field three solid hits, one of
which was double in the second
inning.
Manager Cronin stated today
that his lineup would continue
indefinitely unless it proved an
unsuccessful feature in the Griffs'
play at this hour Of the season.
The only possible change will be
when a left-hander faces the
team. Then Dave Harris will
play right field instead of Johnny
Stone.
Needless to say, it is hoped
that it will help the Griffs to-
wards many victories from now
on. A few triumphs could be
used all right, especially as the
race is tightening up every mo-
ment in preparation for some
teams squirt to the top to stay.

few decades ago was cutting

lost his fondness for the game
that once made his name known
wherever baseball was a by

For instance, and just to
establish his genuine seductive
ness to the Wiles of baseball, he
deliberately got on a train at
Baltimore yesterday to make
the 45-minute air-cooled trip to
Washington to absorb the af-
ternoon's twin attraction.
Not All Deadhead
That he is employed by a rail-
road and rides on a pass, to my
mind is quite offset by the fact
that he walked up to one of the
wickets at Griffith Stadium and
planked down $1.10 for his ad-
mittance. 1t seems that this

thing of a nut on the gen.

be able to keep them in their

We had been seated together
only a little while when the

could hear Herzog utter one
of those EXPLANATIONS remind
full of Amos or Andy in a

was indeed fairly pop-eyed at

the murder of her daughter in-law,

Wheeled in an invahds chair
from the county jail, where she
has spent the last three months.
DR.. Wynekoop lay with her eyes
closed while the Jail physician and
her son. Walker, lifted her into the
sedan in which she made the
seventy eight-mile trip to the wom-
ems prison at Dwight. III.
Stimulants administered before
she left the Chicago Jail rallied the
elderly woman only slightly from a
lethargy which DR.. Frank Mona
mara said probably will trouble
her continually" A dark bruise
showed on her left cheek. A ma
tron said she fell this morning while
dressing.
Only once before entering the
walls within which physicians ex-
pect her to spend the rest of her
life did DR.. Wynkooop rally her one
time vigor Her thin mouth tight
ening, she said positively to her
son and her daughter, Catherine:

No man in the senate has
done more to promote another war
than the senator from Indiana, J."
said Senator Harrison. He never
has made a speech and he never
has voted for a single treaty to
promote peace. Give him a big
navy bill and he can shout for
that as hard as he can for the
veterans.
To disprove Senator Robinson's
charges. that Germany, France
and Great Britain have been more
generous to ex-soldierS of the
World war than has the United
States. Senator Harrison quoted
from the record. showing that
Germany pays. annually to vet
ersns S2298 per capita for every
man killed and wounded: France.
$50 per capita: Great Britain. $50
per capita. and the United States,
$1,000 per capita.
Lii Arthurs criticism of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's action in going
on q vacation on Vincent Astor'S
yacht drew vitriolic denunciation
from Senator Harrison.
