Presidents , - are ", fine people. Some of 'em are' good pitchers; in the fine old' American game of baseball, that Is. , We've had some dandy flippers across the years and a few with washer - woman windups, too. History of same was brought into sharp relief today by Clark. Griffith, Grif-fith, head man of the Washington Washing-ton Senators' baseball Club. .The gray-headed, bushy-browed old captain of the dugout was a pitcher once himself. He's seen the presidents come and throw to coin a phrase since William Howard Taft, who. was the first resident of the White House Heber City Mr. and Mrs. John Nicols are rejoicing over the arrival of a baby girl April 8.

"All he has to dd is to ' stir up strength enough to hand President Truman Tru-man a ball. Mr. T. will do the rest. " There, sir, is a pitcher," said old Griff, during an interview. "He can let go with either, hand. Somebody will- pick him up on waivers If his' -big Uncle ever turns him loose." Nobody knows how Pitcher Harry is going to act come Monday. Mon-day. He told the boys in the press coop he'd likely wind up from the starboard side this time. Maybe he will. We'll see. Mr. Griffith settled back in 'his comfortable leather couch at Griffith stadium . and thought back across the years from 1912. Taft: Don't sell him short. In 1882 he was the second pitcher on the staff of. the Cincinnati Reds. Came the big day of the season, as Griff recalls it. A playoff and the mother of the No. 1 hurler dies. Taft was sent in. They murdered him out there, brother, He went in" and handed his flannels and glove' to the boss. And from there, indirectly, indi-rectly, h.e went to the White House. Mr. Griffith allows that Wood-row Wood-row Wilson was all right as a pitcher of the first ball. And Harding? There, sir, was another baseball base-ball .man. Mr. Harding was a former owner of the Marion, O., team in the old Ohio state league and played a spot of baseball, too. Cal Coolidge was kind of a tippy-up guy when it came to pitching in the first ball. But that was understandable. The baseball base-ball member of his family was his lovely -wife, Grace. She had gone to a fashionable eastern school. According to Griffith, she was ' the "best score keeper in the place. And Hoover: He once hit a camerman on third base. ...

The final prosecution statement, read before the court by Solis Horwft, Pittsburgh, and Frank Tavenner, Woodstock, Va., said the 25 defendants were "common felons." 'These men were the brains of the empire. They were the leaders of their nation's destiny," the statment said. "It was theirs to choose whether wheth-er their nation would lead an honored life in the family 6f nations, willing to settle differences differ-ences that might arise in an amicable and lawful manner, or whether they, would embark upon up-on a program of aggrandizement and war against other members of the family of nations, and would become a symbol of evil throughout the world. "They made their choice. For this choice, they must bear the guilt which is perhaps greater than that of any group of men who have stood before the bar of justice in the entire history of the world. "They gambled with the destiny of their people and their nation, na-tion, and like common felons everywhere, brought only death, hurt, destruction and chaos to those whose care had been entrusted en-trusted to them.
