' ' v.;- .- .': ' , JOHNSON STILL IS SPEED KING I ? s Of YTkf& 1 What American league pitcher has the most speed? If that question was put to the American league umpires a majority of them would be certain to reply, Walter Johnson. Such being the case, why Is It Johnson no longer strikes out so many men und finds It difficult to win with any degree of consistency. "The reason Is easy," remarked one of Ban Johnson's umpires In discus-sing the speed king's status. "While Johnson still Is as fast as any pitcher In the American league he Is far from being as fast as he once was. The players know this, and no longer need fear the terrific speed that once featured Johnson's pitching. Instead of having one foot free they get a toe hold, to use the slang of the ball field, and take a healthy swing. It's Just that slight difference that gives the batsman the added confidence that means so much." The photograph shows Johnson and his two sons Walter, Jr., and Eddie. These two hoys are following right In their father's footsteps, spending their vacation period following Dad around the circuit learning the fine points of the game. ' ta- -j .........

KAHN, New York Banker. is no such thing as an "international banker" in America, THEREmeaning of the term is generally understood. You might as of the international fanner because the farmer sells a ; certain percentage of his crops to Europe, or of th uuernationai manufacturer because some of his products are exported to Europe and some American manufacturers maintain branch establishments or agents in Europe, or of the international merchant because he imports from Europe. The banker maintains and can maintain international contact and transact international business only to the extent that American industry, commerce and agriculture are international. The American banker's market is the home market. His success is conditioned upon the caytacity and willingness of the American investor to absorb the securities which be oilers. His very existenco depends on the confidence and of the public and his fellow bankers and any banker whose activities would justly create the impression that he was actuated by cosmopolitan rather than by American interests would very soon lose that confidence and following. The American banker's principal functions in relation to Europe are to provide the requisite banking facilities for export and import and for travelers. That part of his functions which consists in financing loans of for-eign governments or industries has hitherto been (with sporadic excep-tions) of relatively inconsiderable proportions as compared to the vastness of the rolume of his transactions in financing American industry, com-merce,' and enterprise. In Baying this I do not mean to imply that there is anything that calls for apology in the floating of foreign loans in America and in the loaning of American funds to Europe, provided that such loans are con-sidered sound as to security and are made for legitimate, constructive purposes. It is both the duty and the advantage of a creditor nation, such as this country has become, to place part of ita available funds in foreign countries. DAUBERT OUTLASTED ALL FIRST BASEMEN Only One Remaining of Those Playing During 1910. If a roll call was mude of the first basemen who played regularly In the major legues in 1910, just one play-er would answer "present" as a major league first sacker of today. And that one Is Jake Daubert, cap-tain .and leading hitter of the Cincinnati Ueds, who. though getting nn around Jake Daubert forty years of age, still can show most i of the men playing that position under the big tent how to be valuable to their teams. Not another one of the men who played first base In either major league In 1910, the year Daubert became a i regular with Brooklyn, has a playing Job In the majors In any capacity. Most of them have retired from bose-ba- ll entirely and some have passed to the minors where they still are plnylng regularly. . But that Is not all. Daubert has not only outlasted those who, were playing first when he became a reg-ular but he has also outclassed ninny a man who came Into prominence as a first sacker since 1010 and then passed on. This is due to the fact that Jake has lived cleanly. No ball player Is I more of a gentleman on and off the ' .f field. He lives right, plays right and j Is reaping the reward.

To be asked, even in a mock trial, to lodge a complaint against the American newspaper is like being forced to turn district attorney when an old and generous friend is in the prisoner's dock. But, if needs must, may I make my complaint an inquiry aa to why the editorial pages pretend so fiercely and so unconvincingly to omnis-cience? Men who, nt home, are delightfully aware how short and spotty is all our knowledge no sooner take up the editorial pen than they feel forced by tradition to give forth the impression of believing that wisdom will die with them. ' No editorial ever confesses cheerfully to such frailties as ignorance, fear, or doubt. They are written by men who, on hearing the Pilatcs of today asking what is truth, would not be baffled. Not they. They would dictate an answer before going to lunch. - Faced by some complex international problem, the President of the United States may toss all night wondering, and wondering, and wonder-ing, but he rises in the morning to find that every newspaper writer knows just what he should do. . I am sure this must bewilder him and even bread within his bosom a faint skepticism as to whether they always know what they are talking about. His faith might be restored if, some fine, astonishing morning, the leader in the Gazette should begin like this: "The French movement in the Ruhr reaches back to springs of motive so invisible to American eyes ihat there is not a sage in all the Gazette office who knows what America ought to do, and probably there is not one in the State department either." ; Tim Hurst Was Handy in Using His Fists Have you heard the one about the late Tim Hurst and a bully-ing player? It happened many years ago, when fights In baseball were al-most as common as bats and gloves. "Ump" Tim, as picturesque as they come, a strange combina-tion of pugnacity and humor, re-versed another umpire's decision. The biilly rushed up, and yelled : "I'll knock your teeth down your throat, you blaukety-blan- k bum. I'll get you after the game." Hurst walked up to him, hitched up his trousers, and said quietly : "Remember, that's an appoint-ment." The fellow didn't keep It. Tim had as great a "rep" for using his fists ns for calling bulls and strikes. j M Warning Handed Father Bill Daly by Steward Father Bill Daly was notified by the Jamaica stewards recently to outfit his apprentice Jockeys with the right sort of equipment for the horses they are to ride in the future. It Is a long time since Bill hod the best lot of appren-tices and the cleverest finished riders In the country, but the old mon Is still trying, though his stable has dwindled a lot since the days of Prince George, fur which Richard Croker gave him $15,000; Lizzie, Bronzenmrte and other good ones. Diamond Squibs The Plttsfleld club has released the veteran Eddie Zimmerman. The Rockford club has sold Pitcher Joe Eddieman to Flint of the Mint league. The umpire Is always wrong when Heinle Groh is called out on strikes. Heinle's glare proves it. ' The two George Burneses are having a good season with the bst and bid fnlr to keep up their stick work. The age of miracles produced few things more awe-Inspiri- than a suc-cessful steal of home. The Pittsburgh Pirates released Ar-th- Stone, a recruit pitcher, to the Hartford club of the Eastern league. Recent big league baseball scores In-dicate that not all the snndlot baseball Is played on the sandlots. Manager Jackson of the Bloomers recently closed a deal for the optional purchuse of Pitcher Eberhardt from the Beaumont, Texas league club. Stuffy Mclnnls may be about due for the discard, but his work this season doesn't show it. Stuffy has made a big hit in Beuntown. Hpnry Huexter, Baltimore snndlot southpaw, has been signed by the Mackmen. He Is twenty-thre- e years old ond stands 0 feet 1. Bill Powell, veteran who mnnnged the Flint team last year, has retired from bitset.ull ngm and hns Joined a real estate selling agency. Vern Blenklron was pretty good In the Central league lust year, but this season, with Bloomlngton In the Three-I- , be Is setting a pnee that Is nothini loss thun sensational.

The Ontnrlo championship athletic meet may be awarded London, ('nt.. August 4. The nearness of the olym-f-k'hiiips Metises unusual Inter.' t l the Ut Is in Favor of Private Management of Railways as More Efficient By J. R. HOWARD, National Transportation Institute. The farmer must pay for labor and buy food and clothing, fuel, machinery, lumber, feed, and live stock in order to produce. Not until after these operating costs and fixed charges are met and surplus earnings in excess of them are in sight does it matter to the farmer or any one else whether his land is worth a dollar an acre or a thousand dollars. The same principle which applies to the farmer applies to the railway. It is not until the fixed charges and operating costs are taken from the freight-payer- s' dollar that the valuation of the railroad really enters into the problem of rate making. I am in favor of private management of railways, became it is more e.Ticient than government. I am in favor of letting the railways earn a fair return upon a fair valuation to enable them to expand, which it necessary if I prosper on my farm. What the farmers want, and all they want, is a square deal. They know they will not be getting a square deal until the prices they receive for the things they produce are relatively as high as the prices they have to pay for things they have to buy.

L. D. WILSON, in California State Journal of Medicine. Rarely do physicians of sound judgment seek election to state legisla-tures. Or if they do, it is in a half-hearte- d manner and without adequate support from the other members of their own profession. As a result we have the spectacle yearly of state legislatures perpetrat-ing the most asinine legislation in relation to health, to medical licensure, and to education. In the meantime the legislative committees of stat medical soeieties in their reports oiinmlly deplore the lig'slative actions taken, and cypress futile hopes for improvement in the future. The way i for phvsicians tf. get for the enni'iumity san.; health, licensure, and edu-- ! cational legislation is to t'ike a hnv.; directly in its making.
