DECAULLE GIVEN
U.S.. RECOGNITION
WASHINGTON, July II. @R

WASHINGTON, July II. -R -
President Roosevelt announced to
day that ne has reached an under
standing w 18th Gen. Charles d.
Gau1le under which the French
leaders committee at Algiers will
be the working authority for civil
administration of metropolitan
France.
Thus the main problem Of Fran
co American relations during the
fighting for the liberation Of
France has been solved, the Presi
dent said at his news conference
The untangling of a controversy
which has flared intermittently be-
tween De Gaulle and this govern
ment for over two years came al
Mr.. Roosevelt's two face-to-face
talks with the French leader late
last week.
The President S d the under.
standing will be set down in a
memorandum which will be signed
by De Gaulle, the United States
and presumably Britain.
The draft agreement negotiated
in London by Britain and the
French committee will be the ba'
sis for the new arrangement, the
President said, but it will be re-
written. -,
In effect, the understanding will
give De Gaulle virtual government
al powers but Roosevelt empha.
sized that it is not to be formal
agreement. When a reporter asked
if the authority agreed upon for
De Gaulle made the French
committee a provisional govern
ment, the President replied that
he had not said that.
As President Roosevelt explained
the arrangement, General Dwight
D. Eisenhower as supreme allied
commander will nave clear au'
thority to take all steps necessary
in his Judgment for military oper'
ations and driving the Germans
from French soil.
It will be up to General Eisen,
hover to declare which zones are
ready for civilian administration
and which will remain under mill
tarv control because of battle
needs.
The question Of currency, which
has been point in dispute between
the French and this government
has not yet been settled, the Presl'
dent said.

Army Removes Eviction
DeadIine For Hotel Tenants


CHICAGO, Oct. 3 = (ANP) i
Maj. Gen. Henry S, Aurand, COM
manding general of the Sixth serv-
ice command, granted 200 tenants
of the Pershing hotel here an in
definite stay last week, thereby re-
moving the old Sept. 80 eviction
deadline which was set by the army
a few weeks ago in preparation OF
seizing the south side borderline
hotel for an all-Negro redistribu
tion center for overseas veterans.
''In view Of the difficulty expert
enced by those tenants in finding
other places of residence
stated Gen. Aurand, "the federal
marshal was instructed by the divi-
sion engineer, Great Lakes division,
U. S. army, that Saturday, Sept. 80,
was not to be considered as a dead
line for moving the tenants from
the hotel.
''It is not the desire of the army
that unnecessary hardship be ex-
perienced by those tenants. Rather,
it is hoped that some means of
their making a satisfactory trans
fer to other quarters will be found
expeditiously. The army is in ur-
gent need of the premises for use
by our returned soldiers. It is
therefore imperative that the ten
ants find new quarters at the earli-
st possible date"
Announcement of the army's
new decision was timed with the ar.
rival here of Truman K. Gibson
civilian aide to the secretary Of
war, who is slated to make a survey
as means Of finding solution t(
the hotel dispute, which has al
ready aroused a cross-section of 10
cal leaders. The result of his surve.
findings may determine the basi'
plan for the army's future polio.
of securing suitable Redistribution
centers for Negro soldiers.
While it is understood that tn
effectiveness of the new army plal
will depend entirely upon the reac
tions of the communities involved
Gibson revealed two major factor
the army will consider in the flu
ture.
1. The question of whether Ne
gro soldiers should be sent t
southern or northern re-distribU
tion centers is still controversial
although Gibson revealed he ha
opposed the move to send them t
southern centers because ments
relaxation was impossible in sue
an environment.

BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-Right now
it's harder to cast than was Gone
With the Wind" but baseball'a
supershow, the World Series, again
will be filmed and shipped overseas
to sports-hung servicemen.
Lew Fonseca, American League
promotional director, announced
today that a crew of Is cameramen
and technicians will shoot thousands
of film feet to capture pictorially the
series which opens October 4 at st.

upon the outcome Of the current
roman-candle pennant scrap In the
American League-hundreds Of
prints of q two-reel sound movie

forces throughout the world.
Fonseca said filming of the 1s43
series, which he described as a
smash hit from the moment it was
introduced, has been shown to more
than 3,5O0,000 servicemen. There
were 500 prints sent to ships at sea,
to Iceland, Australia, the European
front. Southwest Pacific and South
America. In addition, it has been
viewed bv 2,000. 600 civilian fans.
Servicemen will get the first peek
at the 1914 movie, Fonseca said, and
explained it won't be ready for
civilian distribution until after the
first of the year.
He estimated q minimum of $4,000
feet of film and perhaps as many
as Is, 900 feet will be ground out to
pack baseball's annual dramatic CHI
max into 2,O00-foot finished product.

Birch E. Bayh and 1t. Hardy Pearce

scene with innovations such as the
football spot game" in which the
best game of the week was spotted
for Saturday. He also introduced a
foolproof play-of system in the
schoolboy baseball series and sched-
uled this seasons games for seven
innings, which may have helped to
make the 1914 season one of the
liveliest in years.

which was away down in the South
ern Association fight, and may be
in need of further polish. He is
likely to accompany the Washington
club on its last swing through the
inland sector, though, so that he
may become acquainted with big
league baseball.
The final drive through the West,
due to get under way a week from
today, may find the Mats playing
important roles in the torrid strug-
gle for the American League PEN
nant. They will open their trip with
a three-game series against the St
Louis Browns, the club they beat in
three Of four games here last month,
and wind it up with a four game
set against the Detroit Tigers.
In Important Role.
What the Mats do in these two
series easily could bear heavily on
the outcome of the tightest flag
chase the league ever has had.
Adding to the Importance of the
Mats remaining engagements is the
three-game series with the Boston
Red Sox opening here Friday night,
series that will close the Mats
home campaign.
To have his club fit for this big
bunch of games, Manager Os Bluege
intends to have it drilling here
tomorrow and Thursday, following
its exhibition with the Bluejackets
at the Norfolk Naval Training Sta
ton today.

Two pitchers who tried to make
the grade with the Mats at the Col
lege Park training camp last spring
are back with the club and this time
one may get chance to prove his
worth next year. Vernon Curtis re-
turned from his test job with Min
neapolis yesterday and so did Oil
vrio Ortiz. back from Chattanooga
and Curtis could be a promising re-
cruit.
Turkey, as the lanky Curtis is
casually known to his baseball
mates, showed good fast ball at
the training camp and in the Amer
ican Association this season did
pretty well for a club that finished
next to last in the race. He came
to the Mats first from Atlanta of
the Southern Association where he
had made a keen record, despite
being overworked by a club that
wasn't getting anywhere.
Loses Rough Edges.
His toll in the American Associa-
ton has taken off the rough edges,
according to Clark Griffith, Mats
president. and Curtis probably will
get trial or two as the Mats make
their last swing of the season
through the West.
Ortiz, a younger brother of Ro-
berto, outflelder with the Mats, is
something else. He had his diff

needs but one game to clinch the
title after battling Bristol to a 6-6
tie in a game called in the sixth
inning last night because of rain.
Stars of the Brewers last-minute
triumph over the Bombers were Joe
Freschi and Pepco Barry, a couple
of veterans who were playing ball
in Washington when Umpire
"Shooey" Shoemaker broke into the
game 81 years ago, according to

lar first baseman, went on the
mound as the fourth Washington
pitcher, succeeding Buck Scrivsner,
Lefty Mcintyre and Jack Barry, to
emerge the winning hurler after
scoring on double by Pepco.
The Washington nine had tied UP
the ball game in the top half of
the ninth when Elmer Leukhart
singled to drive in Chet Ciomei and
make it 6-an, and set the stage for
Frieschi's Merriwell performance in
