To the average baseball fan
who sees the players only upon
the field there is considerable
mystery surrounding the selling
of Washington's leading pitcher,
Dutch Ruether, to the New
York Yankees for the waiver
price of $4,000 and playing
material to be delivered in the
winter.
To the players themselves,
to the club-owners and to the
newspaper writer's and photog-
raphers who have been forced
into daily contact with the for
mer Griffman, there is little
wonderment that he is gone.
The wonder is that he has been
permitted to stay with the
club as long as he has, despite
the $3.50 baseball he is credited
with.

mer Gflftman, there IS little
wonderment that he is gone.
The wonder is that he has been
permitted to stay with the
club as long as he has, despite
the .666 baseball he is credited
with.
Dutch Ruether has long
ceased to be a credit to the
clean group of men with whom
he has been associated. Break
ing every training rule and ig-
noring ordinary standards of
self-respect and respect for his
associates, Ruether) is indeed
lucky to have stayed in Wash
ington these many months.
The fact that the club had no
other southpaws heightened his
sojourn here, but the fact that
he has twirling record for the
season of IL victories and six
defeats does not mean so much
as it seems, for as a matter of
fact he has stayed in the box
through but nine complete
games, relief having been sent
him in one form or another in
almost two-thirds of his starts.
He had essayed pitching honors
exactly % times before he left
for New York.
The newspaper men are no
prudes, and they do their share
of frolicking. We know few
professions where the spirit of
gayety is more pronounced, but
they do not indulge to the eX-
tent that it makes them sour
and grouchy among their asso-
ciates.
Dutch Ruether cannot boast
of such a combination of vices
and virtues. He had come to
be disgruntled, dissatisfied
Mr.. Scrooge sort of character,
and not infrequently did he
snap and snarl at people in his
presence with whom he had no
business and who had no busi-
ness with him.
Clark Griffith and Manager
Bucky Harris, therefore, came
to the conclusion that Rueth-
ers presence was not conducive
to proper morale among the
rest Of the team.
The Washington ball club
has well over a dozen young
players, mostly pitchers, report
ing for major league trials next
spring: and such a spirit as
RuetheTs will certainly not be
a propitious one around which
to build the hopes of these
neophites.
Hopefulness, buoyancy, am
bition and sober habits are
qualities that make for dia-
mond efficiency, and apparently
all of these have been COM
pletely neutralized in the ma
ture of Ruether. So he is not
of the quality with which the
1927 ball club is to be re-
constructed and therefore does
not fit in the local scenery.
Ruether was out of step with
the purposes of the club.
He came to Washington in
December, 1924, Griffith having

Clemington COrson, of New York.
swan the turbulent stretch of sea
between France and England in a
manner that indicated she could
give Trudy an excellent debate, a
Ia agua-marine, had they attempted
the swim together.
The same question is asked in
barber shops and swimming circles
today: Who's next?
Beyond any argument, a lot OF
the punch departed with all due
haste from the Ederle homecoming
fete when announcement of Mrs.
Corson's successful effort became
public property. One simply can't
continue shouting one self yoiceless
over two Mt. Blancs. The second
might not altogether spoil the eff
feet Of the first. but it would do 1t
practically no good.
On Friday. Trudy was a woman
apart, the only one of her kind in
the world. On Saturday, she had
company.
Will a rival cut into the vast
earnings that are being claimed
for hers Trudy captured the
popular fancy because she is
young and feminine. But Mrs.
COrsOn is feminine, too, and the
mother of two small children.
That locke like an excellent
human interest angle to me.
Another is the fact that this
mother made the attempt almost
alone and unaided-no tugs, no jazz
music, no famous trainers and con-
ditioners. She was followed by a
motor boat merely as a bearer of
nourishment and precaution
against drowning. And, at the
finish, she was caught into the
turn Of the tide and swan the last
quarter mile into what probably
was a mill-race.
1t seems to me that such a
woman must have great public APP
peal. Will she go big in yaude-
Vile? Trudy is supposed to have
an offer of 1925, 900 for 20 weeks.
Will Mrs. Corson get a similar
offer?
And. If so, is there room at
that price for two lady channel
swimmers? 1t would seem that
one simply must cut down the
earnings of the other In the
various avenues Of revenue that
are beng opened.
OF course, Trudy must remain
the bigger public figure, being the
original lady channel swimmer and
the worlds record holder, at that.
But how can We say we won't have
third before we know 1t? Clara.
belle Barrett, an unknown New
York girl, was in the channel over
20 hours, and experts declare she
would have conquered it IL the
pilot hadn't become lost in the. fog,
Doesn't it seem possible that Clara
belle might yet succeed?
In that case, New York would
refuse ever again to become excited
about a lady channel swimmer. It's
greeting to Trudy was so enthusi-
astic and prolonged that today, on
the advice of her physician, she Is
enjoying comparative privacy for
the first tine snce she landed.
The chances are she would have
had it, anyhow. The town has
another lady channel swimmer to
talk about, now.

Roses are blooming, straw berries are growing and a gen. eral aspect of spring prevails over the greater part of the southern Alaska coast.
 Seward reports of January IS said grass and crops of straw berries are growing in that To- cality as result of warm spring weather. No snow is re- ported along the route of the Alaska railroad except in the mountain passes. Railroad con- tractors are unable to fill or ders for railroad ties owing to absence of snow, and ties are being ordered from Seattle to supply the needs of the rail- road.
 Cordova reports of the same  date announced that a train on the Copper River and Northwestern railroad was able to leave unaccompanied by a rotary snowplow, the first time that a similar con- dition has prevailed in Janu- ary in the history of the road. Alders and catkins were com ing out and mosquitoes were reported.
 Wrangell reported January 18th that steamer passengers visiting the yard of Eddie Hal kins the day before had view ed white roses blooming and one woman had picked some, which she sent to relatives in Canada. The mean temperat- ure of the week at that point was 51 degrees above zero.

An old Juneau landmark, the Presbyterian Church, is gone, having been damaged water in recent fire caused by the furnace becoming over heated. The fire had evidently been burning for some time when discovered. The church was built in 1897, supplanting the famous old log cabin church at the corner of Third and Main streets, where the Zynda Hotel now stands, and was the oldest church in Jun- eau. The ruins will be torn down and as soon as the in- surance is adjusted steps will be taken towards the erection of a new church on the same site.
