Will Ellsworth Vines be the Vines that swept through Wimbledon like cyclone through a movie set? Will Allison and Van Ryn hit the stride that made them champions of the world?

 Tn order to do away with rough work at home plate, President Heydler is thinking about forc- ing the catchers to discard their shin-guards. This. in the opinion of Heydler and ten umpires, will make the catcher more in the way of being spiked when he Is trying to tag a runner and will do away
 with the practice of blocking the | plate.
 This, 1t seems to us, is equal to taking away a soldiers steel hell met on the grounds that, bare- headed, he'll duck into 3 dugout thus lessening his chances of get

scheduled for q week from today, al
though the exact time will depend on
wishes of the admiraPs family
With Admiral Pringle.s death, specu-
lation arises as to who will be Admiral
traits successor as the next chief of
naval operations. Admiral Pratt reaches
the compulsory retirement age of "a
years on February % and, in accord
ance with the new custom, he will be
placed on the retired list by March /.
Frequently mentioned as probable
successors to Admiral Pratt are Vice
Admiral Luke McNamee, commander of
the Battle Force, who assumed that post
on August IL; Vice Admiral William III,
STANDBY, commander of cruisers of the
Scouting Force, U. S. Fleet, and Rear
Admiral David F. Sellers, commander Of
Battleship Division of the Battleships,
Battle Force. All three of these officers
are well known in Washington Ad-
m1ral McNamee served in the Navy De-
partment as director of feet training.
but observers pointed out today that he
has only about two years to serve, and
it is usually the policy of the depart
ment to appoint an officer as chief of
naval operations with more time on the
active list than that. Admiral Standley
served here recently as assistant chief of
naval operations, while Admiral Sellers
was at the department short time ago
as Judge advocate general of the Navy.

Admiral Pratt Sends Message Of Sym
pathy to Mrs. PringIe.

News of the death of Vice Admiral
Joel r. P. Pringle. who assumed duties
as commander Of battleships of the
Battle Force August IL, came as shock
to the Navy Department, which looked
forward to having him as its next chief
of naval operations-the highest rank
ing officer in the Navy-when Admiral
William v. Pratt retfres from that post
on reaching the statutory age of "a
years next February.
Admiral Pratt dispatched to Mrs.
Pringle, at the San Diego Naval Hos
pital, this message of sympathy:
please accept my heartfelt sympathy
for the loss of your husband. Vice
Admiral Pringle. considered him one
OF the most outstanding and efficient
officers in our Navy. The highest po-
sitions in the service he would have
spared. His death means a great loss
to the service"
The Bureau Of Navigation, Navy De-
partment, at the request of Admiral
Pringle's family, issued orders designat-
ing his son-in-law, Lieut.. Comdr. John
D. H. Kane. who was on his staff, to
accompany the body across the count
try to Annapolis.
Burial with full military honors will
take place in the naval cemetery there
unless the family desires to dispense

naval officials will, in all likelihood, at

of hi-jackers and the truck sped by
Men in one Of the hi-jackers' machines
sighted the parked car and fired vol
ley from the submachine gun, but none
Of the bullets took effect
The ignition wires had been torn
from the car in which Williamson and
Bell were riding and they, together
with Reinke and the mechanic, were
prisoners in the cars Of the hijackers,
who held them under cover of drawn
revolvers. Bailey and Dryden started
in pursuit.
Hijackers Free Agents.
A few miles up the road the agents
were freed. Three miles farther the
truck overturned on a sharp curve in
front Of a colored mans farm house.
Using their machine guns to intimidate
the colored man, the hi-Jackers hurried
ly cached the liquor In and about the
house.
Bailey meanwhile reported the hi
lacking to Baltimore and Is agents
were sent to the scene. Only one agent
was left in the city and he was as
signed to guard the liquor stores at
Fort McHenry. State police from Wal
dorf, under Corpl w. B. Hunter, also
County Of1cers G. William Gray and
Harry Morris blocked the Grain High
way-the main road to Baltimore-at
Wells Corner
Although he had been threatened
with death if he disclosed the location
of the liquor, the colored man revealed
where 1t was hidden. All but Al sacks
was recovered. It was reloaded on
another truck and sent to Baltimore.
After finding the overturned truck
Bailey, Dryden and the other agents,
with the reinforcements, launched a
s,6tematic search of the nearby woods
and roads. State police trailed large
car which took back road into Ches-
apeake Beach and learned several men
had been let out of this car at various
points. They arrested one man whom
they claim was let out of the car.
Appear Highly Nervous.
The agents said the hijackers were
very nervous during the hold up. One
theory is that the informer who fur
nished the evidence on which the
seizure was made may have been as
ISOLATED with the hijackers.
The liquor seized Is believed only
part of the cargo Of the yacht. Agents
described it as a drop off" and say it
was landed on the open beach, as there
is no wharf at Drum Point. They be-
heve the liquor was Baltimore mans
share of the ships cargo, the remainder
of which will be taken elsewhere.
Ordinary liquor captured in Southern
Maryland by the agents is taken to
Waldorf and destroyed, but imported
high-grade liquor is sent to Baltimore
and distributed among the hospitals for
medical purposes, 1t was explained.

The post ONCE establishment is not a

women. Two hundred and fifty thou
sand persons are regularly and continu:
ously engaged in handling the United
States mails. and 60 900 others are given
part-time or contract employment by
the Post Office Department. The es-
TEEN and affection in which the Postal
Service Is held by all our citizens is a
deserved tribute to the unfailing fidelity
Of these efficient and honorable public
servants.
Vast Increase in Service.
Since the establishment Of the Post
ONCE Department under President
Washington, the number of post Offices
has increased from rs to 1882; the
number Of postal employees from lib to
more than quarter Of million; the
mileage of post routes from 1000 to
more than a million and a half. and
the postal revenues from $25 900 to
$7Oo 900 900 year. The service must
constantly be enlarged and extended to
satisfy the increasing demands which
are made upon 1t. The Postal Estab-
nshment Is an fundamentally which
exists to serve all the people and which
in its proper sphere should require little
or no support from the public Treasury.
Thirty-two years ago the Post ONCE
Department moved its Offices into the
building which it at present occupies.
In these 80 years the population of the
country has increased by IS per cent.
but the postal business has Increased
sevenfold.
And so today We lay the corner stone
OF the new building which is to house
the executive offices of this enlarged
and growing institution for the next
generation. In the future, as in the
past, the enlargement OF its services
will bring increased abundance to the
commercial, the social and the spiritual
life Of all our citizens.

u. 5. RESTAURANT
REPORT PREPARED
Grant to Answer Queries on
Competition With Private
Business.

Lieut. Col. U. s. Grant. Sd. director OF
public buildings, Is having prepared fol
the special House committee which Is
investigating Government competition
with private business, replies to list
of SO questions regarding the operation
of restaurants, cafeterias or lunch
counters in Government establishments
He expects to be able to make his report
to the House committee by the end OF
this week, but the committee has ad-
journed further hearings here until after
the election and close to the time when
Congress will reassemble.
Presented With Protest.
This QUESTIONABLE was prepared by the
National Restaurant Association, pre-
scented to the investigating committee
during the hearing last Thursday by
Ringgold Hart, attorney for the restaur-
ant men, without being read and
turned over by Chairman Shannon te
Col. Grant while the latter was wit
ness before the committee. 1t Is an am
pliflcation and more detailed inquiry
than the one previously propounded to
Col Grant by representatives of the U
s, Chamber Of Commerce at the behest
of the restaurant association.
Mr.. Hart stated that they had been
unable to get the detailed information
they desired through Col. Grants office
and asked the committee to get it. Col
Grants reply at the hearing last week
was that owing to the economy program
his Office is running short handed and
was busy on official business rather
than answering missionaries for pri-
vate interests and that he would not
object to answering any questions put
by an oficial and authorized Govern
ment agency.
Ordered by Congress.
The Shannon Committee was author
lied by Congress to make the investi-
cation and the committee during the
hearing turned the QUESTIONABLE ovel
to Col. Grant for q reply. He now Is
preparing to make the reply to the
committee as an authorized Govern
ment agency.

HARRISBURG, Pa, September 26.-
Continuing his attack on the elaborate
red tape" Of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, Gov. Clifford Pinchot yes
terday furnished data requested by
that body for "a Of Pennsylvania 81
counties.
Gov. Pinchot, in q letter to AtIee
Pomerene. chairman Of the r. F. c.,
said the information Is necessarily and
inevitably" incorrect. He described the
data as "guesses, made up as best We
cam"
Last Weeks Loans.
Data on Philadelphia, Allegheny and
Northampton Counties supplied two
weekG- ago resulted In a loan last week
of $500 900 to Pennsylvania for those
counties. The r: F. C., in announcing
this loan, said that a further loan to
the State would be made when similar
data was provided for the remaining
counties.
The Governors controversy with the
r. F. c. started two months ago when
Pinchot applied for $45 100000 He
asked that $l0,000,000 be given at once,
with the remaining $35,OOo,000 being
supplied as needed.
l. ne II. r. -. turned GOWN PlnCnOL 5
plea on the grounds that the State had
not done its full share nor exhausted
its resources to help itself. Suisse
quently the Legislature in special ses-
sion enacted a / per cent emergency
sales tax act to provide from $4,000
900 to 100000 for State relief, and
the Governor then renewed his appli-
cation for Federal aid.
Lengthy Statement Issued.
In announcing the $2,500,00O tri-
county loan for Pennsylvania, Chair
man Pomerene issued lengthy state
ment reviewing the controversy between
Pinchot and the r. F. c., and assert
ing that Pinchot alone Of all Governors
seeking loans had not complied with
the boards request for detailed data.
Last Friday Pinchot, commenting on
the loan. described it as a totally
inadequate advance"
Pinchot said his letter today was sent
with the express approval of the State
Emergency Relief Board"
The data supplied by the Governor
comprises figures for each month of
1881 and 1882 to date for each county
showing the number of families needing
relief, the number of homeless persons,
the amount of relief money spent from
private and public funds and the esti-
mated amount of work relief required
for each month during the remainder
Of the year.
