The Claws Of Arkansas.

Deposits of clay are so common that
the CLAW resources of state seldom at
tract much attention, yet clay may be
mt to an infinite variety OF valuable
uses. and its annual output in the United
States is worth more than Sl50,O0oOoo,
The state of Arkansas produces clay OF
several kinds, which are described IN
bulletin 35l of the United States geo
logical survey, department OF the inte-
rior. This bulletin not only states the
locations of the clay deposits OF the state
but describes their composition, charac-
ter. origin, occurrence and uses Inc
claws are classified as residual ciays'
claws of mechanical origin, and bauXite'
The production in each county is eonsld'
cred separately, and the uses to when
the clay is put are given. An interest,
ing use has been made locally of some OF
the potter's clay found in Dallas county,
It has been dissolved in buttermllk ana
boiled and used as a whitewash When
SO used it gives a smooth coat OF slightly
blush tint, which is said to be about as
durable as a coating made with lime'

Youthful College Pitcher
Reports to the Griffmen
Kenneth McCovern, Recon-
mended by Nick Altrock,
Joins Nationals.
JOHNSON WORKS TODAY

Chicago, June 12.-Kenneth McGovern,
feet inches tall, the Knox College
crack twirlcr, who was signed last spring
by Manager Griffith upon the recon-
mendation of Nick Altrock, Joined the
Nationals this afternoon and will be In
uniform tomorrow.
Altrock dug up McGovern last fall and
was so impressed with the YOUNGSTERS
ability that he begged Grif to sign him
up for a trial.
I'll stake my reputation that McGovern
will some day be a sensation in the big
show He needs experience of course
but he's got the makngs of a great
pitcher unless l miss my guess" de-
clared AltroCk.
McGovern is a nice looking chap built
on the lines of Bob Groom. He SAYS he
weighs $50 pounds and has been playing
ball on his college team all this spring
McGovern would have Joined the Ma
tonals at Charlottesville. but he wanted
to graduate from college. Now that he
has mis- A. B. degree he SAYS he is ready
to give Griffith his best services.
Knox College is at Galesburg. Ills
about 100 miles from Chicago. McGoverr
is % years old and is a clean living
young man. 1t would not be at all sur
prising II Griff did work McGovern
against the St Louis Browns in one of
the games.
Walter johnson is slated to pitch for
the Nationals this afternoon and for the
benefit of the fans a nice little surprise
has been planned. Opposed to Walter
johnson will be big Ed Walsh. the former
White SoX star twirler. who hurt his
arm three years ago and who has been
Of little use to the club since.
Walsh will attempt to stage a come
back" He declares that his arm feels
fine and after watching the Nationals lose
three games in a row. is Of the opinion
that he can beat them As everybody
else has taken crack at the GriTmen.
there is no reason why Walsh should
not be given an opportunity
The game tomorrow is sure to attract
big crowd and it will be interesting TO
note whether the once famous twirler
has. as he claims, regained the use Of
his arm.
Eddie Foster will be dropped down sew
eral notches in the batting order for to-
morrow'e game and Rondeau will replace
Shanks in left field. Fosters hand still
bothers him and he cannot use a bat
properly Shanks has not made a hit
during the last two games and Griffith
is justified in using Rondeau.
