Detroit. May Jimmy Callahan.
manager of the White Sox. expects Ed
Walsh to break Cy Young's record as
a pitcher. Callahan insists Walsh will
be as great a pitcher in ten years as
he is today. and that in point of games
won will go above the marx set by
the veteran who is with the Boston
Nationals.
Walsh has a perfect pitching mo
ton; he doesn't try to work the batter
by throwing waste balls; his DISPOSE
ton is of the best: his habits couldn't
be improved upon-there isn't any
thing too good for me to say about
Walsh" says Callahan.
II is the best pitcher in baseball.
There isn't any question in my mind
as to that. He has the ability. He
could a manager ask? A manager
does not have to tell Walsh to d. any
thing. A little story wi. illustrate the

Walsh Slides Like Other Good Men.
When the SoN We're training at
Waco this spring. there was a young
pitcher on the team who was disposed
to the belief that pitchers We're wor-

other players. In practice one day 1
stepped to the plate and told his re-
cruit to slide when going into first
base
LAS turned way heard the re-
cruit exclaim:
Good mother of earth. does that
guy expect us pitchers to slide?'
II didn't respond. Walsh was on
second. and when the pitcher hit the
ball Ed was off for third. and without
instructions he slid into the bag.
The recruit didn't saya anything. He
couldn't.

Harry Lord is another fellow much

thing that will serve to the interests
of the SoN. There wasn't "a harder
worker in the south than Lord. I'm
like many star players he didn't be-

believed in putting himself in proper
condition. He believed he had to. He
wanted to serve his team. and believ-

With fellows like Walsh and Lord

to the tune of 4 TO 3.
The newspaper boys got their three
scores in the last half of the fourth

have kept the game under their wings.
However, no such luck. and the battle
was presented to the physical culture

Moore was allowed to roost on first
by d short throw by Wilson. The
next W men struck out. Bridson was
and scored. Bridson stole second and
came home on Goodwin's hit. Good
win was put out stealing second. but
the game was won. The ncwspaper-
men could not make good in their
half of the inning.
In the last of the fourth il certainly
looked as though the printers would

SEATTLE, Jan. 13.-They only
had a nickel left. They could
buy a loaf of bread for that.
But that would have been a sad
Christmas dinner for young Mrs.
Leroy Osborne, bride of three
months.
So Leroy Osborne, 25, took a

friend of his, and also dead

bilities of that sumptuous Christ

He told him about big trunk in

belonging to travelling man. So
they both helped themselves.
Tomorrow both Burns and Os-
borne will plead guilty to a lar

only by borrowing money from
friends that they finally were
able to get to Seattle a week or

There wasn't any chance for

tried to get a job as cook. Mrs.

Burns did. But they failed.
So, after the Osbornes and

Stricken with paralysis which

and which has since rendered her
blind, little Mary Hornig, 5-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry. Hornig, 1106 South ST.,
is puzzling the best physicians
of the northwest.
Experts in Tacoma and Seattle
have examined the child and none
have so far been able to discov-

to give her back those priceless

Suddenly she was taken ill. Aft

slipped to the floor and cried:
"Oh, mamma, can't walk"
She had lost the use of her
legs. She could not hop and
skip around the house, playing
and aiding her mother in the
home work. The alienists were
called and were puzzled.

The family moved from Seat

Captain Benuder and his wife
and daughter and three sailors
left the ship this morning.
The Admiral was blown against
the jetty by the rising gale short
ly before noon and the crew
scrambled on to the structures
and clung there while tho ship
bumped toward the shore.
The Wallula was sent out and
succeeded in getting a line onto
the deserted vessel. The tug was
towing her back toward the chan
mel when she turned turtle.
Whether the three men aboard
her were members of the tugs S
crew or of the Admiral is not
known.
The Admiral, III feet in
