Members of the legislature who look
as sane as cash register are intro
ducing bills and nursing them through
the committee rooms with the conf
dence of hen sitting upon glass eggs
while there already lies coiled on the
governors hearthstone more bills
than his platform demanded.
The presiding officers of both the
house and senate have declared in
favor of giving the redistricting bill
preference over all other legislation
and the fireworks will begin in earnest
the early part of next week, but while
they are making districts they are not
passing laws.

When we consider the grand posi-
bilities of civic beauty to be obtained
by planting grapevnes We wonder that
they are seldom seen in Bryan. Plant
a grapevine and train 1t over an arbor
or pergola and you have something
that will last to delight generations
yet unborn. A woman was telling her
friends few days ago OF a grapevine
that still fiourishes that was planted
by her great-grandfather Grapevines
are indigenous to this soil and neither
heat nor cold, nor drouth, nor floods
affect them. Try planting a grapevine
for your great-grandchildren.

Joseph Darling, an attorney, was ar

eight-year-old girl, in a suit for dam
ages brought against the Metropolitan

succeeded in evading the payment of
damages and had young Oppenheim
disbarred for alleged professional mis-
conduct. Recently it was discovered
that the witnesses who had sworn

DETROIT TOILET
OUT TOM JONES
First Baseman to Be Found
With Minors Next
Season.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT January 16-It begins to
look as though ''Old Tom Jones days
as a member Of the Detroit club are num-
hered. Several big minor league outfits
have put in bids for the venerable first
baseman, and it is almost certainty
that President Navin will accept one OF
the offers. providing he can get waivers.
Jimmy Barrett Of Milwaukee is one of
the managers seeking Thomas services,
and, owing to his close association with
the Detroit club. he may get the call
when the time comes to let Jones go.
Manager Jennings is, well supplied with
first base material. Gainor and Ness of
the recruits are regulars in this position.
and both are highly recommended by
critics who have seen them work. George
Moriarity is as good a first baseman as
the American League boasts, Hal Chase
always being excepted as something more
than human in his cunning around the
initial sack. Should both Of the young
sters fall down George could be shifted
across the diamond and his place at third
filled by whichever one Of four or five
available utility players exhibits greatest
ability.

Hence he demanded something like a five
thousa nd-dollar increase in salary, which
was refused. Today Lake is out of ma
jor league base ball. He tried his hand
at handling a tailender the Boston Ma

Had Lake been willing to admit that it
was the fact that he had a great hall
team to handle that caused his success
with the Boston Americans instead Of at
trbuting it's showing TO his own ability
as a manager he would probably still be
at the head of that team and that at an
increased salary.
There is perhaps no more glazing llu-
tration of the uncertainty of base ball
than the experience of Pitcher Ray OF
the st. Louis team last season In all
Ray won four games out of fourteen. and
yet three of these victories he pitched
against the Detroit team and it was
these tht virtually put the Tigers out
Of the pennant race.
1t was in the middle Of June last that
home. had gained position where it was
but a game or SO behind the Athletics
What made it look like cinch for Jen-
nings team to go to the front at that
time was the fact that it had eight
straight games scheduled with the tail
end Browns. while the Athletics had a
long series of games with the strong east
ern teams. 1t was because of the over
confidence Of the Tigers when they went
into the series with St. Louis that they
lost the first game. Ray pitched it. and
afer the defeat the Detroit players start
ed fighting among themselves. C1iques
were formed. and from that time on the
teams chances to win the flag went glim-
mering. Ray. who could not beat any of
the other teams in the league. repeated
twice thereafter, and when the series was
over Detroit had won two of the eight
games. That was the setback which vir-
tually gave r. Athletics the flag. for it
gave them lead which they never lost
