Speed Is Great Essential
 To AM Good Ball Players
A Human Hack Always Slows Up the Base Running of a Rally-Speed Offsets the Lack of Good Pitchers
 and Hard Hittersz Bush Ideal Speed Artist
By JAMES J. CoRBETT

club-Peck, Bodie, Baker, Lewis, PipI and Pratt-all hard hitters; all dangerous men with the bat under any circum- stance. They have the hitting punch But they haven't all got speed
 We have the pitching talent. too. Shore, Quinn, Shawkey, Thormahlen, Mays and the rest are pitchers who can give anybody a battle. And they re smart, too. We have plenty of experi- enced talent-plenty of brains among our players-but some how the Tanks find the rowing harder than they should. We haven't had the best of luck, I'll admit. The breaks have gone against us time after time and our club has blown up after piling up a lead. But I've seen 50 many instances where a little more speed would have won games for us that I realize the value of speed more than than ever before"
 Among the players on the Yankees who lack the speed that Higgins craves to see are Bodie, Baker Pratt, Peckinpaugh and Hannah. Lewis is only fairly fast. He is faster in the field than on the bases. Bodie is the type of player who is liable to clog the sack any time, for he is always liable to hit, and if he gets on in the middle of a rally the Yank offensive is bound to slow up SC far as base-running goes.
 SOME SPEEDY ONES
 Players like Cobb, Kauff, Sisler, Milan. Kopp, Collins, Rousch, Hooper, Chap man, Carey and other speedy base-run- ners are the means of winning many games for their respective clubs. Ownie Bush, for instance, though he has grown heavy, is still a speedy base runner and heady one as well. Bush scores more runs in a season than any other short stop in the business, for he is hard man to pitch to and he gets on the bags Of course, it takes Cobb, Heilman or Veach to hit him home, but once he

ball?
 Ask nearly any manager in the majors today and the chances are you will be told that speed is practically as impor- tant as anything else.
 There are few players in the big show who may be chased as human hacks '' They are extremely slow runners and as rule they are kept on the roster, but only because of hitting ability.
 Speed in the field and on the bases has often held ball club up in pennant race when it's hitting or pitching fell down. The heavy-hitting club, it must be consistently heavy with the willow however. can get pretty good results without great amount of speed. But it must have good pitching to offset it's lack of swift-footedness afield and on the base paths. The club that combines speed and good pitching with fair hit ing, however, is the club with the power to make the best of every advantage
 Recent worlds series, I believe. dem- onstrate as well as anything else the value of speed. Snappy fielding and speedy base running has been one out standing characteristic with most of the American League champions Vf the last few years, and I need not recount how many world series the American league has accounted for as compared to the National which seems to have a pen chant for turning out heavy hitting teams that depend more on the bat than anything else to put them across

HIGGINS STATEMENT

Miller Higgins, who made his start as manager in the National league, real = izes the value Of speed. Miller doesn t discount heavy hitting. Neither does he belittle good pitching. which, we all know, is so necessary But he places speed on the essential list His 1919 Yankees furnish a good example. He ad- mits it himself. In a recent flaming bee Huggins made his stand plain. He said
 Give us speed and no one would need to worry about where the Yankees would finish. We have the pitchers and we have the punch, but we lack speed, which is essential to the winning club in our league
 "On paper I believe we have a club that compares favorably with any other team in baseball. In fact, there are few teams that look as good to me, with the possible exception of one or two positions But speed would offset this m confident it would.
 You don't see any Of our players beat ing the record for the 100-yard dash, and it isn't that they are especially slow, either. It's just the fact that they are not quite fast enough

THINK GOVERNORS
BILL WILL PASS
DESPITE HARD OPPOSITION III is
THOUGHT THE BILL WILL
BECOME A LAW

BOISE.-Despite a desperate fight
on the measure senate bill No. 10
was reported out of the committee of
the whole shortly after noon for pass
age. 1t will pass without question
after being read at length this after
noon, on rule suspension.
Fhe bill is Governor Davis consol-
idation measure putting nine depart
ment heads in the place of AZ as at
present.
There has been much opposition to
the bill, much of it oming from
friends of those who will be thrown
out of employment by it's passage.
Mason, democrat, of Shoshone coun-
ty, called the proposed bill failure
in other states. Adams of Madison,
read an extract from Governor Lod-
ems message to the Illinois legisla-
ture where it had bsen tried, in which
the governor called it efficient and
expense saving"
Lee of Bingham, the only republic
an opposed to the recommendation Of
the passage, explained it is too big for
immediate action and asked for fur
ther time. The committee reported it
favorably and Lee voted first against
the adoption of the favorable report.
Then changed his vote to agree with
the party vote. Lee claimed it may
have bearing on the presidential re-
suit in two years: Because if a mis-
take is made it may change the ad-
ministraation of Idaho" He also said
he would probably be for the bill but
the action is precipitaate.

LAST INFLUENZA
FLAG HAULED DOWN
CITY OF MOSCOW NOW FREE
FROM DISEASE BUT PUBLIC
MEETINGS ARE BANNED

The last two flags denoting influ-
enza quarantine of homes in oMscow
were hauled down today. For the
first time since early last October it is
believed the town is free from the
dread disease which has cost more
than a score of lives here and more
than six millions of lives in the world
But the ban has not been lifted. In
fact the regulations are to be enforced
more rigidly than ever for a time.
Churches and theaters must observe
the rule providing that every altern-
ate seat be vacant, and lodges and
other organizations will not be per-
mitted to hold banquets. Dancing is
positively forbidden either in public
halls or private homes and any one
going from Moscow to other points to
attend dances or other public gath
erings or entertainments will be quar-
antined in their homes as soon as the
facts become known.
Dr. Adair, city health officer, an
nounces that there will be no "let up"
in the regulations and that the rules
will be rigidly enforced until all dam
ger is past. He calls attention to the
fact that the disease is very bad in
other towns and some places have had
a third recurrence of the disease which
was worse than the first and second.

PITTSBURGH ADOPTS PLAN THAT

PITTSBURGH.-A novel plan for
protecting children who ride on pub

been devised by Mayor E. V. Babcock.
Under direction Of the city's chief ex-
ecutive. a survey of 'hilly" streets in

as a report is received from the sur
veyors, the mayor intends to declare
the designated streets closed to We

cred with snow. In this manner, the
mayor hopes to eliminate danger to
children, and at the same time, pro-
vide them with the popular winter
pastime minus the hazard
Mayor Babcock has also turned his
attention to providing summer pleas
ures in Pittsburgh. He has called on
social and welfare workers to cooper
ate in the framing Of the summer pro-
gram, which will include the removal
of keep p-off-the-grass signs in pub
lie parks. The mayor says that the
children and elders who visit the
parks should be permitted to tramp
the grass down in their pursuit of
happiness, and that they should be al

communication from Washington with
relation to the plans of Franklin X.
Lane, secretary of the interior, for
the reclamation of lands to be used by
soldiers and sailors who have been in
the service of their country:
Secretary Lane is before congress
after $1OO,OOO,000 for land develop
ment for returning soldiers. Presi-
dent approved in his message to con-
gress; Roosevelt approved before
death in a big magazine article. Lane
wants to create farms by reclalmlng

in south and clearing cut-over lands
in north. Every state effected. Pres
ent bill aquals only two-day cost OF

On Australian basis for same work a
proportional cost to America would
be four billion. Canada offers soldiers
a possible total of 800 acres land and
$4,000 cash Lane wants. to employ
soldiers on the reclamation work at
full wages, have them build the homes

buildings. No time to wait for al
ready surplus labor idle in many
states. Delay will postpone work into
1920. Lane appeared before caucus
of the house and made remarkable
speech quoting from some of the 1000
letters the soldiers have written him.
Women also writing. With the $780,
900 previously furnished for survey
the work has been carried on and
nothing stands in the way of gong
ahead but the governments loan, not

should not interfere with present farm

Even before war we had to import
