A story is told of Joe Doyle, nick
named "Slow Joe" because of the
length of, time it took him to deliver
a ball to a batter. and who pitched
for the Yankees some years ago. Joe
didn't last very long, but at least he
lasted long enough to make one quaint
observation that will long be remem-
berel. 1t seems that Doyle was pitch
after joining the club, in which the
Yankees were opposed by the Tigers,
and Ty Cobb came to bat with two on
and two out at critical stage of the
pastime.
The Yankee catcher walked out to
Doyle and said: Better pass this
guy"
"Pass. him?" asked Doyle, who eth
er did not know Cobb or was possess
ed of a. world of confidence.
"Why, not strike him out?"
And, by the gods, that's exactly
what he did! ..t.!..

ingly. She shook hands with each of
the jurors as they left the box and
to each gave nod of appreciation.
The evidence on which the jury
based its findings included a plea on

GOV. WHiTMAN.S SPOKE ON
DEEPENING HUDSON RIVER
(By Associated Press. !

Miami, Fla, Nov. 30.-Thc i'm
portance and desirability Of deepen
ing the Hudson river to permit deep
sea craft to ply between New York
AMI Albany, a distance Of $50 miles,
was emphasized by Governor Charles
S. Whitman of New York, in an ad-
dress before the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways Association convention
here.
s. Governor Whitman said that the
amount of foreign commerce which
annually passed through Albany by
rail on its way to and from western
points, exceeded fourteen million
tons, and that upon the completion
OF the new barge canal, combined
1raii and water facilities would more
than double this tonnage.
"If some of this foreign commerce
could be intercepted and transferred
befort reaching the port of New
York." he said, at would permit that
por. to handle more cheaply and rap
idly the domestic commerce necessary
to feed, clothe and shelter its rapid
ly increasing population"
Reports made by Federal engi-
reers showed, he said, that the con
struction of a New York-Albany shin
channel was entirely feasible and
that the cost would be relatively
small. The Hudson can be navigated
by ocean-going vessels to within 4C
miles of Alhaey, and virtually all o.
the dredging necessary to secure
depth of 81 feet could be done witt
hydraulic dredges, except in few
places where shale rock is found 1c'
blocks the river for only brief pc
riod each year, and 1t would be pos
sible to keep a channel open through
, out the year IL the demands Of com
, merce warranted.
Governor Whitman reviewed tn
history of canal construction and de
yelopment in the Empire State
! These canals, he said, have f1oate'
323, 900 tons of freight. Thei
3 construction, maintenance and oper
| alton have cost the state many mil
3 lions of dollars, and they have re
Q turned millions of dollars to the stat
