BANK LEAGUE NOTES.

There will be four teams in the race
this summer which will make a strong
bid for the championship, namely. Riggs
National. American Security and Trust
Company, Washington Loan and Trust
Company and Commercial National. This
fact alone is enough to derive the de-
cfsion that the league will be a great
success this season Every league has it's
weak teams. but every league does not
have four teams more evenly matched
than the above mentioned Mines The 3
victory of Riggs over the Commercial
boys Is evidence of how evenly matched
the teams are this year.
Riggs has a wcrld beaten in Capt.
Snowden and it is doubtful If any
player in the league has 1t on this lad
Besides being a great fielder Snowden
Is also there when it comes to lining
them out. In fact. he is an all-around
player and knows the game from start
to finish. darlington. the recent ad-
dltion to the nine, is also life to the
team, and with his snappy playing be-
hind the bat this team should show
a marked Improvement over the play
seen that the team was weak in the
catching department all during the
league series last summer.
Commercial will be well feared by
all the teams this season This team

lately and will present a strong line
up. The team has one of the best
twirlers in the league in s. Seay who

hitters, such as Hines, formerly Of Mer-

last season and will be we'll supported on

American Security will take the field
this season even stronger than last. and
that Is saying quite enough, for this bank

last summer after a hard run. Menefee

will serve them over. This battery will
prove quite a stumbling block for the
other teams, but aside from the battery
the team will also be we'll fortified with
such hitters as Capt. West, Boykin, How
ard, Finley and Menefee.
Riggs has this season what was most
lacking last year. and that is a seasoned
battery. With sweeney on the firing line
and darlington catching the team Is
very much stronger in these two positions
this year. Darlington is throwing to
bases in a very accurate manner. and
with Snowden receiving the throw there

Riggs team is fully % per cent stronger
and the team will prove 1t In its play this
season.

universities got the idea that they should
be constantly changing coaches and with
the disastrous results that are now well
known.
A rather interesting situation has come
to light in connection with Harvard's ap-
pointment of Mr.. Haughton. The official
announcement was that Mr.. Haughton
would be paid a salary OF s., 600 per year,
for a term Of three years. and that he
was the first coach to be paid for his
services since the days of William T.
Reid. whose salary was considerably less
than that Of Mr.. Haughton. Reid and
Haughton, it Is stated. are about the
only professional coaches Harvard has
employed.
1t must not be imagined from this that
Harvard's coaches have been in the habit
of working for nothing. They avoided be-
ing termed professionals by what anna
tours call expense" money. Thus in lieu
of salary the coaches received exorbi-
tant expenses, which were so far in eX-
cess Of their real expenses as to serve as
very fair salary. This is purely an
evasion OF the A. A. L. definition of an
amateur, and for this reason there are
probably not a few Harvard graduates
nOminaily known as amateurs who are in
reality professionals.

PANNER JOE.

Last fall Uncle Joe Stalcup had man
with team help him week on his min
ing iim. The man had two daughters
with him at Uncle Joe's cabin. While
at the cabin they composed the follow
ing stanzas and placed them in Mr. Stall
cups desk. He did not discover them
until few days ago-but prizes them
highly. Being familiarly known as
"Panner Joe", the lines are readily re-
cogn lied:
You'd be surprised to know,
There's man named "Panner Joe ~
He has mine named Silver Night;
You can zee the hill, inst at the right.
All the trees are rotten and old
That's where he found the shining gold.
He's seventy years Of age
And has a black dog, he calls "Maje."
He works all day with pick and spade
While younger men sit in the shade.
He's up in the morning before daylight,
Ont after gold and silver bright.
H works in his mine day after day,
And is going to ship his gold away.
We hope it will go thousand ton
And fool the old felIow-just for fun.
He deserves the good luck, we are sure,
For he's been prospecting thirty years
or more.
He pans in the creek in front of the door
And spts tobacco Juice all over the floor.
He's as happy fellow as you can find
When he raises the flag DER the mine.
Hurrah for gold and the Silver Night
Hurrah for Joe-and his pan so bright

Third prize, Miss Alice Tubbs-"Sign

surprised at their playing so well. The
boys did remarkably well, considering
the short time they have been organ

year the dignified teachers allowed
this indulgence to the scholars-most of

searchlIghts Of a Great City.

A question of greatest moment to
every man or woman, married or single,
is dealt with in clear, straight forward
manner, true to life, in the great COM
edy drama, "Searchlights of Great
City" 1t involves charming story of
absorbing interest, beautiful sentiment,
tender heart interest and thrilling real
ism that has won for it place second TO
none In the hearts of theatre patrons.
The characters are all drawn from life,
and the author has cleverly avoided
stacy and unnatural personalities too
often seen on the stage and never in
reality. 1t is one of the notable char
acter hits of decade-a drama of heart
interest; a play that is sympathetic in
its ability to reach the heart Of men,
women and children. At Garlock's 3 opera
house, Saturday night, March 10.

Newspaper publishers of Taylor coun-

Court in the matter of publishing the
complete township vote at an election
as part of the official proceedings of
the Board of Supervisors instead Of
merely the totals for the county, as is
often done to save money. The Court
holds to the view that publicity is the
main thing and the only way to have
publicity in this matter is to have the
entire vote printed. AS to the charges
for the same, the Court holds that the
Code fixes them and they cannot be
changed by the Courts or Board.
