z UnruIy Boy 4

: ALEXANDRIA, Va, Oct. 15.-In
sentencing R. C. Hayden, principal
of. the high school, to pay n fine
of 50 in police court yesterday,
Judge Frederick G. Duvall declared
that he did not believe in teachers
striking their pupils in the face
with their open hands.
!: The principal was arrested on a
warrant sworn out by Mrs. p, l..
Magner, mother of Kenneth Poole,
thirteen, who alleged that her child
was slapped on the face until It
became, swollen.
Mr.. Hayden testified that the boy
had been giving his teacher trouble
ever since the beginning Of school,
and that he called him into the
room to talk to him. The boy he.
came impertirent, Mr.. Hayden said,
and he slapped him. Then the boy
sneered at him, and he slapped him
again several times.
Judge Duvall stated, In delivering
the sentence, that he would cour.

light instrument, but he wished TO
place his stamp Of dlsapproval upon
hitting pupil in the face while
chastising him.
Reece G. Bowton. superintendent
Of schools, said today that as FAR
as he knew no action to regulate
the punishment of pupils was con.
templated by the school board, but
that the matter would probably be
discussed at the meeting of the

being formally charged with murder.
Director Of Public Safety Paul b.
Morton said that Keene told him
that he had shot Goings four times
after Goings had cursed Keene's

The Bismarck tribune., 1924-07-08
THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE

a famous college football team last
fall.
The coach. q great Deliver in
ps sychology, sought to make his play
ers believe they could not be beaten.
He wanted them to dwell only oh
victory.
"A team that doesn't think it can
be beaten is mighty hard to beat"
is the way the famous coach put It
to me. "Think victory"
have often seen that theory put
to the acid test on the ball field and
in most cases proved true.
The winner is always the opti-
mist, the loser the pessimist.
Luck plays a part in many OF the
breaks that come up in any sporting
event, but often what appears pure
luck is the result of much thought
and great daring on the part of the
team that is benefited by the break.

JOhnsOn's Fast One
Fast AS Ever?
BY Billy Evans

Pitchers come ana go in the
majors, but Walter Johnson seems
destined to go on forever.
1t will be long time before base
ball boasts another Walter Johnson.
Pitchers of the Cy Young and
Walter Johnson type are few and
far between.
Walter Johns on made his debut in
the major league Is years ago
| Not another pitcher in the lcasle at
that time remains in active service.
! 1t was my good fortune to umpire
the game in which Johnson made
| his debut.
Detroit beat him, 2 to l., after a
| hard struggle.
Recently Washington returned
| home in first place. 1t was the first
| time in the history of the club that
the team has occupied so high po"
sition in the race SO late in the year
, In first place, with nine straight
victories to its credit. Washington
| fans turned out to the extent OF
$4,000 to pay homage and celebrate.
Nationals Pitching Ace
sad affairs. Before "a big crowd the
| home team invariably plays bad
baseball. The crowd that turned out
to welcome the Nationals was the
| biggest week-en crowd ever to see
4 game in Washington.
Manager Harris put it up to Wal
| ter Johnson to keep the fans in good
| humor. Ever since he joined the
Washington club, Johnson has had
to carry the pitching burden for his
| team.
Did Johnson deliver? He seldom
fails.
On this occasion he shut out the
| Athletics, making it 10 straight for
| the Nationals and his lO5th shutOut
in the American League.
AS l stood back of the plate CALI
ing balls and strikes, l marveled at
Jchnson's pitching as he moved
down the Athletics with consummate
ease.
Fast Ball Still Puzzles
While he did not constantly resort
to the dazzling speed that early IN
his career made him famous, he al
ways had something in reserve. AS
he struck out that dangerous hitter,

Records Mean Nothing
If Johnson cared for records, IL
all probability every worth while
pitching feat would now be to hi
credit. Records, however, meal
nothing to Johnson. He has alway
been team player. Winning tn
ball game has always been his am
bition, regardless of the score o
hits.
johnson cannot go on forever
They do say he is thinking Of retir
ing this fall and buying a mino
leagues club. Major league baseball
will suffer great loss if he does.
johnson cherishes one great dc
sire, to pitch in world series. Man
1 ager Harris of the Nationals is hope
full that he may give him that or
i. lportunity this fall.
