Al Last Victory Perches On Baron Camp

Why is it." query many fans, that hitters in the majors start off during the first month or six weeks of every campaign at a terrific clip and then grad ually slip off anywhere from 30 to 25O points?,
 The answer is simple: It takes just about twice as long for pitchers to gauge their twisters as it does for batters to focus their eyes upon the baseball.
 A few weeks in a training camp is about all that is necessary for bats mar, after the winter layoff, to recover his batting vision But that isn't long enough time for the pitcher to get all the kinks out of his arm. A few exceptions are able to start right off in April and fling gilt-eoged baseball But it's June time before the salary wings of most of them are tuned up correctly.
 AS a result, the batsmen do not have an awful lot of trouble through April and May in busting the horsehide to all portions Of the lot. You'H notice in look ing over the hitting averages of most of the clubs through the first six weeks of any penndnt race that the teams as a whole hit from 15 to 45 points beyond the final October mark. That's all because the pitching they face in April and May is "scft." But along in June and July the twiriers begin breaking out with two, three and four-hit games, and the averages shrink quickly to the norma

 The Barons aided in swelling the total errors to Il, securing 10 hits and "a. corresponding number of runs. Um- pire Blackburn acted as target for the entire Birmingham team, who were continually ragging him for his poor s1ecisions. Eddie Mcdonald was put out sof the game in the sixth inning and filmed S for arguing with the umpire from the bench. The umpire's decision however. failed to aid the Vols. as safrey were evidently in no frame of tTrind to accept the game under any scondftions.
 In the second inning Ellis hit one sover the right field fence, but it was ralled a foul by Umpire Blackburn. This was the first object of the ,suuawking on the part of the Barons. Ellis, how ever, singled over second ana advanced to second when Hairston was Init by pitched ball Fisher bunted and all hands were safe when the Vol. rstcher threw wild to first.

Western Mining Industry Today

Mid-year reports of U. S. Geo
logical Survey relative to mining
IN western states confirm reports
made by all mine managers. Since
the signing of the armistice the
industry has passed thru one of
the most trying periods it ever ex-
perienced. Prices for the basic
metals, copper, lead and zinc,
dropped to exceedingly low levels
while wages stayed at war figures
Tor some time before operators
We're finally forced to make reduc-
tions. These reductions lasted
but a few months when operators
raised wages to previous figures
considerably higher than metal
prices justified. The demand for
copper is steadily increasing and
the mines begin to see their way
out but lead and zinc must reach
higher prices before most mines
can operate at a profit. Generally
speaking the labor situation has
been satisfactory as the miners
realized conditions and the oper-
ators have been fair. Evidences
OF labor radicalism have been
manifested in Butte and Coeur d.
Aelene regions but no widespread
trouble has been experienced.
Lack of production in all lines
and the tendency to still further
reduce production by unreason-
able shortening of hours while
still further Increasing wages is
the nightmare of all industry to-
day. This tendency must be
checked or the cost of living will
go to a point which will react in
general cessation of business

Will the Little Town
Always Be Little?

There are in the United States,
in round numbers, about 10000
small towns. Half of them have
population of but 500, or less.
Every small town expects soon
to become a populous, thriving
city. You live or have lived in
one of them. Not one of them
is ready to accept the fate of the
small town, with the idea of max
ing the most of the situation. 1t
may be well for the small towns
to know the following facts:
Just a few little towns grow to
be big and grand. Just very
limited number grow at all. Each
year there are a number of new
towns to compete with the 10000
already in existence. Then every
year there are a number of towns
that give up the ghost entirely.
County seat towns have a better
chance to grow than others, but
even with them two-thirds are
non-progressive or are actually
declining. With other small towns
the probability of growth is even
less.
Therefore-ft is foolish for the
small town to wait until next year
to improve the schools; it is fool
ish for the small town to wait un-
til there are more people, before
it puts in sidewalks; it is fool
hardy for the little town to wait
until next year, when there will
be more probability for taxation,
to put in water system and a
sewer system to safe guard the
health of the people; it shows
poor judgment for the little town
to wait a year or two to plan for
the social and religious life of its
people. The very life of the little
town lies in its doing now what it
has been intending to do tomor-
row. This is the one way to sue
cess.
1t is no disgrace to live in a lit
tie town, but for the people of the
little town, knowing the facts as
above stated, it is a disgrace to
waste year after year, before TAX
ing any steps to make the living
conditions of the children, and all
the rest of the folks, the best pos
sible under the conditions.-B. F.
