TACTICS
FINDING FAVOR
Rodgers Keeps Sacramento
Players on Toes and the
Fans Approve Plan.

san Francisco, Calf, April 30.-The
Sacramento club Of the Pacific Coast
baseball league, under the leadership
Of manager Bill Rodgers. has jumped
into instant favor with the fans along
the circuit by reason Of the dash and
life they are showing in their play.
For the time being, at least they are
the most popular aggregation in the
league. as they furnish more life and
entertainment during the games TO
the spectators than any Of the other
clubs
Rodgers has imbued his men with
the idea that they must be fighting
every minute and that this may best
be done by constant active physical
participation. The result is that the
men constantly are on their toes Not
the least OF their show OF ginger is
in their vocal demonstrations the
men on the coaching lines keeping up
a constant fire of chatter likely 10
disturb the equanimity Of the Oppos-
ing pitcher and keep their own men
on the alert. These tactics have
proved popular with the crowds who
often are forced to sit through many
listless, lifeless games

NEW YORK. April 30.-With the

being harangued at St Paul-every-
thing seemingly in line for the bout
one day and serious objections the
next-it seems doubtful If the title
bout is to be held at all Even IL It
is held in st. Paul. the thing has then
degenerated TO a ten round affair.
which would be nothing more than
a joke and a plan 10 separate the
fans from their money. The fact
that promoter Miller turned down a

round bouts are permitted. gives ap-

that he would not follow the prece-

that they VIII not permit Champion

means certain that at the last moment
there VIII not be such an cutlery

Sentiment in various sections
Of the country seems 10 be
against holding the match at this
time Papers In several cities are
taking q vote on the question or
whether the men should fight here
in ring or IN trench IN France
The vote is overwhelmingly IN
favor OF the latter proposition.

Resigns as Assistant District
Attorney 70 Join Army.

The following from the Greenwood
Index of Friday shows that Col. S.
B. Mays will soon have another son
serving his country:
"Mr. Calhoun A. Mays, assistant
United States DISTRICT Attorney, has
rendered his resignation to that office
and will enter the military service.
Mr.. Mays is now engaged in winding
up his business affairs and hopes to
be ready to enter service by July 1.
He has made application to enter the
Field Artillery but does not know
whether he will be accepted in this
branch of the service or not.
Closes Up Firm.
Mr.. Mays decision means that for
the period of the war his law firm
will cease to exist. Capt. Henry G.
Tillman, senior member Of the firm
has been in service for over year
as a captain in the Coast Artillery.
For some time Mr.. Mays has conduct
ed the business alone. For time he
had the assistance of Mr.. J. T. Mar
shall, as law clerk, but Mr.. Marshall
left some time ago and also entered
service.
"Mr. Mays decision will mean that
the firm will no longer have anyone
to look after business and it will be
dormant for the period of the war at
any rate. Arrangements will be made
to protect the business of clients now
with the firm.
"The resignation of Mr.. Mays will
likely mean that the second assistant
attorney, Mr.. C. C. Wyche, of Spar
tanburg, will be promoted to first
place and there will probably be no
further appointment"

Flag Etiquette.

At the June meeting of the D. A.
4. when Flag Day was observed,
Miss Annie Clisby gave what college
girls would call a "quiz" in regard to
the proper treatment of the flag. The
ladies found so much in these regu-
lations prepared by the National Com
mittee of Patriotic Societies, Wash
ington, D. C. that Miss Clisby was
requested to give them to the Edge
field papers for publication.
Es&"When the colors are passing, the
spectator, if a man, should halt if
walking, arise if sitting and uncov-
er, holding the headdress opposite the
left shoulder with the right hand. A.
woman should stand at attention as
the flag passes by.
When the flag is waving from a
stationary flagstaff or pole it is not
Esaluted with the hand.
In decorating, the flag should nev-
er5 be festooned or draped. Always
ti5llssng fiat. If hung with the stripes
, fis4ntal union shos1Id be upper
5seft corner. If hung perpendieularly,
union should be in upper right cor
ner.
When the flag is carried in parade,
or when crossed with other flags, the
Stars and Stripes should always be
at the right.
The law specifically forbids the
use of and presentation of the flag
in any manner or in any connection
with merchandise for sale.
The flag should be raised at sun
rise and lowered at sunset. 1t should
not be displayed on stormy days or,
except under fire of the enemy, left
out over night. Although there is no
authoritative ruling which compels
civilians to lower the flag at sunset,
good taste should impel them to fol-
low the traditions of the army and
navy in this sundown ceremonial.
Primarily the flag is raised to be seen
and secondarily, the flag is something
to be guarded, treasured, and so ira
dition holds it shall not be menaced
/ by the darkness. To leave the flag
out at night, unattended, is proof OF
shiftlessness, or at least carelessness.
On memorial day the flag should
be displayed at half-mast from sun
rise until noon, and at the peak from
noon until sunset. 1t should, on being
retired, never be allowed to touch
the ground.
When the "Star Spangled Banner"
is played or sung, uncover, stand
and remain standing, in silence, un-
til it is finished.
Applause at the conclusion of the
"Star Spangled Banner" is out OF
place.
Worn out and useless flags should
be destroyed by burning.
A flag torn and frayed by the
wind and weather should never again
be hoisted until it has been repaired.
This is a regulation of both the army
and navy and should also be follow
ed by all civilians.
