Buck Newsom will pitch for the
Griffs this afternoon. Buck is on
the liquid diet. He had steak for
dinner last night and steak for
breakfast this morning, to make
up for a couple he missed during
his convaleScence.
''Why not save Buck for the
Yankees tomorrow" we asked
Harris this morning.

at bat. He handled a couple OF
chances in fine style. notably one
lick at Hayes. He made q wild
throw but it didn't count in the
score.
Travis Hitting $50 ~
Cecil Travis continues to barge
his way along to a $50 average.
He collected three more hits yes
terday, scored a run and drove
home a run. Travis had only two
chances in the field, but one Of
Their, put him to the test. Allie

who whipped him out to Kuhel.
Now that may sound simple, but
Moses fairly flies down to first
base. Travis had to charge the bah
and make his throw in q hurry:
he did it in fine style: made e
lool- easy.
There is little doubt that Joe
Kuhel is back on the high road to
a big year. Kuhel got three hits
yesterday, and hit to all three
fields. He is timing the baA
nicely, with never a sign Of over"
swinging. He drove in a run. -
Bucky Harris will feel a lot bet
ter when the Griffs shake off this
habit of winning games by one
run. All four Of their games 50
far have been decided by a single
counter.
In one way, I suppose it Is all
right. For years you've heard
that great teams win games BY
one run. Ball players would
rather lose 8 to 0 than 2 to /.
Well, the GriffS have won three
games by one run margins, and
perhaps that is a sign Of budding
greatness. We shall see what we
shall see.

lican leadership predicted he
would carry Iowa by from $4,000
to 100000, while farm editors de-
clared it materially strengthened
his cause throughout the entire
midwest.
Landon began the day by break

Republican Central Committee,
Iowa Republican candidates and
the local reception committee. At
10 o'clock he was to meet John P.

Ninety-nine actual farmers, fresh

to meet them, hoping to get some

Landon received a tumultous re.

BOARD SHIFTS
PHOTO ORDER

UPPER MARLOBO, Md, Sept.
23.-The Prince Georges County
Board of Commissioners yesterday
rescinded their order for the max
ing of photostatic copies Of all
county police records in the
Hyattsvile and Upper Marlboro
stations. The previous order,
passed at the weekly meeting last
Tuesday, was made at the beheSt
of a Washington attorney as the
first step in a movement to bring
about greater efficiency in the
police department.
The resolution was reversed yes
terday after the appearance of
Police Chief j. J. Crowley before
the board to state that the max
ing the photostatic copies of the
records would be an unnecessary
expense. He stated that the rec
ords were now open to the public
and that the books would be pre-
sented to the county commission
ers after he had made his semi
annual report to the county grand
jury in October.
A notice was received by the
commissioners from the State
Roads Commission stating that
shoulders were to be placed on
Central Avenue between Ritchie
Road and Hall Station. The COM
missioners last month, following
appeals from numerous delega-
tions for a widening of the road,
asked the State Commission for
the placing Of shoulders as soon
as possible.

NEW SCHEME FOR CONGRESS
 IS INDICATED
Trend Is Seen to Legisla- ton by Committee
 Tax Bill Example

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. = The handling of the tax bill in the re- cent Congress illustrated trend in legislation which leaders on both sides of the aisle have recog- nized; but they seem uncertain whether to wrestle with it or allow it to proceed.
 It is the tendency to allow com- mittees to legislate and the open assemblies of each House merely to ratify what the committees have done.
 Here is the general course of the tax bill:
 A House Committee labored over it for weeks. It then was fed to the House, which, with barely time to digest it's sugar coating, sent it to the Senate.
 There a somewhat similar pro- cedure was followed A Senate Com mittee held hearings on it, then set out to re-write it.

WEATHER NEAR KODIAK BLAMED
 FOR BAD FISH
High Temperature of Water and Air Causeof Abnormal
 Condition, Expert Says

The abnormal condition of sal- mon in the Kodiak area is not due to disease but to feed in the stom- achs and, mainly, the rapid de- composition is brought about by high temperature of the water and air, according to, the report of pr. Frederick Davidson of the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries, to Com missioner Frank T. Bell and the fish bureau here.
 Dr. Davidson recently flew into the area after two canneries were forced to close down for few days due to the bad condition of the fish. The condition is now clearing up, Dr. Davidson reported, and the canneries are returning to normal pack.
 Owing to the peculiar abnormal condition of the salmon, blood shot areas in them were produced from bruises received in normal handling and transportation. First belief was that the fish were diseased and became discolored be cause of it. However, Dr. Davidson now finds the condition due to the unusual weather condition causing high temperature of water and air.
