Money. Rolling In

Washington got away to q
good financial start, entertain
ing 10000 spectators in the first
two days and with a team that
can do the things it can Is
aimed toward making many a
penny before the current season
is over. You know a team that
is in the pennant running makes
a lot of jack whether it gets
into the series or not, and in
the case of Washington when
it finished second last year, the
boys got several hundred dol
lars each of world series money
without even so much as lifting
a hand.
Good word comes to Owner
Griffith about the prospects OF
his farm in Chattanooga pay
ing off a big share Of the mort
gage this season. On the open
ing day Chattanooga and At
lanta played to 17,112 custom
ers. record for the Southern
Association.
If anybody in the world can
make that Chattanooga team
click, it is Joe Engel, as popu-
lar a fellow as ever dug into
his pants to give a bum a quar-
ter. If Atlanta doesn't watch
Joe, he's going to make Chat
tanooga the Capital Of the
South. Possessing a pleasing
personality and knowing base
ball from the pitchers box out
and he went out Of it more
than once-Engel has a way
with him that makes friends
rapidly. Already he has made
the Lookouts a profitable in
veStment as we'll as training
grounds for the Washington
team, and he's only had one
year in which to show his
caliber there.

And while all this was going
on, Irving Bump Hadley, one
Of the main-stringers of Walter
JohnSon's stable on whom he
is depending for many victories
this year, was holding the Ath-
letics in the hollow of his right
hand. Only four hits were gath
cred off him, and these were
we'll distributed throughout the
game. showing that Hadley was
in difficulty at no time during
the afternoon.
In fact but three Of the Ath-
letics, Dykes, Miller and Coch-
rane, were able to get to Had
ley at all, and that is some
thing to ponder when it is
noted that before the day was
over 16 Mackmen appeared in
the lineup of the visitors.
During their second game of
the season, the Griffmen, re-
vealed themselves as being
quite as formidable as their
fond wishers have been pre-
dieting they would be, and that
is throwing no stones at their
opening effort Tuesday when
they went down fighting after
coming from behind three times.

hand, Capt. Glenn Wright and
Rube Bressler yesterday fell vic
Tins of flu. Without their SER
vices the Robins lost again to
Boston, 9 to 3. Reports we're the
malady is a mild form and pre-
cautions have been taken to pre-
vent the entire squad from falling
before the lethal germs. The loss
of their captain excited the Flat
bush birds so greatly they made
seven errors.

and won from Detroit, 6 to 4,
Gray going the route on the
Brownie mound. Burleigh Grimes
was also right and hurled the st.
Louis Cardinals into their second
straight win, downing the Cincy
Reds 4 to 0.
The Yankees made it duo
from the Boston SOx as Babe
Ruth cracked a fly to right
field, Dickey scoring to take 1t
8 to I. The great man was
angry because under the new
rules he did not get credit for
q sacrifice and was charged
with a time at bat.
Chuck Klein got his third
homer of the season as the Phil
lies turned back the Giants, 10
to 7.
HOrnSby HOmerS
Manager Rogers Hornsby smote
a homer in the fifth to register a
6-to-5 nipping for the Chicago
Cubs over the Pirates.
Fay Thomas, coast pitcher up

It is the present plan to base plane in Seward next summer unless circumstances prevent it, declared Pilot Frank Dorbandt, of the International Airways of Alaska, an overnight business visitor from the Anchorage base.

 AS was stated by The Gateway some days ago, Pilot Dorbandt proposes to fly Father Bernard R. Hubbard into the crater of Aniakchak. next spring. The takeoff will probably be made from the down-river area, possi- bly, Holy Cross.
 Jot BaIToWS, general operation manager Of the company, who also was member of the party arriving yesterday, is remaining over until the next train, it was said. He flew MT. and Mrs. Lowe to Alaska from the States in a Fleetster plane, which IS now in Fairbanks, and which is said to be the last word in airplanes. The craft is said to have cost $35, 1000. It is capable of making top speed of approximately 200 miles an hour; it's cruising speed is l5O miles an hour. The plane will be flown to Seward HI the near future, equipped with pom toons. MT. and Mrs. Lowe, MT. Barrows, and Dorbandt and Cope, are the directors of the company which is now preparing plans toward larger expansion.

 Bu unfortunately, certain politicians are apt to play-sonle are now doing so-upon the generous inn pulses of the public by seeking approval of ladvised and lnsound schemes which are advanced in the hope Gf making political capital for their promoters 1t is perfectly easy for Senator other legislator gain certain amount of publicity and applause through in troducn1g bill for raidng the treasury under the gulse of affording relief for the destitute
 lo carry out their plans, they would not hesitate to hamper the recovery of business and industry by imposing oppressive public burdens which would coun- teract the constructive efforts being made to put more men on the payrols And right now bigger pay rolls affords the most effective and permanent of relief. Given work the public will work out it's own salvation and destiny.
 Our guess up here in Alaska, which is probably as good as anothers is that these same politicians have not hesitated to reflect upon the Red Cross Society," the most capable and effective agency in the world in matters of personal relief Ones personal opinion may differ with that statement but facts authenticate it. Red Cross officials declared the other day that their efforts have been hindered by these attacks of pot clans who want credit for themselves which they seek to obtain by proposing vast government appropriations to be expended under the directions of other political ly-mnded agents.
