MckKnowS Who
Will Throw
Out First
Pickle
NICK ALTROCK

In couple of more hours we
will be up to our necks in the
world serum. I've got everything
arranged so that things will run
smoothly until the jumps give the
first decision. After that it will
be every man for himself.
Mr. Heinz will throw out the
first pickle in Pittsburgh. Heinz
is great pitcher. He's got every
thing.
Heinz has fifty-seven different
kinds of stuff. And I'll say that
he gets 'em over the plate.
Everybody knows that Pittsburgh
is the birthpIaceof the great Ameri-
can pickle. A pickle is cucumber
that saw its chance and grabbed it..
I went over to the White House
yesterday and saw the President.
Yes, sir and ma'am. Little old Nick
went right into the White House
and walked up to the door as big
as life and twice as natural
You know I walk in and out Of
the White House rs familiar as
a servant. I'm welcome going Ia
or out, especially out.
And I've got great news for you.
President Cal will throw out the
first bali in Washington.
And I don't mean maybe. Cal
will toss out the first pill The
big gamblers are betting that Cal
won't last an inning.
None of these big guys ever last
an /, inning. I've seen General
Pershing, Mayor Hylan and Cover
nor Ginsberg Of Georgia all try
their rnitts at pitching and none Of
them ever got past that first ball.
Cal said to me, mick, we've
got to win this series. And 1
want you to show me how to
pitch an OutshOOt. j don't want
to get knocked out Of the Presi-
Dental box"
The Presidents iron boss was
standing in the corner There was
nothing we could use for a ball ex-
cept an inkwell. I took the ink
well and said, "Cai, this is the ball.
The iron boss is the batter. I'm
the umpire and General Dawes IL
the bat boy"
Cal wound up and beaned the
iron boss with the inkwell. The
iron boss ran away and General
Dawes lost his pipe. Mrs. Coolidge
chased as all out of the White
House with a big broom.
We're going to get some good
pitching in the series. But dom
think 1t will be from Mr. Coolidge.
He turned his uniform in t.
Griff yesterday and is going to be
spectator. I had breakfast with
him yesterday and he looked good
in the field. He handled two hard
boiled eggs perfectly. But he

Girl BowIers
Now Have
Special
Alleys
By r. D. THOMAS

That freedom Of the American
girl that wins for her the envy of
womankind is having marked eff
feet on the sport Of bowling.
Within easy memory is the time
when a girl In bowling alley
was a curiosity in this somewhat
sedate city.
"Thou shall not enter here" was
the phantom sign over every bowl
ing alley entrance. And only a
daring, curious few passed within.
But where they led, ten years
ago. many have followed. What
was a mans playground is not
that any more. Bowling alleys
in Washington today are shared
by the girls and the deal is share
and share alike. Once again the
American maid has shaken off the
shackles of convention, for not
only in the Nations Capital, but
throughout the lands breadth,
the girls are bowling.
They have made it better,
cleaner game family game. And
bowling alley proprietors, at first
trifle puzzled by the growth of
feminine trade, now, beam with APP
prOval-and rake in more coin
than ever. Since skirts began to
rustic in bowling alleys business
has grown in leaps and bounds.
And today has como to pass a
thing never dreamed of By the
pioneer girl bOwiers--a leading
establishments specializing in
their matches.
The Coliseum, over Center Mar.
ket, il 1t isn't specializing in girls
matches, gives that impression just
the same One girls league, the
3. Y. p. u. League, opened it's
season there last Saturday night.
The Agricultural Ladies League
since has started and tonight the
girls bowling season will be on
in full blast when the Washington
Ladies League swings into action.
This last is the girls big league.
All OF it's ten teams will shoot to-
night.
Bowling Veteran, drop in at the
Coliseum tonight and note the
change over conditions that pre-
vailed ten years ago.

There are plenty Of things to pro-
vide thrill ana color for this series.
There's old Babe Adams stepping
forth in the twilight Of his great
career to bring back dreams OF
another baseball generation. There's
Walter johnson, beloved of pitch
.ars. finding fame in the final chap
ter OF q baseball career which has
known naught but honor. There Is
the spectacle OF youth battling age
to the last bulwark.
1t is that which this impending
battle between the wise old Peck
and the youthful Wright VIII
typify. Like TiIden and Johnston
these two stand One-twO In the
National rating. Like Tilden and
Johnston, too, they represent OPP
pOsite types Of perfection.
Wright is like Johnston fiery,

Peck Is phlegmatic. Certainly he
is misery OF his strength. He sizes
his plays quickly. II he can make
them, he does 1T. IL they are Inn
possible, he wastes no strength in

Like TiIden, Peck always seems
to have something in reserve;

Wright is faster, with the speed
OF youth. He Is more enthusiastic,
too. with an enthusiasm undimrned
by shattered illusions, or uniform
by grim reality. His steps show
more fire and more spirit. His
throws snap across the diamond
with a verve which Peck has never
known. Despite his carelessnesss

worked like Trojans against Bos-
ton College last Saturday and then
were outlucked. to o. Reports
emanating from the city Of Bean
casters are to the effect that
Catholic University would have won
with anything like a fair break in
the luck.
The Brooklanders outrushed and
outsmarted Boston College at every
stage of the game. Boston Col
Iege is, rated as having a very good
team, hence the assertion that
Catholic University has a better

ViIlanova has always had eleven

til the Stuhldreher era the school
has never caused any OF the bigger
colleges trepidation. Against Rut-
gers, the plucky little school
showed the Rocltne system in it's
most brilliant facets.
For examples. Last year ROckne
greatly mortified Princeton by
starting an entire second string
team. So did VillanOVa against
Rutgers. NOtre Dame worked on
the happy theory that what you
couldn't see you couldn't stop;
SO did VillanOva.
Rutgers hasn't yet seen some of

VilIanova A couple of plays from
the start of the game and the
boys from the Rarltan were dizzy.
They didn't know what to expect
next, and when they did know
they were powerless.

Rutgers players vainly sought some
light on the ball. And Rutgers is

strongest teams in the east.

that this year he would institute

wise. He made himself a team
almost the first day he was on
the job. ....-
He taught his players from the
ground up. The very smallest
rudiments Of the game have been
hammered into eager skulls. His
men were material; not stars. He
taught the value of cohesion. He
taught the value of using the
Uranium. even in football. He
worked hours longer that he
should have, but he accomplished
his aim.
Villanova and Catholic Uni

of thrills on the Seventeenth. They
have the coaches and they have the
material, and both are after some
prestige.
