FOLLOWING their current fling

base ball squad. Clark Grtfnth. the
Washington club president, plans TO
provide Manager Joe Cronin with .
flock Of youngsters TO be looked over
during the Western swing.
Grifnth has been quietly corraling
pitchers, catchers and fielderS here
and there the past month, he admits,
and hopes to have some of them re-
port to his club next week at st.
Louis, where the Nationals will begin
their final invasion of the leagues in

says this right-hander is q strapping

Earl Whitehill had plenty uu his

were concerned. He struck out seven

As they triumphed to take the
series. four games to one, and fun
possession of the fifth berth they had
shared with the Nationals, the st.
Louis slammers sliced 13 safeties on
the Earl. Three times they punched
blows effectively, first to get q lead,
next to tie and then to win.

DUT for the poor fielding done by
ID the Browns, the Nationals never
would have been in the game.
Only six hits were made by the
home side of Dick Coffmans de-

four misplays and three contributed
materially to the Washington sccr-
ing.
A pass to susko was followed by
Kerr's sacrifice and two errors to
give the Nationals a. marker in the

- CHOOLBOY ROWE missed
his mark and by his failure
y, to set a new American
- League pitching record of
II consecutive victories perhaps
the Tigers are better off.
That homer Pinkey Higgins rif1ed
into the left-field stand in Phila-
delphia yesterday to give the Ath-
letics lead the Tigers couldn't over
haul must have been a stunning
blow to the young moundsman. The
drive carried with it all fond hope
Schoolboy had of not only eStab-
fishing a new record for his circuit,
but also Of carrying on to an all
major mark.
Yet it relieved the pressure
under which Rowe was strug-
Cling, a pressure that might
easily have reduced his pitch
ing value to his club even had
he reached his goal.
The Tigers, striving to get Detroit
its first pennant in 25 years, still are
in need of all the good pitching they
can muster. Though five games
ahead of the runner-up Yankees to-
day, they aren't on easy street. They
can use a Rowe at his best, some
thing he wasn't when he pitched here
last Saturday to tie the American
League. record that only johnson,
Wood and Grove had shared.
Rowe's Heart Should Tell.
a FTER yesterdays crushing defeat,
IA Schoolboy may find it difficult
to regain his poise for game or
two. This would be only natural. A
ball club, once long winning string
is snapped, usually goes down to de-
feat two or three times before it
swings back into a victorious stride
So it has been with winning pitchers
In the past.
Rowe has a great heart. 1t was
that heart more than anything else
that got him over last week when
the Nationals came within an ace of
keeping the towering Tiger from a
record tie.
Once his normal self again,
SchoolbOy probably will round
out the season with his finest
fiinging ever. He's not of the
stuff that takes a beating and
quits.
After all, in swinging along to 16
wins in a row, the tall native Of
Texas-Rowe is an Arkansan by adop-
ton only-has a record unique for
pitcher serving only his second
season in the big show. Wood was
up for the fifth season and johnson
for the sixth when they set such a
swift pace. Grove was in his Sev-
enth major campaign.
! The 22year-old Schoolboy has many
seasons ahead in which to add to
his laurels.

The depression, which brought
lower prices and a slump in trade,
was blessing in disguise for the
plant-gathering industry in the
North Caorlina mountains.
Valuable wild plants. medicinal
and decorative, would be on the
verge of extinction, say foresters
and herb dealers, were it not that
the unfavorable economic trend
gave nature a chance to replenish
her supplies.
The industry is important back

TRADE WAR GAIN
AGAINST BRITAIN
VIEWED BY JAPAN
STATISTICS PUBLISHED BY
ASSOCIATION SUPPORT
CONTENTION PERTAINING
TO MATTER


OSAKA, Japan, July 12.-Msy,
the month in which Great Britain
imposed quota restrictions on
japanese textile imports into the
United Kingdom and British
colonies, saw Nippon's cotton
goods set new high record.
Statistics published by the Jap
hn Cotton Spinner's Association
support the Japanese contention
that they have wrested from Brit
ain her century-old leadership in
cotton textiles exports, for gem
'erations the first staple of world
commerce.
Nippon Wins First Clash
Thus the advantage in the first
phase of the Anglo-Japanese trade
war inaugurated by Walter Run
cimsm's quota announcements, is
claimed by Japan.
In May the Japanese cotton in
dustry exported 65,623, 900
square yards valued at $14,55O,-
600, surprising the previous high
mark of March, 1884, by 42,OOO,-
000 square yards and $4,000, 900.
According to the associations
figures British exports for May
Nere 15OiO00,OOG square yards.
the lowest figure since August,
1888, the month in which the ris-
ing tide of Japan's sales passed
the falling British figures.
For the whole of 1888 Japan's
cotton goods exports were $685.
100000 square yards and Britain's
1881. 100000.
Gains In British Lands
Indicating that the new British
barriers were Intellectual, the
figures showed that some of
Japan's largest gains were made
in British territory, especially In
dia, the Straits Settlements, Aus
tralia and South Africa.
For the first five months of
1884 Japan's cotton goods exports
to the markets in which cOmpeti-
ton with Britain has been keenest
India, China, Dutch East In
dies, Africa, Malaga and Latin
America-amounted to 622.OOO.-
600 square yards against 457.-
100000 for Great Britain.
The Japanese advance in the
new Latin American markets, al
though on a smaller scale than in
British territories, helped make
the new record. Latin America in
May bought 13,615,0OO square
yards of japanese cotton goods, a
new record for that territory.
Dutch Shut Best Market
Japan's largest single market
was the Dutch East Indies, which
bought 5S,343,000 square yards.
This is likely to be the highwater
mark for the Dutch possessions
for some time, since new import
restrictions have gone into effect
For the first four months of
1884 Japan's booming cotton
goods export trade gained 10 per
cent over 1888, being valued at
$42.6OO,O00 as against$ 35,7OO,-
600 for the corresponding period
of last year.
