Great Work by a Great Pitcher

While many base ball pitchers have
accomplished the remarkable feat of
preventing the opposing team from
making single "hit" in game, none
has scored this record with such gen
eral acclaim as Walter johnson, who
yesterday, after years of effort, reach
ed that zenith of base ball ambition.
For Walter johnson, long rated as one
of the best pitchers ever known, has
heretofore not quite achieved the mo
hit" point, and the country-that part
of it which is interested in base ball,
and that means very large section
has long wondered and has hoped that
before he retired from the game he
would turn this trick.
Yesterday he did it, and Boston was
the victim The accounts of the game
show that it was very easily done. But
for single "boot" in the field, not a
man would have reached base in the
entire game. The great pitcher struck
out ten opposing batsmen, walked"
none and had all who reached the ball
popping up or sending comparatively
easy flies to the outfeld or bounders
to the infield. The only really diff
cult chance in the game was the very
last, in which, appropriately enough,
johnson himself made the play at first
base and put the final stamp of success
upon his long ng-continued effort to ac-
complish the base ball record perform
ance.
In the past, while other pitchers, of
really less ability, were achieving this
result, johnson has been coming close
to the mark, but has been kept from
lit by narrow chances. Now it was a
fielder who did not quite sufficiently
stretch himself for flying or a bound
ing ball. Or again, as on one occasion,
it was field crowd that held back a
fly chaser who would otherwise have
captured the soaring sphere.
1t is gratifying to those who have
long admired this remarkable pitcher,
whose modesty has endeared him to
multitudes, that when he did get to
the "no-hit" goal he did it cleanly,
and with a perfect record Some
pitchers have gained this record by
passing" dangerous batsmen. Yes
terday Barney" took a chance on
every man and walked nobody. But
for that one "bobble" in the field he
would have had the extraordinary and
perhaps unequaled record of having
been faced in the entire game by only
twenty seven men, not one of whom
set foot upon a base bag. AS it was,
the achievement was triumph, and
the base ball world rejoices, regard
less of club partisanship, for the high
est merit has come to pitcher who
is universally respected and admired.
And it is especially gratifying to see
this record gained when, according to
some pessimists, the great pitcher has
seemed to be Slipping" after his long
and honorable career Of great per-
formances.

Chicago, April -1.-Syncopating,
melodies, blown thru saxophones, are
all the rage today.
Jazz music, introduced by this wind
instrument, is riding the crest of popu-,
larity wave with the result that the
piano, drum, violin and other music
making devices are a drug on the
market.
Saxophones are selling two and
three to one of every other instrument
bought.
"The people want jazz" is the ex-
PLANTATION given for the demand by
Hugh I. Lehman, manager of large
musical instrument firm here.
The saxophone plays no favorite. he
said.
.'They flock in here. the old and the
Young, to buy saxophones," he said.
I'VE can't begin to supply the demand.
All we can do is to take their order,
their first payment and leave the rest
to the manufacturer"
The demand for se&ophones. Leh-
mann said, began when jazz started
to become popular. ..-

MAY DICTATE THE NOMINATION

Washington, April President
Wilson'S health is such that it will
be impossible for him to go thru a
third presidential fight without dan
ger of another collapse, it was learned
today.
Democrats in congress who were
worrying about Wilson running for a
third term now appear satisfied he
will not do SO. Their efforts hence
forth will be concentrated on trying
to make him admit it. so the field may
be cleared for the Democratic candi-
dates. Wilson is expected to maintain
silence and in this way keep his party
leadership.
Wilson Is Undecided.
Wilson, it is understood, favors the
sending of uninstructed delegates to
the San Francisco convention. William
&c. McAdoo's recent declaration in IA
vor of .uninstructed delegates was con-
sidered reflection Of White House
policy in this regard.
Under such conditions the president
is expected to try to dictate nomina-
ton of his choice. a man to whom he
will delegate the task of carrying on
the fight for the League of Nations
without reservations.
Wilson, it is believed, has not yet
decided to whom he will throw his
support.
McAdoo was originally favored at
the White House, then was eclipsed
by Attorney General Palmer and now
lit is reported that he is again being
looked upon with favor.
