing with a bunch Of
players, as he did for so many
years, and getting the same
bunch of players to work with
him as their guiding genius.

PAPER LOSS ON
WHEAT is HUGE
Grain Boards Stock Drops
Millions in Value.

BV Sorf5ps-Hoic0rd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. Sept. 26.-With
wheat selling at 1915 cents in the
Chicago market. the federal govern
ment's Grain Sterilization Corpora
ton now has paper loss some
where between thirteen and thirty
million dollars on the wheat It
bought last spring in the hope OF
maintaining a high price level.
The sterilization corporation has
about $500 bushels of wheat. It
bought it in small quantities at
prices ranging from 81 to $1.25, over
a period of five months. At the
smaller purchase price, the paper
loss today is $13,568,750. At the
higher price. it is $29,818,750.
The actual loss, if the corporation
were to liquidate today would be
somewhere between those figures.
However, the corporation has no
intention of liquidating and says it
does not consider that it is in dan
ger of any loss.
1t plans to hold the wheat it has
indefinitely, and hopes that when it
does sell it will be able to get for it
as much as it paid. 1t has no legal
power to destroy or give away or
otherwise dispose Of its wheat to re-
move it from the market.
