DOC White ASKS
FOR HIS RELEASE
Great Twirler Wanted to Quit
White Soxl and Manage
Semi-pro Team Here.
COMISKEY SAYS. NO
By WILLIAM PEET.

Charley Comiskey, owner of the Chr
cago White Sox, knocked a well laid plan
into a cooked hat at the American
League schedule meeting in New York
last Monday when he told Doc White
that he expected the lanky dentist to
accompany the Windy City club to the
Pacific Coast on it's spring training trip
this season.
Doc White, who is regarded by many
as one of the best left handlers in the
country, wanted to spend the coming
summer in Washington and continue in
the automobile business while managing
a semi-pro baseball club here on the
side
After conference with Clark Grif-
fifth, White gained the Washington man
ayers consent to rent him the American
League grounds at Florida Avenue every
Sunday during the season. also on Sat-
urdays while the Nationals were on the
,Toad
It was Whites plan to gather around
him the strongest semi-pro team OBJ
tainable from the ranks of Washington's
sandlot players. The club was to be
known as Doc Whites Stars and games
We're to be scheduled with the strongest
Independent teams in the East
Play Sunday Ball.
As there is no law in the District
against Sunday baseball, the south-paw
twirler believed that games played here
on the Sabbath would draw big. White
himself proposed to pitch all the impor-
tant battles, and had it figured out that
by sticking to his automobile business
and branching into a baseball manager
on the side, he would be able to pull
down almost as much coin as the Chi
Cago club paid him.
Everything was lovely until White
tackled Owner Comiskey in New York
asking the Old Roman for his release.
Now there will be no Sunday baseball at
National Park under the management OF
Doc White.
You are crazy Doc to talk about quit
ting me- Comiskey told him and then
Proceeded to drag the twirler out of the
Somerset Hotel down to the Wolcott
where the manager had registered
Il want you right here with me until
this baseball meeting is over" the Old
Roman said. TN soon knock this fool
ish idea out of your head before let
you CO.
Doc White returned from New York
Yesterday, and when questioned about
the matter exclaimed to a little knot of
acquaintances. It's all Off, boys.
'Commy' won't let me do it, and as he
has been good friend to me the past
seven years, I won't go against his
wishes
The lanky south-paw leaves for Chi
cago Rext Wednesday, and will accom-
pany the White Sox on their long train
ing trip to the Pacific Coast

star from across the water.
The bout last night was fast from the
start. Although Americus outweighed
the Hollander by fully thirty pounds the
Baltimore grappler did not have an easy

The Cost of High Living.

We Americans are Of easy spenders, aud no

To Regulate Regulation.

The recent suggestion in England Of a legally
prescribed minimum wage has been followed by the
introduction at Washington of bill establishing Il
minimum wage of 50 week for ali women ana
Girls employed in work which goes into interstate
commerce This is in line, also. with recent rec
ommendation Of the Illinois AntNice Commission.
There Is no doubt that much sympathy will be
felt with this proposition in view Of the revea-
ttons of starvation wages which have recently been
made and of the plausible suggestion that there
is a close relationship between low wages and
vice. The question arises however, how far the
process of governmental regulation of industrial
economics is TO 90.
suppose for example that as logical sequel to
the fixing of a minimum wage for employees the
Government should fix a minimum rate Of dividends
which capitalists should receive on their invest

Going to the Mountain.

Our ueighbOr "rhe World" seems to regret lhat
the President has chosen to go TO Congress instead
Of insisting that Congress shall come 10 him Like
John SHARP Williams and other literal JefersonlanS.
il believes thas Mr. Wilson should stand pat on ms
little island and have the multitude OF advisers
from the Capitol ferred across SO strong are the
bonds of established custom to some minds. Yet
the wisdom of Mahomet supports the practice Of
Going TO the mountain if there practical incon-
yeniences in the way Of entertaining the mountain
in ones front yard.
The President is upsetting the precedeDts Of 10
dav and returning TO those of century ago for a
very practical reason. AS the leader o: the party
i'm power he wants 10 deal at first hand and in the
omen with those who expected TO translate the
narty's pledges into legislation. He can do that
best by appearing at the Capitol, where the laws
are made and meeting Representatives and Sena-
TORS on their own ground and in their exclusive
capacity as legislators. The average Congressman
who visits the White House visits il not as legls
lator but as patronage hunter
Going TO the Capitol makes 1t easier 10 keep a
legislators mind on duty rather than on spois. If
the President can get the House and the Senate
