(BY BILLY EVANS)
 A plan to revive the spitball has apparently fallen flat.
 Due to the supremacy of the bat. ters, it has been urged in various quarters that the spitball be again legalized.
 President Johnson has come out strongly against such q suggestion He regards the spitball as not only a trick delivery but an unsanitary one that is disgusting to most spectators
 understand that President Heyd- Ter of the National league takes a similar stand on the question.
 With the two major league heads opposed to legaiizing the spitbal there is no chance for the moist de. livery 10 live.
 If would be foolish for the minor leagues to put the 0. K. on the spitball, since their market is the majors, which would have the..de- livery banned.
 In all probability the spitba ] will be taboo in about five yeare. By the time the major league twirlers permitted to employ it will have passed the peak of their usefulness.
 Nine Still in Majors
 At present there are nine major league twirlers still dabbling with the spitball; three in the National and six in the American.
 All of them might be classed as veterans, pitchers who have been using the spitball for 10 years or more. So 1t Is no rash assertion to say that in about five years the moist delivery will be merely a memory.
 In the National league Durlcish Grimes, Allan Sothoron and Lefty Mitchell are the last of the spitters. The American league has Covoleskie and Russell of Washington, Shocker of New York, T'abcr of Chicago, Quinn of the Athletics and Leonard of Detroit.
 SpitbalI StiIl Effective
 That the spitbalI is still q mighty effective weapon is proved by the success attained by these nine pitch CTS up 10 date.
 Stanley Co1clcsKe of the Wash ington club has been the sensation of the American league race. His l@ straight victories is the best pitch- ing performance of the year in the majors.
 BurloiEh Grimes is still one Of the leading pitchers of tho National league; Allan %othoron is doing we'll at St. Louie and Mitchell, one of the few southpaws using the spitbal. is having a big year with the Phillies
 With the classy Athletics behind him Jack Quinn. secured from Bos- ton, is helping the Mackmon. Rcd Faber when right, is still s puzzle and Russell is one of the best relief pitchers in the big ehow.
 Long Years of Service
 The years of service these spitbalJ pitchers have rendered in the majors rather upscts the long accepted theory that the spitball is hard on inc arm.
 Sixteen years ago Jack Quinn, AS member of the New York Amcri. cans, depended on the spitball for success, Red" Faber has been using it for l2 years as a big leaguer and Grimes and Shocker have mt in 10 years in the majors tossing m the wet one. Stanley Coveleskie joined the majors in.I9i2 with the Athletics, and the splitter was then. as now, his best stock in trade.
 The final passing of the spitball will be welcome to major league batsmen. Even the lively ball doesn't offset the difficulty in solv. ing the splitter"

VINTON, Iowa, September 8.-Mrs
c. B. Cook, president of the Benton
County w. c. T. U.. was shot to
death in her home last night by an
unidentified assailant. Friends ex
pressed belief she was the victim of
n bootlegger or rum-runner, as she
had been active in furnishing informa
ton leading to the arrest of many
liquor law violators.
A outlet fired through a window
on the first floor of her home as she
sat preparing a paper to read at a

O'Clock passed through her left arm
and side. She died an hour and a half
later without regaining consciousness.
The county convention of the w.
c. T. u. was to have opened today
with Mrs. Cook as presiding officer.
While no official opinion as to the
probable motive has been expressed,
the woman'S acQuaintances believe
that her anti-liquor activities were
responsible. Mrs. Cook not only was
prominent in the prohibition move
ment in this county, but was well
known for her activities along this
line in other parts of the State
Her husband is manager of the

A complaint by Mrs Cook that
there had been drinking at a cafe
near her home recently brought about
the arrest of a young man, who,
however, is not suspected of any con-
nection with. the shooting. He was
sentenced to Jail, but was released a
short time afterward on furnishing
information concerning the alleged
liquor activities of another man.
Mrs. Cook shortly before the shoot
ing had returned home from the
Christian Church. where she attended
a meeting of Sunday school teachers.
Two months ago, after returning
home from a similar meeting. her
residence was smeared with rotten
eggs.
Mrs. Cook had been very active in
church work, as well as in her anti
liquor activities.

P1.-Mrs. C. B. Cook, slain at vinton

Mrs. Cook, as the Benton County

two years. Officers at headquarters
here. however, have had no commu.,
nication from her recently that might
throw light on the cause of the slaS-
ing.
About two months ago Mrs/Cook
requested headquarters here fer fiHan-
cial aid in her campaign and fof the
assignment of a dry law officer to
Benton County. The request for an
officer was referred to Federal Pro.
hibition Inspector Brunson.
Benton County is regarded here as
