rookie pitcher from the wilds of Ten

of practice, Jennings and his regulars
were just about paralyzed with joy.
For this lad, who had left a steady
job as clerk in the grocery store of

his fast ball that made Ty Cobb, Bob

look foolish.
When the kid kept the whole crew
mystified for days Jennings said:
He's there" The Tiger leader quizzed
the kid about obeying the new rules
regarding freak deliveries and the kid
replied:
They can't catch Joe Doaks I
don't apply no foreign substance dope
to the ball and l don't rub it on my
clothes or nothin' like that. There
amt no rules can catch me-"
Jennings quizzed the lad no further.
But the secret leaked out the other
night when Joe got too much milk
chocolate in him together with a
couple Of grape fruit and few sand
wfches-his usual midnight lunch.
Joe, in his idle moments in the store
had captured and trained a dozen lies
to do his bidding. When Joe took
! hold of a baseball and called to the
troupe they climbed out of his uni
form pocket and sat in a row on the
seam of the ball. They hung there

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The move
ments of W. J. Bryan in Washington
today attracted fully as much atten-
ton as did the meeting Of the demo
cratic national committee. The COM
m1ttee met here to name time and
place for the convention and to pass
upon resolutions putting the party on
record as favoring unqualified ratifi-
cation of the peace treaty.
Bryan arrived here this morning,
ostensibly to make a speech at the
Jackson day banquet tonight, but in
reaIity-in the belief of many-to
make an effort to capture the leader
ship OF the party. Democratic na.
ltional committeeman appeared almost
solidly in favor of the proposed reso
luton backing up Wilson In his treaty
ifight.
But Bryan, according TO the poli.i
cal gossip which is flying about. is
opposed TO IT. He wants a treaty
compromise quickly and Bryan is
nnd erstood to believe the democrats
OF the nation would rather follow hin,
and get some kind of a treaty than
follow the president and possibly get
no treaty at all. ..
The climax OF the Bryan-Wilson
situation is scheduled for tonight
when Wilson's message to the demo
Gratis is to be read at the Jackson
day dinner and Bryan is to make his
speech.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-The coun-
try wants the treaty, and 1t wants 1t
mighty badly: it does not care parti-
.cuiarly whether there are Teseryations
to it or not according to democratic
politicians here today for the national
committee meeting and Jackson day
dinner. The demand is strong in the
midwest and south democrats said, as
those sections see In restoration of
hope in return to normal business con-
ditions. Col. Sam Middon, Wichita,
Kas., and Col Charlie Higgins. st.
Louis, who spoke for that section Of
the country said the treaty IS the
uppermost thought among business
men and that IL the republicans let 1t
get into the campaign the people will
show in short order what they think
about the senate's delay in ratifying.
Chas Morris, Ohio, one Of Gov.
Cox's lfeutenants, reported that Ohio
is full of treaty psychology. Ratifica-
tion of the treaty In itself may not
have much to do with putting condi-
tions back to normal, but the psychol-
ogical effect, Morris said, will be tre-
mendous.
These views were echoed by vir.
tually all the delegates. Every time
a delegate was asked what the folks
al home had on their minds, he said
the peace treaty. The wet and dry
question it appears is now only the
subject of jokes. and dead as far as 1t
being Immediately revived as an issue
is concerned.
