clark griffith turned the Trick,
bringing Harris back into the
game. He insisted on talking with
President Johnson over the tele-
phone. He told what he had
every reason to believe really hap
pened down on the field. The
raising Of the suspension followed
at once.
It is well that iris Speaker,
manager Of the Cleveland club, q
man respected for his manhood
quite as much as for his ability on
the diamond, was ct bat Sunday
afternoon when Manager Harris
came in for his talk with Benny
Tate and, later, Umpire Holmes.
He heard every word said. He
made no secret Of the fact that
Harris used no profanity as an
adjective describing "fathead," as
applied to Umpire Holmes.
On being banished TO the
showers, Harris said to Umpire
Holmes, still without profanity,
'sWell, that tfathead' goes now"
and was on his way.
Hesitating a moment or so on
the bench, giving final instruc-
tions, Harris suddenly saw the
game held up and Umpire Eat
head" Holmes wig-wagging him
to be gone. He went, still with
out profanity.
Harris was under the showers
when the wild nut rushed through
the crowd and took q wallop ct
the umpire. He could have had
nothing to do with that unwar-
ranted assault. Nevertheless it
seems fair to assume that Umpire
"Fathead" Holmes connected him
with it when he wired his report
Of the incident to President John
son in Chicago.
'sFathead" Holmes may DO ex-
cused for anger at being handed
q bunch Of fives. He may be
excused for banishing Manager
Harris. But it is difficult to ex-
cuse his report which brought in
definite suspension upon the
Washington manager. The prompt
lifting Of that suspension indicates
the end is not yet for Umpire
"Fathead" Holmes.
Chief Evil Result.
"HE chief evil result Of the en-.
tire happening Is the light
in which Washington has
been placed by reports spread
broadcast. Reading them, one
would think Buclky. Harris, biting
and snarling and splitting, led Z

holy person Of the league official.

Even Their Wives Suffer.

Even Their Wives Suffer.
Once on time the writer of this
article asked the wife of a president
of the United States how she managed
to stand the fatigue of handshaking,
for on occasions presidents wives are
compelled to undergo the ordeal to-
which their husbands are subjected
virtually every day.
The First Lady" of whom asked
the question had been shaking hands
the day before with 1000 persons who
had attended a May day party given
on the lawn of the White House. In
answer to my question she raised her
hand and showed me n blister which
extended from the tip of the little
finger of the right hand well down to
the middle of the side of the palm.

ident of the United States for go

there was instant criticism from here,
there and everywhere else. 1t was de-
clared to be n kingly practice. and that
1t ought not to be tolerated. In truth
Wilson was simply going back to the
days of Washington and Adams.
Messages in Person.
Thomas Jefferson 1t was who began
the practice of sending n written mes
sage to congress at the opening of the
session instead of appearing in person
to deliver 1t. When Woodrow Wilson
declared his intention to speak his
message to congress Washington folks
said: "If Theodore Roosevelt had
made the suggestion 1t instantly would
have been charged that he intended to
make himself king. and the country
would have been looking out for Gaze
| sarsm.
There was n cartoon widely circu-
| lated at the time President Wilson
made his first address in person to the
congress of the United States. The
cartoon showed Theodore Roosevelt
who at that time was alive. with "a
fercely disappointed face dancing In
anger and eXclaiming to himself: "Why

The crimson glare of the setting sun
cast strange and sinister light into
the silent room, lingering, like an ac-
cusing finger, on the dark red pool in
the center of the floor-red as the
western sky itself.
Slowly the scarlet stain widened. Her
hand cutched convulsive!y to her
heart, woman watched 1t, the utter
extremity of fear showing in her hor-
ror-dilated eyes. Anxiety was written
in every line of her face
A jaunty step sounded without. the
door swung open and man entered.
The tune he had been whistling died
on his lips, the color ebbed from his
face. His eyes, wide as the woman's,
were riveted on the same dread spec
tacle. Then, suddenly sharp voice
broke the deathly stiffness.
