There will be seventeen spit ball
pitchers playing in the major leagues
this season. eight of them in the
American league and nine of them in
tn senior organization.
The moist ball twirlers of the Ban
Johnson circuit are Quinn, Ayres.

Faber and Leonard.
Those in the National league are
Grimes, Mitchell, Douglas, Fillingin.
Rudolph. Fisher. Goodwin. Ring and
Doak. The last named is a Cardinal
hold-out. He recently returned his
contract unsigned to the st. Louis
Club. and with it was a letter in

THINK BRYAN HARRIS IS
SURE TO Be SUCCESSFUL

Connie Mack expects great things
M Bryan Harris. the Texas pitcher.
Down at Lake Charles, La, last
spring, Harris had more stun than
anybody else in camp. but when the
season started, his lack of experience
placed him at a disadvantage.
Harris found himself around the
middle of the race and pitched re-
markably good ball for the rest of
the season, when II is considered that
ne had a tail-end team in back OF him.
This year Harris, who is quick
learner, should show the effects of a
years experience, and be q valuable
man for the Athletics from the go-off.
In any event, Harris looks to be the
best pitching prospect in the Ameri-
can League.

Sam Langford Wasn't
Worrying Any About
Third Man in Ring.

Billy Mccartney pops up with a
new Langford story: When Sam
Langford went to London to tight
Ian Hague he dropped in to see the
officials of the London Sporting
Club, before which organization he
was to meet the then latest English
heavyweight dream. Sam talked in
his jollyNway for half an hour or so
and the officials were highly i'm
pressed with Sans happy-go-lucky
manner. Finally, one of the clubs
big guns remarked that he was as
tonished that Langford had not done
the usual thing American, talked OF
the referee.
ANY time an American boxer per-
forms at the club" he said, the
first and last bit of conversation
concerns the referee. IL seems to
be the thing uppermost in their
minds. You are an exception, Mr..
Langford."
well. All tell you ALL" said Sam,
"Ah don't bother nobuddy win dat
club referee question. All always
carries nah OWN referee into de
ring"
"oh. my deah Langford." said the
official with a start, you CAWN'T
do that here, old man. You may do
that sort OF thing in the States, but
never here. We cawn't allow IL, and
that's final, sir"
"Ah guess you all doan' get me-"
said Sam with yard-wide grin.
"You see" added Sam with sol

Kirk Miller GQzeS in on
Boston Terrier ShOW

One purp was stricken with dis
temper which quickly spread to the
women.
The former had to be taken out
and shot. All the men wished they
could get shot, too. Or even half
shot.
Instead OF being judged for rug
gedness. brute strength and saw
ageness. the mongrels were awarded
prizes along suffragette lines.
Points were decided on condition of
their claws, manicuring OF their
ears, color OF ribbon worn abou
neck and length OF tail, If any.
1t was estimated that two hun
dred cat chasers were in the en-
semble.
The Boston Bull Terrier is noted
for its daring savagery when pur-
suing a winged butterfly.
He makes a splendid watchdog in
the daytime.
Around the home he Is of par
ticular value as a scavenger. With
a bull terrier in the home you
dos't need to worry whether the
garbage man comes or not.
As puppies. they are simply ex-
cruciating. Their favorite foods as
infants are gum shoes, umbrellas,
new hats and strangers.
During yesterdays show the dogs
laughed most of the time. They
were wondering how Harry Ward
man is ever going to get rid OF the
fieas.

dog show was a bowling success.
1t was held at wardman Bark
Din.
The creme de la milk of society
was there thick as mud and twice
as gooey.
The grill Room of W-ardmans
was converted for the nonce into
a kennel.
Animation marked the scene. .
Puppies whined, whelpling wor-
rled, women crooned, ladies
swooned and strong men grew pale.
Society surely rubbed elbows
with muttdom. The gowns that
were at Wardman's yesterday are
at the cleaners today. ..
1t was a great day for man.
woman and beast.
First the folks looked at the dogs
and then the hounds pipped the
gentry.
1t was show whether you were
in the kennels or on the floor.
Soon the people got tired of lamp
ing terriers and then the bull
dozers grew weary blinking at the
mob. so they started the first dog
opera at o'clock p. m.
You couldn't have heard a piano
