MoCombs SHE'D at the Expense.
Time and again a president has
wanted to appoint a certain hlSnly
eligible man as an ambassador or a
minister, but the favored one has been
compelled for want Of means to de-
cline the proffered post. That very
point was the stumbling block in the
case Of William +. McCombs, chair
maj Of the Democratic national COM
mittee. President Wilson was very
DESTROYS that he accept the ambaSsa-
dorship to France. but in spite OF the
fact that, reckoned by the standards the
average salaripd man understands. he
is not poor. he realized the inadequacE
of a'S17.1O0 salary in maintaining the
dignity of the office that was open to
him and also realized that he would
have to abandon his ambition Of build
ing up q large law practice in New
York city. And 81 the matter was lett
sun in the air. when he went abroad.
Then late last June it was reported
from Washington that the president
had again endeavored to gain from
Mr.. McCombs by cable his promise to
accept the ambasSadorship and that
the answer returned indicated he
! would do so eventually if his health
permitted.
/ When Woodrow Wilson took the Of
fee of president one of his main con
Esiderations was the diplomatic service.
| The tariff and the currency problems
have caused more. concern. no doubt,
but the question of placing the right
men from his viewpoint in the various
! foreign posts has cost him many anX-
iouS hours. II is within the presidents
power to appoint ten ambassadors at
a salary Of $1,000 each. eight minis
tiers at a salary Of $4,000 each. TWEEN
ty-four at a salary of $4,000 each and
one minister resident ut q salary Of
$1,000.
Seeking the Crux of the Trouble.

impressed with the fact that some
thing was wrong in the system if men
eligible in every particular save fnan'
cially were forced to reject such dis

keep up the expensive establishment
which custom seemed to require. 1T is
4 great pity" said the president. when
the country demands sacrifices that
only rich men IAN make" Right here
it may be noted that one Of those he
has appointed are multimiliionaires.
At the same time agitation was
started in Washington for a provision
by the government to enable our am
bassadOrs and ministers abroad to
maintain their embassies and legations
with proper dignity without going down
deep in their own pockets. Senator
Bacon Of Georgia.. chairman Of the
committee on foreign relations, came
out in favor of the diplomatic reform
which the president had concluded
was an urgent iced.
Senator Bacon recommended that
an ambassador or minister should be
provided with a home properly fur,
niShed, and in addition there should be
a requirement Of law that he should
live in it. This requirement. in the
senator's opinion. would prevent the
wealthy ambassador from renting q
palace and setting a pace which his sue
ceSsOr might be unable to maintain.

TT would not do to shoot your speed

curves to him either. for he hits into
every field.
in pitching to Wagner a fellow has
to think all the time and try to out
guess him. Still, I think him weak
on a fast ball inside on account OF
the way he steps toward the plate
when he swings. You remember
King Cole achieved a lot Of fame In
1911 when he famed Wagner three
times in one game in Chicago. Az
ter the contest Joe Tinker asked him
what he handed to Hans, and he said
he did not know, but I learned from
Archer that Cole had set him down

" HICAGO, ILL, June 2S.-It is
time for the pitchers of the Ma
tional League to sit up take no
tice and listen. Larry Cheney, the
star twirler of the Chicago Cub team,
reveals a most astonishing and i'm
portant fact, one that not even the
wonderful Christy Mathewson has
disclosed since he started hurting in
the parent major league organization.
1t Is information concerning the
batting of Hans Wagner, Of Pitts
burg, who has the remarkable aver
age of 1924 for seventeen consecutive
years. Cheney says the "hying
Dutchman," as he is sometimes called,
has a weakness at the plate. which
is something no other pitcher has
dared to venture since Wagner be-
gan his career in the National
League.
Mathewson and Mordecai Brown,
two of the great fingers of the game
have declared that the Pittsburg
slugger is one of the most puzzllng
batters to pitch to. and particularly
in a pinch, because of his ability to
hit a curve as we'll as a fast ball.
These two stars have worked hook
balls to death trying to fool Wag-
ner.
Brown acknowledged only last win
ter that most of his success in de-
ceiving the Pirate shortstop was due
| to his sharp breaking curve ball
which he invariably broke over the
| outside corner Of the plate. He used
this bender in this way because Wag-
ner stands on the outer edge OF the
batter's box and steps into a curve
that is pitched to break toward him
or over the plate. Mathewson, like
Brown, has depended on his fade
away ball when facing the shortstop.
Fast Ball Against Wagner.
Cheney according to his own dope"
practically abandons his twister while
Wagner is at the plate. OF course he
resorts to his moist ball considera-
bly,, but his strongest point of decep-
ton against the famous wallOper Of
extra base hits is his fast ball. Cheney
mingles It discreetly with the rest of
his assortment. In addition to giving
the information that Wagner has a
weakness, Cheney also declares that
he is easily fooled and crossed after
he has two strikes called on him
Il have fooled Wagner time and
again on that fast ball." said Cheney
"As long as have been pitching
against him he has been easy for me
1 do not think he secured more than
one hit off me all last season, and
appeared in eight games against the
Pirates. I do not mean to say that
he is a mark at the plate, for he is
far from being one, but what / mean
is this: I have prevented Wagner
from fattening his average off me
just through my ability to cross him
with fast ball.
