NOT IN
LIQUOR FIGHT

OLYMPIA, Jan. 20.-The saloon
forces are making an effort all over
the state to drag the labor unions
into the local option fight, and the
well worn battle cry that 1.-The sa-
loon is the poor mans club" is be-
ing heard.
Whatever success the wet"
forces may have in convincing
members of labor unions that the
saloon is their friend, they will get
no official support in their fight.
Neither will the anti-saloon league
be assisted by the union labor
body.
The attitude of. the men who are
sent here by the state federation
of labor is that the local option
fight is of no more interest to la
Dor than any other matter that may
come before the legislature. They
contend that individual members
of their unions have their opinions
on this subject and as individuals
they may express them and work
for their ends. But the state fed
Grafton will have nothing to do
with the fight between the VETS"
and "drys" under any considera-
ton. They are here solely for

RIOTERS BAND GETS

were five of us, including Cans
and Nelson, in closed room, in
the office of the Minneapolis Daily
News. The fighters were trying to
come to terms for the fight which
resulted in Nelson regaining his
laurels.
Cans was tauntingly overbear-
ing. He wanted all the money
and he wanted to dictate, into the
bargain.
Now, Bat" he would say, a.
- -, you know you're no
card. If you and I fight it'll be me
that'll do the drawing. You cant
draw a crowd and you know it..
You're licked man. What does
the public care for a licked MANI"
This was a pretty severe taunt,
especially from Cans.
But Nelson never lost his poise.
You'll find out whether I'm a
card, joe he replied. Il can
draw as many people as you, and
I'm entitled to as much money as
you are, If beat you"
Then Cans would sheer in a
nasty fashion, as if the possibility
of Nelson defeating him didn't ex-
list.
Nelson's self control was mar
velous I thought at the time that
Nelson didn't sass" back because
he was afraid Cans would want to
fight right then and there, and that
Nelson didn't want to mix with
him. ] was wrong, as their subse-
quent fights disclosed.
Nelson's self education, his pol
ish and his self control serve to
put him above the level of the
average fighter.
1t wouldn't hurt a lot of young
fellows to be in the ring, If their
experiences would benefit them in
as many ways as have Bat Mel
| sons.

confided to me that when the ball
was approaching him it grew
smaller and smaller, seeming to
lose its character as a solid sphere
and having the appearance of a
marble in a nebulous haze, as the
sun appears at times.
"All Hurricane ever admitted
was that he smeared the ball with
a secret preparation, which gener-
ated a gaseous haze when the ball
was thrown at the terrific speed,
which only he possessed, making
it appear smaller than it really
was and giving the man at bat a
minute target to swing on.

LAS you can imagine, with such
a pitcher, we easily won another
championship. Hurricane Harri
son became the sensation of the
league, and his disappearing BALI
was the wonder of the game. He
was drafted by Chicago, and would
have made them dizzy in the big
league if he hadn't thrown out his
arm that winter while playing
with a transforming aggregation.
The last l saw of him he was
barking for a snake charmer, and
could talk almost as fast as he
could pitch in the old days"

base ball as manager and player,
l saw a lot of freaks" said Sport
Lowrey, land not a few phenoms, ?"
he added, ruminatingly. when
'Catapault' Cathertons arm ex-
ploded l was in bad. l didn't have
a classy pitcher.
But l was lucky in those days
and ran across a youngster named
Harrison. He was physical cul-
ture shark, and l first saw him
pitching to a fellow who wore a
glove as big as mattress, and
when l saw Harrison let loose |
opined that the backstop needed
the big mitt all right. Say, for
simon pure speed, that youngster
had anything l ever seen beaten to
Roosevelt fragile. l signed him
that night, and he reported in the
spring, fit to the minute.
We'll, sir, when Harrison began
shooting 'em over to Pin Lawson,
the vet yelled. He wouldn't work
with the youngster until l bought
him special glove, and he always
wore big chunk of raw beef in his
palm, to take away the sting. When
he was fixed up he used to grin
like the mummy of old Rameses II
when he coached Hurricane as he
called Harrison. When he grabbed
a fast ball Pink was Jared to his
heels, but he was game and would
call for a curve that broke like Joe
Letters corner in wheat.
"The first day of the season l
turned the kid loose, and what he
did was shame. He had those
400 hitters swinging like a pea
cock tail fan over an eastern poten-
tate's head. And that's the way it
was for couple of months.
Toward the middle of the season
the good hitters began to get wise
to his speed and would get a hit
once in a while. And then he really
showed what pitcher he was.
"One day, when we were play
ing Sandy Gulch, the last game of
hot series, Hurricane came to
me and said, Sport, keep your eye
on the pill when l begin to smoke
'em over. I'll show you something
new. And he did. In the second,
with a man on second and the best
hitter in the league up, he turned
loose a high fast ball, across the
inside corner, that Travelled so fast
it looked like two cent Whitley.
When Pink caught the ball l saw
him lok at it, then at Harrison and
then back at the ball. Then he
walked toward the box, and the two
held a pow WOW.
when he went back to his place
'Pink's' grin seemed to reach to his
ears. He called for another fast
ball, and it came like a rifle shot
l watched again, and right before
my eyes it grew smaller and
smaller as it travelled, and when
the man at bat swung, he missed it
The. kid kept up his terrific speed
and although the Sandy Gulch play
ers and the umpire thought he was
substituting a smaller ball in some
manner, they could not detect hin
in the act, and he continued Il
burn 'em over like lightning, unit
the game was over.
"Afterward l talked with him
but all he would say was that i
was his secret. Pink Lawson
