GREAT DIAMOND FEATS
 THIS DATE
@-BY BRACE E. JARRETT-@ Lewis of Red Sox Got Only Hit Off James; Tigers WO
July lS, 1917, at Detroit (This Is the best individual pitching feat performed on July 1S)

(This Is the best individual pitching
 feat performed on July 1S)
 When George Lewis singled in the seventh inning, he ruined James opportunity to repose among the select hurlers who have hitless games to their credit. James was responsible for allowing only two other Tigers to reach first, issuing passes to Hooper and Agnew.
 Dutch" Leonard also pitched real ball, as he gave Detroit only four scattered hits and walked just two battres. If it had not been for Ty Cobb's lone extra base driev of the game, a triple in the ninth, and Hooper's error (the only Red Sox mistake) allowing Tyrus to register, there is no telling to what length this encounter might have remained scoreless.
 Witt, Stanage, and James were the only performers to get hit be- sides the aforementioned Cobb and Lewis.
 Bush and Witt were thorns in the side of the world champions, their great defensive work being mainly instrumental in allowing James to hold Boston to one hit.

 The Siege Guns second struck a palm tree and fell into trap. From the trap. he overshot the green, but chipped his next shot into the hole.

NEW TYPE LEGISLATURE UP FOR APPRAISAL

 T. not strange that Nebraska. reviewing the re- cessed initial session of its experimental one house onrarsan legislature. is unable to decide whether the idea worth the troasle.
 On the balance sheet after Nebraska's new stream Ens5 legislature adjourned. many other things which showed no improvement the old two-house legislature.
 For instance the aS- raenbers of the nnicameral body introduced only 570 bs in this years session as compared with 042 pills introduced by the lS3 mem bers of bcane-al legislature in 1885. However 22o enacted this year, the greatest number since 1921.

Schwel- Ienbach, from Washington, proposed today that Canada JoiH the United States in creating a 21,0G0 square mile international park in the south western tip of the Yukon Territory which divides southeastern Alaska from the rest of the Territory.
 "If this park IS created" Mr- Schwellenbach said. there would be no doubt that our government would be justified in bearing at least two thirds cf the -vpe1se of extending the Pacific highway to Alaska. Also h feit Haat the United States would feel justified in creating a frae port at Skagway If this park was created.
