expansion of recent months possible,

DOOM OF SPITBALL
MAY DRIVE SEVERAL
HURLERS FROM GAME

The passing Of the spitball In
the American Association presages
one of the most revolutionary
moves seen in the two major
leagues since the foul strike rule
was made.
It Is the first step taken by any
baseball organization. major or
minor, against the moist delivery,
altho for several years magnates
have discussed its abolition. 1t
seems reasonable, now that a
league of the standing of the as
bociation has taken drastic action
against it that the spitball is
doomed to oblivion.
The main arguments against the
spitball are not directed against 1t
so much as they have been against
other freak deliveries which have
developed from its use.
The emery ball, the shine ball
and a number of other deliveries
which have carried pitchers along
for a season or two are merely
manifestations of the splitter.
Several pitchers have carried
pieces OF slippery elm when they
went on the mound to produce a
a1ippery saliva which would cause
the ball to slip more easily out of
the hand. Some, 1t is claimed,
have used licorice, tobacco and
other artificial salivary stimulants.

Blind Pigs of Seattle Are Scenes
Of Comedy In Monte Carter Show

'tHip! Hip! Hooray!" is the
show chosen by Monte Carter and
his musical comedy company for
the big second weeks offering at
the Oak theater, formerly the Pan
tages. 1.-THE Suffragettes" was so
successful for the first weeks run
that long engagement is predict
ed for the comedian and his clever
associates.
IL the new show Mr.. Carter re-
tains the character OF Izzy, the
funny Hebrew, which he essays in
all his plays. The other players
in the cast change their roles but
Mr.. Carter remains in the part that
has been his for a number of
years.
Mr.. Carter makes Izzy an old
sport in this comedy. He goes to
Seattle after the ban is lifted with
his prospective son-in-law, played
by George X. White. He re-
mains away from home for SO
hours and imbibes freely at the
blind pigs. He meets an adven-
turess and invites her to his home
and then the fun starts, for he
finds himself in complications
from which he finds it difficult to
extricate himself. Mr.. White has
an eccentric role which is a toppy
sauce to the piece.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1918-01-12

The shine ball, which some
American league managers de-
clare was the reason for Eddie CT
cotte's phenomenal success last
year, is produced in this manner.
One of the objections to the
spitball is that 1t is hard for field
ers to handle on account OF it's
slippery surface.
The effect of removing the spit
ter from baseball probably would
relieve several high-cIass pitchers
from their present berths. There
are a few who rely on the splitter
as their chief article of trade and
without 1t would be worthless.
Dave Danforth of the White
Sox, Jeff Tesreau of the Giants,
Coveleskie, Russell of the Yanks,
are among the pitchers who might
be affected.

In Tuesdays State election the en-

tire state was light. At this time
the returns are not all in but enough
counties have reported to indicate
that the democratic majority will be
between 10000 and 10000. There
were no election surprises and the
result was as expected, although the
republicans endeavored to stage a
successful gum shoe campaign.
John X. Shields was elected United
States Senator over H. Clay Evans,
Judge Albert H. Roberts was an
easy winner over his opponent, and
Harvey H. Hannah was again elected
railroad commissioner. Eight demo-

men were elected The legislature
and state senate will have its usual
democratic majority.

CARROLL REPUBLICAN
Usual Majority Cast Againt Dem
Ocratic Ticket

Carroll County as usual last Tues
day voted a safe majority in favor
of the republican ticket.
1t was a beautiful day and many
voters stayed at home and looked
after their farm work rather than go
to the polls and express their choice
of the candidates in the field, and
consequently the vote was light.
The republicans made an aggres-
sive fight and carried the county for
their entire ticket by between 300
and 400. The interest in the result
was not sufficient, however, to cause
the returns to be gathered as prompt.
ly as,is usually the custom and the
exact ma0trities will not be known
until the vote is eanvassed and given
out Monday.
Locally there was only ere contest.
The race between c. w. Brooks, re-

crat, ELECTED some interest, but
Brooks was elected by something like
$50 votes.
