MOSCOW, Jan. 28.-In a

lay enshrined today, while tens

Flowers and more than six

BY JOHN FITZGERALD.
EtaR Correspondent Of The Daily WorI


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Surprise
that quickly turned to anger was
shown in the United Mine Workers
Convention when what was obviously
an overwhelming vote against the re-
port of the credentials committee un-
seating John McGraw, representing
three locals of District IA, Kansas
was announced as sustaining the
committee.
The battle ragged for two hours
over the question whether McGraw,
who fought the Industrial Court law,
was guilty Of having worked a mine
during the strike called by the inter-
national. There was no evidence
submitted to prove this contention or
anything else rejecting on his char
acter except that he had leased a
small mine and his brother-in-law
had pumped water out of it for six
days.

For more than % years Kafer has
carried off the highest awards at the
various bird shows throughout this

are recognized by all authorities as
champions in their classes, and the
pick of his 1924 brood he has primed
and specially f1uffed to be presented
to his base ball idol. Kafer, accom-
panied by Robert Clark and ]. Michael
Coroum, will journey to the Capital
City today and personally make the
presentation.
The pair of Archangel pigeons
which Johnson will receive are ex-
quisitely marked and colored. With
jet black wings. scarlet heads and
bodies and rainbow creSts, the birds
are identical. Each has perfect poise
and form, and from their carriage
when they strut, both seem to be

1t was Coach II. A. Williamson Of
IIlden Technical High School who
hrst saw big league greatness in the
boy. Williamson said that Lindstrom
showed up at Tilden a rangy un-
calmly boy, but that he soon proved
his worth at third base.
THAT boy was due to cut a figure
in base ball from the start" the
coach said. He had a good head and
sharp eye, as natural a ball player
as l ever saw. During his two years
at Tilden he was lead-off man on
teams that won the South Side cham
pionship. He was a good waiter and
had telling eye, just as he has
proved in the world series They
can't drive one past him in the field,
and at bat he always was a sure
thing.
Lindstrom never was slugger
but he could hit. He had the knack
of connecting and hitting them where
they amt as Willie keeler once
said. He will be a big league star
for years, or l miss my guess"
After two years at Tilden, Lind
strom was induced to transfer to
Loyola Prep School for the last two
years OF his schooling. There is
where McGraw's scouts found him
Still, his home town pays no at
tention to its boy wonder. Its two

l knew as well as anybody else that
80 per cent of the people wanted to
see Washington. and especially Wal
ter Johnson, win. The mere fact of
the whole country being against us
made the players fight harder But
1t was not in the cards for them to
win.
Game Is Uplifted.
The whole game has been uplifted.
A professional sport like base ball
has taken firmer grip on the public
fancy than even the great amateur
sports. Our one concern is to keep
the game clean. and base ball will
spread into towns and villages that
before this Fall never had a regular
team.
Those hundreds of public men in
Washington who went through the
thrills of that series will go back into
their sections of the country as mis-
sionaries and spread the good It'd
ings. Base ball clubs will spring up
everywhere. Eventually this will de-
velop more ball players of higher
grade. who will find their way into
the big leagues. That is the only
source from which we can hope to
keep up our clubs that are to fight
for a world championship every Fall.
The problem of acquiring talent for
ball clubs in the future is serious
one. We have all the machinery for
bringing them along after they once
become professional players, but the
fountainhead must be kept going. This
series in Washington, this popular
victory. gives that fountainhead a
fresh squirt.
No Regrets At Loss.
/ haven't the slightest regret over
having lost a championship. except for
the human reasons that I have men,
toned. | know it was better for the
game for Washington to have won. l
did hope, though, to see the big prize
decided in a different way-a more
scientific way.
My idea of the way that series should
have ended was for Walter Johnson to
come up in that last inning and drive
the ball into the bleachers. Can you
imagine anything more perfect-a more
fitting climax to the greatest drama our
game ever has known?
1t so happened, though. that a faulty
bound, a mere fiuke, gave the Nationals
their last game. AS long as we had to
lose it l would be overjoyed right now
if that grand player, Johnson, had hit
the ball in the stand.
