Ford attained his position by beat

went down in glory, however, the con-

Two Psychological Turns.

THE Tigers still are peering through
the fogs to the Autumn days Of
1907 when Frank Chances Cubs re-
moved their hides. They have won
four pennants, dating back to 1907,
but Cubs, Pirates and Cardinals have
blocked the road to the promised land
and the major cut.
Overall, Reulbach, Pfeister, Three
finger Brown, Babe Adams, Camnitz
and the two Deans have barred the
way for the % years.
But if the worm will turn,
why not the Tiger? They now
see Warneke, Lee. French and
Root waiting with poisoned
harpoons.
Even in the days Of the great Cobb,
"Wahoo Sam" Crawford, Bob Veach,
Germany Schaefer, Wild Bill Dono-
van, etc, they never could slip safely
through this Autumn classic.
But no one ever accused Mickey
Cochrane of bowling to any fate.
Mickey is more determined than
ever to give his Tgertown supporters
their first flag, and he has his delega-
ton keyed up to the same pitch.
This thing can't last forever" "
Mickey said. I've got a hunch We
are due at last because we've got the
ball club that should be good enough
to win"
"You don't think the hoodoo will
last?" I asked.
Mr.. Cochrane fixed me with a
scornful eye "Hoodoo!" he said.
There's no such thing. If there is,
we'll take it apart in the next six
days. Well show you who's who in
hoodoo land"
asked Charlie Grimm If he thought
the long winning streak Of the Cubs
would leave them still smoking hot
or whether the shelling was over.
eve were not hot" Grimm
said. I'VE were just warming up
to get hot for this series.
Honestly. there wasn't q man on
the club under any sort Of strain.
don't think the 81 straight games
make any difference at all. They
merely mean we had quite ball club
on the field every day. for you don't
win 81 straight with punks.
We won through speed, spirit. skill
and pitching We kept all that uu
for a month. Why stop with the main
goal just ahead?"
Anyway, the big show is on again
between two good ball clubs-the two
best in the major leagues for 1885
Why not turn over the rest of the dis
cussion to the box scores. which speak
in figures much more eloquent than
any large bale of words could ever
hope to do?

TOOT BALL people who thought
- that doughty little Western
Maryland would fold up when
l. brilliant Dick Harlow moved to
Harvard were entirely wrong. The
Green Terror is back with another
tough team. one that is destined to
be as formidable as Harlow's of last
year which was undefeated.
This, anyway, is the opinion OF
competent judges who know the situa-
ton and who saw the Green Terrors
roll up At points on Shenandoah in
their opening game and click with
smoothness under wraps that augurs
evil for every team Western Maryland
is to play. When the general picture
for foot ball about Washington was
drawn a while back, the Green Terror
entirely was overlooked. But 1t can
not be excluded now, for Western
Maryland may supply most of the
gridiron fireworks for the Capital at
the seasons end. In quick succession

short, it will take on three of the Dis
trict's major teams within the space
of month and advices from West
minister are that the Green Terror
will relish the task.
Charlie Havens, who succeeded Har-
low, had three years at Western Mary
land as assistant to the master and
he learned heaps about coaching a
foot ball team. His material this
season seems to have been OF high
order.
It is said that Campbell, a back,
approaches the famous Bill Shepherd,
who finished last season with one of
the finest records ever made by a
gridironer in the Old Line State, lead
ing the country in scoring, and that
the backfield, as whole, excells last
years.
According to our informant, Camp
bell can do anything on foot ball
field about as we'll as Shepherd and
some things better" Which to us
seems almost incredible.

that big Jimmie Foxx. last of the AS
great championship galaxy, is headed
for Boston. 1t may be confirmed,
soon, though another grapevine rumor
has it that Foxx will wind up with
his old pal, Jimmie Dykes, in White
Sox uniform. The price tag on Foxx
is at least $150,000.
Mack Needs Pitchers.
THE Red Sox may be rivaled by the
Detroit Tigers or the New York
Yankees in any bidding for Roger
Cramer and Wally Moses, outfield
stars of the AS. Moses was the re-
cruit sensation Of the league until he
was hurt and put out of action. Mr.
Mack is badly in need of pitchers, but
he will find 1t difficult to get what he
wants without parting with most of
the power on his club. He may wind
up, the way he did after the 1882 sea-
son.
AL Simmons of the White Sox and
Chuck Klein Of the Cubs, names to
conjure with for years, but bench
riders good share Of the last season,
may shift to new surroundings. Man
ager Mickey Cochrane Of the Tigers,
who must bolster his outer patrol
for 1896, could use his old team
mate, Simmons, in case he can't get
the younger talent he wants
The. Cubs, who paid $125,000 for
Klein two years ago. when he was
the National Leagues hitting king,
would be lucky to get $4,000 now
for the big clouter. Chuck may wind
up in st. Louis, especially If the
Cardinals can offer the new cham
pions something attractive in the
pitching line. The Cubs also are ready
to part with Pitcher Tex Carleton,
another disappointment to them.
Rogers (Trader) Hornsby, the SEN
sation of this years swapping, has
several irons in the fire on behalf
of the st. Louis Browns, including
q possible deal with the Yankees.
Bill McKechnie, commissioned by his
boss, Charles F. Adams, to do some
thing drastic for 1896. has some real
money to spend bolstering the Boston
Braves. The Brooklyn Dodgers lack
the cash, but they are in receptive
mood.
The White Sox intend to plow 1886
profits back into the business. They
have had a taste OF better things,
including a turn at league leader
ship, and are ambitious. Cleveland Is
looking for good left-handed pitcher,
but so Is most everybody else.

ARRESTS ORDERED
IN BAN ON DUMPS
Sign Forbids Further Use
of One Site in ArIing-
ton County.

Painted in black letters. a mo
dumping" sign was posted yesterday
at the entrance to the RoSslyn burn
ing dump as Arlington County. Va.
law enforcement officials acted to
compel strict adherence to a 10-year-
old ordinance prohibiting commercial
burning dumps.
While the operators Of the Highway
Bridge dump failed to post a similar
sign. police warned that any truck
driver found dumping on this lot
will be arrested and prosecuted.
Under this policy the dumps SEEM
ingly are relegated to memory, and
the fight against the health-menac-
ing and unsightly spots crowned with
success. At least this was the senti-
ment expressed today by some of the
leaders who demanded the law pro-
hibiting dumps be invoked.
Arrests Ordered.
Sheriff Howard B. Fields. head of
the Arlington police. declared he has
instructed his men to keep watchful
eyes over the dumps and apprehend
any one found violating the law.
Meanwhile officials of nearby Mary
land counties, conscious that this ac-
tion may result in a move to start
dumps IN other locations. acted to
prevent operators from diverting trash
and junk to their jurisdictions.
Robert B. Morse, chief engineer of
the Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission, stated that double care
must be taken to forestall the loca-
ton of dumping lots in Prince George
County.
The sanitary commission, Morse
pointed out. has power to regulate
and license dumps in the metropolitan
area of the county. and now is draft
ing schedule of new regulations
which will be put into effect at an
early date.
An amended dumping law, passed
by the Maryland Legislature, becomes
operative tomorrow. 1t provides for
the commission to designate public
dumps and to make charges for the
use of them.
The Montgomery County Board of
Commissioners is also ready to act
on this matter. according to Frank H.
Karn. president. Immediate steps
will be taken to prohibit the establish
ment of new dump lots, he said.
Surely We do not want the Dump
ing of Washington refuse in Mont
gomery County" he said. Although
I believe We have rather strict laws
against such practices, will broach
the subject at the Tuesday meeting
of the board. with the view of push
ing an investigation of the situation. "

MINE PLAN URGED
TO SUCCEED N.R.A.
Gufey Bill Studied by New
Dealers as Possible
Model for Act.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Little N. R. A." which the
United Mine Workers and many mine
operators have asked Congress to
establish for the soft coal industry.
is being studied by some administra-
ton experts as possible model fer
a new recovery act.
Under the proposed coal stabiliZa-
tiCn measure, which is known as tine
Guffey bill. enforcement would be
based on congressional taxing powers.
A 25 per cent tax would be levied on
all bituminous coal produced in this
country and operators complying with
the regulations would be entitled to a
credit amounting to 80 per cent cf the
tax
While the possibility of applying
this principle to other industries was
under discussion in the Capital, the
administration closely watched labor
troubles already in progress or threat
ened by scrapping of N r. A.
John l.. Lewis. president OF the
United Mine Workers, has announced
that orders to strike unless new
wage agreement is signed before June
II will be sent out in a few days to
100000 soft coal miners. He con-
tends this walkout could be averted
by enactment of the Guffey bill.
Edward F. McGrady, Assistant Sec
retary of Labor, has indicated he will
go promptly to the Pacific Coast If
the impending expiration of the mari
time workers agreement produces
definite strike threat A lumber strike
and a strike of tanker seamen are
