TO CALL
SPECIAL SESSION
Representative Maddox
Says 1t Would Accom- :,
plish Little

at would be nothing but folly for
the governor to call a special session
OF the Legislature to appropriate
money for financing the farmers and
would have no results" declared
John r. Maddox, representative
from Benson county this morning.
Representative Maddox spent
Tuesday and Wednesday in Fargo,
arriving in the city from Bismarck
where he attended the federal grain
grades hearing. He left this morning
for Jamestown and thence to his
home at Maddox, N. d.
According to the representative,
the counties of the state could take
care of their farmers in making them
loans to purchase seed grain for next
spring. Mr.. Maddox says this has
been done in several counties of the
state but has not been entirely sue
cessful.
He considers the federal reserve
bank of which John III. Rich is the
head one of the big factors in the
northwest for financing the farmers
and believes that this institution
could easily care for the needs of the
North Dakota and northwest farm
ers.
Il think" said Representative
0Ad4uONhs AAAdL "AlAU4A "a
Minot, addressed several letters to
different members Of the last session
OF the state legislature asking them
their opinion on calling a special ses-
sion of the state legislature for this
expressed purpose. 1t is true that
Mr.. Walton's part of the state was
hit hard. by the crop failure last
summer, but / am OF the personal
opinion now that Mr.. Walton has
reached the conclusion that no direct
results could be accomplished in this
line with the present limitation of
bonded Indebtedness for the state"
Mr.. Maddox regretted that he was
unable to attend the federal grain
grades hearing which was held in
Fargo at the auditorium last Satur-
day. Missing this chance, he took
advantage of the one held at Bis
marck.

ALEXANDER TALKS OF
50 CALLED BEAN BAIL
When Batter Moves Up Pitcher
Tries to Protect Himself.

The bean ball, which has been oc-
cupying the attention of the critics.
fans and bali players in general for
the last few weeks and which has been
credited to many of the best pitchers
in the big leagues, has stirred Grover
Cleveland Alexander to an emphatic
denial Of his use of the illegal pitch.
He also sheds some light on the sup
posed use Of the ball in the following
explanations:
"In the first place l want to say that
did not attempt to throw the bean
ball The bean ball is a deliberate
attempt to intimidute batter by pur-
posely hurting fast ball ut his head.
1t is a shady trick and one which |
don't believe any real sportsman would
use.
"On the other hand, every pitcher has
got to protect himself When Il batter
tries to take advantage Of him by NOV
ing up to get pitch before the ball
breaks.
"We pitchers have only one protec-
ton to keep batter from doing this
to us. We have to pitch fast, high and
close In. The batter is expecting
break out to the plate when he moves
forward and wants to get it before
the ball curves across. The only thing
a pitcher can do is to outgucss him
and send it high and in. This either
makes him pop the ball up for n fly Or
duck out Of the way. according to how
close the bali comes to him. Pitchers
Try to force the pop fly. but absolutely
perfect control is impossible. SO some
times the batter has to duck, and duck
quick. Then the pitcher is usually ac-
cuscd Of throwing bean ball.
NO pitcher has perfect control, ami
