President Wilson and his cabinet
have set aside n days this summer
to probe the baseball trust. All of the

Questions asked by President Wilson
the first day he began to probe base
ball. The scene is the club house of
the Washington team:
The president-HelIo, Griff, shake.
How are you?
Grifhth-Purty good, pal. How goes
it?
The PRESIDENTIAL right. Say, why
didn't you work Walter today?
Griffith am saving him up for the
Athletics.
The PRESIDENT know. but how about
these games with Boston?
Griffith need all I can get, but 1
can't use Walter every day.
The president-You can't? Well, 1
use Bryan every day.
Griffith-Sure, but Bryan uses his
voice and Walter his arm.
The notwithstanding about arms,
Bryan has a mighty long one. He
reached from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific in the convention at Baltimore
last summer
Grif1th-He wants to take care of
his arm, then.
The president-He is. Now he has
only to reach to the White House 1
see in Bill Peet's column that Eddie
Foster is i'll. What's the matter with
him?
Griff1th-He is full of the grip. Caught
it from Jack Coombs, suppose.
The president-Who is Jack Coombs?
Griffith-He is a hellova pitcher.
The president-What makes you
think so?
Griffth-Ask any of my players.
They think he is next to Bender.
The president-Who is Bender?
Grifhth-One great pitcher.
The president-What makes you
think so?
They think that he is next to Plank.
The president-Who is Plank?
Griffith-One marvellous pitcher.
The president-What makes you |
think so?
Griffith-Ask any of my players.
The president-What clubs do |
Coombs. Bender and Plank play on?
Grifith-The whole three are on the |
Athletics.
The president-what, the whole three |
must fight for the pennant?
Griffith-That's the truth.
The president-Well, then, baseball |
is a trust, and if it wasn't for the
fact that 1 like to see johnson pitch
and Milan steal second, I'd probe it,
Who pitches tomorrow?
Griffith-We will be in Philadelphia,
You know. 1 think I'll send in Hughes. |
The prcsident-Fine. You want to
get the jump on the Athletics. BY the
way, what's the name of that tall thin
man who manages that club?
Griffith-He is Connie Mack, other
wise known as the tall tactician. He is
the brainiest man in baseball, besides
myself.
The president-what are his poll
tics?
Griffith-He is perpetual motion
Democrat. He would as soon order |
Baker put in double irons before a
worlds series than vote for a Repub-
lican.
The president-Clark, I'm going to
win that pennant for you.
Griffith-Great Scott! What do you
mean?
The president-Why,( am going to
send Macks nomination to the senate
for the post of minister to Siam. He
will have to leave his team and then
you'll have the whole race to yourself.
Well have a worlds series in Wash
ngton next October.
Griff1th-Woody, you're not brick.
You are a slab of granite as high as
the capitol. Put it here.

sauce is brought on each guest must
place cranberry on the end of
knife. holding the knife in the left
hand with the right hand close behind
the cranberry. At the word SNAP"
given by the hostess, the cranberry
should be snapped with the first fin
ger of the right hand at the target.
The game shall be continued until each
player has shot away all of his cram
berries. The score is counted thus:
Hitting the hostess with a cranberry
counts one.
Hitting grandpa counts two; grand
ma. three; Uncle Will. four; Uncle
Tom. five, and so on, depending on
whom the guests and those around the
table are.
A cranberry that goes on the floor is
out of play. but one that falls in any
persons lap or sticks in the hair or
on a coat or dress can be picked up
and played again. Anybody that hits
anybody else squarely on the nose
counts fifty to the lucky players score.
This is a highly diverting game and
one that all will enjoy, especially the

STATE MAY PUBLISH
GWN SCHOOL BOOKS

Atlanta, Oct 11.-While the school
book commission is at work under the
McCrory resolution, interest is in
creasing daily in the possibility of
securing cheaper school books for the
children of Georgia, and a strong SEN
timent is growing in favor Of the state
publication plan.
Hon. Grover C. Edmundson, repre-
sentative from Brooks county, is
quoted in an interesting interview on
the subject, in the course of which he
says:
while the question did not of its
own necessity, require an investiga-
ton by a commission, yet We conf
uCHIly CApeCI d lCpOiI LhdC VIII Coh
vince the legislature that the sugges-
ed plan of state publication of school
books is not only proctical but neg
essary.
"The opposition to cheaper school
books emanates from a source not al
together satisfactory to the people Of
Gergia, and if the people become con-
WINGED that the known opposition of
the school book trust to cheaper books
I dictates the attitude of certain public
officials, they will hand them dose o.
political ostracism. 1t is right that
such officials be rebuked and that sucn
mercenary motives be regulated by
the people of the state.
"The despicable attitude of the
rules committee, headed by Speaker
Burwell, in throttling the McCrory
bill at the last session of the legisla-
ture, is a lasting shame and q dis
grace. Let us hope that it will not be
repeated this summer

exhaustion.
Statistics of the occupation of those
admitted show that more and more

muneration is not great are commit
