SEEKING
TOO MUCH SALARY

NEW YORK, April 19-with the
opening of the season nearly at hand
the Yankees are still minus the serv-
ices of Pitcher Dutch Leonard today
with little prospect that he will sign
According to Colonel Huston, part
owner Of the Yankees, Leonard wants
more money than Babe Ruth is get
ting from the Red Sox, and Ruth is
reported to have signed a three-year
contract calling for $4,000.
II am in favor of letting Leonard
stay out of the game If he thinks he
is justified in demanding more money
than Boston is paying George Ruth, -
is the way Colon Huston puts il.

Rochester team yesterday to the tune
OF IL TO Z. The day was cold and
raw, but a large crowd was out to
witness e bunch Of hitting and smart
fclding On both sides.
The Washington times., 1919-04-19

We were looking over the lineup
of the Los Angeles ball club the other
day, finding many old friends. Firm
stance, Wade Killifer is playing sec
ond and leading on; Jacques FouTnier,
once with the White Sox, is playing
first base; Samyouell Crawford is in
right field, and Paddy Driscoll, one of
the best quarterbacks we have ever
looked upon, is playing short.
At third base. with third place in
the batting order, we saw the name Of
kenworthy, and right there that con-
founded old memory got to work,
running the picture. Isn't it always
the way?
How Il All Began.
Years ago, when Clark Griffith was
looking for a good batsman, somebody
told him about a chap out in Califot-
mia. He was a demon clouter," as
the baseball writer's say il. He was a
brilliant performer afield and speedy
on the hoof"
And so we were introduced to one
William Kenworthy.
'IIe aint got legs long enough"
was the shrewd observation of one
Mique Martin, mayor of Cherrydale,
Mique being accustomed to gaze at
athletes as a buyer does at horses or
cows.
He lacks the class needed in this
league" was the official explanation
given us bY Manager Griffith. And
Kenworthy went away from here.
Then came the Federal League.
Played With Terriers.
Our former Griffman turned up
with the Federal League. being with
Fielder Jones St Louis Terriers, we
believe, and he went like a house
sbIaze. He was a demon clouter."
He was a brilliant performer afield
and speedy on the hoof."
Then came the surrender or the
victory OF organized basebalI-just
which depends upon your sense of hu-
MORN its battle with the FeTociOus
Feds. KenwOrthy came back to the
American League as a member Of the
Crowns. He was once more n tiZzle,
lacking the class needed in this
league just as Clark Griffith had
whispered in clarion tones.
During the winter a few years ago
We read with palpitatinS heart how
"Bil Kcnworthy, former big league
star" had fallen heir to a million
dollars or so, some old Eink croak-
ing in Pittsburgh, or Mckeesport or
Liberty. Pa, leaving Bill all his jack.
mere : a luCkN SUM- VIC NilOuEs III
How is IT, nobody ever dies and
leaves us bunch O. dough? Now, not
bein' athletic, save OF she indoor type,
we'd know what TO do with that
coin"
And Here He Turns Up.
And here he turns up again, still
playing ball and still lacking the
class needed in this league"
Blame it all on sweet memory" for
this junk you're reading.
Only for sweet memory" we'd have
read that "Kenw'y. 3b," and gone
right along down to Fournier in
fourth place without hesitation.
We'd have noted his three assists
without miscuc. We might have
wondered whether they were hot of
the bat or just dinky rollers, but We
would never in all this wide. wide
world have stopped to say to our
self:
That's old Bill kenworthy, the
Federal League star with the short
legs. who WIS here once. Wonder did
he blow in his million, or did he buy
Liberty bonds with il? Or did he
ever get il in real money? Playin'
third base in tho bushes don't sound
like million dollar stuff to us"
And now, you folks who've read
this far. do you think he ever Got
that million?

D|AMONDYEAR
IS OFF TODAY
By LOUIS A. DOUGHER.

Washington's 1919 baseball season
gets under way, today at $3.50 o'clock
when Clark Griffth's peppery band
tackles . the new York Giants at
Georgia avenue in the first of two
exhibition contests to be shown Cap
ital City rooters. Harry Harper and
Jim Shaw are carded to do the fling
ing for the home boys.
The rooters are greatly interested
in Grifns 1919 lineup and there will
be many critical eyes watching the
antics Of the newest short-fielder, Ike
Davis, and the newest second base
man, Hal Janvrin. Ray Morgan's sue
ceSsor has been seen here before, but
always in 9 Boston uniform. Davis
is getting his first big league trial.
I'm satisfied with the looks of my
ball club" says Manager Griffith.
Davis is green, of course, and has
some things yet to learn, but the boy
has intelligence and have no doubt
Of his ability to pick up the so-called
inside stufP used in this league.
"Janvrin isn't quite himself yet, but
exercise is rounding him to and he'll
be hitting in a couple Of weeks. Then
4 a
strong as that Of last year, il not
bit better"
Same Old OutheIders.
The GriHs have the same old out
helders booked for todsy's contest
shanks, Milan and Rice. They are
well known and are sure to be given
= welcome by the bugs.
Joe Shannon, last year with the
Baltimore Orioles, is with the cIuD
and il is possible that he may be seen
in action either today or tomorrow.
He is the only new outhelder in the
bunch.
Behind the bat is SLAM" Agncw,
once with the Browns before he es-
capped to Boston. Agnew's reputation
is we'll known He is one of the best
throwing catchers in the big leagues.
One new twirler will be shown the
fans, Harry Thompson. a southpaw.
Thompson was drafted from Toronto
IN the fall of 1917, but he was at
Camp Meade all last summer, and so
the fans here did not see him.
Play at O'Clock.
Tomorrow's game, the first Sunday
game OF the season, will start at
o'clock, with Walter Johnson, the
Kansas Cannoneer, occupying the
well known box for the home brigade.
Box seats both for today's game and
tomorrow's went on sale yesterday at
Spalding's, and banner throng is eX-
pected TO be on the job tomorrow.
Majordomo Odcs, comber of the
succulent grass, rises to announce
that the field Is in excellent condition.
"Perduke' Fowler confesses that "all
is in readiness" Demon Thompson
begs 70 state that his gang will be
behind the bars this year up in the
second tier. They should have been
behind the bars somewhere long ago.
Washington's baseball bugs have
been chattering louder and louder
every day for the past two weeks.
Evidently this is going to be the best
baseball season in five years.

with Justice Gavagan his replying af-
fidavit to the counterclaim of his
wife for a separation and her mo-

With his papers Mr.. Stokes filed
note, written to him by his son,
whom he names in his action against
his second wife, in which "Weddie, .
as he is called, complies with his
fathers request to reduce to writing
what he had already told him. The
note submitted to Justice Gavagan
reads:

Mr.. Stokes, in his answer to the
charges of his wife in her separa-
ton suit, denies all the material facts
alleged. which included cruelty. In
fact, Mr. Stokes alleges that he not
only never tried to choke his wife,
but that on one occasion she scratch

ed his face SO badly that he was COM
PEELED to remain at home for week.
He says Mrs. Stokes also threatened
to kill him. The millionaire plaintiff
denies he used any profane language
toward his wife, but alleges that Mrs.
Stokes did employ such language to-
ward him.
| Mrs, Stokes Charges Fraud.
| Mr.. Stokes, however, was not the
only one of the litigating couple to
take action today. Mrs. Stokes filed
a suit in the supreme court asking
for the cancellation of an instrument,
which she says her husband compelled
her to sign in 1911, and which turn
ed over to the Mervyn Realty Com
pany all of the twenty-five parcels
of property owned by Mr.. Stokes.
| Mrs. Stokes alleges that she signed
this paper under compulsion without
Knowing it's contents or purport
and the transfer of the Stokes prop
erty to the realty company controlled
by him was in pursuance of con-
spiracy to defraud her of her law
full dover rights in the estate of her
husband. She says there was no
consideration for the transfer.
In this action, Mrs. Stokes reiter
ates an allegation she made in her
separation suit-that her husband
was addicted to the use of drugs, a
charge which Mr.. Stokes takes occa-
sion to deny in his affidavit today.
Mr.. Stokes says in his affidavit
that he has no intention to question
the legitimacy of his two children
by his present wife. He also denies
her statement that he wishes to cut
them adrift and points out to the
court that he has asked for the Gus
tody of those children, in his suit
for divorce.

incidents from time to tmie
The afternoon of June T, 1911, he
was found with three bullets wounds
and revolver in his hand on the
fourth floor of a New York apart
ment house. In an apartment on the
same floor were two young women,
Lillian Graham, an actress, and Ethel
Conrad an artist, greatly agitated,
while three Japanese men servants
were huddled in a corner.
In describing the incident to the
police, Stokes said the japanese had
held him while the girls shot. The
women did not deny the shooting, but
claimed Stokes attempted to use
force in the recovery of certain let
tiers and Miss Conrad rushed in and
shot at Mr. Stokes. Mr.. Stokes de-
clared the women had tried to black
mail him into paying $4,000 for
certain letter of his.
Mr.. Stokes is a son of the late
James Stokes and the nephew and
namesake of the philanthropic w. E.
Dodge. In 1911, he was married to
his present wife, less than half his
age, but that was not his only matri-
monial venture. His first wife now
is Mrs. Phillips Lydig.

SHE TELLS HOW
Miss Ida NJ. Shilling, home dem
onstration agent for the department
of agriculture, has prepared a weeks
menu for the hypothetical family of
five, so arranged that the three child
rem, one of them under years of
age, are cared for as well as the
grown-ups, and the feed bill for the
whole family will be only $50 per
month. Americas housewives say it
can't be dole, but
'The main thing to remember"
Miss Shilling declares, sis to divide
the food dollar so that twenty cents
more or less, is spent for fruits and
vegetables, twenty cents or more for
milk and cheese, twenty cents or less
for meat, eggs, fish and the like,
twenty cents or more for breads| and
cereals, and twenty cents or less for
sugar, fats, tea, coffee, chocolate and
favoring."
The weeks menu repeated with APP
propriate variations governed by the

WILLIAM @. MITS0N
OF WEST DERBY DIES
MONDAY AFTERNOON
Had Been in I'll Health for Four
Years Since Death of His
Wife

William Mitson, for many years a
resident of West Derby, died at the
home of his sister, Mrs. Henry
Squires, Monday afternoon, Feb. 8.
Mr.. Mitson was man of sterling
character, his unselfshness and gen
erous nature his great sympathy and
desire to help everyone who appealed
to him and many who did not, made
place in the hearts of great many
who will cherish his memory for all
time. Mr.. Mitson had been in i'll
health for four years failing rapidly
after the death Of his wife in 1914
The deceased was born in Magog, P.
O., Sept. IL, 1848. He came to live in
Vermont in his early twenty's. He
married Emma E. Farr of Holland, a
devoted wife and ready helpmate
Mr. Mitson had been tenderly cared
for the last three years by his broth
er and sister, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Squires. Nothing that would add te
his comfort was left undone. He
leaves beside the above mentioned

Woman on School Board
Stirs Up Discussion

Mention was made in Monday s
Caledonian of the agitation" over
the election of a woman on the school
board. The item concluded with that
much overworked saying that it is a
wrong time to "change horses while
crossing stream.' In electing the
third member of a school board of
three, there never would come time
when you would not be crossing a
stream; there never should come a
time in live community when there
should not be something of import
ance just ahead to accomplish. No
tice, in the first place that it is asked
that only one woman not three be
placed on the board; and secondly,
that it is where matters of import
ance are arising in regard to the vel
fare of children that woman's view
point is needed. How many fathers
left with the care of young children
have not often longed for the heir
and counsel of the mother? Then
surely in dealing with SO Or more
children, why should not woman's
advice and assistance be of the ut
most importance?
