MAPS WOULD BUY
, PITCHER JIM SHAW
Scout Redy Prepared Offer $4,000 for Youngser Who Is
Declared to Be the Best Minor League Twrer Seen This
Year-Grff Refuses Navin's Offer.
By SENATOR"

CLEVELAND. Ohio, Aug. 1s-The
Maps are willing to pay $4,000 for Jim
Shaw, the Griffmen's rookie pitcher
farmed out to York in the Tri=State
League. Indeed, Bill Reidy, the former
infielder and minor league manager,
scouting for Cleveland, was prepared to
offer this amount for Shaw a few weeks
ago until he discovered that the young
stF belonged to the Washington club.
Inquiries showed him that Clark Grif-
fifth would not consider parting with the
young twirler.
This Shaw is the best minor league
pitcher 1 have seen this year" says
Reidy, who is enthusiastic over his
work in York. Il watched him pitch
three or four games and was willing
to pay as high as $4,000 for him right
as he is. He has something to learn,
Of course, but he is a second Walter

box and almost the same speed.

When asked about this proposition,
Manager Griffith gave one of those
dry laughs of his and said: Not a

got a promising kid in Shaw. and I'm
going to keep him. Cleveland hasn't

sent the veteran back to Minneapolis.
Tom wants to become an umpire in the

the American Association and would

FANS AIR VIEWS

Offer Suggestions Getting Detroit Star outede and Man,
Other Hints for What They Think Would Prove Beneficial
to Them During Baseball Games Here.

Letters from fans continue to come
in discussing the purchase Of Ty Cobb
and offering several suggestions for
their betterment during games here.
Several suggestions sent In today fol-
low:
1T is at least refreshing land some
what unusuaD TO realize that at least
the real fans OF this city can rely on
one newspaper to faithfully present
their views for discussion among those
who have in times past paid the fiddler
whenever the worthy ball club thought
1t could work the squeeze play which
1t did to the queens taste on that
memorable ID of August, last.
PERSONALLY I was not stung on this
occasion. as sit among the boys In the
5O-cent pavilion. but just as long as
theatrical politics are applied to base
ball financiers you will hear the rumb-
llngs Of dissatisfaction whenever base
ball is mentioned.
And now We are asked to contribute
to fund to bring Tyrus the Great TO
this city. Why, oh. why. did you send
Goldberg 20 Europe to study the boobs
abroad when we have so many at lib
erty in this city without a guardian ?
If the Washington baseball club really
needs the money it is missing its
golden opportunity to get many an
extra quarter without imposing upon
those who are supporting our club at
present, as they have in the past.
The average attendance at games in
this city is between 5000 and 1000
Especial occasions and holidays except

accommodate 1900, we have from II 900
to 1900 vacant seats. Now why not
admit boys UP to sixteen years for 25

quired?

Chicago negotiated Its single tally in

latter opened with a double and was

PROGRESSIVE VIEWS
ARE WIDE APART

Trenton, July 2S.-In the opinion of
Ex-Governor E. C. Stokes, who is a
probability for the Republican guber-
Material nomination, ex-senator Ever
ett Colby and Edmund B. Osborne.
Progressive candidates for the nomi-
nation for Governor, are wider apart
than are the Republican and Progress
sive parties.
Mr.. Stokes made this assertion in
commenting upon the speech made
last Thursday night by Mr.. Colby. Mr..
Stokes asserted that if the two Pro-
gressives believe in the policies they
have enunciated one could not support
the other without sacrifice of princi-
pie to expediency. The Ex-Governor
also declared that Mr. Colby's ideas
do not justify the third party move
ment. He said in part:
Senator Colby's suggestion in regard
to land taxation is, as he says, an echo
of Lloyd-George, and is, l presume,
sop to the Osborne Cerberus in this
campaign. The subject, of course, is
one of mere agitation. Enactment of
such law as Senator Colby suggests
would be clearly unconstitutional
Outside of this one provision there
is scarcely a policy Senator Colby ad-
vocates which is not distinctly Re-
publican and which has not been from
time to time advocated by Republicans
and which may not be a part of the
Republican platform.
Mr.. Osborne's platform is radical
departure from the present policy of
both old parties.
Senator Colby's speech, viewed in a
calm, judicial light, is really strong
argument for the union of the two ele-
ments of the Republican party.

AFTER THE
SPEEDING MOTORS

Trenton, N. j., July 29.-Job B. Lip
pincott, State Motor Vehicle Commits
sioner, addressed a communication to
the various police departments of the
State asking cooperation with the
State department for the better pro-
lection of life and property on the
highways. He asked particularly that
the local departments assist him in
regulating traffic and especially in
preventing violations of the speed
laws.
The Commissioner recommends the
establishment of speed traps ion the
thoroughfare of the State to assist the
local police in catching speeders. The
privilege of calling upon thel State de-
partment for motor vehicle inspectors
is extended by Commissioner Lippin-
colt to the local police departments
