JAKE LOEB BALKS ON TAKING
CHANCE WITH JUDGE
Jake Loeb didn't take a chance on
getting in wrong with the superior
court yesterday. Action on the
dropping of the teachers was post
pOned until Tuesday.
Morton MacCOrmac, Thompson
Lundin boss in the 7th ward and
chief statistician of the board, who
was to have presented his report on
the administration, also postponed
action.
It is believed that MacCOrmac's
report is to furnish Jake Loeb and
the ThOmpsOn-Lundin political ma
chine with an excuse to get rid of
those teachers who refuse to sacri-
flee the welfare of the school system
to politics.
States Atty HOyne's interest in
Jake JOeb's little scheme to do away
with the merit rule is worrying Loeb
and his eleven henchmen, according
ing to the dope passed out around
the school board. The Loeb crew
are unable to figure out just what
HOyne proposes to do.
Loeb was a very disappointed man
over the halt called on his. scheme
by the injunction proceedings before
Judge Sullivan. 1t was all set to
drop about 1900 teachers yesterday.
By delaying the game with public
opinion aroused to the fever point
against the action of the school board
it is believed that some of Loeb's crew
may get cold feet" and refuse to
trail along.
Here is the proposition the Loeb
crew is up against: On one side Big
Business interests and the Thomp-
sOn-Lundin political crowd are try
ing to wallOp the teachers and the
school system, on the other hand

ence on the curriculum demonstrates
that the old days when the profess
sional coach was looked on with dis
favor by faculties have practically
vanished.
George Huff, director Of athletics
and famous baseball coach, is the
originator of the school and is in
charge of it, with Coaches ZUppke,
Jones and Gill as assistants. Huff
reports that there is a constant and
increasing demand for competent
men to direct athletics and to coach
teams and the state university is
often asked to recommend men ca
pable of filling such positions.
Just as a good pitching move"
battles a baseTUnner, so does a good
batting pOise fool a slabman. Heine
GrOh of the Cincinnati Reds is one
big Lacquer who has a trick batting
style all his own.
Other majors face either toward
first or third base, according to
whether they are left or right-hand-
ed hitters, watching the pitcher with
the optic nearest the hUrler. Groh,
however, stands squarely facing the
pitcher, his back toward the grand
stand. Heine stands that way until
the pitcher has completed his
WindUp.
Then, as the arm swings, Heine,
who is a right-handed batter, wheels
into the same position other batters
assume at the start. Occasionally
the Red third sacker varies his tao
tics by jumping around before the !
delivery.

EXTEMES OF
WEATHER

Friday we was visited again by
a snowstorm which gave us three
inches or more. Since then wind
and billiards have been passing
around till they came to climax
Tuesday. While the thermometer
was going up to 40 in Forest City
that day news came over the wires
that there were fourteen trains
stalled by the blizzard in the re-
gion around Brookings, South Da-
kota, some of them being between
stations.
The. storm lasted only about a
day, and since then the weather
has been favorable to the rail
roads. Today (Wed.) the ther-
mometer went up to go and our
streets are running with the melt
ing SHOWS.
