BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

TIME competitive end Of base ball
is dead and buried for the
year, now that the world series
has been refought and sec
ond-guessed from all angles, but two
impressions linger in the mind of
Clark Griffith as he starts the wheels
of Washington's front office" ma
chinery.
The first, and ostensibly the more
pleasant, of Griff's impressions is that
Detroit's dynasty, extended to world
wide proportions for the first time in
so years. is in danger Of being over
thrown and that the 1886 American
League pennant may well be won this
Winter.
The second, which actually is by
intimation only, is that despite prob
ability Of great business in the Winter
marts, Griff may have to delay his
shopping until at least the close of
the annual joint meeting of the major
leagues.
Talked Deals" at Series.
CRIFFITH'S viewpoint on the
champion Tigers strength, or
rather lack of strength, is one that
he shares with many American League
moguls, including, perhaps, Owner
Frank Natin of Detroit. A week ago
they sang the praises of the Bengals
as they battled the Cubs, but they
warbled in harmonious loyalty and
were not oblivious to apparent weak
spots in the Tiger infield and outf1eld.
Grif saw enough of the Tigers, even
in their moment of greatest glory, to
vouchSafe the opinion that Cochrane' S
crew not only could be beaten next
year, but would be.
He looks upon his own Nationals,
who finished some 27 games back of
the Bengals, as a 1886 contender, but
there is an 'if" to the Washington
presidents speculation IF we
can swing the right kind of trades, -
he finishes.
Griffith was not idle at the series.
Il tried to make a couple of deals.''
he confesses. Il talked with Tom
Yawkey and Joe Mccarthy, but there
was nothing doing at the time. They
want too much for too little. But it's
always tough dealing right after the
season closes. I'll let them think over
the propositions.

that Col. Devers and Lieut.. Ganahl

This afternoons clash should be a
fitting climax to week of sensational
polo. Fauquier-Loudoun, nine-goal
team, will be forced to yield four
points at the outset to sd Cavalry,
but are expected to make up that dis
advantage in the early stages of the
game through the power of a better

referee. is expected to start at end

game . Lack of reserves is hurt
ing the prep schools chances as it
hurts all small-numbered squads
the average local prep school squad
is not more than 20 :. but at some
schools that number is half the total
enrolment Prep schools attract
as little attention as they do chiefly
because there is no league or organi-
zation in which victories would be
significant and through which
teams could be rated g. he. effectively .
Gonzaga, st. Johns and Georgetown

Dewitt probably possesses the most
powerful team in prep school ranks
because high school graduates
can play there after four years of
scholastic foot bail most of the
other schools are conducted on a high
school basis st. Adams plays
only two local schools but gets
as much satisfaction out of its

NEW YORK, January 12.-"Strik-
ing progress" in the national bank
structure of the Nation since the bank
holiday of March, 1888, was reported
today by J. F. T. O'Connor, controller
of the currency, in an address at the
National Democratic Club.
Statistics in the controllers Office
prove conclusively that this sensitive
structure is on a firmer basis than at
any time in our history" O'Connor
said.
The battle is being won. We are
within sight of the last stronghold of
the depression"
O'Connor said that bank failures
numbered only SO during 1884, as
compared with an average of 901
yearly from 1921 to 1882. Only l OF
the So was a national bank, he added,
and its deposits were insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
He said that of the 1,417 banks
under the controllers jurisdiction at
the end of the holiday only 5 of the
1,4l7 unlicensed banks remain un-
disposed of. Their deposits of $685.
600 constitute three-tenths of l per
cent of the deposits of all the banks,
he declared.

posits of $l,802, ,2S5, 900, have been re-

PROPOSAL STUDIED

sioners Weighing Plan.
Defends Control Bill.

A proposal for establishment Of
civil service for employees of the Dis
trict government is being considered
by the Commissioners. Peoples Coun-
sci William A. Roberts revealed last
night in a talk before members Of
the Mount Pleasant Citizens Associ-
alton.
The statement was made while
Roberts was upholding objectives Of
the proposed bill for expanding the
powers of the Commissioners.
Control Bill Opposed. :
The association went on record op-
posing the provision of the bill as now
drafted which would give the Com
miSsionerS veto and directional power
over the acts of independent agencies
whose operations are supported out Of
District revenues.
The power of appointing members
of the School Board should remain
with the justices of District Supreme
Court, it was resolved. A. Guy Reber
was selected to present these views
to the Commissioners at the hearing
Wednesday on the subject.
Political Spoils Feared.
Fear was voiced by one member
that the proposed change would lead
to injection Of political influence over
the schools. Replying to this, Roberts
reported that one of the Commission
ers favors adoption of District civil
service plan.
The association decided to send to
the District officials request for a
traffic light at the intersection of
Park road and Mount Pleasant street.

Opening the battle against American

tor Hiram johnson, Republican. Of
California last night asserted adher-
ence would be because Of a "maudlin"
spirit Of fnternationalism to muddle
and meddle in world political affairs
that admittedly has no concern for
U.S."
In a formal statement issued in ad-
vance Of Senate consideration of the
ratification resolution next week. the
veteran Republican independent rap
ped the Court for permitting poll
tics" to enter its judicial rulings and
said American accession would be "but
prelude to joining the League OF
Nations"
what q pity" he said, that we
must turn for even the briefest period
from the trials of our own people to
trials in a foreign moribund League
Of Nations and. If its proponents are
right, its futile Court.
Held First False Step.
Becoming q part Of the Court Off
cially is the first false step in the
complete abrogation of the foreign
policy from which our Republic never
has deviated."
johnson said hint Of this abroga-
ton may be seen in the action of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
in repudiating the reservation of 1925
to prevent this country from internal
political situations In foreign states
and to guard against REIMBURSEMENT
of its traditional attitude toward pure
ly American questions.
This reservation was offered in COM
mittee by Senator Vandenberg. Re
publican, Of Michigan, and was re-
jected. II to 9. johnson said it would
be reofiered on the floor.

our proponents insist, our entry would
be an idle and futile action.
I'VE have no controversy with any
foreign nation that We cannot settle
by arbitration. We have no inter-
national problem we desire to be
passed upon by foreign judges.
Peace. it is asserted. Is brought
nearer by the Court and by our ac-
cession. The present state of the
world answers this plea. The condi-
tons existing in Europe, volcanic as
they are. make this the most unpro-
pitious Of all times for our Republic
to Join in controversy there, or to
be part in their decision.
"All the high promises that were
held out for the League of Nations
in 1919 and 1920 have utterly failed.
With the treaty of Versailles over
