Meusel had a count of one and two when he walloped a liner to deep right on which Rice ran back to grab with a leaping one-hand stab. Sam’s feat was heartily applauded.

RECREATION BODY HEARSPRESIDENT Coolidge, in Address to Joint Conference, Pleads for Tourists. • Consideration of the growing prob lem of accommodations for motor tourists was asked by President Coolidge today of the American Civic Association, the American Institute of Park Executives and the American Park Society in an address at the White House to delegates attending the joint conference of those organ izations here. Members of the associations had gathered here for a three-day dis cussion of the development and use of national. State and municipal parks. Their meetings were concluded today. In addressing the delegates Mr. Coolidge said he took the liberty of suggesting consideration of the prob lem of accommodations in behalf of the community as well as the motor ists and because he believed It had not yet received in most localities the attention it deserved. Pledges t. S. Support. Pledging tlie support of the Gov ernment to civic and welfare activi ties. the President reminded the dele gates this must take the form prin cipally of example and encourage ment, while the policies and methods in dealing with recreational interests must be the concern more of local government. "The movement which you repre sent," Mr. Coolidge declared, “demon strates again that our government belongs to the people and functions for the people. It is agother example of activities not for a few' but for the public, for all who choose to avail themselves of what the government offers them. It is the true American way of a government conducted to serve all the people.” Recreation, the President declared, is necessary in the accomplishment of constructive and happy work. More and better work is possible, he said, when accompanied by more and better play. Citing the numerous parks and playgrounds now available in the cities and the public reserva tions and good roads In the country, he lauded the organizations for their accomplishments for recreation. His address in full follows: “It occurs to me as 1 greet you ladies and gentlemen of the American Civic Association, and the American Institute of Park Executives, that you are engaged in a worthy and wholly unselfish effort to help the people to get the most possible cut of life. On the whole, people are apt to get more or less of satisfac tion out of existence, according, as they put more or less of useful effort into it. The American Civic Associ ation represents a broad program which aims at bettering the living cowlitions. the entire physical sur roundings, of the people. One finds in its program somthing of the gen eral idea of taking to city life as much as possible of the best that country life affords; and in return, of giving to country life so much as may be feasible of the best ele ments that contribute to existence in the city. It is a good and a wise program, certain to bring large bene fits to both country and city, if it is wrought into the substance of prac tical accomplishments. Recreation Vital. “Modern society has its definite sets of problems of both the country and the city* In general, you who are en gaged in this work are better able to state them than I am. But I take it that we will all agree that city life needs the opportunities of natural recreation, of freedom to move about, of fresh air and sunshine, of relief from congestion and noise. There was a time not so long ago when we would have added that the city peo ple needed better sanitation and more healthful surroundings; but the prog ress of municipal sanitation has been such that in this regard the well ad ministered city is now shown by Its health records to be better oft than some of the open country. The coun try needs the social privileges and the opportunities of community life which are at once the advantage and attraction of the city. The country needs more effective social. Intellec tual and . industrial co-operations, without sacrificing its individualism. The city needs freer play for the in stinct of individualism, but wants to achieve it without sacrificing the ben efit of community co-operations. “Both city and country have, in re cent decades, made long and impres sive strides toward their respective goals.

ADMISSIONS ON SALE BY 5 THIS AFTERNOON Griffith Announces Full Procedure for Fans to Follow to Get Seats. IF WASHINGTON WINS TODAY— There will be a hot time at the old park tonight. Between 30,000 and 35,000 fans, seething in lines kept orderly by po lice reserves, will storm the gates, holding on for dear life to the little identification stubs which had been attached to tickets for the game to day, and which will become certifi cates for preference in getting re served seats for the seventh and de ciding contest. The assault on the gates will start one hour after Wash ington has won the sixth game. And then, on through the night the sleepless thousands will be crowding nearer and nearer to the 17 booths where lie the coveted pasteboards for grandstand, box and pavilion seats for the affray tomorrow. At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning the identification checks will revert again to the status of scraps of paper. From that time forward the motto will be - First come, first served. Urißtk Announcement. The last-minute announcement of Clark Griffith, president of the Ameri can League champions, today was; "Here's the line-up for tickets. If there Is to be a seventh game, booths will open one hour after the game ends today. Th*y will remain open all night and until 10 o’clock tomor row morning for the express and ex clusive accomodation of those who hold identification stubs that are now attached to tickets for the sixth game. These stubs will be returned like rain checks at the gate to those who enter today. After 10 o'clock to morrow morning, the tickets that re main will be placed on sale. From that point on, it will be: 'First come, first served.’ ” The most efficient scientific arrange ments have been attempted in an effort to make sure of accommodating the estimated 32,000 holders of the identification stubs. Even pre-sup posing (hat there were 34,000 identifi cation stubs out. officials at the park have made arrangements for 17 ticket sellers at the Georgia avenue entrance and at the Bohrer street en trance. This means ttiat 2.000 would have to be accommodated by each ticket seller. And if the ticket sellers sell two tickets a minute, which gives them time to take money, see identification stub and make change, they can just barely dispose of 2,040 tickets in the 17 hours. This is all based on the presumption that Wash ington will win the sixth game at 4 o'clock this afternoon and that the ticket sale will start at 6 o'clock for holders of identification stubs. - Instant Change* Planned. E. B. Enyon, secretary of the Washington Base Ball Club, says that he doesn't see why ticket sellers should have any trouble doing this. In case of a jam-up, however, it was stated, arrangements will be made on the instant to take care of the neces sary additions. At any rate, there’ll be a hot time at the park tonight. Imagine this group of rabid rooters standing throughout the night In the line for tickets. There's going to be small chance for sleep, for the line will be in perpetual motion. There's going to be some mighty long serpentine trails from each box-office window stretching down to Georgia avenue and weaving around Florida avenue for blocks. It'll be great days for the "hot dawg” and "java'’ peddlers. Scalpers SHU Busy. Ticket scalpers were still plying their trade today. Offers ranging to sls for one grandstand seat for to day’s game were current, with prices ranging down for other seats. And then, special offers, conditional and otherwise, were being made for the Identification stubs alone. This is a pure gamble on Washington’s chances of winning today. But the stubs alone brought up to $5, provid ed Washington won. and $1 or $2 with no strings at all attached to the of fer. If there is such a person as a civic physician with a civic thermometer, he could ehsily find that the civic fe ver temperature of Washington today is around 108 degrees, with the city still stirring about. And now, regarding the non-re served bleacher seats. They will, as usual, be placed on sale at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning, and no difficulty is expected in filling the orders from the 2,700 fans for the sun gardens long before starting time for the game. As usual also, the standing-room only line will be held outside until about half an hour before the start of the game.
