Tonight the diplomatic representa- tives of the score of latin American nations, with thelr brother delegates from every section of the United States, will be guests of honor at a reception at a country club. The morning session arougd the topic of gencral American and world relations. H. S.

I cannot tell the exact value of these utilities from his statement, but they would probably not exceed $5.000,000,- 000.

There is an honest man in Washington, and his honesty has gained for him a free grandstand seat at the opening game of the world series. This man, who happens to be E. H. Holkamp, head of the divi- sion of communications of the Bu- reau of Internal Revenue, received yesterday a letter addressed to one “V. W. Cannon, Treasury De- partment?’ Bearing the name of the Washington 'Base Ball Club, he knew the letter contained a world series ticket. He could easily have failed to exert himself to locate the addressee, whose name he could not locate on the various personnel lists, but he was an extremely honest man. For one full day and part of an evening he tried to locate V. W. Cannon finally learning that a man of that name had been em- ployed by the Department of Jus tice. He ascertained there that he had been transferred to the Inter- nal Revenue Bureau and with this definite clue, he finally, in person, delivered the fetter and ticket to its owner, who is a deputy collec- tor of internal revenue. “Have vou a ticket to the’ classic?” asked Cannon, after he had gotten over his surprise at receiving the supposedly lost ad- mission card. “Not yet, but I hope to,” Kolkamp replied. “Well, I've 8ot another for the first game, 80 consider yourself my guest at the opener,” said Cannon. exposing | Harris an e Giants th ther ho d his team mates 1d in the after- . %0 that they ecan ves to it at about s they will be playing The elders ial- to learn the positions or they will be completely w Nats smash out som. f their long flies Old Clark Griffith € der ti the same row the st o espe adinm has un- apparent change.

Traffic will probably be jammed on the roads between Baltimore and Washington, as more than 3,000 per- sons from the Maryland city alone }\\':l] attend the opening game, not to mention the hundreds who probably will motor in from other points in Maryland and Virginia. Parking | regulations around the stadium have { not been definitely worked out, but signs will warn motorists where they may or may not park when they ar- rive. Will Raise Pennant. Fitting ceremonies will mark the raising of the American League pen- nant to the top of the flagpole out beyond centerfield, just before the game tomorrow. Judge Landis, Clark Griffith, Bucky Harris and other offi- cials will march out to the flagpole, led by the United States Army Band. The Qquestion of who will actually raise the flag to the top of the pole has not been decided. Officials of the Washington club hope President Coolidge will accom- pany the p nd do that act him- self. If he not, however, either Judge Landis or Clark Griffith prob- ably will officiate. The fans, on the other hand, believe Bucky Harris, the man who piloted the team to victory, is the one to raise the pennant in the | absence 6f President Coolidge. Before the game can get under way there are many other little cere- monies to be attended to. For in- stance, Roger Peckingpaugh is to be presented with a Peerless automobile by Gov. Davis of Ohio. It is a gift from the fans of Cleve- land, Rajah’s home town, and the presentation will take place right out at home plate. Then there is the mat- ter of decorating Sam Rice with his war medal for gallantry at Vera Cruz. The record of his achievements in the Navy was not uncovered until his seats have | o the | | the hotels are beginning | born, and stated that “Federal ald has done more to stimulate good roads legislation and road improvement for States than all else combined.” J.

They were pre pared to place the proprietors under arrest as soon as a sale w made, | but business seemed to slacken up | considerably after the arrest of Bar- | nett. Proprietors of the agencies were not the only persons culpable in the | vos of the police, however. Under | the specific orders of Maj. Sullivan | | the police were prepared to arrest| any customer who sold a base ball | ticket at a profit to any of the! brokers or any one else, for they were | liablo not only to a charge of selling a ticket in excess of the established price, but to an additional charge by | Federal authorities of violating the | provision that ticket sellers must | split their profits with the Govern- ! ment. | It was this “ambiguous” point that revenue officials claimed the action | today of the Police Department was | not supported by law. “If ticket! speculators cannot sell a ticket in| excess of the established price how | are they going to split their profit| with the Government?” asked one| official, when informed of the police| move. ! The attitude of the municipal of- ficials, on the other hand, was that Congress, in enacting the excess price provision of the revenue law, was aiming a blow at ticket “scalp- ing,” and that the mushroom offices that have sprung up about the city. and particularly in the downtown [ section, are violating the intent of the law. : They feel, it was pointed out, that they are justified in putting the mat- ter up to the courts anyhow, and the necessary steps, therefore, were taken in short order. As the afternoon wore on it began to look as though the police and the remaining speculators would reach a deadlock. Numerous prospective cus- tomers were turned away by the speculators for the first time since they opened business. The jaunty, business-like air of the men behind the counters so prevalent earlier this morning and all day yesterday with- ered and died. wonderful batting for Washington stirred interest. Whether the presen- tation will take place tomorrow or Sunday, however, has not been de- termined. There is at least one other bit of ceremony to take place tomorrow, teo, before Walter Johnson can un- cork his first shoot at the alien Giants. All through the season the boys at Walter Reed Hospital, the driftwood from war's tempests, have enjoyed the game played here by the Griff- men as the guests of the team. Now they are going to show their grati- tude in a fitting manner. They have made a large silver urn, fashioned with their own hands, and a replica of the famous Paul Revere urn that is one of the most treasured relics in the possession of the Boston Museum. The Walter Reed boys have inscribed on their urn “Our Cham- pions” It will be presented to Bucky Harris for the entire team just be- fore the game tomorrow. MUTUAL SERVICE, Inc.
