change in form and he believes the
Alumni can furnish the best practice

Letter

Chicago. Dec. 23.-President john
ION Of the American league. in 4. let
ter last night to President F. G. Lisb
of the New York Baseball Writer'S as
ISOLATION, after stating that baseball
official sources in many cases are
grossly lacking in efficiency and re-
sponsibility, advised the baseball writ
,a1ouse in order before sending mo
'scurrilous and questionable COM
plants on the Cobb Hit controversy.
The New York schapter Of the base

adopted a protest against J%ohnson's
action in discarding the box score Of
the official scorer IN a Detroit-Yankees
game at New York last May. In sub

The Letter.
President Johnson's letter follows
in part:
"Mr. Irwin Howe is the official sta
tistician of the American league. All
official scores . when received at this
Office are. at once transmitted to him.
When the Cobb incident occurred, I
requested a report and the official
score of the game of May Is. Mr..
Howe had previously made a careful
investigation of all facts surrounding
the scoring of that day.
"The official sheet was not signed
and was plainly in error in one other
particular that tended to make value
less the pitching records. The Asso-
ciated Press score of the game Of May
Is was accepted, and with my en-
dorsement. You scored the game for
The Associated Preos that day and
credited Cobb with q hit. Are we to
believe that you reversed your judg-
ment at this late date?
This office has no direct dealings
appointed by the clubs in the various
cities and experience has plainly
shown that in many cases they are
grossly lacking in efficiency and re-
sponsibility. I.

Extending through a period Of
several years, this office has had much
difficulty in securing the Official

sheer necessity was compelled to ac-
cept The Associated Press accounts.
II have clearly in mind an occur
renee Of last season. The first official

difficulties of this Office multiplied.
Letters, kilograms and threats failed
to produce the desired scores. The
secretary Of the club called at my Chi

passed. They have not been received.

silky AND TIM DISAPPEAR.

Then q strange thing happened be.
fore the eyen Of Tinker Bob and it
was done SO quickly that he could
scarcely remember how it was done.
Anyway this Is what happened, only
IN much less time than ] can tell it.
MIR. Lion !wiggled his tail vigorously
as the splashtns sound came closer
and closer then, without warning, he
leaped into the air and landed in the
midst Of a boat. filled with natives.
They were 30 frightened that they
plunged into the water leaving Mr..
Lion In the boat alone.
+, Now ! can tell you truthfully that
Mr.. Lion with all Of his power and
all of his Bravery is deathly afraid of
water. He was in a terrible position
for the boat was drifting out into the
were swimming for the shore. Poor
Mr.. Lion went first to one end OF the
boat and then to the other, but there
was water all about him md he would
either have to plunge into the water
and swim for his life .or stay in the
boat and drift down the stream
Tinker Bob came out of his hiding
place just as the natives were CONF
ing ashore. Have you seen an Gle
phant and a monkey" Tinker asked
them. They were SO frightened TO
see anyone on the bank thai some
of them fell into the water again.
Then one spoke to Tinker. : Who are
you and what are you doing here?"
Il am Tinker Bob. King of the
Forest, and am here looking for a
monkey and an elephant. Have YOU
seen one about here n place.
We'll. how could you let that Lion
the native.
"How did know he was going to
jump into your boat? 1t was done
SO quickly that lfcould scarcely be-
lieye it with my eyes. Anyway it was
better for YOU that he jumped into
the boat than it would have been had
he waited for you to land" said
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1922-03-30

Tinker Bob. But ! am more inter-
ested in finding that monkey and Gle
plant than ! am in MIR. Lion
We'll I know hat some OF our
friends. wore saying that they knew
where there was an elephant and they
were going out after him. but we
have seer none at all. W. camc. here
after that Lion and he came near
getting us"
Suddenly there was a cry heard
from the other side OF the river,
Tinker Bob looked up to see a large
number of natives gathered about
some creatures on the bank. Could
it be possible that it was Tim and
Silky. He started away on the rur
but the gathering was on the other
side of the river. -
