The ner-for-President move
will become official today at Griffith

President Roosevelt in officially in
augurating major league baseball
campaign which has been function
ing without the customary Presi-
dental blessing for three days.
Upward of $4,000 spectators are
expected to converge on Washing
tons ball park to see the Nationals
make their delayed debut before
local fans against the powerful New
York Yankees, 2-5 favorites to
snatch their fourth successive Amer
ican League pennant.
The smallest crowd that ever
greeted the opening of a baseball
season appeared at the park this
morning, the reason being that every
seat in the park, including the
bleacherS, was reserved.
At II o'clock Capt. James E. Bobo
of the 18th precinct and his two
lieutenants, Charles j. B. Weber and
Clarence H. Lutz, marched a phalanx
Of policemen, three sergeants and

twenty-five of the neatest officers
were chosen to go inside the ball
park and supervise the crowd.
At the main entrance to the ball
park Hubert Harris took his post
this morning at 8 O'Clock, marking
the beginning of his 18th year in
this position. In all that time he
has never missed an opening base
ball game here. And his one regret
today is that the President of the
United States will not pass him in
review.
At noon the actual festivities got
under way when the Myer Goldman
Band opened its goth season at the
ball park.
Park Is Renovated.
When the regular patrons visited
the ball park this afternoon they
hardly knew the old place. Every
thing has been done over, including
all the steelwork painted a fresh
springtime green. Pillars under the
grandstand are Immediately white.
New ladies' restrooms have been
added. New refreshment stands are
spotted around the pavilion en-
frances. Renovating the ball park
cost $40 900, according to Clark Grit
fifth, owner of the ball club.
Bucky Harris, manager of the
team, appeared at the ball park at
II o'clock and went into consulta-
ton with the club owners and at
noon sent the players out on the
field for batting and fielding prac-
tice.
BY / o'clock the bleachers had
filled up, but there were great gaps
in the first and second tiers of the
grandstand. Only about 1000 had
arrived at this hour to occupy the
choicer seats.

Mrs. Roosevelt Gets
D. A. R. Thanks for
Reception
Other Resolutions
Would Bar Fuscists
And Communists

The Daughters of the American
Revolution today thanked Mrs.
Roosevelt for her courtesy in ar
ranging their White House recep-
ton.
The resolution, one of Is passed
at the final morning session of the
society's 48th Continental Congress,
was framed. in the same words as in
previous years-ignoring the fact
that Mrs. Roosevelt was not to be
present at the reception this after
noon and that she resigned from
the society month ago. shortly
after the D. A. r. banned Constitu-
ton Hall for the Marian Anderson
concert.
Before the resolution came to a
vote, however, a delegate rose to
ask: did she arrange it?'
Mrs. Henry M. Robert, jr., presi-
dent general, responded: "Yes, I
would say she did arrange 1t because
there were many letters between
your president general and Mrs.
Roosevelt about it."
A Weak affirmative followed put
ting the question to q vote. Mrs.
Robert said, ITO this we will not
put the negative" A few moments
later, she interrupted the next
resolution to explain, THE negative
is never put on courtesy resolutions. >
Laughter and applause greeted her
comment.
When the next courtesy resolu-
ton was voted, thanking the press,
Mrs. Robert put the negative ques-
ton and Immediately apologized.

lutions adopted were those concern
ing alien forces in the United States,

portrait, continuation of the his
torical records survey of the Works
Progress Administration and re-
scinding of a resolution passed last
year to use Joyce Kilmer's Trees"
as the theme song of D. A. R. radio
programs.
The society's resolution on the
menace of 'Nazi-Fascism" read:
Whereas Nazi-Fascism Is an alien
philosophy striving in the United
States for domination through the
creation of racial diversion and
pressure fronts: Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the National So
ciety, Daughters of the American
Revolution, urge its members to
study the menace of Fascism and to
guard against its invasion of the
United States"
The proposed amendment to the
immigration Act of 1918, as amend
ed by the act of 1920, asked that the
words "or Fascists or Communists"
be added to the phrase excluding
entrance of aliens who are Com
munists."
