April 22, 1920. Storms

Vice President Thomas Marshall throwing out the first ball in the opening game in Washington D.C. between the Nationals and Red Sox.  Marshall, famous for his wit, coined the famous "What this country needs is a good five cent cigar" quip.

It was the first day of the 1920 baseball season in Washington D. C.  Vice President Marshall threw out the first ball.

In the West, people were trying to dig out from a titanic snow storm.


In Butte there had been labor strife, which was hitting the local papers, and the renewed Mexican Revolution was turning quickly against Carranza, who seemed firmly in control only a few weeks prior.
