"TINY' GINN
MAY BE ATHLETIC MENTOR AT
MT. VERNON HIGH NEXT
YEAR-PRoMINENT AT o. S. U

There is well-defined rumor to the
effect that "Tiny" CHM, star athlete
of o. S. u, will be the successor of
Coach j. F.. Jacks as instructor of the
athletic teams OF Mt. Vernon high
school next year.
CHM, it is understood, has not
signed a contract as yet but the
terms offered him are said to be very
favorable. He will, of course, instruct
in academic work at the high school,
if he comes to the high school.
CHM is one of the best all-round
athletes turned out by o. S. U. in re-
cent years. His football prowess is
we'll known, while his work on the
basketball teams of o. S. U. for sew
eral years has attracted wide atten-
ton. He would be a worthy success
or to Coach Jacks.

al stars

With the exception of a few minor
details, deal has been completed
whereby Dale Il. Barre will take over
the Mt. Vernon base ball club from
it's present owner, Joseph Ferguson.
Mr.. Barre expects to assume charge on
Sunday, July 8.
Only a few of the present members
of the team will be retained by Mr..
Barre who intends to place in the line
up several of the men he has used on
his team which has been palying out
of-town Sunday ball this season. The
remainder of the players will probably
be imported.
Mr.. Barre is planning for big base
ball tournament to be held here at the
end of the season in which teams from
Mansfield, Newark, Mt. Vernon and
Knox county will compete. The latter
nine will be organized from players
outside of Mt. Vernon.
As a special feature Of this tourna-
ment, Mr.. Barre hopes to secure the
services of "Ty" Cobb and iris
Speaker, in case these two stars are
not playing postseason ball. The
tournament will occupy two days and
promises, if put through, to attract
much attention.
High class base ball each Sunday
will be the watchword of Mr. Barre in
case he takes over the club. He prom
ises that all games will be clean; that
the Mt. Vernon club will be one of
the strongest the city has known in
years and that only the best mines will
be booked in for games.

On the other hand, when a child

Republican Referendum Up

REP. Dill MAKES CANVASS
Poll Of 1850 Votes in State Of Wash
ington Taken by Former Fred
ericktown Boy Shows
Strong Administra-
tion Sentiment

Washington, d. c., June 29--Demo-
cratic congressman regard as very
significant a referendum taken by
Congressman Dill, formerly of Fred
ericktown, Ohio, in the Spokane con-
gressional district, state of Washing
ton. The referendum was on the
vital questions with which the admin
istration is dealing. The president
was sustained in every particular.
The district is strongly Republican,
Thousands of Replies
81 sent list of questions to every
man and woman VINO voted in the
Fifth congressional distrist of Wash
ington in 1914, and l received literal
ly thousands of replies" Mr.. Dill said.
"These replies came from every class
of people in every part of the district,
both city and country. The first ques-
tion l asked was whether or not they
favored increasing the appropriations
from $25O,O00,00O to $500, 100000 for
preparedness. In reply received
majority of 300 in favor of the big
preparedness program.
"The total was 12,517. Those in
favor were 6,412 and those opposed
6,105. And the striking thing about
it was that in Spokane, city of 140,-
900 people, my home town, the vote
was nearly three to two in favor Of
this program, while in the country
districts surrounding Spokane, in the
outlying counties, it was nearly three
to two against the program.
Overwhelming Republican
Now happen to live in a district
that is normally overwhelmingly Re.
publican, and I asked two questions,
the results of which are interesting
from q political standpoint. / asked
whether or not they were in favor Of
supporting the presidents policy as
to Mexico, and as to the European
war, and the answers show that by a
vote of more than three to one they
support the presidents policy in Mex
| leo, and as to the European war, and
the answers show that by vote of
more than three to one they support
the presidents policy in Mexico, and
by a vote of more than two to one
they support him in his European
policy"
! How the Questions Were Put
Mr.. Dill read the questions and the
totals in reply as follows:

tions for the army and navy from
$3.50 100000 to $50O,0OO,O00? Yes,
6,412; No, 6,1O5.
