$4,000 more has been subscribed in

Control is one OF the salient essen
tials to successful pitching. but the
pitcher who wing his games nowadays
must show something in addition to
control. It may be only little on
the ball or II may be whole lot, but
the boxman who relies on his ability
to put the ball across the plate. even
with fair amount OF speed to back 1t
up, isn't going to last long against the
hitters OF to-day.
When the Cubs settle down In the
training camp at New Orleans In March
I propose TO work as never have
worked before to gain control Speed
when mixed with control constitutes
combination too strong for any slugger
In the game, but the slow ball when
properly applied is equally unhittable.
That's what am going to strive for.

ball for several seasons, and this year

Several hundred convicts, u OF whom

ing forward to the meeting OF the board
of parole which is expected to convene
in Leavenworth, Kan, early in Nov
enber. At this time the board will
consider applications for parole under
the act OF Congress approved last
June.
There are forty members in the
bankers colony and some have such
short time to serve that they have not
applied for freedom, preferring TO serve
their time rather than to be releas cd
under parole.

pardon pending now; w. w. Mont

TROUBLE IN ATHENS.

There was persistent rumor III finan-
cial circles in Berlin yesterday that a
revolution had broken out at Athens.
Tclcgraphic inquiries sent to the
Greciau capital yesterday afternoon
elected no response.
There has been much ill-feeling at
Athens recently against the National
Assembly, eliminating in tho dissolu-
ton OF that body last Tuesday. The
assembly was especially elected for the
purpose OF undertaking q revision OF
the constitution. At the request OF
King George, NJ: Vcnezelos, the Cretan
leader, formed cabinet on October II.
Tho ministry was not received in
friendly spirit by the chamber, the
members OF which repeatedly absented
themselves when Premier Venezelos at
tempted to secure vote OF confidence.
The premier, discouraged, announced
the resignation Of the cabinet on Octo-
Der %. King George, however, re-
fused to accept the resignation, and on
Monday the chamber adopted a vote OF
confidence in the premier by q ballot
OF 2OS to 81. The premier was not
satisfied, feeling that it was vote OF
complaisance-r rather than sincere sup
port, and insisted that the assembly be
dissolved. He had his way, and No
yeE.ber 2S was set as the date for the
elections for new revisionist chamber.
Opposed to the recent assembly was
the ministry, cordially supported by
the king and the populace. The latter
have recently made friendly manifes-
tations toward the king and the gov
ernment and criticised the assembly,
though no serious disorders have oc-
CURED at the Capitol SO far as is dehn-
itcly known outside.

FORBID TEACHERS TO DANCE.

The young men OF Pocahontas, va
have engaged an attorney and are PLAN
ming injunction proceedings against the
School Board of that place on account
OF that body refusing to permit seven
handsome young women school teachers
to attend dances in Pocahontas. The
recent decision OF the board forbid
ding the women teachers to attend
the germans has raised q storm OF
protest.
The young men claim they will not
permit the order to be enforced. They
saw that it would not make so much
difference if there we're more women
than men in Pocahontas, but since the
reverse is the case they do not see
how the School Board can forbid the
young men from meeting the teachers
socially.
In the fight against the School Board
the young men of Pocahontas have Sc
cured aid from the Graham young men
who feel that il the present condition at
Pocahontas is allowed to continue the
School Board at Graham may take Of
fetal notice OF it, with the result that
the Graham teachers might be forbid
den to dance.
