CANT STRIKE" LAW AGAIN UNDER ATTACK

Washington, Dec 6.-Sagging under adverse court decisions and criticism by
 tffe workers, the Kansas industrial court 1 is again before the United State si- preme court. The Charles Wolff pack ing company of Topeka, Kan, asks the court to rule that the industrial court has no power to set hours or working conditions.
 Last year the supreme court ruled that the industrial court has no power to set wages for the packing company on the ground that the packing business is af- fected with a public interest The su- preme court held that 1t is the business of the judiciary, and not the legislature,
 to decide when a private business is af- fected with a public interest
 That decision was blow at the vitals of the Kansas cant strike" law, which is based on the assumption that when a legislature labels any private business as being affected with public interest, this justifes the industrial court in setting wages, hours and working conditions for these industries.
 Last years decision only applied to wages The industrial court insists that it IS empowered to set hours and work ing conditions, and these will be passed upon by the United State supreme court. If the decision is favorable to the pack ing company the Allen law is destroyed.
 Four year ago this law and its sup posed author, Governor Allen, were on the first page of every newspaper. The :" solution" of the capitalist-labor prob iern IS at hand, the public was assured. The scheme was simple one-just set wages and make strikes unlawful The defenders of this system lost interest in the plan, however, when 1t was being applied to business as well as worke-s.

 Then came the November election, and Mccormick and Lawson supported Coolidge for President and Judge Herman L. Jones, Democratic candi- date for governor. Again Governor Small made winning fight. Still they are not satisfied. They are scheming and plotting and plan ming to prevent Len Small from talk ing his seat as governor and, failing that, to form a coalition of Democratic and Republican legislators to impeach him when the General Assembly con venes in January.

 It Is charged that Governor Small withheld large sums of interest money due the state while he was state treas urer from 1op7 to 1919. Mccormick and Lawson and their crowd tried to send the governor to the penitentiary on the charge about year ago, but met with dismal failure.

Consider this matter of "drawing
cards for Il moment: Assume that 4
famous and popular figure in the
game attracted only an average of
TOO extra patrons per day. That
would mean 15.4oo extra patrons fer
the season, or about $15 eu0 worth of
admission tickets. Assuming the
player was worth $1,000 as a player,
aside from his individual drawing
power. he would be worth S25,0o0 to
his club. But those figures are away
off in thinking Of Walter Johnson
after the heights he asc"uded in that
last world series against the Giants.
He Must Mean Matty.
There wa< Il certain pitcher in the
National League back in the days
chen baseball wasn't anything like

* NOW, who was conceded to draw
1000 extra spectators to every game
in which T." WAS scheduled to pitch.
| This pitcher started in about 80
, games per season. That accounted,
therefore. for about 10000 extra spec
tat"rs. or around $50 600 in increased
box Office receipts. This pitcher was
easily worth another $4,000 for his
appearance in exhibition games in
cities where his name was we'll
known. but where he had seldom, if
ever. been seen.
If that pitcher, at that time was
worth $4,000 or S60.000 to his team,
Walter johnson today is easily
worth 100000 as a ball player and
as a box office attraction combined.
Were Johnson to remain with
Washington and pitch only ten games
or so all of next season. he still would
lie of great value to the Washington
club, merely that young America and
old might take Il look at this grand
old star, whose base ball funeral
was being conducted by lot of base
hall critics when he reared up in his
coffin and won the world champion
ship for his team-for it was his per-
sonallty, his positive daring against
the batterS of the Giants. that car
ried Washington through.
johnson Gives Team GIamor.
Harris was great az a timely bats
man, but Walter Johnson turned the
Potomac River upstream when he
famed Kelly in as keen and daring
a matching of muscle and Wit against
n batter as ever base ball fans saw.
Kelly swung at three and struck out,
and the Giants struck out with him.
And today and all next season tha
is going to be one of the big things
about which the fans VIII chew and
chew and chew. Without Johnson
there will be a Washington team
but without him that team will lack
its glamour.
Some have urged Johnson to retire
while the retiring was good. That is
not necessary. The going still is
good for Johnson. He has not lost
his right arm and it commands more re-
spect than it did at the beginning
of 1928, two years ago.
It he does go. however. he will go
out as the first 100000 ball player
that ever walked elsewhere by the
courtesy and with the blessing of a
ball club which was willing to give
up that much rather than balk the
plans of a respected player who had
given it the best years of his life.

THY COBB never was perfect
| player There never has been
perfect one. Cobb is recog-
nized as the greatest because he
came nearer perfection than any
OF the other leaders of base ball.
cobb had one outstanding mechan-
| ical fault, and that was weak
throwing arm. This weakness could
have been avoided. Cobb has only
himself to blame for it. Cobb want
ed to become q pitcher. As a boy he
played on the intield, at short. But
the ambition of every boy who likes
base ball is to be Il great pitcher.
That was the secret ambition of Cobb.
Never during his long years in base
tball has Cobb become fully convinced
that. had he concentrated upon pitch
ing he could not have become one OF
the great moundSmen of the game.
He brought his ambition with him to
the ma jors and he nursed it through
all these years. Whenever he could
enlist the services of a catcher cobb
practiccd pitching. He would work
with the catcher for half an hour or
more, generally moro. And while he
worked Cobb pitched twice as many
balls as any regular pitcher would in
the same length of time, for Cobb
pitched as he played, with d nervous
speed.
Cobb's Pride Hurt.
He managed to develop what play
erS describe as a "dinkv hook" mean
ing an amateuriSh curve ball deliv-
cry. He never was able to pitch a
real fast ball, and what he called his
slow ball was Ineffective because Of
faulty delivery.
Players who looked over Cobb's
pitching never were impressed by it
and this hurt Cobb's pride. The re-
suit was that he tried all the harder.
We remember one brilliant Spring
day in San Antonio, Tex. 1t was in
the Spring OF 1909 and the Detroit
team was training there. Cobb had
recruited n catcher and was having
his morning workout pitching
The late Herman Schaefer, then a
veteran and wise in the way of base
bail, walked over to Cobb and said
to him:
Listen. Take a piece of advice
from me and cut out This monkey
business. Forget that you are a
pitcher. You amt. You can never
be one. You've been pitching for four
years that / know of an you amt
got no more stuff than a high school

and there's a couple of thousand
that's better than you'll ever be, but
there amt a lot of outfielders with
good throwing arms, and my advice
to you is-quit this trying to be a
pitcher an save your arm for the
outtield."
Didn't Take Advice.
Cobb did not take the advice In
stead he tried harder to prove that
Shaefer and the others were wrong.

/ right, but while he continued pitch
