RECURRING question as to what is hap
pening 10 him. johnson feels his de-
rcsts keenly, but there is nothing to do
nat suffer them the way things have
cen going for him of late.
After Jim Shaw had given one Of the
greatest exhibitions Of pitching ever
witnessed at National Pank. when he
thanked the Athletics, as told In the e:so
edition of The Times, Walter johnson
rell before the champions in the greatest
humiliation that he has ever suffered
since he came here seven years ago. It
came in the fourth inning, and befors
the king of pitchers had been relieved
the Athletics had piled UP eight singles
line. This netted seven runs. and
from then on ali ideas of competition
were removed from the game. Johnson
was beaten. trimmed, and routed.
Nothing came from the bench to the
pitcher, but when the Washington in
ield headed by Captain Mcbride. ap-
preCiated the fact that the best pitcher
IN the ranks was to undergo such a
terrific lacing they gathered around
him. and at their suggestion he walked
IF the field a badly beaten man. but
rheered from the time the crowd under

time that he disappeared on the way to

Harry Harper acting in a relief iole,
vas somewhat of an improvement and
continued until an emergency hitter

of Hagerstown. was sent in TO finish
It up with Tom Wilson. the latest
'i-ifithian recruit, as catcher. In two
innings the Athletics got two hits OF
Stevens who was we'll supported by the
'ackstop from Texas.
The Athletics Will be back here on
september 30 for the final two games
y their schedule with the Nationals.
Three hits in four games was the ex-
rent Of the damage that Frank Baker
vas able to do against the Washington
uitchers. Both Of the youngsters lived
n to the letter of the instructions
aanded cut by their chief in pitching to
the slugger. and they held him safe at
very stage. But against johnson Baker
vas so successful that he got two hits
IN three tries.
Seven times during the course Of the
dusl engagement the Nationals staged
do,rble plays. In the morning. Jim Shaw
vas thrice saved and in the afternoon
our more OF these fast plays were put

While the score does not show that

THE FEDERAL LEAGUE.

Whether or not the Federal
League is to make winning fight
against the forces of organized
baseball" has yet to be. determined.
Large attendances in Baltimore and
Pittsburgh on the opening dates are
a trlfie misleading. In Baltimore
the opposition was provided by an
exhibition game. In Pittsburgh yes
terday no opposition was offered
whatever. Tomorrow, however, the
new league will endeavor to outdraw
the National League in St. Louis,
one of the cities where Mr.. Gilmore's
organization is believed to have a
chance of succeeding. Just what will
happen there cannot be foretold, but
it will provide material for consider
ing the chances Of the Federal
League this season, something lack
ing thus far.
The Federal League promoters
have contended all along that there
is room for another 'big league" ="
Large crowds in Baltimore and Pitts
burgh would seem to argue for the
strength of this contention. Of course,
opening day crowds are always much
larger than usual, and it will require
more time to decide just what pull
ing power" the new league possesses.
But today Mr.. Gilmore is to be con-
graduated on the apparent solidarity
Of his organization in the affections
of the public in Baltimore and Pitts
burgh.

of this plan point out that the nom
partisan double election mas taken
politics largely out of city govern
ments, and they demand to know why
the business of running a State is
not entitled to jest as good and
business-like an organization. If it
IS good for big city to have a
business government without par
tisanship, why not Just as good for
State? Some of the cities that
have this non-political system are
about as big, in population and
wealth, as some of the States.
Without doubt some of the radical
States will try this one-chamber plan
of legislation before very many
years, and the experiment is going
to be watched with keen concern. 1t
is yet a long time before so strik-
ing a change in the national system
will be seriously attempted; perhaps
it never will. Perhaps, too, the
checks and balances of the present
system are necessary so long as we
have no national referendum on
legislation. In Oregon, there would
yet be two possible vetoes on legis-
lation by the single chamber: first,
the governors, and second, that of
the people under the referendum.

ICONOCLASM IN LIN
COLNIANA.

Pretty soon we will have a ma
tional commission to decide whether
Lincoln ever said any of the wise
and clever things attributed to him.
A couple of years ago n bold spirit
stalked forth from research into the
writings and reported speeches of
Lincoln, to announce that the Great
Emancipator never said. "you can
fool some of the people all the time;
you can fool all of the people some
Of the time, but you can't fool all the
people all the time"
That was heinous offense against
our traditions about Lincoln. II was
one of the most Lincolnesque of all
the wise saws attributed to the war
President, but investigation seems to
make clear that there is nc reason
for attributing it 10 Lincoln.
Comes now a protestant in Phila-
delphia, and makes unpleasant de-
mand for guarantee of the authen-
ITCHY of Lincoln's famous tariff il
lustration. 1t has been quoted by
every protectionist speaker in sew
eral decades, and nobody ever ques-
toned, till now, that it originated
with Lincoln; it sounded so much
ike him, you know. Thus:
do not know much about tho tariff.
but / know this much. that when We
buy manufactured goods abroad we get
the goods and the foreigner gets Che
money. when we buy the manUfac-
tured goods at home We get both the
money and tie goods.
Senator Penrose used that quota
tion in Pennsylvania recently, and
now the higher criticism has turned
itself loose on him, undertaking to
demonstrate that Lincoln never said
it. Perhaps the critics are cure that
Lincoln wouldn't have said anything
that could possibly serve Penrose's
