Pro Grid
Chiefs Set
for Draft
BY DAVE HOFF

CHICAGO, April 8-lAl-Na-
tional Football League u q
owners and coaches stuffed their
briefcases today with long lists
of soon-to- graduate college grid
ders to whom they hoped to
draw title at the draft session,
closing task of their three day
meeting.
However, there was consider
able doubt whether many or any
of these young players would be
available next season, all this
uncertainty adding an ominous
tone 10 hints still more teams
may drop out of the league be-
fore fall.
With the duration exit Of
the Cleveland Rams, the Mag
mates appeared for awhile to be-
lieve nine clubs would 60 this
year, but as any special plan for
alternating the manpower short
age failed to materialize, the at
mosphere again became FESTIVE.
This feeling was apparent last
night when a hastily-revised 40
game schedule failed TO please
the delegates. Commissioner Ell
mer Layden then was asked to
prepare another chart for suo-
mission to a mail vote later.
Cleveland's withdrawal made
it possible to plan more bal
anced schedule, listing 10 fewer
games than in 1912. Each team
would meet every other club
once and also would play two
more contests with traditional
rivals. Some of the owners be-
lieved it was useless to prepare
a schedule now, however, since
the suspension of additional
teams would undo the whole
job.
The newly adopted Is player
limit, which Layden says Will
cut man mileage 81 per cent
from last year, was regarded as
an optimistic high, inasmuch as
some teams now don't know
where they'll get IL men for
opening day.

the groundkeepcr. knew when
it was coming, too. The Big
Train liked to experiment when
he could afford to and had two
strikes on the batter. which was
frequently the case. Fellows like
Eddie Collins would say: I'll
get two fast ones and maybe a
curve hope" They would
lay for the curve.
Johnson once struck out Babe
Ruth with a curve, and when no
one remarked about it on his re-
turn to the dugout, said: There,
| strike out Ruth with curve
and nobody gives me credit"
In 1908, -year-old Walter
Johnson shut out the New York
Highlanders at the old hilltop
grounds on Friday with six hits,
on Saturday with four and on
Monday with two. Had there
been Sunday ball in Manhattan
then, he would have shut them
out on that day too.
The kid was only getting q
running start.

peak, won % games in 1924
when he was practically washed
up, and beat the Giants in the

And that happens TO be the
most profane utterance of Wal.

Batting Order
Eosy to Remember
List Revealed
By WATSON SPOELSTRA

EVANSVILLE, Ind, April 8
(P) - For baseball fans who
keep scoreboard, Manager
Steve O'Neill of the Detroit IL
gers has done a great favor by
selecting an easy to remember
batting order.
Until further notice. O'Neill
declared today, the Tiger batting
front will remain essentially as
set up for exhibition games. That
calls for the three outfielders to
bat first. followed by the infield-
ers and finally by the catcher
and pitcher.
Here's the way it may read
for the American League opener
at Cleveland April 81:
Roger Cramer, CT; Ned Har-
ris or Rip Radcliffe, RF; Dick
Wakefield. CT; Rudy York, lB;
Pinky Higgins, 3B; Jimmy
Bloodworth, 2B; Joe Hoover, SIS;
Dixie Parsons or Paul Richards,
c; and the pitcher, probably
Virgil Trucks for the opener.
The major shifts from the bat
ting order of the 1912 opener
involve Cramer. Bloodworth and
Harris or Radcliffe. Cramer, gen.
orally in the No. 2 spot, is
O'Neill's choice for No. !. Blood
worth, largely the leadoff man,
is dropped down to the sixth
spot where he will have greater
opportunity to knock in runs.
Harris is moved up from sixth
TO second spot.

THEY PLAYED THE GAME. NO. -
Johnsons Pitching Vas an
Open Book, Yet Big Train
Hrew Ball BY Best HiHers
BY HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Sports Editor

Walter Perry Johnson was
the greatest pitcher who ever
lived in despite the fact that
everybody in the park knew
what he was going to throw. The
ball was either fast or faster.
Johnson had pendulum arm
which propelled the ball like a
slingshot. The Big Tr i n
sweeping, effortless delivery was
a little lower than that of side
arm pitcher.
Had there been a mean streak
in Johnson, batters would not
have dared to leave the bench.
Shortly before the f n e
Cleveland shortstop was killed
by Carl Mays bean ball in 1920,
Billy Evans called a second
strike on Ray Chapman in a
game pitched by Johnson, Chap
man started for the dugout.
Never mind. Billy" replied
Chapman. Il don't want it,"
Had Johnson been ambitious
to set records, he would have
established more than he did
and more than a dozen of his
marks still stand. His total
strikeouts, 3498, is likely to
stand for all time. He had an
earned-run figure of lis in
1913.
Johnson threw a light, live
ball which was as easy to catch
as it was difficult TO hit.
To make things still more UNI
pleasant for batters. Eddie Ain
smith used TO whistle as the
ball shot into his glove.
When Johnson took over the
Cleveland club in 1888 at the
age of As, in batting practise he
was still the swiftest pitcher in
the game.
ADMITS HE WAS
"THROWER"
Johnson admits he was a
''thrower" until he hurt his arm
in 30, following which he
learned 10 pitch But to the
end he was only experimenting
when he resorted to anything but
the hard one.
In days Of trick deliveries
Johnsons pitching was an open
book. Barney did not make the
slightest attempt to conceal any
thing. The batter saw the ball
from the time the Big Train got
it until it left his hand. But that
usually was the last the batter
saw of it.
Johnson simply reared back
and let it go. That was the only
wayne could pitch-effectiXely
There was no stopping once he
cooked his long arm. He had tC
go through with his natural mo-
ton. There could be no hitch
for the purpose of curving the
ball.
Johnson had to pitch overland
10 throw a curve. and cOnse
quently everybody. including

yield, to avoid delaying our conduct
of the war.
Believes 1t Unconstitutional.
But I cannot so yield without
placing on record my view that this
provision is not only unwise and
discriminatory, but unconstitutional
The Supreme Court has defined a
bill of attainder as "a legislative
act which inf1icts punishment with
out judicial trial" The rider in this
bill operates perpetually to dis
qualify three named individuals
from holding Office in their Govern
ment unless they are nominated by
the President and confirmed by the
Senate before November Is. It is
directed at named individuals and
not at specified statutory Offices. No
judicial trials have been held. No
impeachment proceedings have been
instituted. This rider is an unwar-
ranted encroachment upon the au-
thority of both the executive and the
judicial branches under our Consti-
tuoin. It is not, in my judgment,
binding upon them.

Bolivian Cabinet Resigns
After Mine Strike Inquiry

LA PAZ, Bolivia, Sept. 14.-The
Bolivian cabinet presented its resig-
nation to President Enrique Pena-
randa last night as the result of an
inquiry by the Chamber of Deputies
into the governments conduct in
the Catavi tin mine strike last
winter, in which 10 strikers were
killed in clashes with troops.
The Minister of the Interior pre-
viously had announced that the
cabinet would resign at the conclu-
sion of the inquiry, regardless of its
outcome. The chamber terminated
the inquiry recently by a parlia-
mentary maneuver without having
reached a verdict.

Penaranda said it desired to give
him complete liberty to reorganize
the government. The President Is

the younger of the Montoyas struck
Carr with a club, that the Montoyas
had come after a washing machine
and load of wood belonging to
them.
''The Montoyas said they had
been accused of relations with the
maids at the ranch. I have seen
the Montoyas, as a group, in the
maids room but nothing to indicate
illicit relations" said Turner.
"Carr was about six feet in height
and weighed around ITO or IT'S. I
never heard him express a dislike
for the Montoyas but heard the
i Montoyas say they were dissatisfied
with their jobs.
"Carr didn't have club. He had
both arms around the Montoya, Sr.,

said.
