1t seems a pity that hard times. lack
of the price and few other such bush
league details have in measure cut
In upon baseball interest this season.
For IL has been a long, long time since
any one season has shown a more com,
pact race in both the National and
American league. The predicted run
away dash OF Giants and Athletics
hasn't developed yet by several fur
longs. Each league has several other
clubs close around where a shit III
luck would send them shooting by the
leaders 1t isn't that other clubs have
improved to any great extent. with a
few exceptions, but neither Mack nor
McGraw has been able to send his club
along with old-time speed.

Base Running.

DO you figure the Giants have as
good a base running team as Washing
TONI" asks J. l.. c. IF so. how do
you arrive at any such concIusion?"
There isn't much to choose between
these two entries. The Giants have led
both leagues in base running for four
years. and on this basis We ranked
them first. Griff has tribe of fleet
footed people He has at least five
of first rank. But. outside of his bat
teries, McGraw hasn't an entry who
isn't swift OF hoof. McGraw has greater
average speed. but Washington sprint
crs run with better average Judgment.
The clash incarnate will arrive shortly
now when Macks sluggers move up
against Callahan's pitching. When the
games best pitching talent faces the
games hardest hitting talent the enter
prise should be fraught with more than
average interest.
Last season II was an even break.
Calls sharpshooters were about the only
people who could curb the Mackmen,
and. despite a wcak-hittlng club. the
white Sox broke even on the year with
eleven wins out of twenty-five Athletic
starts. And they were the only people
who achieved this 500 split.

DETROIT, Mich, June 1s.-"The days
when the major leagues must look to
the most important minor leagues for
talent are speedily passing and. unless
I miss my guess. II will be from the
smaller circuits and semi-pro circuits
that they will gather material for the
future" prophesied Jack Ryan. scout
coach. as he discussed scouting with
a group Of players today.
IF you go to one Of the big minor
league clubs now and try to talk busi-
moss about some player who strikes
your fancy. you are discouraged by
finding that the man you want il al
ready tied up with one of the teams
that are your rivals No matter from
where a tip comes you have to run It
down. but my experience from the
past year or 50 has convinced me that
It is to the bushes and city lots that
We must recruit the men for use in
upbuilding any department. of any
team"
These statements by the veteran
were drawn out through discussion
Of the present pitching staff Of the
Nationals. Few are the fans who ap-
preciate the fact that Of all the pitch
ers Griffith now has under his COM
mand. but one was purchased. DIR.
Y. w. Ayers was bought from Rich
mond. But look at the remainder of
the array. Walter johnson was
picked up, a Jewel in the rough, at
Weiser, Idaho; Joe Boehling was
pitching for the Battle Axe Club Of
Richmond.
Jim Shaw earned fame with Pitts
burgh Collegians before his prowess was
called to the attention Of Griffith, Joe
Engel hailed from Mt St. Mary's Col
lege, Carl Cashion was grabbed from
Davidson College, Harry Harper came
direct from a semi-pro team in Hack
ensack, while Jack Bentley's principal
claim for a trial was the success that
attended his work against Rockville and
other teams In Montgomery county
while he was on his vacation from the
school near Philadelphia
The policy of going into the byways
and hedges for raw products will be
followed by the Washington club
throughout the season. Already Mike
Kahoe has made a number of trips for
college men and others and when the
team returns to its lair Jack Ryan will
don goloshes and hit the trail along the
ing headquarters in great numbers Of
late.

PRINCESS SHOT BY A MOTH
Accused Husband Saved by Remarka
Bile Evidence introduced In
italian Court.

There seems to be no good reason
for doubling the story that set free q
Neapolitan prince accused Of murder.
II was the locally notorious case OF
the Princess Caravella, at Naples. In
Italy. After giving dinner party she
proceeded to her room to snatch a few
minutes Of rest In order to refresh her'
self for q dance.
She was discovered lying dead on
her bed, with q pistol wound In her
heart. Her husband, Prince Caravellar
had been noted for his Jealous dispo'
sitiou: and, as It was certain that no
stranger could possibly have been In
the princess room. suspicion pointed
70 him and he was arrested. The pis'
tol was found lying near the murdered
woman. which in itself was favorable
to the prince, for no murderer, unless
he courted detection, would thus leave
the weapon to be discovered. In spite
Of this, II was probable that things
would have gone hard with the ,ac'
cused but for the shrewdnesss OF Q
Naples police omcer. This man care
fuIly examined the bedchamber and
wing on the door by the bedside. he
found one Of those large moths that
