MONTGOMERY, ALA. July 25.-It

B. Jones will retire from the presiden-

Mr.. Jones says that there is too much

oughly know the strength and
weakness Of batters, and the best
base runners dread seeing either
of them behind the bat With the
wagon tongue both are hard, time
ly hitters. Very seldom do they fall
down in the pinch.
The two best pitchers that ever
decorated the mound with their
presence are Marquard and john
son. 1 consider Marquard the great
est of all southpaws, while John
son is the best right-hander in the
game today.
This team with Crandall, with
his hitting and ability to pitch, play
the outfield or the intield as utility
man, would surely give a worthy
account of themselves against any
combination.
Under McGraw's management,
there would be nothing to it, be-

Cobb and Jackson are selected
because they are without ri
walls, and Jones is placed in the
other garden position, despite the
fact there is another outfielder as
great as he, for the simple reason
that my left fielder would be a
world of value in leading off the
batting order. If 1t wasn't for
Fielder's great leading off ability,
I would have given Iris Speaker
the job
The inf1eld, think, is superior to
any that could be collected, even
though there may be other players
who have shown more in the past.
l am sure that Collins will never
go back, while the other three men,
particularly Barry, have displayed
wonderful improvement in every
series that has been played this
season.
Ask any major league ball player
who he thinks is the greatest in

tell you Jack Barry He is not a

to coach on the bases. And de-
spite this fact managers often put
their dullest men on this job, and
at best make it a rule to send out
pitchers for the work And pitch
ers are obviously the men in the
world least likely to have accurate
judgment about plays.
"a coacher often has some of the
most complicated sorts Of problems
to figure out. A man is on first,
the batter hits safe 1t may be
anything. The runner comes dash
ing to third. the outfielder is mess
ing up the fielding a bit. Then,
all in second or two, the coacher
must figure a dozen things, among
them the score, the speed of the
base runner, the throwing ability of
the outfielder, the courage and clev-
erness Of the catcher in touching
out runners at the plate and a half
dozen minor matters like that. Is
1t any wonder they sometimes go
wrong?
The Cracker coachers have been
immediately weak this year in
using the right judgment about
making plays. Not improbably un-
der the new regime there will be
an Improvement in this respect

II the bali club should fall in the

To let the franchise go to Little

Nashville and a body blow at the

HAY IN ROTATION.
BY William P. Brooks, Mass. Agrlcuk
tural Exp. Station.

National Crop Improvement Service.]
Commonly grass follows wheat or
rye in rotation. but may be success
fully sown after spring rye or wheat,
but the most encouraging results will
follow from methods such as have
been proven by experiments. The
custom has been to SOW grass with
wheat in the autumn and to SOW
clover when that is used on the wheat
land early in the spring. This may
be a good plan but cannot be relied
upon.
After the wheat is harvested, long
hot summers give the young grass
or clover plants hard struggle.
To make the growing Of grass most
profitable, separate preparation OF
land and separate sowing Of the grass
seed in the late summer or early fall
after the removal Of the wheat crop,
Is by far the most promising method.
AS soon as possible after the cutting
Of the wheat, the stubble should be
disc narrowed and the surface put In
fine, mellow condition for one or two
inches deep and should be occasion
ally re-harrowed through the summer
when the moisture content is right,
and then heavily seeded with mixed
grass in the late summer.

COMMON WEEDS IN HAY.

Dany.

National Crop Improvement Service.]
A considerable proportion Of the
mowings of hay are infested with
weeds Of different kinds. Among the
most common and troublesome are the
common white and yellow daisy, wild
carrot, sorrel, dock, buttercups, the
common plantain, dandelions, milk
weed, ragged robin and horsetail The
methods to keep them in subsection
must be quite different in details for
tie different weeds; but In general 1t
may be said that, il the soil is kept
sweet by sufficient use of lime, and
well enriched, the conditions will be
made so favorable for the growth OF
the better grasses and the clovers that
the weeds will have relatively little
chance.
The grasses and the clovers, In the
struggle for existence which is always
going on in the meadows, will prove
victorious. If weeds have a strong
growth the only method Is to reseed.

may place the methods of what we
love to call slow-going old England
That country may be slow-going in
other respects, but its justice is swift
and sure. Crippen was hanged nine
months after his crime, and. four
months and five days after his vic
tins body was found. Had an ap-
peal been taken, it would have been
tried the next month. Sentence is
executed in the third week after it is
passed.
The swiftness and certainty of pun
ishment has direct relation to the
prevalence of crime. London con-
victs promptly eight out Of nine MUIR
derers; in 1909 that city had nine
teen murders and twenty -seven cases
of manslaugter. New York convicts
slowly one out of nine murderers in
dicted, in 1911 that city had 1913 mur-
ders and only thirteen executions.
The record for Chicago is twice as
bad; for st. Louis and New Orleans
more than three times. for Memphis
twelve times as bad. The lives of
good citizens are held cheap in Am
erica because we hold the lives OF
murderers dear; the lives of good citi-
zens are held dear in Europe because
the lives of murderers are held cheap.
The machinery of the law is per-
verted into a means of defeating the
purpose of the law, which is the
prompt, sure punishment of crime.

LAWS DELAY IN
BECKER APPEAL
ONE HUNDRED DAYS BETWEEN
CRIME AND SENTENCE. BECK.
Err MAY PAY PENALTY IN YEAR.

Commendable expedition has been
shown so far in bringing Becker, the
plotter for Rosenthal's murder, to JUS
tice. With the notice of appeal the
delay begins. One hunderd days
elapsed between the crime and the
sentence. The best that can be eX-
pected is that Becker will pay the
penalty within a year after the crime.
The defense is allowed time to con-
dense the record, the prosecution is
given ten days to file amendments,
the trial Judge allows or disallows GER
tain parts of both papers, thirty days
are allowed for printing and at last
the case reaches the court of appeals.
That court grants two or three
months for the preparation of briefs,
five days for the prosecutors reply,
ten days for the defense's rebuttal.
Then the case goes on the calendar.
where capital appeals have prefer
ence. Sixteen days notice or argu-
ment is given, day or two is con
sumed in argument. and the appeal
court takes some time to reach and
consider the case. If a new trial Is
refused, a new time is set for eXecu-
ton, usually in about six weeks. IL
the verdict is reversed, the prisoner
is set free. If the trial court is found
to have erred, or the verdict is con-
trary to law or clearly against the evil
dence, or if new evidence is adduced
which would probably have changed
the verdict, a new trial is ordered.
Appeal to Gain Time
The purpose of an appeal Is almost
invariably to gain time, for lapse o.
time favors the criminal. Witnesses
may die or disappear Or be spirited
away or be induced to change their
evidence. New witnesses may be
found or procured. Judges may give
