DETROIT, Mich, Aug. SAN in.
jury and accident jinx which
harassed the Cleveland Indians
since the beginning of the season
today continued to shadow the
club. It can be blamed in part
for the resignation of Walter
Johnson as manager of the Tribe.
The latest mishap to befall the
Indians is the illness of Bruce
Campbell, right fielder acquired by
the Indians from the st. Louis
Browns, who yesterday was taken
to Harper Hospital here with
cerebro spinal fever.
Campbell played for eight in.
nings against the Detroit Tigers
in the first game of double
header and then asked to be re.
lieved because he didn't feel

Yesterday he awoke with a
severe chill and complained to his
roommate, Lloyd Brown, left

Serum Given
Taken to Harper Hospital, his
illness was diagnosed and he was
Immediately put to bed and anti
meninoccocus serum treatments
were given.
Physicians said he has $3.50
chance to live, but stated he would
be out the rest of the season, if
not permanently. The ailment,
they said, is mild form of cere-
bral meningitis and often ends
fatally. It is not contagious, how
ever, and other Cleveland players
will not be isolated.
Firecrackers riddled the Indian
ranks earlier when Clint Brown,
a pitcher, and Earl Averill, star
outfielder were injured. Brown

injured his throwing hand and

Ralph Winegarner, pitcher and
pinch hitter, was out for a time
with rabbit fever. Monte Pearson,
righthanded pitcher, was SUM-
burned severely and forced to
take hospital treatments.
On Voluntary List
frankie Pytlak, one Of the
smallest catchers in the league,
but a star in his own right, asked
to be put on the voluntarily re-
tired list because of stomach
trouble. His loss was one of the
worst the Indians suffered.
Bill Knickerbocker, classy short
stop, underwent an appendicitis
operation just as the season got
under way, and was lost to the
team for nearly two months.
And just recently Joe Vosmik,
clouting outfielder, injured an
ankle and was out for a time and

to the club.

Johnson, according to Alva
Bradley, president of the club,
will remain with the Indians as
scout, passing on the ability
Of young players in Indian farms
throughout the country.
His resignation as manager
was voluntary. Bradley said. It
was announced as the indians re-
turned here from their disas-
trous Detroit series.
Resignation Expected
johnson, upon his arrival, was
called into. an hours conference
with Bradley and then came the
announcement he was through.
It was not unexpected. After a
conference with Bradley in De-
troit Friday, johnson had asked
newspaper reporters, What are
you fellows going to write about
after I do go back to the farm?"
His resignation said:
"After several conferences
with the owners Of the club, I
suggested to them that q change
in managers might remove the
pressure which I think some OF
our young players are under.
Injuries and sickness have
been q great handicap this year,
but the boys have made a good
fight under adverse conditions
and this young club, some day,
will make great team.
II have told MIR. Bradley Of
my desire to step out. He has
accepted my resignation, but has
requested that the thorough
check I have made of the prog
ress of the young men on the
team be made the property of
the club. This / have agreed
to do"

ager was written on the wall from
the moment his team failed to
live up to preseason predictions.
Sports writer's and even johnson
himself had forecast they would
be league champions. When they
failed, the fans began clamoring
for Johnson's scalp.
Even then the day of reckon
ing might have been postponed
had the Indians made a clean
sweep of the Tigers series in De-
troit. Instead, they lost both
games of a doubleheader Satur-
day and dropped the third game,
Z to 0, to Detroit yesterday.
Detroit thus became the "jinx''

pitched his first major league
ball game for the Washington
Senators. He lost.

made the jump directly into the

of the Washington Senators for
four years. He retired from base.

farm to become manager of the
Indians on June 10, 1888. The
Indians finished fourth that year
and third in 1884. They are in
fifth place now.

CHILDREN HELD
CHIEF WORRY
FOR TRAFFIC

The child pedestrian presents
the major problem Of modern
day traffic. He must be kept
out of the street. Inclosed play
grounds should be built for him.
These opinions we're expressed
today by M. o. Eldrige, assistant
director Of traffic in Washing
ton, at the convention Of the
American Road Builders Associa-
ton, gathered at the Willard
Hotel to map their road-recovery
program.
Mr.. Eldridge's address was de-
livered at one Of the major group
meetings Of the organization.
Technical discussions largely oc-
cupied the road builders today
and they had a realistic problem
presented to them as they glanced
out the windows and saw the
heavy snow mantling the city.
Plans for the Pan-American
highway, linking North and South
America, will be analyzed today
before the convention Of the
before the convention by Gull
lermo Donzalez de Alcala, who
came from Mexico City to attend
the sessions here with 1000 other
highway builders and officials.
Spurred BY Hayden
The convention, which opened
yesterday, was to delve into a
maze of technical problems to-
day, inspired by the statement
of Senator Carl Hayden D0 of
Arizona, that Congress is dis
posed to make road building a
permanent industry, with most
of the costs and benefits going
to future generations.
Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, high.
way director Of the District of
Columbia, followed Senator Hay
den with an address in which he
attacked the division Of gasoline
tax and automobile license money
to purposes other than highway
construction and maintenance.
Frederic A. Delano, chairman
Of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, criticized
plans advanced for the building
Of subWayS and underground
garages as a solution to Wash
ington'S traffic ills. The cost, he
said, would be prohibitive.

The average pe:Son still thinks
of women in the light of 1865,
when they wore hoop skirts,
tainted on the slightest pretext,
depended on men for their bread
and in all respects were the
weaker sex"
This was pointed out today by
Mrs. Geline Macdonald Bowman,
of Richmond, Va, president of the
National Federation of Business
and Professional Women's Clubs,
who is in Washington for the con-
ference Of the Cause and Cure of
War.
But this isn't 1865. It's 1885,
and women are forced to work for
their own bread in these days, not
only to keep themselves alive, but
also to support their dependents,
Mrs. Bowman declared.
Lot Of Bunk
Some people say, Mrs. Bowman
oCA4OS LA4dO WOA1CA4 OO11 have W
work, that they should depend on
the male heads of their families
for support.
But that's a lot Of bunk, accord
ing to Mrs. Bowman, who pointed
to statistics which show that
about SO per cent of the women
holding jobs need that income.
In the last few years, she
added, the number of women's de-
pendents have increased, adding
to the argument that they need
their jobs and that men should
not try to do them out of their
positions.
Mrs. Bowman also looked with
scorn on the much discussed sec.
ton 213 Of the economy act,
which prohibits both a man and
his wife to be employed by the
United States Government at the
same time.
About this "cruel and horrible
injustice" she said:
TITS not only unsOund, but
It's so unSOund that a child in

to sound a warning to those
who are so cocksure Of its
merits. 1t may be they do not
know what is going on behind
the screen, and doubt If the
President himself knows. If he
does and he sanctions the con-
duct of some Of the political
parasites operating in Mary
land, I think Andrew Jackson
would have nothing on this Ad-
miniStration, as far as the spoilS
system is concerned.
I predict if the present po-
litical discrimination continues
against honesty and service for
two years longer, the Demo
cratic party will be recognizing
for their lives instead of the Re-
publicanS.
The last election was a smack
against some of these depreda-
tionS in Maryland.

Wants DiUOrce L0uUs
Liberalized

To the Editor Of The Times:
One who signs Zone Who
Knows" wishes the District di-
vorce laws frightened instead Of
liberalized.
We believe that the law here
and the procedure is a reflection
upon the legislative branch of
our Government and the judici-
ary which encourages disreSpect
for authority. You cannot ask to
compel a man and woman that
no longer love each other, or
live together, to remain tied to
each other.
It is noted that the legal pro-
feSSion through the District Bar
Association is planning to have
the law changed. This should
be demanded by the people as q
whole and not group Of people
who are to be benefited by
"feeS."
We would propose a separate
court to be in session the entire
year to be known as the Court
Of Human Relations where
those who have domestic trou-
bles may present their case with
out counsel.
It should be a model set-up
and duplicated in the States. In
every particular it should be
liberal and equitable for both
man and woman alike. The
grounds for divorce should in

MODERN NEEDS

SAYS GROUP

A legal limit Army and a Navy
second to none, each with com
ponent air forces to meet modern
needs, will be demanded by the
Reserve Officers Association Of
the United States in connection
with its program for National
Defense Week, February 1922.
Departments and chapters OF
the association throughout the
country have been urged to sign
and circulate citizens petitions
and send them at once to mem
bers Of Congress, that the legis-
lators may know of the senti-
ment for what the association
characterizes as IAN adequate
national defense"
Principles Set Forth
In addition, members Of the
association are asked to solicit
the interest of Senators, Repre-
sentativeS and other public Of.
ficials in the plans for National
Defense Week, and to make the
widest possible use Of the press
and radio to impress on the coun.
try the need for a more compre.
henSive preparation for defense
on land and sea.
In suggested form of petition
prepared by DR.. Thomas H. Healy,
Of Georgetown University. the
principles of the associations
members are set forth as follows:
1--WE believe in an America,
peace-lOving and intent ON
peace, but strong enough to in
sure and enforce peace for her
self. We know from our own
history that unpreparednesS
never kept us out Of wars, but
on the contrary dragged us into
them. We believe that an ade-
quate national defense is vital
for our safety and peace, that
1t is our national life insurance,
that its cost is but a fraction of
the cost of unpreparedneSS, that
1t is a vital concern of every
man, woman and child in Amer
lea, that our Government has q
solemn obligation to provide an
adequate defense and that every
citizen has a corresponding duty
to contribute towards it. 1t is
obvious that in an increasingly
armed and unsettled WOrlCi, uni
lateral disarmament is both ma
tional suicide and the most false
economy.
DEFENSE INADEQUATE
Eve agree with the best quail
fled experts that our present
defense is inadequate in spite Of
the fact that from every inn
pOrtant angle we occupy second
place to no other country in
the world, our land forces rank
seventeenth, our sea forces Sec
Ond and our air forces fourth.
We insist that the proper steps
be taken at once to make our
defense adequate on land, in
the air and on the seas.
For the land forces we insist
that the minimum terms Of the
National Defense Act be put
into practical effect, for both
regular and auxiliary cOmpO-
nents, as far as recommended
by the War Department.
"FOr the sea forces, we insist
on q Navy of the comparative
strength provided in the Lon
don and Washington Treaties
the actual construction of the
necessary ships and sufficient
personnel to man them.
1--WE insist on an adequate
air defense in accordance with
the recommendations of the
War and Navy Departments"
Lieut.. Col. Bennett A. Molter,
Air Reserve, national secretary
of the association, with headquar-
ters here, announced today that
every department and chapter in
the United States had been sup
piled with manual Of instruc-
ton for National Defense Week
observance.
