Billy Evans Says

Who will handle the speedy Shoots
Of Walter Johnson during the com.
ing season?
The recent trade between Wash
ington and Boston of the American
League which involved the transfe.
of Val Picinich deprives Johnson OF
his battery mate.
Since joining the Washington CLUB
three catchers have done practically
all the receiving for the speedball
king. Charley Street, Eddie Ain,
smith and Val Picinich.
walter Johnson and Charley
Street was the first battery to fea-
ture the famous Washington pitcher.
AS a matter of fact, much of Wa
ter's early success was due to ex-
cellent handling on the part
Street
once asked Walter Johnson if his
pitching was affected to a certain
extent by his catcher, and he frank
ly admitted that proper catching
played most important part in his
success rs a pitcher. He then pro-
cceded to pay Street nice compli-
ment:
II never expect to pitch to bet
ter catcher than 'Gabby' Street"
said Johnson. "He certainly was a
wonder. | never gave a thought as
to a wild pitch with him doing tnr
catching. | always felt that he
would get the ball no matter where
/ threw it. And then there was the
question of base runners. No ma.
ter how big lead l gave the rur-
nerS Street somehow always tagged
them at secI1d. He threw strikes to
that base. | never was able to pi.ch
too fast to suit him. I can smii.
now when | thing of him. When
was putting every ounce of energy
back of the ball he would be gabblhg
in that southern drawl Of his:
Come on, Walter, put something
on the ball. Your arm must be
sore"
With the passing of Street, Eddie
Ainsmith became Johnson's battery
partner 1t is q rather peculiar fact
that the catchers who have acted us
Johnson's partners with the exec, :
ton of Street, have confined Their
efforts almost entirely to handling
Johnson.
1t is also an interesting fact that
other catchers rated as star perform
ers never met with much success in
catching Johnson's shoots. have
in mind John Henry and Eddie
Charity.
Henry was with Washington at
the same time as Ainsmith. Henry
caught practically every other
pitcher. A number of times he es-
sayed working with Johnson when
Ainsmith was injured, but never did
very we'll. I regard Eddie Charity
as one Of the best catchers in base
ball, yet Edit doesn't have much
success handling Walter. There
really is no explanation. 1t just so
happens.
Now that Picinich has. passed out
of the picture Walter will draw II
new catcher. Muddy Ruel, acquires
by Washington in the Boston dael,
will propably be assigned to the job.
Ruel likes speed, SO he ought to be
right at home with Johnson.

EquaIizing Tax on
All Banks.

Taxes on banks OF various kinds
In the District Of Columbia are
equalized in a bill approved by the
District Commissioners today and
forwarded to the chairmen Of the
House and Senate District commit
tees with a request for early enact
ment.
The bill provides that on and
after July 1, 1924, all national
banks, all other Incorporated banks
and all savings banks and trust
companies shall pay tax of per
centum per annum on their gross

Poll Tax ON Aliens.
2. Poll tax of $3.50 a head on all
aliens entering the United States

MARKET AWAITS

MESSAGE
Stocks Show Strong Tone,
But Trading Is Dull in
Early Session.
By HI. j. DUIZEND,
Copyright. 1928. by Cosmopolitan
News Service.)


NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-With the
Presidents message due in a few
hours, the stock market in the fore
moons trading today settled into a
waiting position. Transactions bore
the same characteristics as those of
recent sessions. Industrial leaders,
although displaying underlying firm
ness, were little changed, while OPP
erations for the rise were continued
in a number of specialties and the
low priced railroad group.
The sudden squirt of buying in
Southern Railway at yesterdays
close was the signal for the re-
sumption of the forward movement
in practically all non-dividend pay
ing carriers shares. Erie again
were the undisputed leaders, the
three classes moving UP to new
high levels. Despite the denial
that the Nickel Plate had obtained
control, the rumor persisted that
Cleveland interests were seeking
the property. Impressive buying
was witnessed in Texas Pacific,
Missouri Pacific, st. Louis and
Southwestern and st. Louis and
San Francisco, but high priced
issues with the exception of Read
ing were not much changed.
Despite the relative inactivity in
the Industrial list, a confident tone
ran through the dealings, rejecting
expectations Of a number of favor
able business developments, such as
the sharp drop in the weekly crude
oil production, an increased inquiry
for steel products coming from va
rious classes of industry, and the
pronounced gain in November sales
of chain store companies like Wool
worth and Kresge. Motors, as a
group, stood out by their strength,
Maxwell ga" recouping yesterdays
loss and Chandler advancing to So
for gain of over three points.
Tobacco Products and Schultz
Stores forged ahead with consider
able vigor, both issues moving into
new high ground. Oils were favor
ably influenced by the production
figures. Dawson Chemical, Ameri-
can Wooden. Computing, Tabulating
and Recording and some Of the in
dependent steels showed strength.
Call money renewed at 4h%.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Cotton fu-
lures were irregular at the opening

in evidence in the near position,
while the spring months met better
support. Liverpool cables were gen.
orally lower.

Belfast
Community Canvas for Reii-
gious Survey By Represent
atiyes OF City Churches

A community canvass or religious
survey, covering every family In the
city. is being made in Belfast, under
the direction of the pastors or the
various Protestant churches, Rev.
George c. Sauer. Baptist, Rev. W..F.
Skerrye, Federated, Rev w. +. Pat
terson, Methodist. Rev. William
Vaughan, Universalist, and Trinity
Reformed church, the latter church
to look after the east side. Four or
more delegates from each church
have volunteered to undertake the
canvass and the purpose is to- reach
every family in the city which has
no church affiliation. Each home
will be visited and the church pref
erence asked. The answers will be
carefully tabulated together with the
address and these cards will be turn
ed over to the pastor of the church
given as a preference. For instance,
all cards which bear the Baptist
preference will be turned over to
Rev. George c. Sauer: those OF the
Methodist to Rev. w. r. Patterson;
and so on through the list OF city
churches. Those who give no pref.
erence will also he listed and divid-
ed among the various pastors, who
will endeavor to Interest these fam
lilies in some church. 1t is the
purpose of the survey to have every
family in Belfast interested in going
to church or in having their chill
dren attend Sunday school. With O
population OF some 5000 there are
only. about 600 regular attendant
in the four Protestant churches. 1,
is hoped to increase this number
