wv WASHINGTON, July 11.-sena-
Nv tor Samuel NJ Ralston was
seated in his room at the VIII
lard Hotel gossiping about things in
general and politics in particular.
I'll tell you the big issue will be

his knee to emphasize the point. mo

race with this tariff. The people are
going to learn something about il"
We shook our head rather dubious
ly. Memories of Senator Jim" Wat
son Grating on the tariff came back.
1t was one subject that made Jim"
star. He could dress up a volume
or two of meaningless figures about
which he knew little and his audience
knew less and get away with it. All
he had to do was to shout figures in
the millions and then wave the flag
and cry over the full dinner pail and
the tariff speech was a success.
Hard to Realize
So. with these memories, the sug-
gestion the tariff would be an issue,
understood by the people. and that
they would vote against the insane
Fordney McCumber bill. seemed hard
ly possible of realization.
But word comes into Washington
from Republicans and Democrats the
tariff will be big issue. perhaps one
of the biggest. and that Ralston is
right. The farmers plight and his
sad story Of being handed tariff

story Of aluminium. the story OF hous-
ing costs jumping faster and faster

William j. Bryan, In an address at

bringing peace to the nations OF the
world. He said that the American
philosophy of international friendship
and good will, coupled with a law
abiding people, religious convictions
based on a love Of God and Christ, a
wholesome respect for the Bible and
establishment of Christian. education
will bring lasting peace throughout
the world. That sounds easy enough,

FRANK CHANCE HAS
DEFINITE IDEAS ON
WHAT RUTH CAN HIT
Inctructs Boston Pitchers
to Refrain From Fast
Ones on Inside.
New York, April 2S.-Frank Chance

New York, April 2S.-Frank Chance,
manager Of the Boston Red Sox, is
a great admirer of Babe Ruth.
Yet, while Chance respects Ruth's
batting ability. yet he is certain the
Yankee slugger can be toned down to
n whisper if properly pitched to.
Just prior to the opening game at
New York, in which Ruth came
through with a home-run with two
on. winning the ball game, Chance
gave vent to his ideas on the Ruth
situation:
Ruth is a slugger,' said Chance,
land it is baseball history that
every slugger dotes on speed. -.
If American League pitchers would
always pitch fast and on the inside
TO Ruth he probably would make
100 home-runs during the season.
Such n pitched ball offers Ruth his
best chance TO pull it into right field.
During the last two world series,
which l attended, / waite led the
work of McGraw's pitchers very care
fully. 1t seemed to me that McGrsw
had instructed his pitchers perfectly
and they seemed able to fulfill his
instructions.
Il don't believe Ruth received
dozen fast balls in the two series with
the Giants. The right-handers worked
on the outside. mixing in a slow ball
with an occasional curve. The left
handlers broke the bail low and on
the outside, mixing in change OF
pace.
"There was no fast ball pitching
to Ruth in either series and he didn't
hit.
MY pitchers have been told how to
pitch to Ruth: now it is up to them.
One thing / have laid stress on is
no fast balls inside"
Wonder what Chance thought when
Ehmke. in the hole, took chance and
pitched just such ball to Ruth,
home-run resulting.

Thus, even while they are not to

II should be understood. therefore.

Richard would run in putting Firpp
against Willard would bulk signifi-
cantly in his mind for. unless the bat
