MILES WAIVER

and Pitchers Harry Banner and Dick
Lanahan, the Old Fox ended his obli-
cation to the one-time farm team"
in the Southern Association.
Griffith, who sold the Lookouts
to Joe Engel in midsummer, owed
Chattanooga a half a dozen players
and was awaiting waivers on these
athletes in order to repay the South
ern Association team in talent.
Today the old gentleman got waivers,
surprising nobody on the list he sub
mitted. Sington was unwanted in the
American League, which was the case
last August, and Catcher Miles eluded
the grasp of circuit which is sadly
lacking in catchers

Clarke totaled 486 for his first three
games which was four sticks shy of
Seim's recently made city mark of

The Washington wizard made eight
straight marks for his high game Of

in the fourth and fifth games. The
breaks were pins Nos. /, 4, 6 and 10
which he followed by making Nos. 4,

Lanahan Lacked Control.

Lanahan Lacked Control.
OF THE sixsome waived upon by the
American League the lack of en-
thusiasm shown to Miles was most
surprising. While he never starred
at bat or afield Millies generally was
looked upon as a capable receiver
and fair hitter.
Miles had been with the Wash
tngtonS ever since the spring of 1886
when he was bought for $4,000 from
the Dodgers. Lanahan was a local
sandlotter and scholastic star who at
one time seemed to have the makings
of big-league pitcher. But Dick
lacked poise and control and, prior
to today's shipment, twice was sent
back to the minors for further sea-
soning
Banner was right-handed hurleI
who was supposed to have come up
last summer for trial Manager
Bucky Harris, however, was unim-
pressed by his work and was in no
hurry to look him over.
Miles Couldn't Make 1t.
MILES had been up twice with the
Senators and twice he had beer
turned down. Dee is one of the speed
lest men in baseball, but his fielding
and hitting have been something less
than adequate. MacFarland is clean
limbed youngster who can go and get
q fly ball. He has yet to show, how
ever, that he can hit, and according
to major league standard, hitting
counts lot.
With the release of Sington specu-
1ation now becomes rife as to the
future of Outfielder Al Simmons. Fly
chasers Mel Almada and Johnny Stone
are left-handed hitters and, with
Sington sold to Chattanooga, only
Rookie George Case and Simmons are
right-handers.
The chances now seem to be that
Simmons will be back in Washington
uniform next Spring, regardless Of
how much the Griffmen want to trade
him. The Mats seem to need right
handed hitting power and Simmons
above all others, seems capable OF
providing it.

groomed to annex the world 1885,
L pound title by fellow who once
held it, will bump into Irish Johnny
Dean, who long since relinquished
such ambitions, in feature bout to-
night at Turner's Arena.
Dunno, instructed in the niceties of
ring warfare by the past master OF

defeated lightweight champion, will
peck away at the wild-swinging Dean
over an eight-round route and is IA
vored to record his third victory in as
many local tiffs.
Claims Irish Crown.
CLAIMANT of the Irish lightweight
title, Dunno has whipped joey
Straiges and Sailor Born here and
has been defeated only once in 80
starts. Dean, on the other hand, is
seeking to regain whatever prestige
he boasted before being trimmed by
Cowboy Howard Scott here recently.
Billy Bullock, speedy local light
weight, will square off with Eddie
Alzac of New York in a six-round
semi-final, while another 135-pound
engagement calls for Ray Ingram to
swap punches with Joe Raspi of Balti-
more.
George Abrams, local middleweight,
will seek his eleventh consecutive tri-
umph in professional ranks, stacking
up against one Charley Marshall of
Mississippi. Marshall has been de-
feated locally by Hobo Williams and
Buddy Scott.

Kidnap Clue

Chicago, Sept. 28.-(AP)--A hotel
bellboy's meagre description of a mys-
terious man in a gray cap furnished
the only promising clue today to the
kidnapers of wealthy and aged Char
les S. Ross.
The man talked to Ross in a Sy-
camore, Ill, hotel few hours before
the 72-year-old retired greeting card
manufactures was abducted on high
way a few miles west of Chicago Sat-
urday night.
No demand for ransom had been re-
ceived by the victims distraught wife.
The kidnapers' silence raised a belief
that Ross might have died from shock.
He had suffered from heart disease.
The conversation between Ross and
the man wearing a gray cap occurred
at the Fargo hotel, where the former
had dined with his one-time secretary,
Miss Florence F'reihage, A.
Cecil Vandemere, 19-year-old bellboy,
said the man approached him in the
lobby. and pointing at Ross, asked
sDo you know who that is? He
looks like a man used to know
Vandemere replied he did not know
the elderly man. Later he told police
he was unable to tell whether Ross
ana the stranger were acquainted.

Japanese planes bombed the military

a Shanghai fleet roared over the Chi
nese section, Chapel, to drop cargo
of bombs which caused little apparent
damage
The Marking raid lasted ten minutes
until Chinese pursuit craft drove back
the attackers. Thickly populated areas
were avoided, in apparent reaction to
foreign protests against Japanese bonn
bardment of civilian areas.
The Japanese fleet in Shanghai also
concentrated on Chinese .anti-aircraft

the first time, did little damage, but
they did keep the Japanese planes at
considerable height.
Elsewhere along the Shanghai war

Greatest interest directed toward
the far north.
Japan was estimated by foreign mill
tary observers in North China to be
mobilizing 100000 troops for possi-'
BILE clash with Russia as her armies
claimed advances on all China fronts.

BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press CoIuu7uist

Washington, Sept %. How much
real information President Roosevelt
will acquire from his tour of the west

Next springs primaries will begin
to tell the. story.
The primary verdict will be subject
to ratification, or a veto. on election

primaries will serve as fairly de-
pendable basis for guessing as to the
subsequent election day result.
The presidential tour, no matter

not be so enlightening.
Know Own Districts?
My own theory is that d. senator or

his own state or congressional dis

Roosevelt or Democratic National

The President and Farley doubtless
know the whole country better than
