day and coming from New York, re-
QueSting him to head a Nationwide

a house-to-house canvass.
The message was signed with the

that such campaign would put the
finances of the bonus veterans in Wash

Gen. Butler pointed out that condi-
tions in Washington have altered great
ly since the telegram was sent, and
there now are no longer any boys in
Washington" He said he had no idea
where he might reach Waters to an
swer the telegram.

We admit we don't know the

ment is juicy one with many

in looking forward to the series.
Will the inspired Cubs, still

yond a mathematical chance of
losing out. keep right on plow-
ing along to bury the YankS
under their burrows, the Yanks
being possibly out of stride be-
cause of a couple of weeks of
easy pickings, knowing they had
their flag tucked away in the
bat bag?
Oh, there are a lot of ques-
tions to consider about the
world series, and the above con-
siderations embrace only two
issues. What about the pitch
ers? Which hurlers will carry
the burden of mound RESPONSE
bility for the respective teams?

Crowder made it possible for
his team to keep pace with the
fast-traveling Philadelphia AS by
pitching alright ball while his
mates socked dildebrand, Harder
and Winegarner for nine hits
and 9-to-2 triumph over the
Indians in the second game Of
the scheduled double-header.
This victory, CroWder'S twenty
fourth of the season, and his
twelfth straight, not only enabled
the Griffs to keep pace with the
AS for second place, but it
helped them keep the Indians
far enough away in fourth place
where they won't be so apt to
do any overhauling in the little
matter of grabbing third place
from the Griffs during the next

The General was once again in

Russell, an old jinx, hurled for
Manager Peck and proceeded to
turn in another of his unusual
efforts while his mates socked
Big Fred Marberry hard in the
early innings to win, 7 to 3.
Two runs in the first inning
and five more in the third won
the game for the Tribe. Man
.ager johnson kept Marberry in
the box for the Griffs through
out because the game was lost
after the third and there wasn't
any use of bringing another
pitcher into action with his staff
so small and thoroughly tested.
Early Lead Counts
Marberry blanked the Indians
in excellent fashion after the
third, but this was inconsequential
because the damage had been
done against his offerings earlier
and the game put far beyond
the reach of his teammates.
Even so, Marberry stuck to his
task willingly and showed that
he still is the courageous pitcher
of old regardless of score and
conditions.
The Griffs, by splitting the
double-header, are now four
and one-half games behind the
AS for second place, and three
and one-half ahead of the In
dams for third. Manager John
sons men are hoping they can
do themselves some good in their
series which begins at Boston to-
morrow. At any rate, they're
thankful today that they didn't
lose too much ground while in
