UNIONS OUGHTTO
GET AFTER WALSH
By SENATOR"

It's high time for the labor unions of
America to bestir themselves and take
some sort Of action in the case Of Ed
Walsh, that Chicago pitcher.
OF all the men in baseball who ap-
parently have no RECORD for time. over
time. or extra time, this same Walsh
is the most Indifferent rooster OF mod
ern times. Like any twirler. Walsh is
supposed to have regular turn in the
tox, and If he followed this usual order
of things there would be no complaint.
But this slugger has the sort OF dis
position that prompts him 10 butt
in at the most inopportune times,
usually to the utter disgust and abso-
lutte disa ster Of the enemy.
Just as the bright rays OF hope could
be seen coming through the dark skies
CT disappointment at National Park yes
terday, and tire Nationals were starting
to hit stride that promised victory,
Mr.. Walsh broke into the contest like
a hero in melodrama.
Walsh was of no more use to the
White Sox than the four wheels and
the engine to an automobile. II, after
he made his leap into the fray, the Ma
uonals had a chance, it was not dis
cernible with the naked eye.
... Mr.. Benz Seen.
AS pitcher the Sox introduced a Mr..
Benz, who halls from Des Moines., His
club pulled UP in the st. Louis position
at the end Of the Western League sea-
son, but Benz won such a fair proper
ton of his games with narrowing sup
port, that he was gathered in by Chi
cago, and has done well since breaking
into baseball's 400.
He has a peculiar mill-wheel manner
of winding up which is not particularly
impressive, but he was so effective that
most Of the way he had the Nationals
stopped.
Five innings had been passed before a
Washington spike touched the home
rubber. Then it suddenly became ev-
dent that the finger with the automobile
name, was weakening and would need
life rope. Without any one giving
him orders, Mr.. Walsh began to warm
up, and in the next round, after three
hits and an error had put the Nationals
within striking distance OF the opposi-
ton, Mr.. Walsh walked out to the box.
During the remaining innings not a
single ball from a Washington bat pass
ed the infield, and four of the seven
would-be hitters who faced Walsh were
struck out. When 1t comes to dis
couraging Joy on foreign field this Walsh
person is the human wet blanket.
Tom hughes, for. the Nationals, did
not pitch the greatest game OF his
long, varied and somewhat tempestu-
Gus career, but he was going along in
pretty good shape and had the satis-
faction of allowing Chicago no more
hits than were made by the Nationals.
With Schaefer at his hospital a VIC
tim of cramps, II was necessary to
alter the Washington lineup, so Henry
was sent to first base with Street be-
hind the bat. Henry handled twelve
of his bakers dozen of chances.
Barrows, of the Sox, hasn't got much
coming on his fielding, but extensively
he was certainly a potent factor,
clouting out two hits and making three
runs.
From fielding Standpoint the game
was a ding-dong affair, there being
nothing remarkable in the way. of
stops or catches.
The Sox took the lead In the second
inning, when Barrows singled, ad-

Matt Wells defeats
Champion Abe Attell

NEW YORK, Sept 21.-AIl doubt Of
the skill and ring generalship possessed
by Matt Wells. the British lightweight
champion, has been dispelled from the
minds Of the Gotham followers OF box-

the ring weighing 1877 pounds, while At
tell tipped the beam at 121k. He out
guessed Attell, outboxed him, and proved
to be his equal In ring maneuvering. No
matter what the crafty Californian tried
to do, he failed. He could not break
through the guard of the Englishman.

sldestepping in order to get Wells to

Princeton Player
DiSlocateS Shoulder

PRINCETON, N. J., Sept. A.-Hot
weather and the poor condition of some
Of the candidates caused the coaches
to let up a little at Princeton at the
practices yesterday. Nothing but ele-
mentary tactics were tried, as the
work Of the majority of the squad was
very awkward, in the judgment Of the
coaches.
The first injury of the year put a
damper on the morning practice as Bat
ties, one Of the most promising candi-
dates for tackle, dislocated his shoul-
der while diving for the ball. This
will probably keep him out of the game
for q month at least.
A short signal drill was held after a
strenuous few minutes of breaking
through the line for the forwards. Tom
Wilson, who played a guard last year,
went TO the tackle today, and McCor-
mick was at the other tackle. Blue
thenthal was at his old position at the
pivotal point, while WiEants and Nc
Lean played the guards. Farr took
quarter and showed lots of snap, while
Pendleton. Dewitt and Sawyer made up
the remainder of the back field. White
and Wight once more were on the ends
and they promise to make a splendid
pair for these important positions.

' Those fans who jumped on Tom Long
yesterday for his poor throw deserve
caustic criticism for their blind thought
lessness. Long is a young lad, just
what those same Fans are always howl
ing for, playing his first few games ir
fast company. He may be expected rc
pull plays like that now and then, but
he should not be slammed and hammer
ed for doing so. The main trouble with
some folks who go to the ball park
here is that their knowledge of the
game Is derived largely from the funny
pictures in the papers rather than from
what they may see on the field. No win
ming team was ever built up in the face
of jeers and sneers. The Washington
management Is trying to build up a

LAW IS HELD ILLEGAL
Boise Mayor Fights Commission Form
of Government.


Boise.-The fate of the law on the
commission form of government,
passed by the last Legislature, now
rests with the supreme court. The
law has been submitted to that tri-
bunal to test its constitutionality in
the case entitled Harry Kessler vs.
Harry K Friedman, mayor of Boise,
in which the right to submit the COM
mission form of government for adop-
tion or rejection by the electors OF
Boise is involved.
The commission law was attacked
by Mayor Friedman on the ground
that it is unconstitutional in that it is
not complete enough to be operative,
that it permits and is class legislation,
and that under it's meaning and intent
the issue OF adopting the commission
government form can only be submit
ted at general election in November
1t was also asserted by the mayor that
as Boise has a special charter it does
not come within the jurisdiction of the
commission law.
