Seven of the richest and most

PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES
TOLD OF BY HASKIN
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-ohio.
like the old woman who lived in a
shoe as to children, has more Demo-
cratic presidential possibilities than
she knows what to do with. In the
matter of candidates for the Presi-
| dency, two is the embarrassing num-
Der, for a state cannot have more
than one ~favorite son according to
all the unwritten rules and prece-
dents of the national game of poll
tics, and the Buckeye commonwealth
has two poss1bilities-James NJ. Cox
and Senator Atlee Pomerene.
Mr.. Cox is distinctly a possibility
because he was the Democratic NOM
inee for President in 1920, if for no
other reason. Peculiarly enough,
| the overwhelming defeat that was
administered to him by Warren G.
Harding does not eliminate him from
consideration. If he had been de-
feated by a narro margin, his
availability as a candidate for 1924
might be doubted to a degree that
he would not be reckoned with SER
iously. Charles Evans Hughes made
an exceedingly close race of !. in his
contest with Woodrow Wilson in
1916, but he was never really in the
running for the Republican nomina-
ton four years later.
In the case of Mr.. Cox, he raj
showed under by such an avalanche
of the popular vote in 1920 that the
result could not be attributed pri-
marily to his own weakness as a can
didate. There must have been m
thing else the matter. Other factors
must have contributed to the Repub-
lican landslide.
At any rate, the friends of the
Dayton editor insist he was the VIC
tim OF a freakish political fate, that
the voters were not passing judg-
ment on his fitness for the high Of
flee or his strength as a candidate,
that any other man the Democrats
might have nominated would have
been similarly defeated, and that Mr.
Cox is entitled to another trial at a
time and under conditions that
would promise him a reasonably
fair chance of success. A COMPARE
son is drawn between the 1920 cleo
ton and a fight for the heavyweight
championship in which n of the
contenders stubs his toe and STUN
bles into a knockout. The Cox ad-
herents believe their mar lost On
such a fIuke and that he can give a
better account Of himself IL he gets
a return match.
Others Can't See 1t That Way
Obviously the other prospective
Democratic candidates and their
supporters cannot see it that way.
From their point of view, Mr.. Cox
was beaten so soundly that he should
not have the temerity to be a candi-
date again and they say that he
ought to be glad to get out of the
way and let somebody u as can
run!" They recall that Alton B.
Parker was eve seriously consider

Chadwick Gives Some
Striking Descriptions Of
What the Personalities Of
the Most Colorful Major
Leaguers Suggest.

Copyright, by The san Antonio Light
New York, April 14.-Baseball now
has its little color scheme. just as
Nanette Miranda has her little box
of red and white and lipstick.
The color" in baseball started a
long time tgo, but when they couldn't
find any other way to describe the
relatively of Babe Ruth to the Ianks
and the town gossip, they called him
Color" and because of the amount
Of attention he has received. every
owner of ball team other than the
Yanks has been trying to start a
museum of mixed paints ever since.
Babe will be the principal crimson
for the Yanks in 1923. Others on the
team would like to add to the color
scheme but they lack the art to paint
the touch of human nature that per-
vades the smile of Ruth. He was born
with that rare quality, an ingratiating
grin. When he was boy he could
raid the cooky jar repeatedly and es-
cape the shingling that should have
followed because of that smile. Ruth's
smile lightens his face from dark
brunette to the glow OF luminous
flare.
He gave the Yanks color when the
critics said they were as dull a mon
otone as the bare stone walls OF a
friar's cell.
Sisler Is Different.
The color on the st. Louis Browns
was a delicate mauve. 1t didn't burst
forth in gorgeous radiance like that
of the Yanks and now the Browns
have lost what they had. Sisler
smiles too. Sisters nature is as mel
low as that Of Ruth. but not so in
fictitious. When Sisler smiles one
thinks gee, I'D like to know that fel-
low" and when Ruth smiles. the pro
letariat shrieks, "Oh, you Babe"
Perhaps the Browns will develop
some new color. That slender young
ster burst. who is TO play first while
Sisler does not. may be box OF color
