n AYToNA BEACH, Fla, March
20.-Holding their first VIC
J tory of the Grapefruit League
campaign, the Nationals
headed back to their Orlando train
ing base tonight to be on hand for
a game with the Phillies tomorrow.
The invasion of the Quakers will
mark by far the busiest week yet
scheduled for the Griffs. On sue
cessive days, starting Monday, they
will meet the Red Sox at Orlando,
Detroit at Lakeland, the Cards again
at Daytona Beach, Baltimore at VIM
ter Garden and Detroit and the Cards
at Orlando.
Buck NeWSom, out of whom some
OF his self-confessed greatness was
extracted earlier in the week in an
intra-squad game, will make his debut
as a starter tomorrow against the
PhIlies on Tinker Field. Buck will
throw three innings and will be
followed by Jack Salveson, also max
ing his first appearance in a real
exhibition game, and Ken Chase, the
ANNAAS ocopiiPbN' weaver Will
open against the Red Sox on Mon
day.
Latest reports on the condition Of
Outflelder Taft Wright, who was
struck in the head by a pitched ball
today, were to the effect that he
will be ready for action by tomorrow
or Monday, at the latest. He re-
tired with a headache, but there was
no sign of anything serious.
Dizzy Dean, in uniform today for
the first time, wasted no time in
getting into a ball game Dir isn't
quite ready to pitch, but when brother
Daily was pounded he was sent
up to the plate to bat for him in
the third inning. Jimmy De Shong
struck him out, but only after a
battle. Diz hit one drive that went
sizzling by Buddy Lewis, but it was
foul.
Daytona has taken the Cardinals to
its heart. Every time Diz, Pepper
Martin, Ducky Medwick and Terry
Moore made an appearance the natives
roared.

NeDsom Facing Phils Today
As Griffs Start Full Week
Of Hard Base Ball Battlin p

He's the kid in whom Clark Griffith
was interested last Summer.
When Griff asked Sam Breadon tha
boys price, Breadon replied; NOTHING
under 100000" When Griff was re-
VlVed, Breadon evidently felt that
somebody might really offer that kind
OF dough so he boosted it to s15OOOO.
The boys who heard him In ths
Orlando hotel lobby the other day
didn't believe Taft Wright when he
said to Mike Martin:
/ wish had started TO fight pro-
fessloraly three or four years ago,
I'd have done we'll"
After seeing him get up off tha
ground after getting socked in the
head today, everybody agrees that
Taft can take it." And howl

AID was slightly nonplussed, but
that was all when the car he was driv-
Ing back from Daytona Beach TO Or

Anyway, that's why he missed his
program tonight
Bobby Burke remember him?) Is

Jimmy Wilson of the Phillies will
throw at the Griffs tomorrow. Wilson
recently was quoted as saying that
Robert will end some of his pitching
troubles. Washington fans undoubt-
edly will hope so. But doubt it.
Dick Lanahan still is complaining
Of sore shoulder, which is bad news.
That was why he had to cut short
his season in the Southern ASsocia-
ton last year. Dick says he picked
1t up while hurting against the Giants
earlier in the week.
Mihalic in Hitting Form.
JOHNNY M1HALIC is trying to make
it tough for Buddy Myer to get
back into the lineup. He got three
hits and walk today and two hits
in four tries against the Giants on
st. Patrick's day. That's pretty good
hitting in any league.
Still, Myer was no weakling himself
today. He resembled the Myer Of old
in the fourth inning. when he batted
for Jimmy De Shong and whacked a
clean single to right field.

Harris Pleasantly Surprised.

l hNEW L IldQ gOOQ young pail
club last year" says Mr. Harris,
as he thinks it over in the locker
room at Orlando, a humid hamlet
famous for grapefruit on the half
shell, but l didn't expect my boys
to click so soon. Toward the end
Of the year we we're about the toughest
club in the league, always barring the
Yankees.
ITS a club that was bound to go
places sooner or later, because it has
youth, speed and power, and this year
think we are going to give those IA
vorltes a pretty good run for their
money. But don't get me wrong. 1
am not predicting any pennant. Those
Yankees still are too tough, and there
will be plenty of trouble from Detroit,
Cleveland and Chicago. Any club that
finishes in the first division in our
league has got to be on its toes all the
time"
Obviously, the race for second place
Is among five clubS-Detroit, Cleve-
land, Washington, Chicago and BoS-
ton. Where Washington must Weld

pitching and catching departments.
The pitching staff is very unsettled,
and the backStop staff is in a piteous
plight, consisting largely, as it does,
of Shanty Hogan and Cliff Bolton, the
two slowest self-propellers in base ball.
One Of those two human kegs of
molaSseS will have to have a great
year at the plate to atone for his par
slysed feet. And at least one pitcher
will have to come through with an
unexpectedly good season. Last year,
l think, the Mats were lucky with
their pitching. Buck Newsom and
Jimmy De Shong won 35 games be-
tween them. You can't expect them
to improve on that, even if the club
keeps Newsom instead of trading him
to Detroit. Somebody else-Appleton
or Linke or Cascarella or Salveson or
Lanahan-will have to turn hot as
prairie fire. I don't know which it
Will be, and neither does Mr.. Stanley

Is it bad psychology to have a
player make larger salary than his
manager?
THE salary question has nothing
to do with it. If a player is a great
star he has definite box Office value.
The fans come out to see him play,
not to watch the manager"
Do club owners make too big a profit
in proportion to the players salaries?
Il can't go for that one If I owned

profits I could make"
What, if anything, is wrong with

Base ball should go back to the

with swat and sock. Too many games
are decided in the first inning now
We've lost the greatest thrill of all

LIGHTING DEMAND
SHOWS SPEED-UP
1887 Modernization Program for
Office and Home Fulfilling
Requirements.

Accelerated demand for better light
ing is indicated for the present year,
according to c. E. Greenwood of the
Edison Electric Institute.
THE 1887 program for the mod
ernization Of lighting, both in Offices
and in homes will meet all require
ments of today's electrically conscious
public" Mr.. Greenwood says. For
example, a recent modernization sur.
vey made among owners and man
ayers Of ONCE and apartment build
ings shows that Al per cent OF the
Office buildings and SIS per cent of
the apartment buildings represented
in the reports will be modernized this
year with new lighting fixtures and
lighting improvements.
This increased interest in lighting,
placing 1t second only to redecorating
in office buildings. is unquestionably
due to the fact that tenants are be-
coming more critical of lighting IA

there were 358 mortgages at S per
cent as against 100 at 6 per cent, a
ratio of three and one-half to one

AS to interest rates on central busi-
ness properties, Mr.. Krumrine says:
There is plenty of money available
on downtown properties in Chicago,
for example, at per cent, and 4la
is top on a good loan. The competi-
ton at present for this type of loan
is terrific. But to get this rate the
security must be backed up by a
showing Of the ability of the property

centage to physical value may be

Return of residential space to nor
NAL earning power Is recognized as
the necessary basis for any consid-
erable quantity of new building. With
80 per cent of the cities Of the coun-
try reporting that rents for single
family dwellings are advancing, and
86 per cent Of the cities showing an
up trend for apartment space, the
association in its Semi-annual market
survey made a special inquiry as to
percentage of this advance as COM
pared with rates prevailing year
ago. Results give the most detailed
picture anywhere available Of the
spread Of residential rent change
and its geographical variations in the
rate of change. The increase most
commonly reported Is a 10 per cent
increase. Approximately half the
cities show a 10 per cent rise both
for houses and apartments Approx
Inately one-flfth of the cities show

MORTGAGE SOURCE
TOLD IN ARTICLE
Evolved From Practice of
Requiring Written Docu-
ment on Land Dealings.

The modern mortgage, as 1t is used
today, Is evolved from the seventeenth
century, when written document
first became obligatory in q property
transaction, Fleming A. Waters states
in an article In the current issue Of the
Insured Mortgage Portfolio Of the
Federal Housing Administration.
Before that time, he says, feudal
system existed whereby all lands were
believed rightfully to belong to the
king. who gave them to the lords with
certain incidental obligations. These
lords. in turn. parceled out the land
to the tenants for obligations Of the
same nature as those which they owed
the king. When q lord transferred
property to another nobleman, much
pomp and ceremony was connected
with the transaction, with attendant
publicity, but there was no written
document.
At present, as from the first, no set
pattern Is required in a mortgage, but
certain provisions are demanded. The
document must describe the parties
with reasonable accuracy. and such
parties must be qualified to make the
contract. The premises must be de-
scribed with equal accuracy and the
nature and limits of the estate con-
veyed must be made clear. The debt
which Is secured must also be cited.
Frequently various covenants are
included in this instrument, and some
States have enacted statutes estab-
fishing statutory forms. In most
cases the use of this form is optional,
but Is generally used.
Besides the mortgage in which prop
erty Is conveyed from one person to
another, another popular form of con-
veyance is the deed of trust. Here the
conveyance is made to a third party,
called a trustee, and takes effect only
upon failure to pay the debt. The
trustee can be divested of his limited
title upon payment Of the debt at
any time before the property is sold
to satisfy the terms Of the deed Of
trust. This deed. given to secure the
payment Of a debt, should not be
confused with a deed which conveys
to third party in trust to hold for
some other purpose.
In the latter case the trustee Is
the legal owner Of the property. hold
ing for the beneficiary to protect his

"The township totals give the clear
est indication Of what kind of mort
cages drew per cent as against those

interest, while in the former case the
so-called trustee holds for the benefit
Of the mortgage; and while legal title
technically passes to him, such title
Is bereft Of every element Of ownership
except a bare power to divest the
grantor of his title and vest it in an
other after default.
The 1nal presenS-day requirement
for the elimination Of q mortgage
transaction Is the signing, sealing, ac-
knowledging and delivering of the in
strument. While the mortgage does
not have to be recorded to be valid,
these recording laws have to do with
the transactions on subsequent pur-
chaseS.
