Not even rain for an afternoon or

to slip of. That brand-new smile was
acquired at Philadelphia when Uncle
watched his boys topple the Elephant.
And rain will not erase it because there
will be two off days next week on the
American League schedule. both Of
which can be utilized to continue the
series.
IF the customers refuse to take the
series seriously by not attending in
large numbers, President Harridge
of the American League thinks it i'm
portant enough to be on hand.
Mr.. Harridge has been reading
the New York newspapers: The
Yanks have been intimating In
club house gossip that they are
primed for the Senators. They
expect to shake OF the Griffs in
this series and are going to give
the leaders everything they have.
Joe McCarthy's pitchers are set. His
hitters are ready. But diamond dope
sters believe that all Of this pre-battle
keying up of the Yanks is not going to
do them much good. It Is argued that
the New Workers will go into the fray
pressing They have won but three OF
the 10 games played against the Grifts
this season. And a Gotham team Is not
used to having to press for any one.
So the boys will be likely to do some
costly bobbling if the Senators keep
cool and belt away.
Even Mr. Ben Chapman, the speed
ster. has been threatening to cut loose
in the series and do some base stealing.
It has been said that Ben has been held
back In his speciality for reasons. But
the cover will be off In this series and
Ben can exercise his legs to their full
extent.

"A FTER the tough tussles with the

Yankees. the Nationals will enjoy
a brief respite from league competition
before running into the Red Sox. No
games are booked for next Monday and
Tuesday. Manager Joe Cronin has said
he will have his charges at Griffith
Stadium the second of these days for
a thorough workout. 1t would not do
for the flag-fancying flock to lose its

another free day at the ball yard again
until the early part of September. At
present, the Washington club officials
show no disposition to designate an
other days as ladies' day next week.
The trio of tiltS with the Red SoX
will be nothing to take in stride and
the Nationals certainly will not regard
the series that way. The Beantowners
have actually been tougher for the
Cronin crew this season than have the
Yankees or the Athletics. The Wash
angton club has licked them eight
times, but has dropped five to them.

circuit, only the Tigers have been more
difficult for the league leaders to

CITIZENS ASK ACTION
ON SHANNON REPORT
Columbia Heights Association
Urges Congress to Check Gov
ernment in Business.

Early consideration by Congress of
the recommendations of the Shannon
Committee, which investigated the Gov
ernment competition with private busi-
ness, was asked in a resolution adopted
last night by the Columbia. Heights
Business Mems Association.
Pointing to the report Of the In
vestigating Committee as saying the
Federal Government was in competition
With private business in 232 different
lines, the association requested that
Congress adopt legislation to relieve
private business of such burden"
In another resolution the association
asked that Congress consider legisla-
tion to prohibit the use of Federal or
municipal property or time for selling
any. kind of merchandise by private
individuals, unless such practice was
under an authorized lease or another
form OF compensating agreement.
The resolution contended it was gen
orally known that Government offices,
property and time are used In the SELL
ing Of miscellaneous merchandise by
unlicensed persons in competition with
private business and protested this was
unfair and burdensome to taxpayers.
President A. r. Swan presided at the
meeting, held in the Riggs Bank Build
ing, Fourteenth street and Park road.

DETROIT, February 15.-A move to
throw all the resources of the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation behind
the cities Of the country, many of which
are facing financial collapse because
taxpayers have been unable to pay
their taxes, has been started by Mayor
Frank Murphy Of Detroit, and prom

Mayor Murphy has called national

program, and present it to Congress
More than 80 mayors of leading cities,
including New York, Boston, Cleveland
and Milwaukee, will be present.
Seek Amendment to Act.
The program will be an amendment
to the r. F. G. act, which will authorize
the Government corporation to extend
credit to save" municipal governments

banks, railroads, insurance companies

rates, refunding bonds of cities, tax
anticipation warrants and other mu-
nicipal loans, which so many cities are
now having such trouble marketing be-
cause the strings of credit have been
tight.
'Detroit's financial position is funda-
mentally sound, but like many other
cities 1t Is severely handicapped at the
present time by tax delinquency" Mayor
Murphy said. THE handicap Is the
same as that which made 1t necessary
for the banks to seek r. F. c. aid. The
banks found it difficult to collect on
their loans, and now the cities cannot
collect from those that owe them
money"
Cites Economies by Cities.
"The logical thing to do is to extend
to the cities whose credit has become
impaired some of the credit money
which has piled up in Wall Street by
diverting 1t through the channel of
credit Of the Federal Government
There Is no reason that this should
not be done and every reason that it
should be done. Proper safeguards can
