OVER S|LAS
At ARENA

The MesSrs. Rock and Silas
have it out tonight in the boxing
ring at the American Legion
Arena.
Rock, who answers to the first
name of Tony, is the lad who
made such an impressive showing
against Phil FUR recently. Box
ing fans throughout the city and
vicinity know Sid elias. He's the
guy who has put up many good
exhibition in bouts of the past.
Rock is the choice tonight, not
only because of his fast victory
over Fur, but because Of his
splendid record. In the last two
years, the lad has met such men
as Tommy Romano, Pancho Villa.
frankie Bruno, Pete Gulatto and
others.
A good seminal eight-rounder
cofeatures the main go. It is be-
tween Carey Wright and Buster
Brown, the latter a toughie from
Baltimore.
A six-round bout is scheduled be-
tween Sammy Seaman and Law
renee Gum, while in another six
rounder, Popeye Irving meets Pat
Flanagan. A four.rollnd opener
between a couple of colored boys
opens the show.

Senator Stars
On Fishing rip
To the Gooses

A Senator, two judges and
several attorneys and examiners
of the Communication Commits
sion are back in the city today
happy over a three-hour fishing
trip to the GooSeS last night.
Senator Homer T. Bone,
Washington State Democrat
and one of the most prominent
anglers in his State, having
fished Alaska and British Co
lumbia waters, was the out
standing fisherman in the party.
The Senator was tickled over
the catch of 290 fish, including
10 large trout. The rest were
hardheads, most Of which aver
aged two pounds. They used
shrimp.
Others in the party were
Judge George H. Hill, Judge
s. F. R. Robertson. Major A. B.
Dalrymple, Carl F. Arnold, as
Sistant general counsel Of the
commission; Andrew G. Haley,
Robert Hill, James A. Kennedy,

the height of some accomplish
ment, the nature Of which was
never quite clear.
Now the story is that the with
drawal as active head Of the
Philadelphia bail club may be
forced upon him; that he cannot
much longer stand the strain OF
154 afternoons in the dugout;
that being in his seventy-fourth
year, he is now subject to nSeVe
symptoms, although some might
experience difficulty in working
up q first-class prostration about
sixth-place club.
Worse still, there seems to be
something of a whispering cam
paign" going on concerning old
Connie, the intimation being that
he is not the man he was.
Passed Up Radcliff
They say, for instance, that he
is passing up players who pre-
viously wouldn't have been per-
mitted to escape without body
guard, Radcliffe and Kennedy, Of
the White Sox, being mentioned
in this connection. Both were in
the Philadelphia training camp
in the last two years, but it ap-
pears that Connie couldn't see
them with a lorgnette.
They, the whisperers, also cite
the fact that he would have no
portion of Yves Terrell or Buck
NewSom when offered by the In.
dams and Browns, respectively,
and then they remark that Foxx
apparently is to go because he
has no inspiration, that, in eff
feet, he doesn't talk enough;
whereas, Cascarella departed be-
cause he talked too much. In
the latter's case, however, it is
only fair to add that he now is
losing too much, at least as Tar
as the Red Sox are concerned.
Criticize Tactics
Still, they are hitting a little
close to the waistband when they
criticize the gentleman's tactical

Foxx. It seems thai only Mr..
Mack thought that Foxx would
make a catcher; then when the
idea finally caught on with Mr..
Mack and Foxx was returned to
the infield, they claim that an
obvious mistake was made in the
new alignment.
Foxx was played on first base,
Higgins on third base and Finney
in the outfield, displacing Moses,
a $3.50. Instead, they say, Moses
should have been left where he
was, that Finney should have
remained on first base and Foxx
sent to third.
That, of course, is downtown"
managing and anybody can mas
ter it at home in his spare time.
The trick will be to replace Mr..
Mack-with all his inferred
faults or none-if and Supposing
he does retire. 1t might be sim
pier to replace the Tai Mahal.

While E. Phocean was alive

history repeating itself in the case
of the Giants and RedbirdS. He
predicted ultimate victory for st
Louis by five games, and said al
the same time that Detroit woulc

"They did it last year, and you'll
see that they're going to do it
this year. They're SpOtting the

The pitiful collapse of the
Cleveland Indians again leopard
ICES the position of Walter John
son as manager. Nothing the
Tribe does pans out well, and the
poison spread early in the season
when the Indians were picked to
win the pennant, is taking effect
AS critics discuss the possible
removal of johnson, Rogers
Hornsby is suggested as his sue
cessor. It is not likely that base
balls man of iron would consider
the Cleveland post, despite the
fact that Alva Bradley has all
kinds of money, and the founda-
ton for a good ball club is al
ready set.
Play 400 Ball
On June II the Indians had
won 20 games and lost %. AS we
scan the public prints today, the
Tribesmen have won 80 games
and lost 80. This gives them a
percentage for the last month OF
just exactly 400, and that is no
pace for a championship con-
tendon.
Hornsby was slated to succeed
Jimmy Dykes as manager OF the
Chicago White Sox at the end Of
this season in the event that
Dykes failed to put the Pallid
Hose in the running this year.
Dykes has more than made good
on the job, and the probabilities
are that Hornsby will remain in
st. Louis in preference to hiking
off to some other city.

at the victories Frank Buck" O'Neili
of the Redbirds over the Reds.
Moreover, during the last week
the Cards have gained on Terry'S
men at a rate which causes the
manager of the Giants to view
with alarm the madcap pace OF
his pursuers. The Cardinals,
thanks to their squirt and the CO.
operation of the Reds, among
others, have reduced the advan'
tage of the Giants on the lost
side of the percentage column.
That's where the games count.
AS the Giants started West on
July 10, they led the league by
seven full games. They had lost
81 games and the Cards had lost
20. AS baseball men figure, the
Giants were really eight games
to the good. Their advantage has
melted just a little.
Played Selves Out
Some critics incline to the
opinion that the Giants played
themselves out on their extended
tour of the provinces this spring.
It is commended that the Giants
play a Seven-months season to six
for the opposition. This, it is
said, moWS down the Terrymen to
a point where they wilt under
severe pressure.

D. C. TO PROBE USURY
AMONG VETERANS
Action Promised Immediately
Against Lenders Victimizing
Men at Soldiers Home.

Disclosure of the operation Of "loan
sharks" among veterans at the United
States Soldiers Home has prompted
District officials to prepare punitive
action against lenders in advance OF
the date set for prosecutions under
the drive against usurers, next Mon
day.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Ed
ward Curran has collected testimony
to show that one veteran has paid
$500 interest on series Of loans to-
falling $500 principal.
He notified the attorney for the
lender immediate prosecution would
be started unless the suit is dropped.
The lender Is aid to be resident Of
Virginia who formerly lived at the
Soldiers Home. The attorney said
he would advise his client to dismiss
the suit.
Other complaints Of loan shark
operations at the Soldiers Home also
are being investigated by Curran.
Rigid enforcement Of the 1918 loan
shark law was ordered by Corporation
Counsel Prettyman after Congress
failed to pass the proposed new small
loans bill. The present law limits in
terest and other charges to per cent
per month. Active prosecutions were
to be started by September 16.

WOMAN ARRESTED
IN STABBING CASE
Ruse by Police Brings Apprehen.
sion of Willie Mae Williams
at Beckley. W. Va.

A ruse by Washington police has
brought about the arrest in Beckley,
w. Va, of woman wanted here in
connection with the fatal stabbing on
September l of James MCGOWAN, 80.
of the 800 block of Fourth street
northeast.
The woman, Willie Mae Williams,
20, was arrested by West Virginia
authorities upon request of Washing
ton police, who secured a United
States commissioners warrant for her
return here. Detective Sergt. A. M.
Tolson left to bring her back to Wash
ington.
Detective Sergt. George E. Darnall,
head Of police homicide squade, re-
vealed today police had line on the
woman shortly after the stabbing.
Fearing she would keep secret where
she was if she knew she was sought,
police pretended to be seeking a man,
Darnall said.
Immediately after McGowans death
last Monday, police secretly sought
the woman in connection with the
killing. Two men and two women
were still in custody of police today
as witnesses in the stabbing.
One of the witnesses told police
MCGOWAN had bothered several women
around the Fourth street house and
that one Of them turned from a
kitchen table and stabbed him with
knife. MCGOWAN was taken to
Ca ualty Hospital from Fifth and H
streets northeast.
