Secretary Long, Secretary of State
Graves, State Treasurer Creamer and

that this method will prevent mem
bers OF the legislature under suspicion
from escaping through an immunity

At a conference between Speaker
Vining of the house and the detec-
tives he was told by the detectives
that Representative Nye had told
them that Vining could be bought for

IL must be true that ball players are
born and not made. True, all OF them
need 10 have the rough edges taken
Off and experience to perfect them. but
a good ball player is usually so from
the time he starts out.
In Henry, Washington has picked up
a player who Is sure 10 shine, and no
one excepting Scout Mike Kahoe de
serves credit for his being with the
team.
Kahoe was sent 10 Amherst TO look
over a pitcher named Mcclure. He
saw him and dismissed him from his
mind, because he did not think that
he was cut out for n major league ca
reer. But II was the big. husky young
ster who was catching him that Mt
tracted Kahoe's attention. and he i'm
mediately laid lines 10 secure him. SO
instead OF bringing back the man he
was sent after Kahoe secured Henry,
and in so doing he probably brought a
player who will do much TO make the
Nationals a winning aggregation.
