What w. johnson Could Use.

Wudt W. JUHIlSuH NUutu Use
CITING as Washingtons man.
" ager, Walter Johnson could find
"A a lot of use this season for some
4 \ one like another young fellow
who came on for car fare %
years ago.
This young fellows name was Walter
johnson, who pitched more shutouts
and famed more batsmen than any one
80 or more victories without much of a
ball club to carry him through.
johnson may not have been the fast
est pitcher that ever worked. but at
least he Is the only pitcher who could
have more than half ball club report
ing on the sick list upon the day he
worked. He was at least dreaded more
than any other pitcher that ever lived.
On the day when Johnson was due
to work back I'm his prime. old time
managers will tell you that as many
as four or five of their regular
would report some form of Illness
and ask for a lay-off. There isn't
much fun i'm hearing fast one whiz
by without being able to see it. A
singing bullet might be 10 or 20 feet
away, but 1t always sounds lot
closer.
And what Johnson buzzed over the
plate was as close to bullets as the lead
from an automatic.
There are old-timers who believe that
Amos Rusie was just as fast. There are
modern ball players who say that Dazzy
Vance can match Johnson's best speed
OF Is years ago. But the fact remains
that neither Rusie nor Vance could send
half ball club seeking the shelter of
the sick list.
Pulling Power.
HE scientific side of the art of self
defense always slips into the back
ground when pair of punchers
drift along. There may be a world of
science in boxing and the artistic APP
peal may be heavy. but they both get
crowded back when McLarnin and
Miller begin starting a few from the
floor.
This age, whatever its other faults,
is in motion. There is lusty de-
mand for action, and you can get
more action from two offensive ma
chimes than you can from two de-
fensive parties. Maybe this is not as
1t should be. but that happens to be
the way it Is.

BRITISH BELlTTLE
 ]. 5, PART IN WAR
D. K. Perry Says English Be
 GeYe We Held Back Long

That the average Englishman still believes Americas part in winning the late war was small and that he is further convinced that American money was made from Britain and France while they were under great dureSS, were the statements made to New Britain Rotarians by Delbert K. Perry, Court street architect, fol : lowing a vacation trip to Europe this summer.
 The Britisher still believes that United States did not enter the World war until absolutely forced to do it." Mir. Perry continued. "They believe that America waited unti, the last possible moment; in fact, that they waited until their interna- tional prestige was seriously damag- ed. Of course. there are many Brit but by and large, it is the opinion of the British people"
 Mr. Perry also told of his trip through France, Italy and SWitzer- land, commenting upon the various points of interest in the countries. He believes that Switzerland is one of the most beautiful countries in Europe.
 At the beginning of the meeting a model of the L. s. S. Constitution, made by one of the crippled chi- dren at the Newington hospital. was displayed to the Rotarians. The boy needs money 10 continue his education, and next week, Rotarians will bid the ship at a Scotch auction

ASK DRY FUNDS
FOR PRESIDENT

"Give Herbert Hoover a square
deal and amend the BILL" Clinton
N. Howard. chairman of the Nat
ional United Committee for Law
Enforcement, implored in a circular
letter today addressed to each mem
ber OF the House OF Representa-.
tives.
Howard asks the emergency pro-
hibition bin be amended to read
that the President and not the
Secretary of the Treasury have
charge of the money and that the
words Prohibition Act" be used
in the bill instead of Eighteenth
Amendment" thus allowing the
President, If the bill is passed as
Howard wishes, to allocate money
from the appropriation to the Coast
Guard, Department of Justice.
Border Patrol and the Bureau of
Customs, all of whom, he said, are
handicapped in their anti-rum ac-
tivities by lack OF funds.
I'm it's present form the bill will
defeat its own end. Let not the
House use that as an excuse to
strike down the appropriation. Give
Herbert Hoover a square deal and
amend the BILL" Howard asks in
his letter.
