Sheriff Grabs Knife Artist

Sheriff LATE Yates came over
from Grangeville Saturday after
noon and placed under arrest a
man named Charles Smith, who
had severely cut a companion
with a butcher knife. Smith and
his camp partner, Melvin Bosler,
were cutting wood in the Big
Cove section and got into a quar-
rel when Smith used knife with
ious effects. Smith left
Grangeville and started toward
Sites but later switched west
and got into town only a few
minutes ahead of the officer.
When placed under arrest he tried
to destroy a check given him by
Art Wiley for labor performed.
The sheriff secured the check
which had been written for 81. 65,
and discovered it had been raised
by Smith to $4O.65 but the man
had been arrested before he could
cash it. Smith was taken back
to Grangeville that evening and
was this week sentenced by Judge
Steele to serve from one to two
years in the state penitentiary.

CONTENDS U. S. NEEDS
NEW MILITARY SYSTEM
Only Is Per Cent of Militiamen on
Border Ready for Service When
Called, Security League Says.

That only IS per cent of the national
guardsmen on the border were ready
for service when called by the Presi-
dent is the statement made by the
National Security League of New
York in a bulletin issued today.
Only one third of the men in camp
were members of the National Guard
when the call was issued by the Pres
ident,'' the bulletin says. The
physical examinations to which the
suardsmen were subjected by federal
officers very largely reduced the orig
inal personnel and inasmuch as very
few of the regiments were even at
their minimum peace strength the
ranks have been filled up by raw re-
cruits 1t has been impossible to
carry out the original plans for the
formation of twelve divisions OF
militia. and there is shortage of
field artillery. cavalry and. auxiliary
troops in all of the skeleton divisions
with the exception of New York"
The National Security League con-
tends that unless a military system
similar to that in force in Switzerland
is adopted in the United States there
will be no land force on which the ma
tion can depend.

Regardless of whether ht-handed
or left handed pitcher is on the mound
for the st. Louis Browns today. Joe
Judge will play first base for the Griff-
men.
Manager Griffith made this announce
ment this morning, as he is satisfied
that Judge is capable of holding his
own against southpaws. and if he
should show any weakness in this re-
spect he will be kept in the game not
withstanding, in the hope that he will
master the art of hitting left-handed
pitchers.
The same course will be pursued with
Elmer Smith. who. it is believed, Will,
if given the chance. learn to effectively
hit against left-handed pitchers.
Cobb. Milan and jackson are just as
apt to hit a left-hander as a right
handler and Gritfith wants to give his
left-handers a chance to acquire this
ability.

here Tuesday morning. ready to play

praise that has been showered on him
by those who have seen him in action,
he should prove of great value to the
Griffmen.
Harry Harper and either Davenport or
Weilmap were the early selections as
pitchers in the second game of the series
with the Browns today. The game was
set to be called at $3.50 O'Clock, as will
all games hereafter. excepting the Satur-
day games, which will begin at 3 O'Clock.
There was no change contemplated in
the lineup today, excepting that of Judge
taking Williams place at first. Morgan
will continue to lead off as he has proved
himself much more valuable man in
that position than he was farther down
in the batting order. Morgan has good
eye and gets a lot of walks during d
season.

No. 24-Defensive Play.

You are placed on the defensive when

Your scheme of game depends largely

come 10. the net on service; if the serv-
fee is swift, they will not reach a good
net position before you have the return
whizZing back-especially if you take
the service on the upward bounce. If
the service is slow and she comes in,
you have every chance to pass her with

cover the whole net
Watch carefully against the plays
that are designed to lead you into po-
sition where cross court return may
be put out of your reach. Instantly re-
turning to position is the safe defense,
Tor then you have the court well in
hand. II the ball bounces that you
must go far beyond the side line for the
return. you had best lob the return or
make a slow stroke, which will give
you time to reach position before the
bail can come across again. In such
case your return is purely defensive and

the quick return is to meet the ball as

If you are on the defensive and hard

On complaints from cotton planters

that there is a combination to depress
and control the price of cotton seed. At

resumption of investigation which the
Department of Justice made into the
subject last year.
From individuals and organizations
in practically every southern cotton
growing state the department, within
the last few days, has received com
plants of an alleged combination.
Similar complaints last year were in
vestigated by the departments special
agents, and although much evidence to
support the complaints was unearthed
it was not then considered sufficient to
warrant a prosecution.
The recurrence of the complaints this
year has led the Attorney General to
