voters and politicians Of the States
What the Secretary wants is "A job
for every one who wants one
wages high enough to leave no one
in serious want"-"hours of labor
short enough to give every one time
to enjoy life"-"comfortable housing
at moderate oSt''-'maintenance OF
such democratic institutions as free
speech, free criticism and free con-
science" These are just q few
of the things.
It is wondered If the present gen.
Grafton reads F. Marion Crawford'S
novels which were popular in the
famous "90s"-now the starting point
for all argument and comparison of
manners, literature and art-and also
morals and other things.
Mrs Maud Howe Elliot's "My
Cousin, F. Marion Crawford" is worth
another Pulitzer prize (''The Life and
Letters of Julia Ward Howe" by Mrs.
Elliot, it will be remembered was a
prize winner) for she has assembled
much that is interesting with rare
discretion and grace. One in reading
the book is surprised at the many
sided man he thought of only as a
novelist.
It's difficult to decide which is the
most interesting, the text of the Prince
of Wales Royal Safari." taken from
his private diaries-are not all diaries
private?-or the photographs illus
trating the big-game hunts he en-
joyed in East Africa. The style of
the book is a little heavy and the
exciting episodes of the hunt are not
written in a way to enthuse one to
hunt the elephant and tiger on his
native heath. 1t is, however, pleasing
to know how philosophically a royal
highness takes the most thrilling ad-
venture. The Royal Safari'' is ap-
pearing this month in an American
publication-how much word is not
revealed.

Once more Paul Messink's S
Hecht baseballers have taken the
jump on their department store
rivals.
Before a large throng including
prominent department store Off
cials, Hecht slammed LanSburgh
Brothers, II to 4, yesterday, in
augurating the 1884 season.
A. C. Case, general manager Of
Palais Royal tossed out the first
ball.
Messink, himself, pitched for the
Hechtmen, allowing 8 hits and
striking out five. His teammates
found the offerings of Pitcher
Bowman to their liking, driving
him from the hill in the third
frame. The Hechtmen scored
three in the first, two in the sec
ond and five in the third. Ma.
haney, Hecht's sterling shortstop,
was the big gun at the plate, con-
Meeting for three hits including a
tremendous circuit clout.
In the other game Kann'S and
PalaiS Royal battled five innings
to an 8-all tie. Wallack hurled
for Kanns while Kaldenback

Words hardly should be spared
in Russell's case. For the will

with an exception here and
there) all season and this takes
in the triumph he registered over
the Red Sox last Thursday when
he pitched six innings as a re-
lief man, as well as other ef-
forts before yesterdays.
And finally Alphonse Thomas.
This veteran had as important
an assignment as any of his
brethren yesterday as it was his
duty to hold the AS in the
ninth, after having pitched his
head off to win the day before
in game which saw him
knocked out of the box in the
sixth inning.
But he came through with fly
ing colors as he retired the top
end of the AS batting order in

abbetted by Fred Schultz, in CEN

Take the work of Bobby Burke,
Jack Russell and Alp h on e
Thomas, for example. All Of
these men pitched a little bit out
there yesterday in that 7-to-6 VIC
tory against the Philadelphia AS.
and although each was used as
relief pitcher only, the per-
formanceS turned in were note
worthy in that shades of mid
season form were shown.
Bob Burke's efforts were par
ticularly encouraging. The young
lefthander was called upon at an
unusually tough moment in the
third inning as his assignment
was to check the AS at a time
when they had just gathered
three runs as a result of Finney'S
single, Coleman'S walk and Jimmy
Foxx's hard hit home run high
up into the left field bleachers.
Masters Situation
Burke mastered the task in
expert fashion. He retired his
foes in one, two, three order in
that frame and proceeded to al
most duplicate the feat during
the next three innings he occu-
pied the mound. His worst in
ming was the sixth when he
walked McNair and granted a
hit to Marcum. But even here
he had enough stuff to get out

Charities To Benefit
From Boxing in DC.
If Allen Has His Wav

whereas the AS had mostly
Jimmy Foxx to annoy our
hurlers, the Yanks have Ruth,
Gehrig, LazZeri and a couple Of
others who are no respectors Of
either curve or fast balls.
Travis Making Good
Meanwhile there is a sneak
ing suspicion rampant in our
town that the youthful Cecil
Travis is slowly but surely
nudging the veteran Ossie Bluege
out of the picture in the vicinity
of third base. Travis is in good
stride at the moment, some Of
his fielding and hitting border
ing on the sensational.
He. often causes Joe Kuhel to
do a little stretching to get some
of his throws, not yet having
the bulls eye accuracy Of
Bluege, but that may come with
experience. He certainly adds a
punch to the lower end Of the
batting order, something that
will win q lot of ball games for
any mans club.
Allen For Charity
If Commissioner George Ed
gar Allen has anything to do

believes q similar idea can well
be worked out here.
I had the pleasure of an In
teresting quarter hour with the
COMMISSIONS last Saturday, dur
ing which he divested himself of
several theories he has regard
ing boxing and its conduct.
Honesty and Charity
The two points he stressed
mostly were that the District
Commissioners will demand strict
honesty in the handling Of the
sport here, from the boxing COM
missionerS down to the prelim-
mary fighters and that the
sporting fraternity Of Washing
ton which has been so anxious
to have legalized fisticuffing
added to the local calendar
owes It to the underprivileged
people of this city to cut-in the
various charities for parts of
profits from time to time.

Grnfs GiUe Hope
Come From Behind
To Beat Athletics

There is a lot of hope for q
baseball club that can do the
things which the Griffmen ac-
eomplished over the weekend,
namely come from behind in
both their Saturday and Sun
day contests against the Phila-
delphia Athletics to win-albeit
their margins of victory were
slight indeed.
Truth to tell, in the Sabbath
engagement the Griffs twice
found themselves in the rear,
each time having to summon
every ounce Of their energy,
once to tie the score at sail and
later to 60 ahead by the single
run necessary to earn their VIC
tory.
After the Mackmen had un-
loosed the deadlock in the
seventh to lead by one run, no
few of the fainter hearts in the
stands started drifting away
from the breeze-swept arena
figuring the Griffmen had done
their scoring for the day: But
they had not reckoned with the
tenacious will to win with which
Joe Cronin has imbued his crew.
Cronin Takes Charge
In fact it was Cronin him.

avn hands in the ninth when
fhe tieing run was on tnlrd
ind the winning run on second
70 slam one Of "Specs" DE
trich's deliveries out by the
rieht field wall for the nee
ecsary mileage to cinch the VIC
fory. and end the game.
The gesture sent the chilled
mrItitude homeward bound
with warmth in their hearts
even though their bodies were
blue. It was the second IN
stance of the day when Cronln
mad reused the numbed specta-
tors, his other scintillating con.
tribution coming in the third
inning right after Jimmy Foxx
had hit q home run with two
on, in the third.
Nobody with an ounce OF
Washington sentiment was feel
ing particularly hilarious at the
moment, in view of Foxx's dam
age, but Joe Cronin's courage
was high, as he made a back
handed stop Of about as hot q
Rrounder as ever left the bat OF
Bob johnson or any other ball
player, for that matter.
Joe Not Quitting
That drive Of Johnson's would
have gotten away from any
fielder with an ounce of quit"
In his makeup, but Joe Cronin
wasn't quitting in view Of the
way the tide had turned any
more than he was quitting in
the ninth with victory in sight
and q long hit needed to cinch
it. .,..
So we have to report to you
good folks today that the Wash.
ington club is coming around,
despite the fact its pitchers are
still .,as. nervous as a man play
ing q leading role in his own

QUALITY COAL
Polar Company Prepared to

Worth.

Black diamond is a term often
applied when speaking of coal and
is more or less appropriate. The
value of diamond is not easily de-
termined by any one other than
those who have specialized in dia-
monds. The layman may very easily
mistake a clear-cut piece of glass
for a genuine diamond.
Only by a practical demonstra-
ton through burning qualities Of
coal, quantity of ash and clinkerS,
does a consumer learn the real
value of the coal he has purchased.
Therefore, in purchasing coal. as
we'll as in the purchase Of diamonds,
it is advisable to place orders with
reliable and established dealer,
one who makes a speciality Of
handling coal Of quality.
The Polar Ice and Fuel Company.
1000 Northwestern avenue, has
made a speciality of quality coal for
more than a quarter of a century.
