ployed by Manager Stanley Harris of
the Washington Americans In handling
his pitchers In tho final game of the
1024 world's Series was roveaioa umuj
by a member of the Washington team
close to Harris.
The number of innings each one of
the four pitchers was to work, and the
exact time of entrance and departure
were outlined by Harris before tho
game, according to the informant.
And this schedule was followed to the
letter, except for two- circumstances,
onn of which was the extra innings.
The other exception was the case of
Curley Ogden. who was started on the
mound for the Senators. According to
Harris' plans, young Ogden was to

Krisch, Hie next man in, walked and
without even a glance at Harris, Ogden
walked too. George Mogridgo. veteran
left-hander, took his. place to stay until
McGraw shifted his team and took out
his left-hand hitters. Harris then dis
patched Marberry to the mound. The
latter was scheduled to stay until the
ninth, when Johnson, with orders to
put everything he had in every pitch,
was to come in w hen the sun had set
and the shadows made his fast one
evon more deceptive, ,
This strategy worked perfectly.
Johnson's entrance into the game was
a dramatic Incident. The score was
tied, the hoses clean and Walter was
"on his own." To win meant the re
gaining of his prestige, lost when he
was beaten tftlce by the Giants. To
lose meant absolute failure hut Wal
ter rose to the occasion and came
through. '-
Fandom, ever ready to praise a hero,
had paid an enthusiastic tribute to
Harris, but deep In the heart of many
Washington rooters there was a feel
Ins that Harris was only a figurehead
and that the hand of Clark Griffith,
president of the club and former
manager, was really the power behind
the Senators.
Rut the player whb related the tale
of the world's series threw cold water
on this theory and said that Harris
was the manager in deed as well as
in name.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 11. Thon
dore DoUKlas Koblnson of New York,
a nephew of President Theodore
Koiisevell. has virtually been selected
for assistant secretary of the navy.
Kohinson, who Is a son of Corlnne
Hooscvcll Itoliinson, railed today at
tho Willie House and nfler a confer
ence Willi Piesldenl Coolldge went to
lb(A navy department to confer with
Son-clary Wilbur.
The post of assistant secretary has
been vacant since lato In September
when Theodore Hoosevelt resigned to
make bis unsuccessful campaign as
republican nominee for governor of
Now York.
The appointment of Mr. rioblnson
would carry out what has become a
Itoosevclt tradition 111 the navy de
partment. Theodore Hoosevelt, who
retired as assistant secretary weeks
ago had boon preceded In that post
by Franklin D. Hoosevelt, a democrat
and years ago Theodore Hoosevelt,
who later was to become president,
also served as the department's sec
ond In command. , .Mr. Itoblnson's
mother, a slslcr of (be former presi
dent, has been active In recent repub
lican politics. . Ills wlfo was before
their mai'iiage 'Helen It. Hoosovell of
New York.
Mr. Itoblnson was born In 1883. Ho
has served In the New York stnto
senate. He was chiiifinan of the pro
gressive stale coninillteo of Now York
In I 0 1 2.
The vacancy caused by tho doath of
Secretary Wullace of the agricultural
department Is to be filled shortly. The
law requires the term of an acting
secretary run only for 30 days. Mr.
Coolldge may appoint Acting Secretary
Gore to the cabinet post to serve until
March 4, however, when he becomes
governor of West Virginia.
White House officials appear to take
no stock In niiinorous reports that tho
president might display a changed
attitude now that the election Is over
and ho has been chosen president In
bin own right. Sonic of these reportB
have Indicated that he might doslre
to ask for tho resignations of some of
tho holdover cabinet members In order
to make personal selections.
Nevertheless, It Is known that at
least one or two of thoso who now
hold cabinet positions desire for one
roaaon or another to return to private
life, and It remains to be determined
whether Mr. Coolldge can prevail on
them to stay In the government
