WALTER JOHNSON PERFECT PITCHER, SAYS AN UMPIRE i) THE WORLD, IN 1912: WILL, GO ABROAD SOON. .saf# Ay 0 "Walter Johnson Is today a perfect pitcher," said one of the veteran um pires of the American league, recently in discussing the Washington marvel. "If you could have a hurler made to order, you couldn't design one who would be a bit more effective than the big Swede, whose name is a terror to the best batsmen in the country. 'Johnson isn't using his terrific speed much nowadays. In fact, he seldom cuts one loose with all his might unless he happens to be in a tlgght place and op posed to a hitter wher is weak on the fast ones. He throws a lot of fast balls with a break on them still, but they are not of the old armor-piercing type that made him famous. "At one time he had to depend almost entirely on the velocity of his ball and his control to make him formidable, but now he has acquired a good curve and a nice change of pace. For some time he has been experimenting with a slow ball, and now he has got com mand of it Think of the deadly ef ficiency of a slow one $oming after a y -3CSW ,'f v» *'f£ ball that has been turned through a mile a minute. "Walter's curve Is not tlic widest in the world, but it is a quick one, and the break plenty large enough to ac complish the desired purpose. His con trol, which always has been good, seems to be improving. "On top of this he has a splendid disposition for a pitcher. Nothing seems to rattle him. Some pitchers get up in the air If they think an umpire has missed a strike in a pinch, but Walter just smiles, knowing that he can lay the next one over if he has to. He is, by all odds, the greatest pitcher in the game today, and to my mind there never lived one who was any better. As near as any human being can hope to achieve In any line or endeavor Johnson has achieved It as a pitcher." ANOTHER INDIAN FOR MAJOR LEAGUE. 1 1 Oforge TarfoeH. T| If George Tar bell, who la now be ing tried out by the Cleveland Naps, makes good he will be the third Indian to have a berth In the American league.

FLATH, NORTH DA KOTA MAN, DECLARES HE RE CEIVED "FIENDISH" TREAT MENT AT ROCHESTER ASYLUM POfi INSANE. St Paul Dispatch: George P. Flath, some time ago discharged as cured from the state hospital for the Insane at Rochester and since removed to Glasston, N. D., in a letter to The Dispatch, indulges in severe criticism of the methods employed by nurses and attendants in caring for patients there. He says that, for having criticized the manner in which attendants had treated another patient foe had been put in a straight jacket and "fiendish ly abused." When discharged he went to Grand Forks where he consulted the county' attorney. He says both he and the county attorney wrote to Governor Eberhart about the treat ment accorded him and that neither has received a reply. The Governor's Statement. Governor Eberhart said: "Personally I never received any let ter of complaint or otherwise from George P. Flath, and I do not remem ber the accusations mentioned in the letter as having been received at the office. Letters from insane patients and discharged patients are received at my office in great numbers, and I do not have an opportunity to read them all. They are generally referred to the board of control or to the state board of visitors. A letter from Flath could have been received in the office and I know nothing about it." P. M. Ringdal of the board of control was in St. Cloud Tuesday. It was said by members of the board he had had correspondence with Flath since his discharge, and had investigated some charges and found no foundation to them. Mr. Flath'6 letter, which concludes with the statement that he is willing to make affidavit to the charges he has made, is as follows: "The first night I was at the hospi tal I heard the night guards pounding and choking some of the patients. I criticized them for It. I said to them it was no way to treat anyone a'nd if that was the way they treated patients that they had better leave the institu tion. Called on Pationts to Fight Guards. "With that, the guards came at me. I saw I was in for it and asked patients to help me throw the brutes out. But no one came to assist me. I defended myself and struck a guard, knocking him to the floor. Another guard seized from behind and strangled me til! I was unconscious. I wag sent to my room till morning. "Next morning these guards took me from my room to another part of the building known as the infirmary, a dirty, filthy ward. They put a straight jacket on me made of blue denim laced down the back and with long sleeves. (This hellish jacket is a most torturous affair and would drive a sane man in sane the way it is used.) "After lacing the jacket about me, my arms were drawn across my chest and lashed to my body and the ends of the sleeves were tied in such a man ner as to leave a huge knot in the cen ter of the back upon the spine. "I was forced to get into bed and a rope, made from a single sheet was placed across my chest and armpita, drawn as tight as strong men can draw it and securely tied to each side at the end of the bed. Then another rope was made and was fastened to mv ankle and the loose ends drawn through the ring at the foot of the bed and, while two of the guards pulled upon the rope by bracing their feet against the bed, a third guard Jumped upon my bare knees and legs with his rough boots. Pounded, Kicked and Abused. "Then these brutes, they are not men, but fiends, had their revenge. I was pounced upon by these nurses, pounded, kicked, choked, eyes black ened, nose blooded, punched in the stomach and then, after suffering in this position with that cursed knot digging into my spine, the window was closed and, with no blind or curtatns to keep out the scorching sun, was left to die from thirst. I begged for wa ter, but cotild not get a drop to drink. Knocked Over End of the Bed. "Later I was knocked over the end gf $,h£ j?#d the nurse for giving him O i e o o k e telling of Coca Cola vindication at Cbarunooga,lo the aakinc- Whenever you see an Arrow think of Coca-Coiu old some 'lip.' I was helpless at the time as I was still in my jacket After suf fering this needless abuse for almost two weeks, and being left so weak I could not rise in bed, having been forced to lie upon the knot at my back, the pain was so severe that It caused me to moan in agony. I was gagged. it Treatment Given Average Patient. "Your comfort is never considered for a moment. This Is how the aver age patient is handled. "The scjif upon my back from lying upon that'knot was visible for months after I was released from Rochester. Governor Notified—Never Replied. "I showed my uruTsed body to the county attorney at Grand Forks, N. D., who in turn notified Governor Eber hart of it. I wrote to the governor from Rochester and also from Grand Forks, but he never replied to my let ters nor to the letter of the county at torney. "Surely there is some way of check ing this abuse and I hope you will give this letter publicity, as it may help to bring a change of management which is badly needed. Ready to Swear to Statement. "I hope, too, that this hellish treat ment will cease. It Is not justifiable, even though men are insane. What is wanted is kindness and sympathy and not vile abuse. "I am ready to make affidavit to the above. My statement is absolutely true.". Crocus N«we. Crocus, N. D., July 15.—To The Fo rum: Mervln Flower, who was here on a short Fourth of July vialt with his parents, has returned to Canada.
