Oe a Billy Evans Says | Failure of a pitching staff to run true to form.is the greatest disaster that can befall a ball club. Washington, given little consider- ation in the spring as a pennant possibility in the American League, is a strong contender because of consistent pitching. New York, doped by the experts to win, is finding the going very rough because its five-star pitching staff has cracked in several spots. The rather unexpected fine show- ing of several Detroit recruits has greatly strengthened the chances of the Tygers. St. Louis, a fine ball club with a strong offensive, is suffering from a lack of consistency on the part of its pitchers, When the pitching ace of a club is unable to win, the team is un- der a severe handicap. When that malady spreads to two or three reg- ulars on.the staff, the club is doom- ed to take the count. One need only to glance at the showing of a half dozen ¢lubs in the two major leagues for proof of the above statement. The season of 1924 is already a record one for pitching disappointments. In séveral cases the sensational work by some rookie or veteran, on whom little dependence was placed at the start of the season, has been a big factor in the success of certain clubs. aise ee No one can appreciate the value of. pitching quite so muchas the manager of a big league ball club. Good pitching makes. him a success- » tack of it makes him a Think where the St. Louis Browns and George.Sisler would be, had it not béen for the fine work of Pit- cher Ernie Mingers, a college re- cruit. In the spring Sisler was satisfied with his pitching. He banked on his veteran stars. Most of them have already failed him in the pinch. With 100:games of the race play: in 10 victories for the Browns. In‘the first 100 games of the race the Browns ‘did only a trifle: better than 4ifty-fifty. Minus the 10 wins turned in by Wingard, the club would be hopeléssly out ofsit. Yet inthe spring Wingard was not re- garded as quite ready. it is a*rather strange coincidence that Wingard%has enjoyed ‘most of hid success against the-better. clubs fy.the league.

D, “""""" Editor Tribune: August 12, 1924. While at Medora the other day I met a number of tourists who, while at Bismarck, took the trouble to v the Roosevelt: cabin in the capitol |erounds. They were grievously dis- {appointed and rather disgusted at the condition of the cabin. They reported the windows broken, the door panels smashed in and general delapidation existing as though no one was. taking care of the cabin, and, being admirers of the greatest modern American, they came’ away feeling that North Dakota, or some- body, was shamefully treating his memcry. aL knew Theodore Roosevelt in the of his ranch life and then be- came a great admirer of him, and en it became my fortune to re- move the cabin from its location on the old Maltese Cross ranch south of Medora in 1904 and reconstruct it in the North Dakota exhibit at the St. Louis exposition it was a great pleasure to . entertain the president and Mrs, Roosevelt in it that year, Miss Roosevelt, now Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, having been. our guest, not to mention many other notables from this and for- eign countries, earlier in the sea- son. Miss Roosevelt drove nails in- to a log at the right hand side of the door making the initials, A. R. as Teddy had left his mark in the shape of a Maltese cross in the end of a log at the right hand corner from the door. Miss Roosevelt also bolted a silver plate to the door, the plate having engraved upon it the legend: “This plate was placed upon the door of the Roosevelt cabin by Miss Alice Roosevelt May 24, 1904,” but while the bolt holes were still discernable when I last saw the cabin, the plate had long since gone the way of the shells forming the Maltese cross and the nails consti- tuting the initials of Miss Roose- velt. When in Bismarck a short time ago I was rather disconcerted to note that the cabin had been re- moved from its old prominent place and relegated, like an old shoe, to a distant part of the capitol grounds, where few will ever see it, let alone visit it, and if the stories are true about the filth on the floor of the cabin, I am sorry it was not re- erected over behind the hill where none would see the reported neg- lect. I sincerely trust the stories ‘brought out by tourists are untrue, wor at least exaggerated, but in any event we who knew and loved Theo- dore Roosevelt in those early days feel that an affront has been given his old house and the memory of his name by the removal of the cabin from its prominent location to one that is not worthy of the great man who called it home for three years. Whoever has charge of the building ought to take at least decent care of it, or, if that is not within their purview, allow us who are inter- ested in the erection of a national park in the Bad Land as a memorial to the Great American to bring the eabin back to the scene of his early activities, where it really ought to be, and where it will be visited by thousands of reverent admirers of Ithe late president and fulfill, per- haps, a better mission than being ‘hidden behind our half million dol- lar general utility building on the hill. | F.

CHILDREN Hangs Them on. on an Impro- vised Gallows Vindsay, Ont. Aug. 18—Bernice end Louis Fanning aged 7 and 8 years were strangled to death on an im- provised Hows -by their mother, Mrs. George Fanning, 28, who then cut her throat in an attempt to end her life on s remete farm in Ops township, nine miles south of here. The triple tragedy was discovered by George Fanning, the father and husband, on his return from a visit to. Lindsay. ‘As he entered the front yard, Fan- ning said he had a premonition of something amiss. His daughters, who usually ran forth to greet him were nowhere to be seen. He stopped in the kitchen and saw blood on the floor. ‘ He then tried to open the bedroom door, but found it locked. Forcing it open he entered and saw his wife sitting on her. bed blood streaming from a wound in her neck. “Where are the children?” he de- manded. “They are dead,” Mrs. Fanning an- swered. Fanning rushed into the next room and found them on the bed, side by. side, apparently asleep. He shook them imploring them to speak, but they did not anewer. It was then that the father saw around cach throat a tightly drawn cord. In- vestigation revealed they had been suspended from a rough plank on the top of a cement cistern in the potato bin. The mother, after having hung her children, had cut them down, carried them upstairs to their bed and dress- ed them in: their best clothes, Fan- ning learned. Then she had applied the knife to her throat. Mrs. Fanning was given medical attention and is expected to recover. Recently a woman sent four pounds to a Lndon hospital in restitution for articles she had taken while a patient there. Too Late‘To Classify FOR RENT—Two nicely furnished rooms.
