Little Joe's Return

Little Joe's Return
 It won't come as any great sur prise to me if, when the Yankees make their invasion Of Cleveland in May, one Joseph Wheeler Sewell puts on a sensational baseball show, including home runs and unassisted triple plays.
 This same Sewell was cut adrift by the Indians a few weeks ago only to hie himself away to New York to register under the Yankee colors. He will be the regular third baseman on the team of Rupert Rifleers this year-that is, he will be if regular positions can be de- termined by the athletes showings in spring training.
 Should Joey find the stage set for him to execute a triple killing at the expense of-say, Johnny Ho- dapp, who is a terrific third -base- line hitter-or to pole a home run off Wesley (Ace) Terrell to bring in the winning runs, I'm inclined to be- |lieve the Cleveland fans would lend boisterous applause. To those fans Joey was an idol worshiped as fer vently as Nap Lajoie and Iris Speak CT. They still speak reverently of
  they could bring themselves to turn coldly from Sewell.
 A Sure- Thing Hitter
 As view it, the Yankees will be benefited by having in that batting order of pure sluggers a man whom they know can be depended upon to hit the ball practically every time. The element of chance that accom- panies Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig to the place will be almost entirely removed when little Joey waddles to the batter's box, gives his charac- feristic hitch of the shoulders and peers through squinted eyes down the lane.
 Plenty of Cleveland voices pro- tested when the club announced Sewells release. Those voices con- tended that his unflinching service through ten seasons and 1,102 con- secutive games, his steadying influ- ence on young pitchers and infield- CTS and his ability to give the ball a ride whenever he stepped to the plate should have balanced the scales in favor of/his retention. He was sick last year, they pointed out, but regaining his health in an- other year he would return to the form that was his over that conse- cutive-game stretch.
 Justifiable? Perhaps!
 But leaving sentiment in the back ground, the Indian bosses apparent ly were justified in releasing Sewell. The fire of his youth had cooled considerably-although he was by

BY COL JOE O'GOOFTY 0ne-Time Big League Pitcher


 Onc-T Time Big League Pitcher
 New York-The lively ball is dead this year, they say, owing to heavi- CT cover and thicker seams. If the report is not greatly exaggerated, and the lively ball really is dead, its ghost certainly is pretty spry.
 When the season opened, the boys were looking for Hack Wilson and Babe Ruth to hold little. pri- vate home run duel. But Chuck Klein, without even making its ac- quaintance in a spring training camp, found the ghost of the lively ball so friendly that he has made a public affair out of the home run business. I see where Wilson got a home run the other day off Dazzy Vance, but 1t happened to be Char ley Wilson, the Braves new short- stop.
 Charley was sneaked away from Rochester. the Cardinals farm. by Judge Fuchs one dark night last winter. The Cards, having Char ley Gelbert, didn't figure on needing shortstop, so Judge Fuchs took Wilson to be an understudy to Rab- bit Maranville. don't know where Charley learned to hit that way, but Pm sure he didn't find out from Maranville. The rabbit ball didn't get its nickname from the Rabbit. The only time Rabbit ever bats 300 is during world series when he can hit pitchers who don't know him.
 Before the season. I was the only expert who picked the Braves to win the bunting. The others were all talking about five-club race. My many readers will remember l said the Braves probably would cop because this was an odd year. It's |a pretty odd year, all right, with George Earnshaw being knocked out of the box twice and Wallyl

far the chattering-est Indian Of the lot--his salary was heavy and there were two understudies. Burnett and Detore. who seemed ready to play major league ball.
 < I do not know just what stand the Indians would have taken had they known Sewell would sign with the Yankees. They may have had their minds made up to Tighten the payroll and at the same time make room for pair of promising young sters. But knowing how much the Bradley brothers would like to win n pennant. I'm sure they would much rather have seen Joey sign with the Red Sox instead of one of the teams they are trying to shove aside in their climb to the top.

HUNDRED THOUSAND TIES BE REQUIRED
 NEXT FEW YEARS

As was announced last week during the brief visit in the city of Col. Otto F. Ohlson, general man. ager of the Alaska Railroad, tle specifications under the recent re- vision are hereby received and published. Colonel Ohlson's letter follows:
 Observations and recent inspec- tion of the tie situation on The AL aska Railroad proved the super iority of the native mountain nem- lock tie, and in order to encourage tie cutters to increase the tie pro duction in the Territory 1t has been decided to morify our present tie specifications, even though It should be necessary to pay a slight increase in the price of same.
 The Alaska Railroad will require for the next two or three years ap- proximately 100000 ties per year, and it would undoubtedly stimu- late business along The Alaska Railroad if that number of ties could be produced each year. Thls does, not however, mean that we will accept inferior ties, and tie producers are cautioned to strictly comply with the liberal specified tions, which are attached hereto, and which you may publish.
 TIE SPECIFICATIONS
 Native hewed mountain hemiock ties:
 No. Thickness 612"-8";; face 7A"-12";; length 8
 No. 2 Tie-Thickness 6"-7";; face 6'-12";; length g.
 20 percent No. 2 ties may be ac- cepted. No change in specifications of local sawed ties and price will be the same as for hewed ties.
 The above prices will not change or affect contracts covering the cutting of local ties now in opera ton.
 Southwestern western henlock ties:
 No change in sawed Southeast ern Alaska tie price or specified tions, except we will accept 20 per cent instead of 10 percent No. 2 ties.

MAJORITY ARE TRUSTWORTHY

The Juneau Empire makes editorial comment on the fact that lawyers imprisoned in San Quentin will be a lowed to offer their services to other crooks seeking freedom and states that it is good deal like bald headed barbers selling hair restorers.
 We believe that there many crooked lawyers perhaps than in any other profession, but the for this is the fact that their occupation presents opportunities to deal unfairly with other men.
 We also believe that large majority of lawyers honest and faithful to their clients Whenever you person, firm, corporation that continues to poy the attorney for number of years, it is safe conclusion that that lawyer is honest, trust worthy man.
