INLAND WORKED HARD
During Sundays Game He Threw Ex- actly 154 Balls to the BatterA Which is No Small Days Work.

Some idea of the really hard job that pitcher has may be gleaned from Sundays game between the Besse-Leland nine and the Meriden Cutlery ip which Dick Hyland worked for the locals. In that game Hyland threw exactly 154 balls up to the bat ter These, be it understood, were pitched balls into which the pitcher put every ounce of strength and every bit of dexterity he could command. This, it will be understood, is quite trial on the strength of any man. These figures do not include the throws to first, second or third after fielding chances, nor do they include snap throws to the bag in efforts to catch base runners mapping.

Port Wins Desired Option on Harbor
Tract; People Will Likely APP
prove Purchase
(EDITORIAL)

Members of the Chamber of Commerce Monday re-
ceived the referendum ballots for expression of opn-
ion on the trustees attempt TO block the Port Of Sc
atte's plans to acquire the Skinner Eddy site.
So greatly delayed the mailing of these blanks
that before they reached the members, the United
States shipping board had taken action-action favor
able to the port An option the desired tract
given Saturday. signal victory for this city.
Hence, il is an academic rather than practical
question on which the Chamber OF Commerce will now
vote. Nevertheless, The Star believes the balloting
should be carried out per schedule The Star urges
every member to fill his blank and mail il back to be
counted.
For the carrying out Of the ports plans is still
live issue in King county. II will be referred at the
spring election for the vote of all the people.
The TRUSTEES by their ll-advised action, placed the
chamber in the position of obstrucng the port Even
when they decided upon the referendum they did not
withdraw their telegram to the shipping board stating
the chambers attitude of opposition.
The people. The Star believes are FOR their public
port; they always have voted. The Star believes
this spring they will strongly indorse the action taken
by the commission and approve the further develop
ment that the commission proposes. The Star believes
they will do this regardless of what the Chamber of
Commerce does or does not do regardless of what its
trustees think or do not think.
Is to get in step with the rest of the community
regain the confidence that the trustees action has
shaken TO move away from the position of obstruc-
ton in which it has been placed.
Knowing the chambers many valuable possibilities
for constructive public service and desiring that it

the members will now vote TO repudate the il-advised
action of the trustees That is the way in which
the chamber can get right" with the public.

RUTH GARRISON
MAY Be FREED.
New Bill Believed Framed
for Her Release

OLYMPIA. Feb. 26.-What Is be-
lieved to be an attepmt to secure tho
release OF Ruth Garrison. sentenced
to Walla Walla May Q. 1919, for de-
tention as a criminally insane per-
son, after she had poisoned and
killed Mrs. Douglas NJ. Storrs. wife
or her lover. came to light here to-
day with the introduction Of house
bill No. 1sS. which would permit tho
release OF criminally insane persons
on parole by the house committee on
penal institutions.
Altho J. Howard Shattuck, state
parole officer and chairman OF the
penal institutions committee, denies
this. the belief that the measure
was framed particularly TO obtain
the release of the Garrison girl
gains Roadway owing TO the plea OF
the defense at the time of her trial
that IL she were sentenced to walla
Walla she could never be pardoned.
Shattuck admits, however. that an
attempt Is under way TO secure an
unconditional pardon for the girl,
and declares the bill introduced to-
day would give the parole board
supervision over her. while II she
were granted an unconditional par
don under the old law. she would
be free from any penal regulation
whatever.

sheriff, and the Garrison girls
