Heating, who is a classy fielder. will
be able to keep up his end of the
batting work. In that event either
COrriden or Phelan will get the job
Of playing between second and third.
Corriden can outhit Heating, but
is not quite as strong defensiVely
Phelan, who can bat points ahead of
either of the other fellows, is ranked
by both in the field. His batting may
be needed, however, and he can i'm
prove in grabbing the grounders.
Short is a strange place to him, and
he would naturally need time to be-
come acquainted with the surround
ings.
Benching Schultz was unexpected,
though it was the proper thing to do
in the circumstances Frank has been
the weakest hitter on the team this
spring and could be counted for
nothing on attack. He has been a
regular for so many years, though,
that suggestions that he may be re-
moved were fTowned on because of
sentiment.
Williams is by no means a fixture
in left field. He opened at a terrific
clip Saturday, busting pair of triples
and two singles: This suspicious
start would argue that he is a whale
of a batter, but Long Cy was off to
the same clip last summer and failed
to stick. His humping slumped dis
mally when the pitchers became wise
to his weakness.
A low curve over the inside corner
is an unsolvable puzzle to the Notre
Dame star. Because of the poor pitch
ing during the early stages of the
race, Williams may get away with a
good average for a time, but as soon
as the beavers boil out and get the
proper control, Williams will be baf-
fed in his batting efforts unless he
can learn to meet that low curve.

pleasant surprise. His judgment of
ground balls is only fair, but he was
getting more assists than any other
outfelder in the league. He seemed
TO know what to do with the ball after
he got it.
Cheney pitched yesterday and won,
as usual. He allowed the Cards but

Wilbur Good was king pin with a
trio of doubles and one single in. four
efforts. Safer got a triple and single,
Leach two singles, Sweeney a triple,
and Zim and Bresnahan each poled
a single. Williams and Heating batted
without results.
Charlie, Kuhn, who has been

years, has resigned" That is the
information President Thomas gave
out, but the veteran caretaker init
mated he had been asked to hand in

Joe Tinker and RoIlie Zeider re-

space yesterday and helped lift the
team back to the 800 point. The bat

locals on a mad career, and their as

Aside from the hitting there was
nothing much to the game. When a

Discovers Method TO

Power plants of Nevada in which
erosion and pitting in boilers has CIV
en- trouble, may find relief from their
troubles by communicating with the
school of engineering of the Univer-
sity of Nevada. Dean Scrugham an
nounces the discovery of new meth
cd of eliminating such difficulties and
asks that any one in the State having
trouble with erosion in boilers apply
to the university for assistance IN
order that the new method may be

striction is that the water used IN
the boilers must not have an excess
of alkali. Otherwise the system may

San Francisco, Jan. 3.-Concur-
rent with the present crime wave,
following the CONGESTION of Unem-
ployed thousands here and in other
cities, the most insidious attempt is
being made to discredit CALIFORNIA;
probation policy for prisoners.
Public uneasiness has been taken
as their cue by the antagonists, who
have not hesitated at the most SEN
sational means.
The police, nettled at swelling
criticism Of incompetence, are de-
clared to be aiding certain business
men in raising the old hue and cry
against the ex-convict and the pa
rolled man.
"A fragrant instance of this I'M
founded attack, was sign placed in
his shop window of a prominent San
Francisco merchant, following the
burglary of his store, which read:
'.This noiseless glass job was done
by parole from Calfornia's sum-
mer resort
Confronted by State Parole Officer
Edward H. Whyte, the merchant,
Samuel Spiro, admitted that his i'm
piled wholesale accusation was
founded on nothing more substantial
than belief that no one else could
have done the job, because only guns
were taken"
The incident is TYPICAL" asserts
Whyte. GA strong effort is being
made to arouse public prejudice
against The system which gives the
offender another chance.
"And some peace officers, as well
as citizens, have not scrupIed to fur
