Estimates Are In

Despite the fact that the
estimates for these improve
mentS are in Griff's desk, the
order to build them is not 60
ing out until Washington is a
mathematical certainty to be
the American League winner
for 1888.
And that is not all of the
evidence available around the
ball park to the effect that the
pennant is conceded to the

self won't say we're in until we
actually are in.
So despite Griff's verbal
stand that he isn't claiming a
thing, everybody around him
is claiming plenty, and ladies
and gentlemen, according to
our way of thinking, you can
go ahead and make your plans
to see a world series right here
in good old Washington.
Incidentally, we believe we
can allay some of the anxiety
hereabouts as to the matter of
getting world series tickets.
A chat we have had with
Mr.. Eynon and Mr.. Griffith
convinces us that a fair and
equitable disposition of the
10000 local reserved seats will
be made, with the regular Gus
toners at the park being borne
in mind.

FOR TENNIS

While the presence of Tony La

The reason for Latona's dis

Manager Cronin and his men

What are their views? How do

scored several timely victories
where possibly they would not
have been registered without
these attributes.
Far From Rosy
There was no more impres"

point, than when Cronin and his
gang last visited here in July. A
tough home stand had just been
finished and the prospects Of
taking a couple" were far from
rosy.
But the dope was conclusively
crossed up when the GrtffS. by
virtue Of some excellent playing,
won not only two games, but
everyone Of the three played, Bob
Burke outpitching Lefty Grove to
win one Of the games, Gen. Alvin
Crowder besting George Earnshaw
to take another. and Earl White

than any of the other fans, since
he fails to mention a single Ma

To be one Of the 10 persons
whom The Washington Times will
favor with a free ticket to the
local World Series, one must send
in a lineup composed Of two pitch
ers and eight other players with a
letter of $50 words or less in
which the writer gives his reasons
for naming the players he likes.
The selections, of course, must
approximate Babe Ruth'S, but the
letter will count for much, too, as
this is not a guessing contest but
a test Of baseball knowledge, skill
and judgment.
Don't Select Ruth
Remebber, Babe Ruth will not

panied by the explanatory letter.

A SoUAW'S MONUMENT

When Sacajawea, Shoshone Indian
woman, aided the Lewis and Clark expedi-
ton by acting as a guide for the intrepid
explorers of the Northwest in 1905, she
never dreamed that her name would be
perpetuated throughout ages to come.
But it will be so perpetuated through
action of the United States Geographic
Board, which has given the name Mount
Sacaiawea to a mountain more than $4,000
feet high, in the Washable National Forest
in Wyoming.
The grave of Sacaiawea is nearby, in
the Indian cemetery at old Fort Washable,
and the headquarters of the remnant of the
once powerful Shoshone tribe is in vii
lage not far away.
While formal recognition of Sacaja-
weas valuable service has been delayed
for century and a quarter, it is good to
know that at last she has been honored in
such fitting manner.

OPPORTUNITY TO THE SOUTH

1t is to be hoped that the American
public will not be blinded to the import
ance and virtues of Latin America be-
cause of its wars and revolutions, and bond
defaults and other unhappy events of the
past few years.
Latin Americas problem, as the
Committee on Inter-American Relations
points out, is neither special nor unusual.
1t is merely indicative of the economic
stress now affecting the entire world.
Latin America is a land dependent for its
livelihood on raw materials-and the
general collapse in raw material prices has
caused it to suffer unprecedented shrink
age in purchasing power.
The Importance of Latin America to
us is this: 1t is an area containing millions
of people, many with high cultural stand
ket for the products of our factories. AS a
consequence, it offers potential employ

advocate further tariff barriers against
Latin American products, would, UNI

Latin America will come back And
if we are wise, we will be ready, when
that happens, to take full advantage of the
tremendous opportunities offered us.

by church board which claims that
prohibition has increased the national
wealth by 72 billion dollars, while The Ma

statistics which indicate that prohibition
has caused a decrease of IT'S billion dol

must be in error, perhaps both.
This recalls story of the late pub

ploy an expert to compile some statistics
