The thirteenth session of the
South Dakota legislature will come
to an end tonight. From the
newspaper reports OF the work of
the body. we Judge that it has dis
tinguished itself by its modification
OF existing laws rather than the
putting into effect entirely new
acts. The capacity OF the members
tor work seems to have been large
and the 1913 session laws promises
to be little bulkier than any here
tofore.

JOHNSON IS
SPEEDIEST
BY BILLY EVANS,

What pitcher has the most speed in
the two big leagues? That is 4 cues
ton always open to debate, as there
are many twirlers in the two big
shows who have nlenv of the fast
stuff. They call Joe Wood Smoky

lieye belongs the crown of the Speed
King" Il" 4: r.
In the middle of last summer Mana,
ger Griffith of the Washington club
secured Nick Al!rock to Ealp out Her
man Schaefer in the role of coacher
and comedian. Nick had been out OF
the big show for several years, AMI
most of the players were strangers
TO him. He had been pitching in the
American Association. One of the
young Washington players asked him
why he quit. to which Nick replied
that he didn't quit; they made the
bats too big. "No matter how hard |
would try" said Nick, "it was simply
impossible to get the ball past the
bat without hitting it, For a time.
Nick said. he got by in the league oy
giving the PLAYERS their base on balls
and then caught them mapping OF
FIRST. Then. according TO Nick, the
players heightened their bats and
killed his last chance. But that's a
biz away from my story.
When Nick denarted from the
American League Walter Johnson was
a star pitcher, but it had never been
his opportunity to see him in action
at his best Nick watched Johnson
warm up one day. all the time lament
iEg the fact that he was born about
ten years too soon to get the big
money. and bemoauing the fact that
he didn't have about ona-third the
stuff in his arm as Johnson. On his
return last year Nick saw Johnson IN
action for the first time against the
Tigers. While Detroit didn't win any
remnant in 1912. still there is. n lot
Of batting strength left on the club.
