GraW's declaration that Davy Robert
son, Giant outfelder, is as great a
ball player as Ty Cobb. if the Giant
star cares to be, was almost the cause
for breaking out American flags and
holding public mass meeting to
send thanks by the citizens Of Eliza
beth City. North Carolina.
Used to Play ut Elizabeth.
Dave used to play on the town
team at Elizabeth City and they have
known for some time down there that
Georgia has nothing on South Caro-
lima in the matter Of sending great
ballplayers to the major leagues.
Dave has been gallivanting around
the Nationel league for some time. He

beats out few intield hits year,
steals base or two, turns in few
fielding sensations each year and calls
it q whole twelve months crammed
into three or four or whatever the
case may be.
Is Tempcramcntal.
Dave Is tempcramental. He is u
sOutherncr with the southerncr's con-
tempt for the nOrtherner's bruSquc
ness. He is Il great ball player and
he knows it fairly we'll. But Dave
wants to be great in his own way.
If he doesn't feel like stretching his
legs in sprint to first base, why it's
nobobdy's business, SO he does as no
plcases.
McGraw Grilling Dave.
McGraw has been griling Robert
son for a long time, using his own
successful way in making great
man Of his potentially great. This
year, according to McGraw, Robert
son is going to step out as the only
real rival of the famous Georgia
Peach in all around ball playing,
Dave has added few promises of his
own and it may be that he will forget
Temperament and try to make them
stick.
Few Crashes Did 1t.
Last year Dave broke into the first
days of the season with a few we'll
timed crashes that placed him at the
head OF the batting list with no trou-
BILE at all. He played like fend. or
Cobb, and he made such furore
that everyone. McGraw included. said
the star had at last begun to shine.
But it was premature praise, for Dave
struck slump, forgot his good reso-
buttons and ended the season with a
batting average of 1907, barely within
the hall of fame.
Now 800 mark isn't to be sneezed
at at any time but Dave is capable
OF more and McGraw is determined
he shall show it this year.

Whereas, the constant changing o
the personnel OF the state board o
education, the resignation of DR.. Sis
son as commissioner OF education
and of DR.. Brannon as president O
the state university, the protests O
the students of the university agains
the alleged arbitrary removal of mem
bers OF the university faculty, and th'

demand the thoughtful consideration
OF this congress and of the parents
and taxpayer OF the state, for THE
sanding and efficiency of our educa
tlonal system cannot be permitted to
suffer from the blight OF politics OF
other sinister motives.
We therefore recommend that the
president OF this congress appoint q
comm. ttee OF seven thoroughly quail
fled men and women TO make a full,
compete and impartial investigation
OF the actions of the state board OF
educat on, the causes which led to
the resignation aforesaid, and of the
charges OF arbitrary and unfair action
on the part of the board or its mem
bers, and that the findings and con-
clusIons of such committee be given
general publicity throughout the
state.
Evidently in full accord with the
comment OF delegate to the effect
that politics in our state are dis
grace, and are becoming a worse
disgrace as they get into education
al matters, the Mothers congress at
their state meeting in Boise Thursday
afternoon voted through, without q

conditions, and disclosure to citizens

That the resolution struck a respons

tiols committee. Before taking vote
ON its passage the convention paused
but a moment for the comment of
