Hitting TWirIers
Star In Major Leagues
BY Robert [. Ripley

by nO0SIb -. nipfSJ
Pitchers are usually placed at the
very bottom of the batting order.
AS rule they rate it.
But-exceptions make the rule.
There are many pitchers who are
exceptional batters.
If a twirler is blessed with a bat
ting eye that enables him to win
more games with his bat than with
his arm he is taken from the mound
and placed in another position where
he can play every day.
If you still think that all pitchers
are poor litters just remember that
Sisler broke into the league as a
pitcher.
When Walter Ruether. the Brook
lyn southpaw. loses his ability to de-
ceive opposing batters he probably
will try his hand in the outfield or at
first base and continue his career at
the other end of the perennial contest
between the batter and the finger.
More than one pitcher, reaching the
end of his rope as a hurler. but
blessed with more than average skill
as a batter, has made this shift. and
the colorful Brooklyn southpaw is
nothing if not a formidable man with
the stick. He is one of the best
pitcher -batters that ever laid bat
against a fast one, and the list OF
hard hitting pitchers is a long one.
During the earlier days of his ca
reer as a Giant, Matty was hard
and prolific hitter. and so was George
Wiltse, who played first base in the
international League for several sea-
sons after he had outliyed his useful
ness as a finger. Walter johnson, for
many years ranking pitcher of his
time, always swung a wicked mace
and the daddy of ,em all. Mr. George
Herman Ruth, was first class
southpaw pitcher before Ed Barrow
then manager of the Boston Red SoN,
and now business manager of the
Yankees, converted him into an out
fielder.
Cy Seymour, who led the National
League batters while playing the out
field for the Cincinnati Reds. was
another reformed pitcher who might
have been a finger all his days II
his hands hadn't been so small that
he never could get control.
To continue list that might be
carried through a column or more,
there was Ray Caldwell former Yam
kee and ex-Cleveland Indian. and al
ways a dangerous hitter in pinch,
while among the presented pitch

FRESNO. Cal, April 27. - Jimmy
Murphy won the 150-mile automobile
race against field Of nine, in one
hour, u minutes and 80 seconds here
today. Murphy took the lead in the
second lap and was never headed,
crossing the line a lap and three
quarters ahead of Frank Elliott, who
was second Harry Harris was third.
Art Klein was fourth, Pietro Bor-
dino fifth ard Jerry Monderlitch
sixth. Peter de Paolo narrowly es-
capped serious injury in the 99th lap

BILLY A[GER WINS TEN round
DECISION OVER JOHNNY WEBER

stood toe to toe and slugged. and
each time Jimmy forced King to back
away In the third round the going
was getting rough and King forced
Douglas into a neutral corner. Doug
las tried to clip King on the jaw
and missed and King shot left to
the groin. Douglas tried to tell the
referee he was fouled. King was
fighting ano a quick right TO the
stomach crumpied him. Referee
Garcia didn't know what to do about
it and Douglas seconds carried him
to his corner. The referee didn't
count and he didn't give Douglas the
decision-he finally walked over to
Douglas corner and asked Jimmy II
he was fouled; when Jimmy failed
to respond he raised Kings hand IN
victory.
Garcia stated after the fight that
Douglas was fouled. but he gave the
decision to King after Jimmy told
him he didn't need a doctor. The de-
lay in making his decision looked bad
to the crowd. If Douglas was fouled
he should have been given the de-
cision and If it was kayo the ref
cree should have counted him out.
King hal been hitting low in the
other rounds and his left was plainly
below the belt. He followed quickly
with a right 70 the stomach which
probably crumpled Douglas; but
landing a fair blow after the low
one. did not right the wrong and 1T
was within the power of the referee
to give his decision at once.
Garcia Mendosa Draw
Young Garcia started like cham
pion in the first round and pounded
Mendoza to the floor with hard
rights and lefts to the head. He had
Mendoza all but out in the first
round, the local boy taking the count
of nine. Then Mendosa regained his
feet and hammred Garcia all around
the ring. Mendoza took the Yuma
boy to a good trimming. but the best
he got oLt of it was draw. Garcia
looked like he had everything. and
gave nothing while Mendosa was
boring in with both hands. Men
dosa had Garcia hanging on
in the second and third rounds and
the fourth went to the home town
boy by a good margin. Garcia was
wild and careless while Mendosa was
determined to win. Referee sColina
called it a draw. much to the dis
satisfaction of the crowd and Men
dosa.
Wildcat Beats Snowy
Lady luck followed Nlluedt dIouhu
the ring for four rounds and Snowy
Johnson lost every round and the de-
cision. Wildcat put up one of the
best fights of his career, which is
not saving a whole lot, and Snowy
was slow. In fact Snowy was so
slow that Johns got tired hitting
him. Snow was doing the leading
and Wildcat beat him to the punch.
OIea Is Canadian Champ
Gunner Russell proved to be a dud
when he went up against Roughhouse
Olea. Russell had a good left and
he nsed it once; the rest of the time
he was trying to get out of the way
of Olea's punches. In the second the
going got too rough and the Canadian
champion quit.

Mr. Editor-To bring about a har-
monlous and easy amalgamation of tho
student bodies OF the elementary and
Junior high schools of this district
with the State Normal School, it is
very necessary that we have a Senior
High School
The law requires, in order to insti-
tute said high school, that a vote of the
taxpayers shall be had. In order I'd
procure this vote, an estimate of the
probable costs of establishing, con-
structing, equipping and maintaining
said school shall be set forth in a pub

irons Of the schools shall have oppor-
tunity to study and decide for them
selves.
Leetown, Charles Town and Harper's
Ferry have their high schools already
Shepherdstown is far behind in this
work. We should have had such q
school several years ago. Lethargy and

of not being up with our neighborine

We have 1875 classified high schools

aid according to their class.

some future time, will be nothing.
