MARVEL IN ANIMAL SOUND
Traveller Writes FeeIlnsIy of Wonder.
fuI Bray Put Forth by the
Donkeys Of China.

In all the east today the donkey is a
fayorite means of transportation, both
for travellers and commercial burdens.
1t was 80 in the days of the patriarchs,
Isaac and Jacob, and so 1t will remain
probably for ages to come. But moth
ing in China is just like the same thing
anywhere else in the world, the don
key being no exception. DR.. Chester
of Nashville says: Their gait Is a
rough, insufferable jog, and their bray
is unique phenomenon.
"The power of heredity, working
through millenniums Of isolation, with
no modification from foreign admix-
ture, has developed in the bray of the
Chinese donkey quality all its own.
There are no words in English to de-
scribe the heartrending pathos Of it.
1t was as If an appeal to heaven
against the cruelty and oppression of
ages were at last finding utterance in
one long, loud, undulating wall. And
when our party of three met another
party of six and all nine of the don.

the compliments of the day, then
pathos gave place to terror and one
could only sit appalled, and trembling

away on its journey round the world

Hal Chase Says Walter johnson
Is Greatest Pitcher Of All Time

rushes up to the home depot inviting
you to take a nice healthy swing at 1t.
Then it hops. and you look around at
the catchers and laugh. It's just as
easy for him to pitch a ball game as II
is TO sit in the rocker and smoke a
pipe It's a wide statement to make,
but I consider Johnson the best pitcher
of all time. although he has not the
records as yet which some of the other
hurlers have. But as 1 have said be
fore I look for him to equal it this
year in spite Of the fact that he is go
ing to have some rough going
What has made Johnson better
than ever is the fact that he has mas
tered a curve ball and a slow one
It's hard TO call the turn on him. and
If you do when he is using the fast
ball It makes no difference. Baseball
fans throughout the United States
have been watching Johnson Tor iong
time, but they passed him up when he
did not have a good club to work with
him. Now there is a good nine in
Washington. and he is going to hang
up a great record
There is a great deal in the dope
that Johnson has something on club
before he starts. What is more, he can
be worked against any ball club Some
pitchers are only effective against GER
tain clubs. but not Johnson do not
think there will be another pitcher pro-
duced who has the speed that the
Washington hurler has. I think most
of the players in the American league
will tell you the same thing"
