Hitch in Navy Awards

While on this line, it is inter- esting to note that there may be a slight hitch in the new naval awards for 13 new vessels. The actual contracts haven't been signed, because all bidders refused a proviso that would have given the navy department authority to arbitrate any labor disputes.
 An effort is being made to iron out this disagreement, for the long strike at the Camden yard this year make 1t desirable to have such matters understood in advance. With the senate munitions com mittee embarked on a study of what it would cost the government to roll its own." however, there Ahould be little difficulty in reach ing an agreement on this.
 The fact that all bids except those on light cruiser No. 49 (which were rejected as too high) were regarded as ''very reason able" may be due to the fact that shipbuilders have been reading the testimony before the Nye muni- tions committee on profits of the past.

Democrat Washington CorresDOndent

Washington, Sept 25.-To the iayman who forever Is reading about startling, mysterious, and closely hidden inventions in the science of warfare, there is some thing puzzling and inconsistent in the old custom of inviting foreign observers to witness elaborate maneuvers of rival military power.
 One would assume that these observers would learn all the care fully guarded secrets of their po- tential foes.
 Especially does the custom seem puzzling when dispatches tell of an American tourist being arrested for training his camera on a Japanese pagoda or a Swiss tourist photo graphing the end of a coal dock near a U. s. navy yard. Why the "come and see everything" attitude in one case and the excess of eau tion in the other?
 But U. S. war department off, cers can give the answer. It's not at all unusual, they say, to divide the maneuverS into two parts. For eign military attaches are invited to the part that's already "in the bad" the part that will look good.
 But if there is something really experimental going on, something that may be a flop, new and really exclusive equipment that may jam, or blow up, or be boggled in the using, that is taken off and tried out in an isolated corner where the visitors can't see 1t.

EDUCATION MUST
 NOT BE NEGLECTED

Providence, R. T., Sept 25-(UP) The danger of neglecting edu- cational standards for youth was mphasized by Governor Francis Green of Rhode Island here last night, in an address before the New England conference of the State Federation of Women's clubs.
 "We can all agree that he recov- cry of markind lies largely in the strengthening of its youth, mem tally, physically, and morally" Green said.
 "As and organization, you can see to it that your government, be it state or, local, does not let its teachers go unpaid while it fritters away money on foolish or far less necessary matters. You can see to it that the best available people are in charge of education"

Seems Better Than It Is

For instance, the spectacular Russian stunt of "vertical envelop- ment' by flying infantry over q front and dropping them in para chutes behind the enemy line to attack from the rear. will look bet ter in the movies than in actual warfare, experienced officers here believe. Further, it isn't new, but was tried out several years ago by the French on a somewhat smaller scale.
 The layman, reading of things like this, is impressed. But the ex- perienced observer on the scene, is able to evaluate it more truly.
 His job is to learn what he can, translate the data into terms of his own country's problem, and give the home country the benefit of the foreign experience so far as possible.
 The war department denies, in- cidentally, that 1t has anything to do with those arrests of earnest and bespectacled Japanese travel CTS who take photos of military strongholds like the George Wash ington bridge with No. Brownie camera. Such arrests are always the work of over-zealous civil au- thorities. the military will tell you.

Cardinals Must Fight
GREAT THREE WAY
 FIGHT FOR FLAG
 TOPS NATIONAL
Drive May Continue to Last Day Unless One
 Team Sweeps Series
BY HENRY sUPER

New York, Aug. 51-(UP)-The club which wins the National league pennant is going to have to do some fancy stepping in the remaining weeks of the 1895 sea- son.
 Three teams-the St. Louis Car- dinals' New York Giants and Chi cago Cubs-are punched SO close ly that only 1-2 games separate the leading Cardinals from the third .place Cubs. And only six games from the top are the Pitts- burg Pirates. None has demonstrated itself the master of the other three. And because of that, two possibilities are offered as to how the pennant may be decided:
 1. One of the four contenders may win its remaining series ranging from four to five games from the other three.
 2. A ding-dong battle down to the last day with the second divi- sion clubs holding the key to the pennant, and the winner being on the short end of games played against one or more of the con- tenders.
 Up to now, the Cards are on the long end against the Cubs but have won less against the Giants and Pirates. The Giants, in turn, have lost more than they have won over Chicago. The Cubs have scored decisively over the Giants and Pi. rates but not over the Cards and the Pirates boast more victories than defeats over the Cards but fewer with the Giants and Cubs.
 The Cards have 32 games left on their schedule, IA of which are with the three contenders. The Giants have 32 left, including 12 against their rivals. The Cubs have 27 to play, 13 of them against the other three and the Pirates have 26 and 13.
 The Pirates chalked up their ninth straight victory yesterday by defeating the Cardinals 9-3 in the second of their two-game series. Their streak now includes two over the Cards, and three over the Giants. Today they get a crack at the third contender when they open 8 two-game series with the Cubs.
 Red Lucas held the Cards in check with seven hits while his mates were battering Wild Bill Hallahan and Phil Collins for 14. Paul Waner, with four hits, in- cluding two triples, drove in four Pirate runs. The loss cut the Cards lead over the Giants to one game and over the Cubs to 1 1-2 games. The Brooklyn-New York game was rained out and the oth- CTS were unscheduled.
 In. the only American league game, the Detroit Tigers had their lead over the second place New York Yankees trimmed to nine games when they lost, 3-7, to the St. Louis Browns. Gifts homer in the sixth tied the count after the Tigers had gotten off to fly- ing start and two runs in the eighth game the. Browns victory. Boston and Philadelphia were rained out and the others were uri- scheduled.

HARRY CRIMSON

Philadelphia, Aug. :s-Thomas Austin JYawkey asserts that if he had had the say, Julius Solters would not have been swapped by the Red Sox to tho So. Louis Browns for Oscar Meliilo and &C., 900.
 Indeed, had it been left to Yaw- key, the large lambasting Solters would not have been sold at any price. Yawkey, young man of many millions, isn't selling. He's buying. After what Yawkey has spent in Boston, it is difficult to under stand just what a baseball owner has to do to have the final word on deals involving his own club.
 Yawkey has invested more than than $750,000 of 1t for talent. in- cluding $250,000 for Joe Cronin and s125,000 for Lefty Bob Grove. Without boring you win details, 1t can be sand without fear of contradiction that the New York capitlaist did not rec ceive any the best of 1t in several | transactions.
 Yawkey's remarks ansnt Solters may be an indication that the bank roll man of Fenway Park in- tends to take an active hand in future Red Sox purchases, sales. ! and exchanges. Heretofore, they have been solely in the hands of Edward Trowbridge Collins. the immortal second baseman. Yaw- keys accompanying his team on Its final western jaunt may also be significant.
 Yawkey Knows Way Around Yawkey is no babe in the base ball woods, even though he may have appeared to be one at times. Tom comes from a base ball family.
 His foster father, William Hoo- yer Yawkey, was president of the Detroit Tigers from 1908 until 1907 and retained half interest in that franchise until his death in 1918. Tom played second base In preparatory school and at Yale and always has been an ardent American League fan.
 The deal that did the most good for an American League club this year was the one that put Solters in the livery of the Browns. Collins and Cronin gave up on Solters bit too soon. Cronin said the big outfielder from Baltimore had . hitch in his swing. Solters credits Rogers Hornsby with strengthening him out along this line. Anyway. Julius is hitting .S22 for the Browns. In the Boston clubs last visit in. St. Louis, the young man the Red Sox got rid of broke up four of six games.
 | What the Red Sox lack more than anything outside of another lfight-handed power pitcher Is a lright-handed power hitter. sol- lters has bene just that ever since he left Boston.
 Put out by an injury early in the going last season., solters fin- ished hitting .29S fin sl01 games. He hit 1888 for Baltimore the year before which was the prin- IcipaI reason why the rich Red sox paid ee5.O0O for his contract. Soiters covers plenty of ground in the outfield and q rifle arm lswings from his shoulder.
