COLOR LINE HAS
BARRED NUMBER
Of MOUND STARS
There Are at Least Three Negro
Pitchers Who Are in a Class
with Walter Johnson and
"Rube."

NEW YORK. June 1.-THE color
line drawn so tightly around major
league baseball has barred from ma,
jor league fields three Of the greatest
pitchers the game has ever produced.
one OF the trio. John Donaldson,
pitching semi-pro ball in Kansas
City, recently pitched SO innings
without allowing a hit or run-a rec
ord without parallel.
If Donaldson were a white man,
or if the unwritten law of baseball
didn't bar negroes from the major
leagues. I would give $4,000 for him
and think ! was getting "a bargain,
said John McGraw OF the Giants after
seeing Donaldson pitch several games
in Cuba
Donaldson just before establishing
his record OF pitching 80 innings
without being hit. struck out % men
in a 12-inning game-an average OF
better than two strike-outs per inning.
Donaldson just now is twirling for
the Al-Natonals, Kansas City team
composed of players Of all nations
and an ou6t that baseball sharps
claim is strong enough 60 give any
major league club "a nip and tuck
battle.
Wickware Sensation.
Frank Wickware is another negro
pitcher who would rank with the Wal
Alexander If he were white man.
Wickware performed some marvellous
pitching feats in and around Science
tady, y. Y, and has since moved on
10 Chicago where he has become a
sensation among the semi-pros.
Wickware has marvellous speed. a
weird set OF curves and wonderful
control. And he has a trick that has
made him feared among batters He
throws what seems TO be a bean
ball." but his control is so perfect
that he never yet has hit a batter i'm
the head. But when the batters see
the ball, propelled with mighty force,
come for their heads. they jump away
and the ball, taking its proper and
we'll curve, arches over the
plate for a strike.
Wickware has compiled a wonder
| full strike-out average. He figured in
about so games over a stretch OF
three years from 1912 and struck out
something like $50 batsmen-an av-
erage Of about Is 10 a game. In
one game he famed . men. lie has
allowed on an average OF only five
hits TO n game for the last 20 games
! pitched and over "A stretch Of IS
games he allowed only rs runs; less
than two runs 10 a game.
Cuban PhenOm
In Cuba there is a negro pitcher
!
as The Black Matty' and his work
\ has been almost as brilliant as that
/ OF The Big Six Of the Giants Men
DEE is only Of medium height but ne
/ has terrific power in his arm
The Cuban negro has canny
brain which he always has used. He
I has mixed his fast BALI with his slow
one, has an assortment Of beautiful
curves and perfect control
Pitching for the speedy Almendares
/ team he has established some amaz-
I ing records. But he has done so
/ without really trying. Like Mathew
son he never pitches air-tight ball un-
\ less he has to. He conserVes his
strength. But when ne needs 10 pitch
| hitless ball he does IL. When he needs
/ TO strike out a man he usually sue
| ceeds. But he always works on the
theory that he has eight men TO aid
him in his defensive work

CLOSE
BAWDY
HOUSE

Three women residents OF Z
street, whose homes abutt on Mar
ket street houses, disguised with
the failure of the police to take
action to clean up Market street
formerly D., today caused one
alleged house of i'll fame to be
put out of business.
The three-Mrs. A. p. Peters,
1885 Il: Mrs. Mary Rigney, 1881
K and Mrs. Esther Seely. 1887
got evidence to prove that Rosa
Wilson, colored, was operating a
bawdy house at 1922 Market
street. They appeared against
the woman in police court today
and caused her conviction and a
80 days sentence.
And they brought out, through
the assistance of Deputy Prosecu-
tor Frank Riley, the fact that the
prisoner had rented her house
from r. e. Anderson & Co., and
laid the grounds for an abatement
case
Chief of Police LooEis and sew
eral police officers were interested
spectators during the proceedings
I'VE want our neighborhood
cleaned up" declared Mrs. Peters,
land IL seems that the only way
to do it is to get the evidence our
selves. The prosecutor can't hard
ly refuse to start abatement pro-
ceedings, in the face of our evil
dence."

Govnor Teats. father of the
workmen's compensation law in
this state and a leading student
of labor conditions, agreed today
to speak at the meeting Friday
evening at 700 Pacific avenue
called to work up a referendum
movement against eight measures
passed by the last legislature.
Tcats regards some Of these
laws as slaps at the rights of the
average man, and others as an un-
warranted assault on the rights
of the people to govern themselves
as they wish.
With him on the platform will
be Charles r. Case, superintend-
ent of streets and sewers OF Sc
attic.
Rea Last. who has taken char &c
of the referendum campaign here,
reported today that signatures
were easily enough obtainable fol-
the many petitions he had out
but that many who were willing
to sign had not registered.

Iof that line will be one Of the
greatest benefits Tacoma has had
mot n Question"
Shull-Day Co.. working. clothes
--Benefit? Not question In
the world about It! The kind of
goods our firm manufacturers Is
known to westerners, the men
who will handle this project. We
have a good trade up there now,
and we know II will grow.
'Isetter BUSINESS"
Hunt q Mottet, hardware-By
next fall and spring, we will be-
gin to feel the real big effect of
the railroad. II surely will mean
better business for US; better bust
ness for all Tacoma.
ITO Bring Money"
Tacoma Grocery Co.--Alaska Is
a country which we haven't de-
veloped to it's full limit. but We
all feel already the effect Of the
railroad. Certainly 1t means bet
ter business for us; we're going
TO bring some Of that money into
Tacoma.
"Big Benefit"
Pacific Cold Storage Cove
already had 800 or 400 stations
In Alaska, from which we
supply much of the meat and fish.
Therefore we're IN touch with this
country, and we know that this
railroad means big benefit to
It, and even bigger benefit to US
OF the Pacific Northwest.

Business will grow; we can't tell
how much, but good deal. Prob
ably greater than we expect, rath-
er than less.

w. r.. Rust Tacoma Smelling
Co.--The u. s. railroad will open
a highly mineralized country. 1t
hasn't been sufficiently explored
for me to say whether the build
ing Of the new line will greatly
increase the volume of ore COM
ing to the Tacoma smelter or not.
From what is known of the re-
gion Il Is richer in gold than in
copper. The gold ores would prob
ably be treated right on the
ground rather than be brought
out. While that would not help
our business. It would furnish
trade for those selling milling ma
chinery and other supplies.

THE LAND OF PAINTED HILLS.

In the recent issue of Sunset magazine, Walter Woehlke. 'spe- cial writer in an article entitled, "The Land of Painted HillS," @ story of Arizona, concludes with the following paragraph:
 Arizona is the most interest ing of the forty seven states. There is not a dull, common place square mile in all it's ter ritory, even the desert, the crys tai clear air, the strange cacti, the rich flora and queer fauna of the waste places have deep in terest for him who has eyes to see the glory of the sunset, to whose understanding the low hung stars of the desert night can speak.
