ed to talk as much about himself as
a fighter is supposed to be, and READY
to admit that he likes the 1ghtlng
game
Willard confided that he expects to
fight in Kansas City sometime soon,
although he didn't tip off any addition
al details. He is mighty proud OF the
fact that 400 bugs journeyed from the
vicinity of Emmett, st. Marys ana
other neighboring towns to see him
the week he did a turn at a Kansas
City theater.
Meanwhile, there's just one burden to
Wizards lay. That is McCarty. He
wants to fight McCarty so bad that
he dreams about it. And to one in
the above mentioned sticks it seems
that the Clay Center scrapper should
at least try to keep The championship
in Kansas.
Note to Mr.. McCarty-why not take
day off and come in? 1t won't hurt
any to get acquainted.

Presidential Push Endorsed.
New York Tribune.)

1t is all well enough for president
to isolate himself when the opposition
controls one or both branches of con-
gress. But when a president and a
congress have been chosen at the same
election to carry out some definite
party program, the theory of aloofness
falls to the ground. 1t is just as much
to the presidents interest as it is to
that of his party associates in CON
gress that legislation carrying party
pledges into effect should be accom-
plished with as much expedition ana
as little friction as possible.The best
time to reconcile differences of opin-
ion is beofre the measures which are
to express the party's purpose are put
into shape. If congress knows what
the president wants, it is easy enough
to get somewhere. Talk about the
necessity of keeping absolutely sepa-
rate the functions of the executive and
legislative departments is no longer
convincing. The people are not stick
lers for constitutional Journalism. They
went results, and can see plainly
enough that it is now desirable %
bring about a much fuller co-opera-
ton between the two departments.
This applies to federal housekeeping
as we'll as to tariff and currency legis-
lation. Mr. Wilson only shows a live
" appreciation of the drift of things
when he puts aside a convention which
has hitherto unduly hampered the gov
ernmental efficiency.

BUSH MAY BEAT COBB'S
RECORD ON THE PATHS

Detroit, Mich, April 2l.-Donie Bush
the Tigers minute shortstop, intends
to take a leaf from Ty Cobb's book
il running the bases this year.
When l get on those sacks" says
DOME. II am going to run until they
put me out. Taking chances seems ,
be the way to get reputation as a
baserunner, and | ought to have just
as much nerve as any of them. Yoa
will notice that whenever Cobb, Speak
err. Milan or any other speed demon
starts to dash around the fielders get
all fused up and seem unable to
make plays that would be cinch with
anybody else attempting the daredevil
stuff.
Time and again have seen the men
who have regulations as the leading
path navigators of this league get away
safely when apparently caught in
trap. Either the ball will bound bad
ly if the outfielder is throwing it l.,
or the infielder will muff peg. Any
how, something happens and the man
is safe
Bush agrees with a number of well
posted baseball critics that more err.
rors are made on throwing balls than
on anything else Get them heaving i,
around and it seems that sooner or
later somebody will falter and the base
runner will profit in consequence. De-
troit fans have frequent demonstra-
tions of this fact in the way Cobb
dashes around the paths Often he is
caught squarely between bases and
apparently is a dead bird" but by
worrying the men who are trying %
catch him, escapes very large percen,
tage of the time.
Eurh's ambition to be reckoned with
the leaders of the pilfering crew wild
be aided by his speed AS DOME has
been on the same club with Tyrus
many persons overlook the fact in Their
admiration of the more spectacular
Georgian that the little shortstop rs
one of the bestest men in baseball. He
doesn't get down to first base quite as
rapidly as Ty, because he lacks the
Peach's knack of hitting the ball whit.
in his stride toward the initial turn.
But once on the bases DOME can run
about as fieetly as almost anybody.
What the midget really needs to be-
Soiuc d star DdSeI unher 10 siulnS doil-
ity. At present he can slide only on
ont side, but he is putting in lot OF
time developing hitting the dirt, AMI
seems to be improving. He never has
been very good at getting back TO first
base. and for that reason hasn't been
able to get the lead that makes for
successful pilferings Of the next sta
ton, but he is learning that, too.
