IOMM LONG, 81. LOUlS
CARDINALS:
You can never make me be-
lieve that a manager can take a
player who hasn't the natural
ability to hit the ball and make
batter out of him. 1t doesn't
make any difference how big or
how small he may be, a man can
succeed as a hitter if he has a
batting eye. If he hasn't all the
managers and coaching in the
world can't make a hitter out of
him.
Another thing which a player
needs is plenty or nerye. I have
seen scores of fellows who are ca
pable ball players but who are in
clined to be nervous II they think
anything depends on them. They
ought to overcome this falling
with a little more experience and
develop into stars.

Engagement Of
CHAPLIN Ends

Today will be the last day of
1.-THE Vagabond," the new Chap
lin comedy at the Melbourne the
alter. This is the third of the
Chaplin-Mutual comedies and is
full of nonsense and laughter.
The scenario was written by
Chaplin himself and naturally
gives him unlimited opportunity.
His left-handed violin playing is
a new part of the comedy.
THE Human Pendulum" is a
thrillingly dramatic film that is
attracting more than ordinary at
tention because OF the fact that
its scenario was written by Hem
ry McRae, former manager of the
old Star theater in Tacoma.

of tennis, hockey and basketball
The average woman is weak
on her backhand stroke because
she neglects the practice and un-
til she has gained confidence is
content to meet every drive with
a forehand stroke.
To get the best results in 'lriv-
ing the body should be going
forward as the stroke is exc
cuted. This produces the re-
quired speed.
Players who stand flat-footed
when they drive or hit when lean.
ing backward seldom get force or
direction.
At first players complain they
do not get a free motion when
using the backhand This is be-
cause the stroke brings into play
muscles not accustomed to this
use. In making the stroke face
the plane of the ball with Jour
right shoulder toward the net
and your weight on the left foot.
Swing your racquet across your
body as the ball approaches and
shift your thumb to tighten the
grip, then meet the ball before it
reaches the top of the bounce.
AS you follow your stroke
through your arm will naturally
straighten out until you find
yourself resting on your right
foot.
True, it is difficult to attain
the same force with the back
hand drive as with the forehand
as the position of the arm and
body is unnatural, yet a strong
ball can be delivered and, with
practice, sent to just the point
you want it.

Tigers hit hard yesterday, when
they hit, but the bingles weren't
punched up sufficiently to do
much good. Baldwin was the
particular hitting star of the aft

Myra, temperamental, passion-

WEAK PITCHING
COSTS TIGERS
ANo1HER C CAME

Dutcn MelnaI, late Oh odntd
Clara college, added another TO
his list of defeats yesterday. After
allowing the Miners to slam out
four doubles and five singles in
seven innings, he tossed the game
away by floating a slow one down
the groove in the eighth, and let
ting Fitzsimmons make triple

Hartman took up the cudgels
Immediately thereafter, but it was
hard burden to place on The
shoulders of a youngster, and lie
was not able to stand the strain.
Up to that time the score was
tied, 4 and 4 apiece. But Wuffli's
bad throw to first. walk, dou-
BILE, a single and sacrifice fly
let four more Montana boys trot
across the rubber, and the game
was lost beyond repair.
. . . .
If good pitcher had been
available to replace Mehlhaf when
he first showed signs of weak
ening, the game might have Eeen
saved. For those Tigers played
hard, and made mastery effort
to cop the game. Every time
Butte made a run, the Tigers fol-
lowed suit. Butte scored in the
first, and Tacoma tied it in the
fourth. Two runs for Butte in
the fifth, and two for Tacoma in
the sixth. Another for the Min
ers In the seventh, and one for
Tige in that inning.
. Q Q .
1t was a game of hard hits and
spectacular plays. One of the
neatest features of the contest
came in the fourth, when Kippert
singled to left with Johnson on
third. Killilay made a beautiful
peg to the plate, catching Eddie
four feet away from the rubber.
Fries made a wonderful play in
the sixth, spearing Kippert's long
drive with one hand at the fence.
There were two triples in the
course of the contest, Leard max
ing a bear of a hit to the center
corner of the lot, and Fitzsim-
mons duplicating the feat.
. . . .
Hoffman's work on first base
yesterday showed only too plain
ly how badly Butte needs a first
baseman. Hoffman is a catcher
by trade, and although he did
his best at first, he has lots to
learn about handling the bag. lie

pillow in the fourth. and let
Leard live on a dinky hit to short.
McGinnity is industriously trying
to find a first baseman to replace
Stoke, who went on strike last
week.

Two offers for Sammy Bohne,
Tiger shortstop, were received ty

that any sales will be made until

Won,en'S Clubs of Florida to Observe
Clean-Up Week October gid

For, after all, loose dirt that is car
rled and scattered by every wind
that blows, however disagreeable it
may be, is not the most serious men,
ace to health that is to be found in
every city. whether in Florida or in
other States. 1t is the things that
don't show, the things you have to
hunt for, that do the real harm. And
in the thorough cleaning that the
women will probably insist on week
latter next, will be the filling up or
draining of water holes, the breed
ing places for mosquitoes, the mend
ing of broken sewers that don't do
their duty, the screening Of hereto
fore unscreened earth closets which
breed flies and death. 1t will mean
the removal or the repairing of un-
sanitary home surroundings which
increase the sick rate.
Possibly it will secure what most
| city councils refuse to enforce by or
dinance-the careful screening OF
refuse from livery and other stables
which left uncovered releases its
| myriads of manure-bred flies, the
carriers of several highly fatal dis.
eases.
Many, perhaps most, of the unsan
itary neighborhood nuisances are
maintained on their own premises b!
individual home-keepers If the evi
results could be confined to thes'
householders, the punishment wCult
be kept and inflicted where it be
longs, but unfortunately these re
Suits are carried to the unoffend

If the women of Florida can dis
cover a method for abating sue
nuisances, for compelling offender
to cease their SHINING, if they viii

COURT REVERSES
HARSH SENTENCE
IN CRIMINAL CASE
Appellate Division Sets Prece-
dent in Ruling on Carry
! ing Pistol.

The Appellate Division Of tho su-
preme Court. Third Department, Jus
tice John Woodward writing tho
opinion, has decided that the APP
pellate Court has the right to re-
verso the conviction OF one accused
Of crime when, in the judgment Of
the Appellate Court, the sentence i'm
posed by the trial Judge is excess
sive. This ruling, establishing a
precedent, has aroused considerable
interest in legal circles.
James I. Miles, n resident Of
Oneonta, Otsego County. was con-
victed of carrying a revolver without
a license last December. The Judge
before whom Miles was tried SEN
fenced him to State prison for not
less than one year or more than one
year and four months. This SEN
tence the Appellate Court holds was
excessive, as there was nothing pro-
duced on his trial to show he was a
person of bad repute.
while the courts in civil actions"
Justice Woodward writes, have long
recognized the right OF reversing
judgments because they were for in
adequate or excessive amounts, there
appears to have been an impression
among the members OF the bar that
the judgment in a criminal case could
not be disturbed on account of an
excessive sentence and this impress
sion has been so far controlling that
many an act OF injustice has been
consummated under the forms of law
which should have been righted In the
Appellate Court: many an unjust SEN
tence has been endured because coun-
sci have failed to invoke the powers
Of the appellate tribunals to temper
individual prejudices with judicial
discretion
Justice Woodward in concluding the
opinion concurred in by three Of his
four associates says:
1T was an abuse OF the discretion
Of the court to determine the punish
ment of the defendant at one year
and four months. and not less than
one year: the punishment was all out
OF proportion to the magnitude Of the
alleged offense, so far as appears
from the evidence in this case, and
seems to have been the result of a
determination to punish the defend
ant for some unknown offense which
he was supposed to have committed,
or attempted to commit, but of which
he was not convicted.
The Judgment appealed from should
be reversed and a new trial granted"

CARRANZA MUST

Neither .h. Ar.r;s.n Nor i. M..o.
esn cenmissioners Appear
Pessimistic.

Philadelphia, Dec. 26.-Secretary
of Interior Lane and his colleagues
on the Mexican-Amreican joint COM
mission placed upon Gen. Carranza
today the responsibility of deciding
whether the American government
should continue its efforts to effect
q satisfactory and amicable adjust
ment of the questions affecting the
relations of the two countries, and
then adjourned until after the holi-
days. Through his representatives
on the commission they sent to him
q communication further explaining
the position of the United States gov
ernment and containing protestations
that there exists no intention to vio-
late the sovereignty of Mexico. 1t
was made clear, however, that there
can be no modification of the con-
ditions on which the American troops
will be withdrawn. from Mexico and
that the attitude of the government
as outlined in the declaration of pol
icy made by Secretary Lane when the
protocol was signed at Atlantic City,
has not been altered. NJ
The communication was terse but
studious care had been exercised to
keep out Of the document any
phraseology that might give offense
TO the Mexican executive. It was not
more than 500 words in length. It
was handed, to the Mexican represen-
tatives IN joint session and trans
