THEIRS
CHANCE
TO-DAY
Veteran Southpaw Makes
American League Debut
Against Yankees
By r. d. THOMAS.

NEW YORK, April 17.-Walter
n. Ruether, the southpaw who
refused to say yes when he meant
no while a member of the Ma
tional League, and frequently
found himself in difficulties with
the Brooklyn club chieftains, today
makes his debut as an American
Lacquer. :,
Stanley Harris has named
Ruether to pitch the final game
of the present series with the
Yankees, in which the Griffmen
are now one up as the result OF a
hair-raising ninth-inning victory.
1t is a momentous occasion for
the pitcher who spent four un-
happy years as a contract-bound
and unwilling toiler for the Brook
lyn Dodgers. His troubles were
manifold, He does not disclaim all
Of the responsibility for them. He
docs not contend that frequently
he has been done injustice, his diff
culties magnified.
Clark Griffith and Stanley Harris
looked well into the past OF Ruether
and it matters not to them what
others may think, they believe they
saw with clear eyes and acted on
sound judgment when Ruether'S
past was reviewed and he was
handed Washington contract,
And today Ruether will start q
new career, not on trial in the sense
that he is to be checked against
his National League record, but to
be judged exactly by what he does
as a member Of the Washington
Baseball Club. It is az Ruether
would have it.
Without OstentatiOn, Ruether de-
clared himself today. 81 ought to
win . lot OF games this year." he
said. 'ff my arm continues to feel
rs good as it does now. / pitched
with q sore arm last year and
took plenty Of time this spring

81 want to make good with the
Washington club. A ball player
naturally wants to make good with
any. club, but there are big differ
ences sometimes in the matter OF
how much he wants to make good.
! won twepty-one games and lost
twelve for Brooklyn in 1922. won
fourteen games and lost only two
by July / Of that season, and it
was the first time in the hist Dry
Of the National League that a
pitcher had won that many games
by July.
After that got going badly and
was accused Of not trying. I had
a contract in 1922 calling for $3.50.
The next year they handed me one
calling for $4,000.
II had to take It, Of course, or
get out of baseball, and playing
baseball is my way Of making q
living To be frank, / like IL:
Sometimes I wish that I was Il
first baseman SO could play every
day.
But you can see how tough It
was for me to get up spirit to do
my hest for Brooklyn in 1923 after
that salary cut. wanted to get
away from Brooklyn, but l worked
hard and won fifteen games and
lost fourteen with a club that fin
ished sixth.
Il hurt my arm last season, but
had to pitch anyway. I won only
eight games and lost thirteen.

ct may not be a world beater in
this season, or anything like it.,
no ball player under the sun can
tell with any degree Of certainty
what he'll do in a season.
"AlI I can say and know exactly
what I'm talking about is that i
feel ready to deliver, that ] have
never faced a season with any club
in such a happy frame OF mind or
with a greater desire to pitch ball.
AS much as I've seen Of it so far,
I'm keen over this job. Bucky Har-
ris' way Of doing things has had a
lot to do with my feeling the way
I do. I'd pitch this left arm off
for him."
At that, persons long acquainted
with Ruether say he Is as a man
unshackled after imprisonment. That
four-year stay in Brooklyn was sure.
Iy captivity of a sort, if all that
has been said Of it is true.
You know" added Ruether, who
was lingering a record book" the
figures mean something, though
they'll fool you sometimes. III tell
you one reason why I expect to be
a winner with Washington. It's a

Yes. they do, as Washington
uitcher proved yesterday, in a mega
tive manner. Coveleskie failed to
take advantage of an opportunity
that might have saved him a peck
Of trouble in the sixth inning, in
which the Yankees scored four
runs. He flung the ball to center
field when q reasonably accurate
throw would have killed off
Yankee at second base and still
left plenty Of time for another put
out at first.
The Yankees made three double
ulays that smothered Washington
rallies and saved the hide of Waite
Hoyt. But the Griffmen put over
one rally that was sufficient to
accomplish the days business;

WHEAT RISES
EARLY TODAY
Good Advance Is Made on
Chicago Market

Chicago, Feb. 27.-(By the A. P0-
All deliveries of wheat scored sharp
early upturns in price today with
July continuing to lead the advance.
Lack of rain in Texas, together with
more or less unfavorable crop re-
ports from some other sections of
the winter wheat belt, were the
Strengthening influence on values,
as was word of liberal new export
buying. Heavy profh taking sales
led at one time to pronounced reac-
ton, but the effect failed to last.
Opening prices, which varied from
unchanged figures to Ia cents
higher with May $1.94 3-4 to $1.95
Ia and July $l.67 to $l.67 1-2, were
followed by numerous rapid changes
and then by rise all around to
more than two cents above yestcr-
days finish. July touching $1.69.
On the whole the market was less
active than yesterday, but with per-
sistcnt commission house buying, the
days top prices, including July at
SlG95s. were reached shortly before
the close. There was a nervous fin
ish, at nc to 23 cents net advance.
May $1.95A to $1.96B and July $1.67
Y to $1.67A.

Mr.. Black was on the stand early

MCCARTHY

The press statement of former Attorney General Stone that there is quite supply of liquor coming into Alaska aroused the ire of MT. Joseph Murray, of Mccarthy, to white heat. Dan Sutherlard's speech on condi- tions in Ketchikan and Juneau calm ed him down a little, but he cannot yet believe that there is any law lessness in Alaska.
 The trouble with Joe is that his life is spent within the confines of
The Alaska fisherman., 1925-05-15

Mccarthy, except for biennial trips to the Legislature at Juneau.
 Mccarthy, Joe's own burg, is sin gularly free from some of the un- desirable conditions that are found in other sections of Alaska.
 During the periods when Joe is away from the Legislature he de- votes all his time to the cause of civic righteousness, and as result of his crusading Mccarthy is town where virtue and morality are permanently enthroned. Woe betide the bootleggers or those of any other vicious calling who would attempt to play their trade at Mccarthy while Joe is at home on the job. Joe believed that the former Attor- ney General of the United States was taking an unWarranted fling at Mccarthy when he said that liquor was coming into Alaska; hence his intense rage. He could rot restrain himself and was determined to brand some one as a liar. How strange that a tenderly nurtured youth like Joe should lose his composure over a little criticism of law enforcement conditions; but that is apt to be the way with jealous reformers. Ardent prohibitionists will insist that there is minimum of drunkenness, and Joe insists that it is almost negligi- ble. This champion of law and order is now back in Mccarthy and he surely must have given sigh of relief at his escape from the snares and pitfalls of the First Division. Long may he live at Mccarthy, true champion of virtue and sobriety. May the youth of Mccarthy long behold him as an eXemplar of those qualities of manhood that make na- tions strong and virile.
