johnson Tries Too Hard.
Johnson's failure to make a more
impressive showing. which no doubt
was greater disappointment to him
than to any of his legion of we'll
wisherS can be attributed to trying
too hard. The ace of the local curv-
ing corps had plenty of stuff, as
pitchers repertoire is known in the
parlance of the sport, but the very
earnestness of his efforts prevented
him from making the most effective
use of it.
Unlike the Johnson fans hereabout
have been watching with pride for
IS seasons, Walter yesterday worked
with a degree of deliberation that
caused widespread comment. He
seemed from the very outset to be
debating with himself at great length
over every delivery he made. None
of the snap and dash that usually
characterizes his work was apparent,
and it seemed that the change in
methods adversely affected his work.
The total of IA Strikeouts he re-
corded atteStS to the fact that there
was missing none of the strength of
that right arm which gave him the
highest winning percentage among
pitchers over the course of the regu-
lar American League campaign and
which earned for him the honor of
being officially designated as the one
player most valuable to his club.
Yet because of his cautious methods
he did not appear to be himself. He
seemed unable to get into the swing
ing stride that ordinarily results in
disposition of his opponents with
workmanlike dispatch. His efforts
lacked the benefit of a momentum
from continuity.
FeAIa RNlnwr
The fact that in 12 innings of toll
he was solved for II hits including
doubles for a grand aggregate of
22 bases indicates how far off form
Johnson was, for even though he con-
trived to escape on five of the occa-
sions when he really was threatened.
his work fell short of the general
average of excellence of his mound
opponent, Nehf.
The Giants portsider displayed
formida bic assortment of offerings
and made especially effective use of
a. sharp breaking curve, mixed with
a slow bender, Nehf yielded nine hits,
including pair of doubles, and al
though appeared to be faltering in
the ninth when Oswald Bluege and
Roger Peckinpaugh collaborated with
their bats to necessitate extra in
nings, he settled down again and
but for a fielding slip in his sup
porting cast would have emerged
with but two tallies charged against
him whereas three were earned off
Johnson's delivery.

milled its way to the Georgia avenue

THE LION AND THE MOUSE

Seemingly the little weekly newspaper mouse
has managed to gnaW through tie neGWork of
rope when for so many years mas kept IN captiv-
ity the struggling hon of American treeuom. AS
a result confusion marks tie ranks of political
BOSSES Washington is afiame WITH excitement,
for the end of the tWo-thros rule and Of tie unit
rule the TWO great tools OF the liac4ne dcta .ofs,
is plainly in sight.
The most representative of Democrats are
now determined to bring to end the iniquitOus
system when makes it possible for three or toAr
men to dictate presidential nominations. Few of
them deem it wise at this time to come out in the
OPEN but in private conversation they admit con-
victions that bode ill for the bosses.
The unit rule in convention completely sup
presses the voice of the minority. One vote in ex-
cess of fifty per cent, and the boss becomes the
final dictator of every man and woman in the
State The two-thirds rule in like way puts nom
nation in the hands of a select combine which by
deals and dickers can absolutely defeat the viii
of even majority of the people, This system
has disgraced our government for years. Unfor-
tunately for the bosses the evils of this two
thirds rule and of the unit rule were recently ex-
planned clearly to people in special articles by
Justice Daniel F. Cohalan, through The Publish
ers Autocaster Service and in editorials in this
and other newspapers. The public response
electric In every State it became evident that
public apathy has permitted the scheme of Amer
lean Government to fall into the hands of few
dictators The result inevitable. Whenever
the public really arouses itself the politicians
have open ears. They sget away with murder
only as the people remain silent and permit it.
The country newspaper unit often is re-
garded as unimportant in it's influence, but the
politician knows that in mass formation the coun-
try weekly is the national policeman the last bull
wark of American liberty which talks to sixty
millions of the American people, and in this
the country weekly talked in no uncertain Ian
guage.
The attitude of the Democratic National Con-
vention, of course, must remain matter of spec
ulation. There may be excuse offered that action
should not be taken while candidates are immed-
lately involved. This may serve the purpose of
the bosses to secure delay in the reform. It can
thirds rule is relic of political despotism that
can find no place in free America. Consequent
" the two-thirds rule must go and the bosses
now know it.

Cause Of : earthquakes.

The usual cause of earthquakes is
dislocation of the crust of the earth
along fracture lines. There is a
fracture line along the coast of Japan
and another along the coast of Cali
fornia. The crust of the earth is con-
stantly in motion, up or down side
wise or twisting. Millions OF years
may pass before bringing strain so
severe that the strata will slip or
crumble along any great fault in rhe
earth's crust, but when chat slip comes
there is an earthquake. Usually 1t Is
only fraction of an inch, or few
inches. In Yakutat, southern Siheria,
slip of forty feet was once recorded,
and the quake was felt all over the
world

ST. Dustan and the Devil.

Dustan, patron saint of gol6smiths,
was painter, jeweler and black
smith. Reing expelled from court, he
built cell near Glastonbury church
and there ne worked at his handi-
crafts, says the Detroit News. 1t was
in this cell that tradition says the
devil had gossip with the saint
through the lattice window. Dustan
went on talking till his tongs were
red hot, when he turned round sud-
denly and caught his satanic majesty
by the nose. Dustan is represented
generally in pontifical robes, but carry
ing pair of pincers in his right hand
The pontificals refer to his Office as
archbishop of Canterbury and the
pincers to the legend of his holding
the devil by the nose till he promised
never to tempt him again.

| think this is good place to bring
up the subject of knocking. It has
been discussed many times, but l
don't believe it has in regard to school
You know there are many petty little
happenings occurring every day in our
school. For instance if MARY" gets a
higher mark in test than Julie"
then "Mary" has cheated or she is a
teachers pet" Did you ever hear of
such an animal? Teachers do not fav-
or one of us but they give us all a
fair chance. 1t is only by our own
brain power that we can get high
marks and not according to how our
teachers feel toward us.
Another thing this knocking does
not go on only between individuals,
but between classes. School spirit can
never be gained if this keeps up at
this rate. The Seniors are the acknow
lodged leaders of the school and al
ways have been. Why should some
other class try to interfere by knock
ing" them? The Juniors follow, and
so on down to the Freshmen Every
class has it's place, and someday each
and every one of you will be Seniors
so why not give the present Senior
class it's chance? Why not let the
Juniors follow them? They will be
Seniors next year And Seniors why
do you KNOCK" the other classes?
You will soon be out of old Eagle high
so why not leave a good impression be
hind you?
really think that it's this knocking
that is behind the lack of school spir-
it. If we have any knocking to do let's
keep it to ourselves and therefore in
sure a perfect orderly, harmonizing
school,
It's what we think and what we
do that makes us what we are.
