c. u. TRACK ATHLETES
CONTINUE WORKOUTS

During the Easter holidays the
Catholic U. track team. most OF
whom remained at school over the
vacation. are receiving hard work
outs daily from Bill Foley, the
Brookland track mentor.
Foley, who has developed some
wonderful men in the past, declares
that next season should see the Red
and Black on the sport map, so
far as his end of 1t Is concerned.
He Is devoting much time to the
development of Johnny Mclaughlin.
the freshman distance runner, and
his hopes run high on this young
ster who is a, hard and earnest
worker.

ITO those that hath shall be Civ
en-" Always. The umpire has had
his troubles for fifty years, and now
they have piled on an extra allot-
ment in the minute inspection of
freak ball deliveries. The only
chance the umpire has to duck
trouble now is to grab each pitch
er as he enters the box. tear of his
glove, manicure his nails and ex-
tract the last drop of saliva from
his system. After which the con-
test can proceed in a comparatively
fair amount Of peace.
Johnson's Slow Ball.
Something like q matter of twelve
or thirteen years ago a big blond
hick arrived in Washington from
weiser. Idaho. .
His name was Walter johnson.
"AI he's got Is speed" was the
critical survey. Yes, that was about
all.
And then as the seasons began to
fit by the noncombatants and the
embattled athletes were saying:
But he can't last. He'll wear his
arm out buzzing 'em through at that
pace"
But he Is still buzzing 'em. What
they overlooked was this: John
son had the easiest, simplest pitch
ing motion in baseball-a motion
that operated after the manner of
a machine Without a jerk or a
quiver or a kink.
There was no snap of the wrist,
no straining of the elbow, no heav-
ing of the shoulders. His delivery
rippled off as a stream flows dowH
the smoothest sort of river bed.
Year after year dazzled batsmen
have looked for this speed to wane.
Yet last season. with losing team,
Johnson allowed fewer earned runs
than any pitcher in either league
and he was working in a league
that carried Cobb, Ruth, Collins.
Jackson, Sisler, veach and a num-
Der of others whose batting eyes
are neatly adjusted:
Working for some n-making
club, johnson woud be good for

forty victories, from five to ten
more than any man in baseball.
If he has lost his speed. there
are still several pitchers who would
like to acquire the marvellous slow
ball which he pushes across the
plate.
Odds and Such.
Jim Corbett knocked out Sullivan
three years before Carpenter was
born. And even that far away they
were betting five to one on Sullivan.
1t may be true that Sullivan was
getting old and his condition was
none too good. But for all, they
were betting fve to one on him as
he fought.
1t may be that Carpenter would
have no chance against Dempsey
Just as Corbett had no chance
against old John L.
Odds in a championship boxing
match don't always mean a lot.
Last year in the two big sporting
events OF the season Willard and
the White Sox were the favorites.
The biggest cinch is the one that
rarely comes OF.
And yet there are stfil a few
cinches left. One of these is that
the. next world series won't be be-
tween Boston and Philadelphia.
Cincinnati's outlook this season
depends largely upon how much
temperament a championship sea-
SON engendered. The average hu-
man can stand up under a failure.
but not-one in a million can stand
success.
They may not like us in Europe.
but for that matter Chicago and
Michigan refused to have anything
to do with one another for fourteen
years.
In the process of keeping your
eye on the ball try to imagine it's
mint julep or a Bronx cocktail.
IL that doesn't help. trade your
clubs for barrel of grape Juice.

HATCHETTTES MEET
= CATHOLIC u. NINE

The Catholic University baseball
nine meets the newly formed George
Washington aggregation this after
noon on the Brooklanders' home
grounds. Being a new organiza ton
not much is known of the Hatchet-
lite club. However, as has been no.
ticed IN the past, whenever these
two District rivals met, the mem
bers of each team were out for
victory from beginning to burial,
so q first class contest is antici-
pated.
In all probabilities Coach Moran
will send Kendrick to the mound
to bring home victory to the Red
and Black nine, and Corwin will do
the receiving. Play will be called
at 3:15.

Of ]. Dahlgren's Wood Violet, was
probably the feature of the days

paying more than 20 to one.

COUNTY TEACHERS
 FOR ORGANIZATION Council of Teachers to Con- fer With Board In Ad-
 justing Differences

A tentative plan of organization, to be known as the Teachers Council. and which will meet with the County Board of Education to present grievances and offer suggestions relative to the gem cral welfare of the teachers of Jefferson county. was unanimously adopted at a meeting held by the Jefferson County Teachers Association yesterday.
 Constitution and bylaws were sug- gested. and representative from each of the school districts was selected to form this council J A. Harper was elected president of this special comr mittee and Miss Margaret Ingram sec retary. The following were the diff ferent representatives selected: k. K McA lory, Mrs. V, $. Elliot. J, G. Manuel J. H. Horton. Mrs. l.. T. Wall, Miss Irene Hogan, H. M sharp, E. F. Bent ly and Miss Katie Bell Harrison.
 A special meeting was hel1 by this committee immedi ltely after the regu- lar programme of the teachers asso- citation. and it was decided to hold their next meeting at the offices of the su- perintendent of education on next Sat urday morning.
 The plan adopted by the teachers was
 suggested by County Superintendent M. R. Baker last year as means
 whereby the teachers of the county could present their grievances to the Board of Education
 In speaking for the board, MT Baker stated yesterday. as he did on the oc- casion when the plan was suggested to the Jeffe County Teachers As sociation. that they would he ready to listen at any time to any suggestions made by the teachers. and that the board also would be ready 0 cooperate with
 the teachers in settling any difficulty that might exist as to conditions sch hedules and recommendations

 ciation heard addresses from pr. Rufus

 At late hour last night they were still coming. utilizing the last few moments in which to qualify themselves as regu- lar voters of Jefferson county.
 Soon afternoon the regular receipts gave out and it was necessary for Mir flaw kins to have some black receipts printed This only delayed the payment of the poll tax for a short while. Regular re- ceipts, as soon as they are received from Montgomery, will be mailed to those who were issued the temporary form during the latter part of yesterday.
 Never before in the history of Jeff ferson county has there been such a rush to pay poll taxes. stated MT. Hawkins last night 'and not only were the taxes just for the present year, but hundreds and hundreds paid back taxes. There were many instances where citizen would pay s2S.50 in order to be qualified to vote in the coming elections"
