baseball successes Of the last
two years have been at least
so per cent due to q versatile
pitching staff; one rather
equally balanced in right
handlers and southpaws and j
small sprinkling Of spit alling
sort Of shiver runs UP and
down ones spine when one be-
holds the team easing up from
the South with but two south
paws, and one Of these very
unknown quantity.
In the past two seasons,
wherever the team was play
ing, Bucky Harris has been able
I'd learn the opposition's pitch
ing tastes and cross-up their
appetites accordingly. This year
he must use 3 different plan Of
attack, for he simply hasn't
the samples he carried before.
And bearing the above In.
mind, the hot and cold shivers
do not seem to desist IN the
least when one is reminded that
Connie Mack, who is planning
to throw long, gaunt shadow
over the American League race
this season, has twirling rep
ertoire consisting in almost
equal number of orthodox and
portside beavers.
Slim Harriss, Sammy Cray.
Jack Quinn and Ed Rommel make
up quartet Of confirmed right
handlers which is plenty to keep
most of the managers awake
at night. Out Of Mack's rock.
les he'll probably hang on to
yet another pitcher of the same
peruasion.
To offset such . quint, he IL
bolstered in the off-side de-
livery department with such
, gentlemen as Lefty Grove,
Rube Walberg, Stan Baumgart-
ner, Joe Pate and Fred Hell
mach.
IF three Of those left-handers
and two of the right handlers
have decent year or vice
versa and if ball teams still
continue to be gagged on the
"as the pitchers go, so goes the
team" standard of measure
ment, it is difficult to conceive
what is going to become of the
boom that has been started in
behalf of the Browns, Yankees
and even Washington.
Sometimes it seems that III
baseball and sports generally,
it would be good plan to form
"face the facts committee
and those pitchers of Mack's
are FACTS.

The Capital City Baseball As

step up its ladder of classified
tions. All the midget teams in
town are invited to send repre-
sentatives to a meeting at the
Boys Club, at Third and C streets
Northwest to get the lowdown on
what they are to do this summer
in the way of determining q
champion.
It was the insects last night.
They gathered in swarmy numbers
at the Boys Club. They buzzed
baseball until shooed home. Late
hours are not kept at the Boys
Club. But it wasn't necessary to
devote much time to instructing
the insects. Many older heads
might be astonished by the base
ball knowledge and smartness OF
the mites.
They missed nary a word Of
what Walter Haight, the ASSOC
citation secretary, had to say
about the new organization that

now, although many formal mat
ters remain to be settled, the In
sects are all set for action.
They apparently are willing that
the association chieftains, led by
Capt. John r. d. Cleland. settle all
formalities.
1--WE just wanna play ball, that's
allr' is the insects attitude. And
much the same is expected from
the midgets who likely will swamp
the Boys Club tonight.
Tomorrow night the juniors will
gather to get a line on the new
association and on Friday night the
seniors will have a fat-chewiHg.

worked up this early" said Sec.
rotary Haight today, land from

sandlot baseball and intend to keep
firm hand on the reins to see
that the youngsters travel a straight

Case Will Be
Decided By Two Courts
(By Dispatch A. p. Wire)

BOSTON, April 6.-The fate of an
editor charged with selling obscene
literature depended tonight on the
literary taste Of a judge.
The case of H. L. Mencken, arrested
yesterday for selling a copy of his
magazine, the American Mercury, on
Boston Common, was adjourned today
SO that Chief Justice Wilfred Bolster,
of the municipal court, presiding at
the trial, might read an article in
the April issue of the magazine on
which the charge was based.
The judge will deliver his decision
tomorrow.
While the proceedings against
Mencken were in progress in the mu-
nicipal court, Judge Anderson in the
federal court, set next Monday as
the date for hearing a petition filed
by Mencken for an injunction to re-
strain j. Frank Chase of the New
England Watch and Ward society,
from interfering with the distribut-
ing of the magazine in the New Eng
