President Eldridge Delivers Adj
dress at Annual Convention
of Bar Association
100 LAWYERS PRESENT
Says it is Difficult to Induce
Men of High Character to
Seek Judgeships

SAGINAW. Mich. Sept 4.-The
twenty-second annual convention OF
the Michigan Bar Association opened
a two days session In Saginaw this
morning when Judge Eldridge. OF
Marquette. the president. delivered
his annual address. There are about
one hundred lawyers present
Judge o. ". Carter, OF the Illinois
supreme bench, Is here to deliver an
address on the recall OF judges.
President Eldridge. In his address.
paid considerable attention TO the re-
call Of judges.
Under the best imaginable system
certain proportion OF judges may be
expected to have their ears TO the
ground, listening for the changing
tide OF the public opinion. II all are
TO be thus affected. either by reason
that at any time they may be recall
ed or that their decisions will be al.
tered or annulled by popular vote. the
independence OF the judiciary Will be
gone and the value Of our system
greatly lessened or destroyed.
The general enactment OF working
mems compensation acts and the al
most universal approval OF such acts
Is conclusive evidence that juries
have been dealing with conditions
where justice was not To be had under
the existing laws"
President Eldridge dwelt at length
with the jury system, and appealed
for changes whereby q higher class
OF jurors could be obtained. He would
have laws making II compulsory for
business men TO serve on juries and
not escape on trivial excuses.
Our candidates for circuit judges
are selected by the primary system.
and We have fear that the same sys-
TEN will soon be used to select candi-
dates for the supreme bench" he
said.
1T Is dificult to induce men OF
high character and learning TO seek
and to campaign and ad-
vertise their wares and II the state
bar association does not take q hand
and see that high-class men seek
it will be only q short
time before the high character Of cir
cult and supreme judges will deterior-
ate," he added.
He eulogixed the system In Wiscon-
sin, where judges are recommended
by the bar association.
Judge Eldridge recommended the
OF the redistricting Of
the circuits OF the county, sixteen OF
them now being one county In size.

that the pitcher who has the STUFF IS
going to be success anyway and that
brains do not count for so much In a
pitcher as some writer's would have US

This is erroneous. The case might
be demonstrated in the FL PasO city

OF the batrers in this tight little or
gauization spike or pull away their

Now every pitcher should know tnat
a batter of this type II he is any sort

batsman. of such type. swinging at
ball on the outside can't hit II far or
hard because he is not in the proper po-
siIiOu to meet it, He is virtually go
ing away from the ball when he SWINGS
whereas on ball close in he gets the
full play OF his stick.
Conversely with the batter who hugs
the plate the ball on the outside is the
one he Will Kill There fore the wise
pitcher hands this type of batter moth
ing but high straight ones on the inside
or curves which break I'm close over the
inside corner OF the pan The obvious
idea is 10 get the batter TO hit the ball
on the club handle instead OF out to-
ward the three-quarters mark where
leverage is behind the swing.
But now often Of "a sunday VIII You

result is a hit Fisher viii testify TO
this in the case OF Thompson
The wise pitcher Of today is the
pitcher who knows what the corners

all the time.

showing that all champions do go
back and they may talk until they are
blue in the face about the improved
ability OF James Flynn but the boxing
fan who is hep, knows that the John
son-FlyCn fight is predestined frost.
The other day notice was posted
that Flynn is weighing 211. Just
another pleasant little fairy tale.
1t calls TO mind the time ketchel met
send the thorough bred Ketchel who
weighed about 156 pounds against the
bulking Johnson of 215.
Willis Britt and the promoters be-
hind this match knew that they had
to do something to make il look good.
What they did is history. They pro-
claimed to the boxing world that
ketcheI weighed $50 pounds while
Johnson had trained down to 19S. that
making the disparity in weights but
IS pounds.
1t was a lie out Of the whole cloth
Even after months of idleness and dis
sipation ketchel never weighed 179
pounds 1t is true that he lost and
took on weight quickly but that, while
training, he could have weighed $50
pounds was something that his friends
knew was absolutely impossible.
1t is the same game with Flynn.
They are going to try to make the
pee-pul believe that Flynn weighs con-
siderably more than he does while long
before the battle shall have started
