Who HAS BEST

who has the best throwing arm
In the major leagues?
rms question will never be def
nltely settled. Although all big
ieaguers are supposed to own power
iuI throwing whips. it is a fact that
only ABOUT dozen in each major
league nave really good arms.
Ihe lack Of great pegging whips
Is apparent among the infeIders a
great deal more than among out
fielders
Among the inhelders noted for
their throwing ability may be men

Peckinpaugh, Of the Yanks; Oscar
Witt, Of the Red Sox, and Larry

may point to Rabbit" MaranvfIle.
of Boston; Lena" BIackbourne. Of
the PhilIies; ''Heinie" Groh. of Gin

Among the outhelders are Bob

of the Red SOx; Duff Lewis and Wick.
of New York; Iris Speaker, OF
Cleveland, in the American League.
In the National you will find Ross
Young. of the Giants, and Burns. OF
the same club.
Throwing fast and getting a ball
away quickly are two different
things and managers prefer a player
who gets a ball away quickly and
does not throw so fast 10 one who
gets away slowly, but throws with
wonderful speed. Two players, Du-
gan. Of the Athletics. and Maran-
vile. Of the Boston Braves. are rare
exceptions, as each does not alone
throw with great speed. but also
gets the ball away quickly. Aaran-
willie throws with an overland sweep
from any position and the ball
travels almost on a line. Dugan
throws with a sort Of side-srm mo-
tion. He does not peg as accurate
ly as MaranvilIe but throws as fast
and gets the ball away quicker

Chicago. Dec. 2.-Restrictions on
the use of coal, already put into eff

where the pinch of necessity had
been felt, to-day were extended
throughout the nation under an or

In Kansas, where volunteers work

of State and Federal troops and in
the New River fields of West Vir-

increased production. In the former
seven pits were worked and in West

They must however. be simplified,

for your consideration certain

in connection with the administra-

which have my approval and sup

| that in dealing with this matter the
! present law should not be disturbed
so far as regards taxes for the cal
endar year 1920, payable in the cal
endar year 1921. The Congress
might well consider whether the

whether they may not, on the con-
