CLEANLINESS OF LIFE
Walter Johnson's Only Vice Is
That of Chewing Gum.
One of Explanations of Big Fellow'!
Remarkable Climb From Gem State
Bushes to "Hlgher-Ups" De
veloped In Idaho.
"Ami his worst hublt Is to chow
gum."
Tho Iilnho funs wore wont to sny
this of Walter Johnson, the wizard
pitcher of the American league, after
he hail gone from the Gem state
"bu&h" to the "higher-ups." Brlelly,
It Is one of the explanations of the big
fellow's remarkable climb ami Is n
btrong argument for the "form player"
In baseball.
Of couise, hitting the pepsin is not
a bad habit, and, other than winning
games, it was, In Johnson's day of
baseball infancy, his only regular cus
tom perhaps still Is for we henr of
tho California youth doing things on
the diamond that none save a man in
perfect condition could accomplish,
l and it is no secret that mingling with
the big boys changed Johnson not a
bit. Egotism will never get him.
Walter Johnson is nnother achieve
ment of the great West, where we do
more than exist we live, writes a
Holse (Idaho) correspondent In tho
Detroit Free Press. What if the "phe
noin" was overlotvked arouud Los An
geles Ids own "digglu's?" He devel
oped in Idaho, nnd Hint's some state,
too, for developing, also for tilings
that have their growth. It wns there
that Mr. Success brought out his lad
der for Walter Johnson to climb. It
was not of the ten or twelve-rung va-

rlety ; It was of tho extension sort, and
it did not take long for the California
lad to extend It to Its limit.
Lest we forget it was Walter
Johubon who broke the world's rec
ord for feluitouts by pitching 72 in
nings without a score against him. In
truth, it was In a sagebrush league,
for if ever there was such It is In
Idaho, where they make the native
bush serve even to tho length of grow
ing hair on bald heads. But it miti
gates from the record not ouo whit,
for anyone familiar with baseball
kinks knows it would be Just as much
a record If made In the big leagues.
It is a rare combination that figures
In the success of Wnlter Johnson, and
It offers a strong argument for clean
liness of mind and body in sports.
Johnson keeps in perfect physical con
dition, and ids mind Is one of those
open books that any might read with
jjioiit. Always fuir, he never "crabs"
nor "lays down," but gives his best at
ftli times. Popular? Well, the word
hardly is big enough to lit his case.
GRIFFITH HITS AT SPITBALL
Manager of Washington Team Says
De ivery Is Not Natural and Is
Cause of Errors.
Clark Grlilith Is against tho spltball.
He Is hoping for and predicting the
day when It will be legislated out of
baseball. Says lie: "If I had my choice
of the two evils, P,d pick the emery
ball. The spltball Isn't any more of a
natural delivery than the emery ball
nuil It's more offensive. The spit on
the ball causes a lot of errors when
Uelders make wild throws grabbing the
ball at the slippery spot. It spoils
clean Holding and therefore n: s n ten
dency to hurt the gumo."
PLAYER TURNED WRONG' WAY
Fred Snodgrass Declared Out After
Making Safe Hit Ambled Leis-
urely Toward Second.
It's boon it long time since a phi or
was called out for "turning wrong"
tfter reaching first base, but that's
what happened to Prod Snodgrass In a
gnir.o In the recent Boston-Philadelphia
serios. Fred hit a single and am
bled down to llrst, then leisurely
walked off toward second without re
turning to touch the base. Tho ball,
roturnod from tho outlield, was put on
him and the umpire said he was out.
In iplte of Boston protests.

FIGHTING FOR CHAMPIONSHIP IN CALIFORNA.

Wolverton Is the manager of the San Frnncisco club, und Chance is the
leader of Los Angeles. Their teams are having a light foi the leadership of

GLEASON HAS SHARP TONGUE
Goes to Relief of White Sox Twlrler
When Manager Jennings Was
Getting His Goat.
"Kid" Gleason, formerly assistant
manager and general factotum of the
White Sox, is noted for the sharpness
of his repartee on the ball field. Man

soa's tongue Just before the veteran
left the Chicago club. Hughie, it must
bo remembered, has been involved in
two serious nccldents, eacli of which
nearly terminated his career. First he
dived Into the swimming pool at Cor
nell when there was no water in It,
breaking bones Innumerable und hav
ing to stay in bed for weeks while the
doctors patched him up. Later he
drove his automobile off n bridge near
Scranton and hurt himself so badly
that he was In a hospital for a couple
of months. Gleason, of course, knew
all about these two accidents and
Wlien the time enmo he reminded Jen
nings of them in a way more pointed
than polite.
The Detroit manager was coaching
one afternoon and had taken occasion
to make a number of extremely per
soual remarks to tho Chicago pitcher.
He plninly was "getting the slabman's
goat," and Gleason was quick to come
to the rescue.
"Why, you freckle-faced ape," lie
yelled to Ilughle. "You have a fine
chance to be kidding anybody. You

MOST ACCIDENTS IN HOMES
Majority of Injuries Can Be Traced
to the Carelessness of
Individuals.
The "safety first" movement is or
dinarily understood to mean caution
in public, In crossing streets or board
ing cars, or carefulness In the factory
In handling tools or machinery, but, ac
cording to the report of tho coroner
of Cook county, Illinois, there is more
need for "safety first" methods In tho
homo thnn In tho street or factory.
In 11 years of tho Chicago coroner's
incumbency tlto total number of deaths
by accident investigated by ills office
was 20.SIM. Of these 15,211 were "ac
cldents at homo" and 1-1,023 "outside
tho home."
Most of the accidents at home are
traceable to carelessness. Burns and
scalds caused many deaths. Asphyxia
tion, poisoning, suffocation, falls, ex
posure and neglect, careless use of
matches, firearms, gas and oil stoves,
gasoline, liquid stove polish, defective
stovepipes and Hues, soot, etc., cost
thousands of lives. In Cook county In
191G, 105 children under five years of
age were killed by scalds and burns.
PORT OF MISSING WHEELS
Writer Throws Some New Light on
the Eventual Fate of
Bicycles. '
Perhaps you hnvo wondered what j
lias become of all the old bicycles. Not
so long ago everybody had one fa I
tlier, mother, children and aunts from
tho country. And then, In the night
motor cars got cheaper and all the
bicycles disappeared. Like tho Palm
Bench suits they are all here In Flor
Ida. There are bicycles everywhere
on the Hat, hard beautiful roads, on
the curbstones, leaning against the
piazzas, In the streets. If the mo
tor car has swept them from the north
ern streets, It has not done that here.
Men, women and children on bicycles
whirl about (he streets, tingling their
littlo bells and the motor-car drivers
look out for them. Jii'-t beyond the
erandn at Palm Beach were hundreds
of bicycles walling to be hired. Out
on the shaded roads were other hun
dreds bearing their gnyly attired bur
dens. In the lobby, where I was making my
wny to the desk, were dozens of wom
en dressed for wheeling. Margaret
Tuttle, In Saturday livening Post.
Cockroach a Troubler.
Recently while "inspecting a largo
plant attention was called to a peculiar
Incident. On a branch circuit there
wns some peculiar trouble. Fuses would
blow out at various intervals running
from one-half to twenty-four hours,
says the Popular Science Monthly,. At
first no attention wns paid, but when
the ground detector stnrted to show
signs of trouble, first on one sldo and
then on the other, nn Investigation was
made. Covers were removed from the
outlet boxes and from one box a
shower of live and dead cockroaches
fell on tho head of the examiner. On
looking into the box, It was found that
tho Insulation around the Joints and
especially at the points had been en
tirely eaten nway, the vibration do
ing the rest toward creating the trou
ble. Taking No Chance.
Mr. Bobbins came home well plensed
with his achievement at the 'employ
ment agency.
"I eugnged two cooks today," he
said.
"Why two?" said the wife. "Wo
need only one."
"I know," said Mr. Bobbins, "but one
comes tomorrow, tho other a week
from tomorrow." Pall Mall Gazette.
