Tough on Gooch

Those in charge of baseball af- fairs at Pittsburg have given Johnny Gooch a pretty tough as- slgnment. Johnny was sent in to the game day or so after his arrival, to catch his old team mate, Johnny Morrison. That's all well enough. but when they elected to send him in to flag the slants of Hamilton. that was something else again. Gooch had never before tried to catch the wild man. That's pretty big responsibility for youngster to take upon his shoulders. A kid, breaking into the majors usually has his hands full in keeping his head on his shoulders. An entire game of ball revolves around the work of the catcher. He must carry more signals in his head than any other player. He must keep in behind the pitcher, and he must know the weakness of every batter. Of course, Gooch hasn't been up there long enough to learn the weaknesses of the batsmiths, and the chances are that Gibby signals him from tfe bench on how to pitch to certain men. Either that, or the pitcher takes the situation In his own hands.
 Rick Woodward tells me, how ever, that it was necessity pure and simple that put Gooch in the game so soon. Walter Schmidt has been out of the game for some time with injuries. Tony Brottem has been injured, too. This was one of the reasons that an S. o. s. came to Birmingham for John Beverly.

1t might be good idea to slip in good word or so about War wick, the new man who was sent here from Pittsburg. He per formed here in Mondays second game and looked good. Warwick IS great big fellow, with an ideal build for a catcher-almQs as large physically as John Pe- ters. He got one hit out of two times at bat and handled Whitey's Slants in acceptable fashion.
 Tooter Brandon, who has been doing the catching since Gooch departed, has been getting by in nice shape. Tooter is as gritty and as game as any of em, and 1t is surprising to see how he stands at the plate. and holds his own against much bigger fellows as they crash plateward with their spikes. l haven't seen the local entry give any man an inch of ground this season.
 Bernie's Twcnty-first
 Dutch Bernsen poled out his twenty-first circuit swat of the season in the eighth inning Of the first game Monday. The pan cleared the wall by many feet. Dutch now leads Bing Milfer's record by two, the former Tray eler having hung up l9 homers during the 1920 season.
 Incidentally it might be men tioned that Dutch, while running the team, has filled in nicely as substitute gardener. He has been holding down berth in right field in acceptable fashion. Dutch is not the fastest man ahoof in the world by any means, but he's sure flychaser, and has that instinct to get going after the, ball with the crack of the bat
 Boone With Tigers
 Charlie Frank didn't think that Dan Boone would ever amount to much as a pitcher, so he traded him off. Charlie got Fred Fraff in return for Boone, youngster. Strang Nicklin smiled Late this summer he smiled some more when he sold Daniel to the Detroit Tigers. Daniel has shipped out of the 'Nooga camp and is with the Tigers. It marks his second trip to the big tops. In 1919, after he had joined hands with Ray Rob erts, Tom Sheehan and Johnny Suggs in pitching the Crackers to pennant, Connie Mack bought him for fall delivery. He reported. got in few games and that winter was shipped back to Atlanta.
 Looks like it has been big summer for the Boone boys. Dan has gone to the Tigers. Ike las been leading the league in hit ting all summer. and will surely go to the majors by sale or through the draft.

DE VALERA VICTORY.
The decision to make today's session
secret was a tacit victory for De Valera
An open session will be held tomorrow.
The motion for a secret session was
made by DR.. White Eamonn. De Valera

Collins then got ths floor and made
fiery speech.

measure only, and the fact that there was
no positive feeling among the members OF
the Senate that the session would be
limited.
HOUSE MEMBERS
OBJECT TO BEING BOUND.
Many of the House members who voted
against the resolution, however, expressed
the opinion that the session should be
limited, but stated that they objected to
being bound by a written agreement. They
said they preferred a "gentlemn's agree
ment," but no such agreement was
reached.
The resolution to limit the session was
made by Representative George W. Sims
of Terre Haute, Charles W. Harlan Of
Warsaw and Murray S. Barker Of Thorn
town. Immediately upon its presentation
Representative Henry Abrams Of Indian
apolis moved that it be tabled and the
vote to table was almost unanimous. Mr..
Abrams said afterward that he did not
object to a short session, that he ex-
pected to introduce no bills, but that he
opposed a formal agreement.
Governor McCray and Edmund NJ. Was
muth, Republican State chairman, ad-
dressed the House caucus. The Governor
outlined the reformatory removal diff

be limited. He told the members he
was not presuming to dictate, that they
were free to do as they pleased, but he
respectfully and earnestly requested a
short session. And in his message to-
day he again pleaded for a short ses-
sion.
The power Of the Republican organiza-
ton was invoked in favor of a limited
session through Mr.. Wasmuth. He told
the members Of the House that they
should introduce no bills unless they be-
lieved them to be of sufficient importance
to merit the calling Of a special session.
He put his plea on an basis of duty to
the party.
