A few days ago you saw q
photograph herein of a telegram
to The Washington Times from
Babe Ruth, lauding the OsSie
Bluege Day, Saturday, September
9 at Griffith Stadium, sponsored
by this newspaper and Of which
Postmaster General James A. Far
ley is chairman.
But today, The Times has a
boost for the Bluege Day which It
believes has a greater kick in it
for most Washingtonians than
even the splendid message wired
by that great man, George Her
man Babe" Ruth.
1t is this:
A letter has arrived from Wal
ter johnson, beloved idol of every
Washington fan. as well as fans
the world over. He puts in a plug
for the premier third-baseman Of
baseball-Oswald Bluege.
"Grandest Thing"
Here is Johnson's letter:
Dear Kirk Miller:
81 cannot find words to ex-
press my true sentiments toward
Ossie BIuege and l think the
day The Times is planning for
him is one of the grandeSt
things that ever happened, not
excepting the big day you news
paper boys in Washington SpOn-
sOred for me.
81 only wish I had a few like
OSsie Bluege on my club and
also, I am very sorry Cleveland
isn't playing in Washington on
BIuege Day, but we'll be there
the day following and am
looking forward to seeing the
stories and pictures and also to
getting the verbal picture from
you. Best of luck to you and
Bluege, as fine a gentleman
and player as baseball ever
bOaSted.
Thanks for your good wishes
for my success. My boys are
rOunding-tO nicely and we'll
give Washington a nip and tuck
battle next year. Sincerely,
WALTER JOHNSON"
Meanwhile the Is committees
working on the collection of small
contributions from fandom, are
vieing for success, and the battle is
a merry one.
Remember, nobody is vieing to
collect large donations. Each is
trying to determine, however, how
many individuals they can get to
contribute something from a
nickel to a quarter.

DECIDED
LEFT|ES CAN
STOP n. !.

Nearing the title Of ex-cham-
pions, the Yankees are victims Of
some shrewd and cunning plotting
of Clark Griffith, president of the
Washington club, and Joe Cronin,
his young manager. Grlff and
Cronin were quite peeved at the
Athletics last season when they
did not offer what the Washing
ton leaders though was the right
amount of resistance to she steam
rolling Yankees.
Washington'S board of strategy
believed the Athletics, with such
sterling southpawS as Grove and
Walberg, with occasional flinging
by Tony Freitas, could throw the
Yankees out of their stride, and
If they did the Senators would be
in q nice spot to rush in and take
the flag.
Well, the AS did none of the
things the Senator's board Of
strategy wanted, so, in the winter
months, Griff talked things over
with Cronin.
"YOu know" said CrOnin, left
handlers can beat the Yankees.
We are strong in right handlers,
but we lack the sOuthpaws to
beat the YankS. Let us get
some sOuthpaw pitching and we
can stop the Yankees next sea-
son."
Griff looked over the list and
he and Cronin decided that
Whitehill was a seasoned cam
paigner worth going after, so
Whitehill was sought and then
Stewart. Those two pitchers, with
the strong mound staff of the
Griffs, were enough to warrant
the belief that Washington could
win If they Joined the team.
Well there was some wire pulling
and the both landed in Washing,
ton uniforms. They have been
two of the biggest reasons why the
dope Of Cronin and Griffith was
o. K.
OF course. Goose Goslin and
Schultz were other factors, but
it was the southpaws who turned
the Yankees back, and that is
what counted most in the rem
nant Splurge Of the Griffs.

sity Law School. George Crawford. col
ored, sentenced Saturday to life i'm
prisonment for the murder Of Mrs
Agnes Boeing Ilsley, has offered to
plead guilty to the murder Of Mrs
Ilsley's maid, Mrs. Nina Buckner, pro-
viding he is assured that the death pen
atty will not be imposed.
Crawford was convicted by q jury at

found beaten to death in cottage on
the Ilsley estate at Middleburg. Va, on
the morning of January 13. 1882

Dean Houston, in a letter today to
Commonwealth Attorney John Gale
her of Loudoun County, trial prose-
cutor. offered to have Crawford enter
a plea of guilty in the Buckner case
and to drop plans for contest in
higher courts over the absence OF col
ored men from the grand jury and
petit jury panels involved in the cases,
if Galleher would recommend and the
court would agree to give Crawford q
life sentence.
The colored attorney told The Star
he had made a verbal offer of similar
nature upon conclusion of the Lees
burg trial. and his letter today merely
was confirmation of the original pro-
poSal.
Expresses Satisfaction.
The letter to Galleher expressed Hous-
tons satisfaction under the present
state of the record" with the verdict
given Crawford and advised the prose
cutor that II assurance is given that
Crawford will not be sentenced to death

yers will do all in their power to aid
the State In locating the Charles john
son" mentioned in CraWford'S confes-
sion as having been the actual slayer.
Dean Houston said he will go to Rich
mond tomorrow to discuss with Craw-
ford the proposal made to the State
and to see II he could learn from the
prisoner something definite in the way
of clue to Johnson's whereabouts
If the State will not give satisfactory
assurance that Crawford's life will be
saved if he pleads guilty, Dean Houston
declared, the defense is ready to pro-
ceed with Crawford's trial on the second
murder charge.
Galleher said he was not prepared to
give a reply to Houston's proposition.

consideration and make known his de-

MARSEILLE, France, December 49,
Four men who had been adrift aboard
their crippled seaplane for more than
20 hours in the stormy Mediterranean
were rescued at dawn today by the
steamer st. Marguerite.
The heavy snowfall which had ham
pered the visibility Of four ships steam
ing blindly around the plane in an
angry sea stopped during the night.
At daybreak the st. Marguerite sight
ed the stricken craft at point about
80 miles south of Marseille.
The cold and weary occupants of the
plane were taken aboard, along with
the mail carried, and the ship steamed
for Dizerta, Africa.
The plane was abandoned.
All through Sunday and during the
night ships carried on fruitless search
for the plane, whose frantic S o S

1t was forced down.
The three members of the planes
crew and their passenger, all French
men, hoped from Marseille on the reg

Now Have Cold Respect.
The warm personal admiration OF the
Congressman has changed to cold po-
litical respect during the recess. There
is rather general feeling that this is

believable mass of specific objections

They can get more votes for that than
anything else. They may get a ma
jority. If SO, Mr.. Roosevelt will veto
their bill and they cannot muster two
thirds to pass it over a veto.
They probably cannot even get a ma
jority for greenbackS. The Democrats
already are beginning to whisper:
Stand by the President" The con-
servative Republicans will have to stand
with him against any radical money
measures. The inf1ationists will be left
m the cold.
The only item in the infiationist pro-
