"Oh, I see. How simple. But would

The court refused to quash the in

Robert Johnson.

Died, in New Orleans Thursday even.
ing, June 9th, Robert johnson, husband
of Mia Simmons, and second son of
Luke Johnson ard Martha Locmis,
aged 2G years, a native Of Point Pleas
ant, La.
Nh. johnson had been in i'll health
for some time, but his condition was
not considered serious until a couple of
weeks ago, so he was taken to the city
last Sunday for treatment, and died a
few hours after a operation.
The deceased is survived By his Wild
CIV, father, mother, six brothers and
one sister, and it is needless TO say
that his passing in the prime Of life is
an irraparable loss to them. He was
a most loving, dutiful son, affectionate
brother and a tender, devoted husband.
His cheerful, genial disposition won
him many friends, who deeply sympa-
thlze with his bereaved family.
A touching incident connected with
his death was that his elder brother,
between whom and himself there was
a strong mutual attachment, happened
to be absent in another parish and COM
munication reached him too late to at
tend the funeral. Their business pur-
suits were always associated together,
and from boyhood up they We're never
known to have a difference.
The remains of the deceased were
laid to rest Saturday evening in the
Point Pleasant Cemetery, and the num-
Der of relatives and friends who pad
the last tribute of respect attested to
his popularity.

What the Truckers Are Doing
Elsewhere.

Fourteen cars of potatoes, two cars
of beans, seven crates of tomatoes and
two hampers CT beets shipped is the
record for Clinton the past week. The
potatoes brought $1.20 per bushel f. O.
b., while the beans and other truck
were shipped On consignment. Four
additional cars Of potatoes were sold
for immediate. delivery at 81 per bush
ell. Clinton Waterman.
Over $4,000 has been distributed
among the truck growers of West Fee
liciana parish during the past two
weeks as returns upon the produce
marketed by the members of the West
Feliciana Truck Growers Association
to date. roduce now being sent to
market consists of beans, cabbage, po-
tatoes and caulifower, with the to-
mato season just opening, and tie cab
bage season hardly begun.
Prices, are holding UP very we'll in
deed, and the returns being received
from the present crop come as a re-
ward for the long and firing labors OF
the pioneers in the trucking business
in this parish.
Small shipments of beans, tomatoes
and cucumbers go cut by express v
cry day, while nearly every day a
mixed car is shipped by freight. Be-
sides this, one or two cars of potatoes
are shipped daily.
/ Beans are netting from 60 cents to
$l.40 per hamper, and an entire car Of
cabbage was sold on the track averag-
ing SIPS per crate.
There are two potato buyers in the
local market, and cash is being paid
for potatoes as they are delivered to
the car.
The growing Of cauliaower is some
thing new for this locality, and the
first trial proves this to be a paying
crop. w. G. Howell planted two ounces
of seed, from which he will harvest
about 800 heads. The heads are bring
ing from Is to DO cents each, according
to size.
The association has received five
pounds of cauliilower seed, for which
they paid $50. These seeds are to be
planted by the different members as a
part OF the fall crop. The rest CT the
fall crop will consist Of potatoes and
cabbage, and possibly beans.
1t is indeed fortunate for the COM
munity that the leaders i'll the truck
ing movement were not discouraged by
their initial failures in this line Of en-
deavor, for their success of the pres
ent season is bound to prove a incen-
tive to others, and no one can f%oretell
the possibilities of the business if fol-
lowed painstakingly. st. Francisyille

ROBINSON DEVELOPER.
OF GIANT TWIRLERS
Dodgers New Manager Is Credited
With Bringing Out Marquard,
Tesreau and Demaree.

Wilbert Robinson, veteran Giant
coach, who was recently released con-
ditionally on bis request TO his supe-
riors, and is now manager of the
Brooklyn club, is a great coacher OF
pitchers.
Robinson is credited with having de-
veloped Rube Marquard, Jeff Tesreau
and Al Demaree BY some hncanny sys-
tenn Robbie seems 20 be able to instill
control into the wild rookie and 10 make
q star out of what looks to be elem
on" material. Ho made a great twirl-
er out of Marquard in 1911 at time
when the Rube was everywhere hailed
as the sll, 900 "lemon. The next year
saw Robinson bring out another phe-
nom in Tesreau, while his contribution
to the Giant pitching staff in the sea-
son Just closed was Al Demaree.
Robinson was induced 10 come out of
his retirement four years ago by Nc,
Graw, who played with him in the old
days of the champion Orioles in Balti-
more. AT that time Robbie was well
known as steadier of young pitchers,
and there were few recruit twirlers that
he could not size up in Jig time. The
necessity for a coach for young pitch.
ers for the Giants became very appar-
ent to McGraw when he acquired Mar
guard and "Bull' Durham from the
his old pal Robbie as the very man for
the job.
1t took quite lot of inducing TO get
Wilbert to leave his home in BaIti-
more, but in the long run the lure Of the
game told and he took up his work
with the Giants.
Robinson was a member Of Ned Han
Ion s famous Baltimore champions of
1894. 1895 and 1896 and was major
league bnckstop from 1856 TO 1902, in
elusive. After retiring from the Bal
timore American league team in 1902,
Robbie announced be never again would
don a uniform.
He was horn in Hudson, Mass. In
! lS67. and began his professional career
in 1885 with the Haverhill club. The
Athletics snatched Robbie at the end
of the season and he remained with
Philadelphia until the fall Of 1890
Robinson was then transferred to Bal.
timore. and with John McGraw and
Billy Keister was sold 10 the st. Louis
Cardinals in 1900. He put in half the
season in the Mound City, then went
back TO Baltimore to organize a stock
company and place team In the
American league.
During his major league career he
caught in 1850 championship games
and was one OF the first major league
backstops TO catch behihd the plate all
the time

TO BAR PROFESSIONAL
COACHES IN BASEBALL

Tho agitation to eliminate the profes-
sional baseball coach during the playing
OF inter-varsity games Is at present the
subject OF correspondence and discus
sion among number OF eastern colleges
1t Is the contention. that the mines should
play their game without tho field es-
sistance and advice OF the professional
coach, II, II is to be purely amateur
contest.
The Harvard Alumni Bulletin expresses
the following editorial opinion on the
subject;
The object of these athletic teach
ers Is to prepare tho men for their
final tests. just as instructors In
other departments prepare the men
for the final examinations. Only in
athletics, however, does the teacher
lend n hand IN the final examlna-
ton. The single sport in which he
does not Is rowing. Would Il not be
advisable 10 adopt in all the branches
Of sport some measure which would
leave the men TO themselves In the
final test7 In this way leadership for
the captain and responsibility for all
the players would be mora fully de-
veIoped. Also tho results OF the con-
tests would depend more upon tho IN
tolligencs OF the competitors and less
upon the cleverness of tho coach.
