THE PRESIDENT" COOLIDGE HIGHBALIĄ
Opening of the American Lengue baseball season in Wush- gton. President Coolidge pitched the first ball for Washington against Philadelphia. If the umpire had elfed, it would most certainly have been "ball one." He was peremptorily retired and his substitute, Walter Johnson, won the game by 4 to 0. The President's ball was called a "highball" but it was decidedly not a drink as his right arm proves. Mrs. Coolidge is next to the President.
