WASHINGTON. - The terrific
speed Of Walter johnson has been .
seven years wonder. Since the day
he left the mountain fastness OF Idaho
to bear the standard OF the Washing
ton club he has been the sensation oil
the baseball world. The gaping
crowd has seen revived before It's
eyes those deeds OF medieval ro-
nance where a single champion de-
fled an army. They have seen a mas
! ter pitcher who alone beat back with
his Hnaided arm the fierce assaults OF
seven major league clubs, which
whether they were humble losers or
worlds champions, bowed alike before
his might. r- psi, % .-ssa u s
Atlas, the tabled giant of Greek
mythology. towering alone in the des.
erts Of Africa, bore aloft upon his
shoulders the whole revolving heav-
ems. Walter Johnson has for seven
years carried upon his shoulders the
fortunes OF the Washington club. And
from first to last Of his wonderful ca
reer rival pitchers, opposing batsrnen
experts and critics Of the game have
alike marveled at HIS matchless de-
livery. -
What is the secret OF this mans
awful speed? From coast to coast the
public recognizes In him the success
scr Of the long-remenbered Rusie
They recognize his vast superiority
{ TO other pitchers of the type, but do
not explain wherein that superiority
lies. We have set ourselves the task
OF solving this enigma. We have Ia
ken Johnson because he Is the ack-
noWledged leader of his class, have
considered him not so much as an In
diyidual as the best example Of q
type. In analysing as we propose to
do this mans unparalleled skill we
shall be led to discuss one Of the most
fascinating chapters in all pitching
art The Importance OF such investi-
cation cannot be oyeremphasized, for
pitching IL the cornerstone, the firm
foundation OF all the bewilderingly
complicated superstructlire Of the ma,
tional game.

AMERICANS PUT
SOUL IN WORK
Expert Gives Reasons Why
Our Athletes Excel Over
Many Rivals
by Latest MALL

NEW YORK-"There are two great
reasons. why, the American athletes
rule the world. One Is that they put
their whole heart and soul into the
work Of conditioning their bodies for
their contests and the other is that
they have the advantage of training
by trainers who are without peers
This was the opinion expressed re.
Gently by DR.. Otto Herschmann,
president of the Austrian Olym pic
committee and one Of the forem ost
athletic authorities in Europe.
! DR.. Herschmann is here Just now

leges and the different athletic clubs,
and engaging one or more of the
most famous American trainers TO

compete in the 1916 Olympic contests.
Had Wrong idea. ~ = ii
I'VE used to have the idea In Eu-
rope" said DR.. Herschmann. that IL
man was natural athlete Il wasn't
necessary for the trainer to devote
much attention to him, and that the
only men who needed any great
amount or coaching were those who
had only the appearances Of athletes
and no skill whatever.
But we have learned through bit
ter experience in the last two Olym.
pic meets that we were wrong and
that the American system of training
eyely athlete all the time Is the only
right way >ss7ss> +. 3
Il do not think that the unframed
American athlete Is superior to the
unframed European athlete fsthink
there are Is many natural athletes In
Europe as In Amefica, and that with
out the benefit OF trainers the AInert
can athletes would fare no better
than the European 0nesa s
1T Is the training that has brought
about the American superiority In the
athletic world. Europe has learned
its lesson, and learned 1t well, and
we will adopt the American system Of
training our athletes for the Olympic
games Then there may be q differ

Will Briquette Coal

An extensive experiment will be
made in briquetting coal at Minot. A
company has been formed with capi-
talization of $5OO,O00. A large factory
for pressing Ignite coal in small bricks
which can be placed on the market in
competition with coal from the South
and West will soon be erected.
The incorporators of the company are
Herman Winterer and Hugh Mcdonald
of Valley City and L. M. Davis of
Minot.
While North Dakota is underlaid
with vast deposits Of ignite coal the
use of the fuel has not become general
owing to the form in which it has been
sold.
Companies have been previously orr
ganized with too little capital.
1t is expected that the new company
with half million dollars capitaliza
tion will be able to make an exhaustive
test of the marketable qualities of lig-
mite coal.

Only Thing to Do

We are glad to note that the Benedict
Banner is also taking the sure route to
success. A law is made to be obeyed
and if all editors make it clear that
subscriptions must be paid there would
be less chance for the other fellows to
always cast slurring remarks about the
poor editors. The Banner goes after
the delinquents in this manner:
If you fail to get your Banner after
this week, don't blame the editor, as
he is only complying with the law by
stopping it. We do not wish to lose an
old friend and. if you want the home
paper we, should be more than pleased
to send it to you, but no man or setaof
men can publish a paper, no matter how
small and insignificant it may be on
promises and therefore if we have to
stop it you are not the only loser. Un-
der the new law we must discontinue
all of those who are more than one year
in arrears, or the Postal Authorities
will see that we stop altogether and
those who wish the paper and are will
ing to pay for it will be deprived Of it.
Therefore if you do not know just how
you stand in regard to your subscription
and desire the paper you had better
look into the matter.

Red Clover Too
Good To Slight
]. 6. Haney Of the !. q. {. Bureau
Warns the Farmers Of Their
Mistake

Red Clover is crop which North Da
kcta farmers can i'll afford to overlook
according to j. G. Haney, representa-
tive in Fargo of the new International
Harvester Company's Service Bureau.
Mr.. Hanley has investigated the
conditions in the state in regard to the
crop and believes that it would prove
most valuable from money standpoint
in addition to being valuable as soil re-
storer.
I'm conversation with young farm
er from near Argusville, N. D., the
subject of various crops was under
discussion" says Mr.. Haney. 81 asked
if he had tried red clover. He said
they scwed about 40 acres one year
and got good stand. The following
year they harvested over Z bushel Of
seed per acre, but the next winter it
was all killed out so they had never
tried it any more.
''It is very common for this exper-
ience to be met with in the Northwest.
The bushels of seed per acre was
certainly an extraordinary crop. Such
a crop this year would just about buy
the land twice, as clover seed is quoted
about 20c per pound.
'It is somewhat surprising that far
mers will condemn so valuable crop
to the extent of not trying it again
after it had done so well as in this case.
1t is also remarkable that there are so
many who do not realize the fact that
red clover belongs to the biennial class
of plants. This class Of plants never
do grow more than two years.
Undoubtedly the reason for many
not knowing this to be true of red
clover is because in their previous ex-
perience. it has been able to reseed
itself to such an extent that it appeared
to live on from year to year.
"Red clover is certainly one of the
most valuable legumes, and is partic-
ularly well adopted to the conditions in
North Dakota. 1t is hardly to be ex-
pected that it will ever become uni
yersally successful as it is in the
central regions of United States, but it
is doubtful if any other legume will
ever be found that will be as success
full in North Dakota as red clover or
alfalfa.
"It is the most valuable plant grown
in short rotations for the purpose of
securing nitrogen from the air and for
fitting land for producing better crops.
Nitrogen is of the essential elements of
fertility and one which, is in nearly
every case when added to the soil by
such plant as clover"
