TRIMMED DEMOCRATS
House Republicans Easy Winners In
Annual Baseball Game.

Washington, June 10.-President
Wilson laid aside the cares OF state
Saturday to see the Democrats and
Republicans of the house of repre-
sentatives struggle through their an
nual baseball game, which went for
six and one-half innings and was
staged for the benefit of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. For once there was
no debate as to the winner. The Off
ciaI scorer said the minority represen-
tatives had 10 runs to for the ma
jority party players, and nobody dis
puted him.
Besides the president, vice-Presi-
dent Marshall, Speaker Clark and
many high government officials were
gathered at American League park.
All appeared to enjoy the game. The
players liked it until the novelty Of
running the bases and chasing the ball
was supplanted by weary muscles and
shortening breath. Officially, the
game was called on account of dark
ness. though play ended long before
the sun went into eclipse.
The Democrats did well at batting
practice, but after stopping long
enough to pose flor the movies with
Speaker Clark, they were unable to
solve the delivery of Representative
Mudd of Maryland. They failed to
put over a run in the first inning.
but improved enough to score two in
the second with three AIDED in their
big inning-the sixth.

Kansas 4 ", Indiana 4, Ohio State 9,

HE HAS NO Peer
Walter johnson Most Valuable
Pitcher in Baseball.
Babe Ruth His Only Rival in
Either League.
BY JACK VEIOCK.


New York, June 10.-Walter john
king among major league pitchers
now.
He stands out boldly and conspic-
uously among his brothers of the, slab
bling fraternity as a baseball pitcher,
number of hurlers in both American
and National leagues who possess
world of class, Walter is supreme.
Babe Ruth of the Red Sox, is just
as valuable a man as johnson. Some
critics will argue that he is more val
liable, but from a standpoint of pitch
ing ability alone Johnson appears to
have the call.
johnson Not a Hitter.
The great Kansan is not hitter like
Ruth. He is not a player who can grab
a glove and hold down first base or
the outfield as Ruth can, but as a
past master in the art of pitching
alone, Walter is a bell ringer.
Since the great Alex left the Cubs
to don the khaki Walter has no ri
val in either league who quite meas
ures up to his high standard as Hin
doc of the slab. Alex was as great as
johnson during his active days in the
majors. but Alex is gone.
A most vivid example of Johnson's
greatness was established May Is
when he pitched and won an eighteen
inning game for Washington against
the Worlds Chamion Chicago Sox.
beating them by count of 1 to o, and
helping to win the game by a long
single that put a runner in position to
score.
Game For History.
That game of ball will go down IN
baseball annals as one of the clean
est-cut and most perfect pastimes
played in many year, for there were
only nine players used by each team
thruout the eighteen innings and not
a misplay was made by either side.
Considering the fact that Johnson
has been pitching big league ball for
eleven years-pitching in masterful
and brilliant style and winning a big
per cent of his games with a second
division club behind him-there is no
COOL argument, as we see it, to offset
any claims of superiority that are
made for him here.
