1t strikes us as being a most dan
gerous idea for the State of South
Carolina to go into the money lend
ing or cotton buying business. Sew
eral bills are being proposed looking
to the issuance of bonds for this
purpose. This will put debt OF
millions upon the State, and whether
the State will ever come out of the
transactions without being the loser
is problematical. The States debt
now is only about six millions. We
hope the people will think a long
time before tacking twenty-five mill
ions more to it.

an oner Of $4,000 from Australia to

position with the laconic cablegram:

Dssecting this cablegram, one is led
to believe that Gibbons has SO MANY
lights scheduled in this country that
he cannot afford to make a trip to the
other side of the world and clean up
a tidy sum. Far from it. Gibbons
really meant home"
The underlying cause of Gibbons
refusal is that he is a home-Ioying

their W "kiddies' than he does for

they will know that he prefers to sit
at the fireside and afar off with the
tykes than he does to endanger a hap

blows Of a merciIess opponent.
The queer part of 1t all is that Glib

w~elterweight and middleweight divis-
Ions that he could go through a score
OF contests without receiving even 4
scratch. Yet he shuns It all to enjoy
domestic lie.

(By Hugh s. Fullerton.)

The scouts are beginning to come in
with their early fall purchases of ball
players. Peculiarly enough they re-
port the crop Of young players better
than it has been in years.
Usually at this time Of the season,
the reports of the, scouts are pessimis-
tic in the extreme. They usually de-
clare there is not a ball player worth
having. lust why I cannot figure out.
but they are bringing in promising
ones already and declare that the
bushes are alive with. talent.
Part Of this may be luz to the fact
that the minor league owners are in
bad financial shape, and anxious to
market their good players early, and
get cash to carry through h twilight
of the season.
Only a few of the teams; those
hopelessly out of it, are starting to try
out men and the prospects look good.
Cleveland seems to have raked in a
couple Of corkers in Wambsganss and
Pezold. Wambsganss looks good
enough for a regular berth right now,
but Pezold appears to need bench ex-
%perience in the big circuit. The Chi
cago White Sox. seeking hitters, have
landed Happy Felch of milwaukee,, a
corker and a conner who can swat. He
hits right and meets them solidly.
Four clubs were angling for this one
and the Sox landed him. They also
grabbed Cecil Coombs. the Bay City
boy, but sent him back. He doubtless
will get a chance to take a big league
training trip next year, however.

MICHAEL GIBBONS PREFERS TO TOAST
HIS FEET IN FRONT OF FAMILY FIRE

Those engaged in the boxing profess
sion are, to a man. too often and too
readily condemned for their mercen-
airy ~proclivities. True. the game is
conducted purely On a commercial
basis. but once in a long while there
appears a fighter who dons the gloves
solely for the physical benefit to be
derived therefrom.
He Is a man who ranks high-ex-
ceedingly high-in the resin game. He
Is acknowledged the peer of pugilists
in two divisions. In fact. he is rated
the c~leverest boxer in the game to-
day. for he Is none other than Michael
Gibbons. affectionately termed the st.
Paul wizard" ghost phantom"
and other things Of the mystic realm.
1t undoubtedly comes as a surprise
to be informed that Mike Gibbons is
not in the game for the none he can
extract from the Rulible public by
exhibiting a pair of pad-encased
gloves in the ring. Nevertheless Glib

\ unique method is used To test cyl

an inch, this simply allowing for the
movement of the piston head.
BY old machine shop methods the
cylinder was bored out and the pis-
ton head turned and then one was tit
ted 10 the other. When Ford pro-
ductiou ran up into hundreds OF motor
cars per day il was obviously impos-
Sible 10 test in this way as cylinders
We're bored in one portion of the plant
while the pistons were being turned
"a great distance away.
\ device was therefore worker out
in which an electric globe is used to
make the test. When a cylinder has
been bored 10 the correct size il IL
slid over an electric globe. \ piston
suage of the exact size of a piston
head is then slip into the cylinder and
the tester examines it carefully 10 as
certain il any light leaks around the
guage. II there is no sign Of light it
means that the cylinder has been bored
properly, but If light shows the cyliu-
der is rejected as defective.

ling is finished. This has always
meant iabpr,ous cranking or the spin

The difficulty was solved at the
Ford plant at Detroit in a unique man
