Says:

my round trip fare in case they
don't want to keep me-"
"The kid wants $3.50 to sign"
Blankenship wired to Washington
The next day the money arrived
and Walter was handed 500 for
his fare, he explains with a sly
shrug.
When Walter finally lost a
game with Weiser, it was an IL
inning affair that he will never
forget.
In the wide open spaces there
was considerable village rivalry
when it came to baseball and size
able bets among the townsmen
were not unusual. There was
plenty of gold in them thar" hills
you know.
Caldwell, Idaho, was the oppos.
ing team and the score was 0 to 0
in the tenth inning. A Main
Street merchant was sitting on
the Weiser bench, beads of per
spiration standing upon his brow.
A Lapse of Mind
Little Tommy Higgins was
about to go to bat with a man
on third.
"Get that winning run over,
kid, and Ill split my S1,5OO
bet with yOu," said the mer.
chant to the Weiser Outfielder.
The signal for the squeeze was
on, and the player at third made
q dash for the plate.
1t was a wide pitch, pulling the
catcher far out of position and
giving the runner plenty OF
chance to score.
But the latter, frightened and
flustered by the tensity of the
situation, was expecting a bunt
and, not seeing it, pulled up short
end made back for third-being
run down in the doing, of course.
The next inning Caldwell got
a run and Walter johnson lost
his first ball game in the quasi
paid ranks.
He tells it with vertable gusto
now. does this sphinx of the dia-
n1ond, over whom the quiet and
peace of the farm seem paradox
cally enough to have worked

>Chase's stuff, whatever he may
lack in control. 1t is fundamental,
of course, that he cannot get con-
troll sitting on the bench. If he
shows anything this spring he will
get plenty of work. The Griffs
have a staggering schedule and
all hands will be needed.
Appleton will start this season
as one of the first three pitchers.
He showed enough stuff last year
to warrant such promotion. De-
shong will be right at the peak,
and. of course, there is always

Eastern Sci
To Defend
Title
By GARRETT WATERS

Basketball hysteria returns to
the schools this week with the
opening of the interhigh series.
This year the double.header sys
tenn will rule. The first one is
Friday. and it should get the
series off to its best start in three
seasons.
Eastern. defending champion,
meets Central in one of the games
while Woodrow Wilson makes its
debut by engaging Western. The
Eastern-Central setto will start the
ball bouncing at BIS p. M, the
other game following Immediately
after.
Full Schedule
A full schedule rounds out the
series opening. Eastern meets ST.
Johns today at Eastern; Roose-
welt engages the Johnnies tomor
row at Roosevelt; Eastern opposes
Bethesda-Ch Chase at Bethes-
da Wednesday. while Tech and
ST. Johns tangle at st. Johns
Thursday.
The two series games come on
Friday. with an outside contest
listing Roosevelt against the Mary
land Freshmen at College Park.
Saturday the week concludes with
Central's appearance in the Rich
mond Interscholastic Carnival at
Richmond, Va.
Much Interest
Much interest is attached to this
years interhigh series outside of
the fact the double-header system
return. It's the tumble expected
for championship honorS.
Eastern has held the upper hand
for the past few years. but the
task promises to be rather diff
cult this season. Coach Mike Kel-
ley, acting for the i'll Charley
Guyon, has haG to rebuild the
team around Clinton Quantrille,
center, and Claude Colley, guard,
reserves of the 1886 entry.
Western, Central and Roosevelt
promise to cause trouble, particu-
larly Western, which has shown
to splendid advantage in outside
games thus far. And Tech and
woodrow Wilson are not counted
out of the picture, since both have
worked hard for the past three
weeks to be in expert readiness.

AIR ACCIDENTS
 ARE EXPLAINED
 BY YSICIAN
What the Hell" Attitude Is Caused by Lack
 of Oxygen

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 10. A What the Hell" attitude which |airplane pilots find impossible to overcome when flying at high alti- tudes is responsible for large number of airplane accidents, Dr. Alvan L. Barach, of New York, said before the American Medical Asso- ciation today.
 This is lair neurosis," Dr. Bar ach said. Tt results from a defic- iency of oxygen either in flying a short time at high attitudes Or long periods at moderate attitudes. This affects the heart to some extent but the principal harm is to the brain. The pilot is unable to read the instruments and keep his sense of balance"
 Dr. Barach said a majority of the airplane accidents have been held by the Bureau of Air Commerce In- |spectors to be due to pilots er- TOT. The Doctor said this is the result of the lack of a special oxy- gen supply for the pilot.

SIR ROBERT BORDEN DIES
 OTTAWA HOME
Former World War Pre- mier of Canada Dies
 Suddenly Today

OTTAWA, June 10.-Sir Robert L. Borden, World War Prime Min ister of Canada, died here today at the age of 82. He took sudden turn for the worse when signs of acute cardiac heart failure developed.
 A sturdy, grey-eyed Nova Scotia youth with pre-revolutionary Yam kee blood in his veins, went to Mata- wan, N. J., in the early 70's from his home in Grand Pre-, the scene of Longfellow's "Evangeline," to teach mathematics in the Glenwood In- stitute in the New Jersey town. He was unaffected, keenly enjoyed out door sports and was regular att tendant of the Episcopolian church. He mingled little with the town folk. The young pedagogue was Ro- bert Laird Borden.
 Law, Then Politics
 Evincing an interest in the study of law, he gave up his position as a teacher in 1873 and returned to Canada, where he entered law school and was graduated in 1878. Until he was 42 years old--he was born June 26, 1854Ehe had never taken much interest in politics, but after successful career at the Canadian bar, he became associated with Sir Charles Tupper, then Pre- mier of the Dominion. Fifteen years later, he, himself, a Conservative, and leader of the opposition in the House of Commons, was elevated to that distinguished post. Sir Charles called him "the ablest par liamentarian in Canadian public life"
 Conservative Leader
