EVERS MAY
BECOME CHICK PILOT
Managership of Memphis
Club Lies Between Lee
Foil and Evers

Memphis, November 20.-(Special) y
Finding manager for the 1920 Chicks
is proving more difficult than Presi-
| dent Tom Watkins of the Memphis
club had anticipated. Although he has
| bale of applications. he has not yet
been able to decide upon and come to
terms with the man he wants for the
approaching baseball campaign.
| At the present time Johnny Evers,
former National League second base
| man, and Lee Foil, eX-manager of the
Cleveland Indians, are being consid-
| cred seriously by President watkins.
| OF this pair the Chick manager leans
toward Evers, who would be more on
the order of Kid Eberfeld than any
body else in the league, and who would
| undoubtedly prove very capable man
ager
Evers is at present said to be dick
ering with President Barney Dreyfuss
of the Pittsburg Pirates, relative to
securing the managerial reins of the
Buccaneers, Hugo Bezdek having re-
signed. Evers expects to find where
he Is "at" within the ensuing few DAYS
and be able to give President Watkins
a definite answer relative to the man
agership of the Chicks
The Chick president has been sweet
on George Moriarty. former Tribe med
icine man, and at present an umpire
in tho American League, for the 1920
position, but Moriarty has not warmed
up to the proposition as the local head
had hoped.
Moriarty still has memories of a
lingering illness of typhoid fever in a
Memphis hospital and still harbors the
opinion that the Bluff City is fairly
seething with malarial germs. And at
the same time George is making tidy
stipend as an American League umpire.
and as he is making both ends meet
quite satisfactorily. he is hardly clam
orins for change. George is quite a
poet and his verse appears in several
papers throughout the country, so he
decided to remain where he was and
pass up another session in Dixie
Johnny Evers is well qualified TO
manage the Chicks or any other ball
club, for he Is veteran of many years,
experience on the diamond, knows the
game from soup to nuts and is fairly
sizzling with pep, ginger and fight.
which has long been one OF the ingre-
dents the Chicks have been shy on.
Evers is in the baseball hall of fame
as one of the famous double play trio
Tinker-to Evers- to Chance Joe Tinker
and Frank Leroy Chance being the
other pair.
At present Evers has no connection
with any cub. He has retired from
active participation in the game. but
has been busy for the past several
months trying to hang on somewhere
as a manager. When he learned that
Hugo Bezdek could not be retained 8
manager of the Corsairs, he went after
that plum, but as yet has not been
awarded 1T. In case he fails to land.
he'll likely jump at the neat PROPOSE
ton Tom Watkins has offered him. al
though it is quite a jump from the
Pittsburg Pirates to the Memphis
Chicks.

BESSEMER TO PLAY
JEFFERSON TODAY
Tigers Are FavOrites, Al
though County Boys Have
Very Good Chance

In what is expected by many to be
one of the hardest games of the sea-
son. the Bessemer Tigers will meet
the jefferson County eleven today
This game may have a definite bear
ing on the state prep championship as
Bessemer has not lost a single game
this season
Coach Clemens has been driving his
team hard for this game and the JEFF
ferson eleven is now in almost perfect
condition. The team is considerably
stronger now than it was at the first
of the season, and is expected to give
Bessemer an awful Eight this after
noon. The jefferson County team re-
Gently defeated the strong Admission
Pred aggrega ton by the decisive score
of "a to 0. That game caused quite a
furry among the local prep enthusi-
asts. and county stock has risen quite
a bit as result of that battle.
Coach Red Harris has likewise been
working hard for the game. He is
taking no chances on the strength of
. the county boys and will send his team
into battle in full strength this after
noon.
Sweet, the husky right tackle, is
still on the sick list, and 1T is not yet
known whether he will be able to play
this Afternoon, but if he is not Coach
Harris has some good, manipulating
subs to take his place. The rest of
the team is in fair condition and will
go into battle today determined to keep
their slate clean from a single defeat.
This is the last game that Bessemer
will play before the Central contest,
which will probably be the hardest on
BeSsemer's schedule. The game today
will be played on the rolling mills
field and will begin about $3.50. The
following are the probable line-ups:
Line-ups:
Bessemer-Grigsby. center; Nolan,
left guard; Thomas. left tackle; Baum
gardner, left end; Salters right guard

This had continued Tor nearly all Of

That player told his own captain, who

HOWARD PLAYS THE
HAMILTON AGG|ES
ON CAMPUS TODAY
General Backfield Shake-Up
May Take Place-McLane
Back in Lineup

The Howard Bulldogs VIII go into bat
tie against the Hamilton Aggies today
in a more or less shaken up condition.
The absence of varsity backfield men ne
cessitated a change in this department
of the game. Acton, one of the best
ground gamers on the Bulldog team, has
been out of the lineup for some time, and
cessfuly.
McLane, who has been out of the line
up for the last month on account of in
Jury, is back in shape, and will prob
ably be called upon to show what he
can do at right haifback Friday. He
is the best man on the squad at making
interference, which is notably lacking
in the green Bulldog machine. Besides,
he is hard driving line plunger, and
strong defensive man. Only injury has
prevented his being regular man in the
back field since the middle of the season.
Price and Carr are two good fullbacks,
and it is not improbable that one of them
will be given a chance to show what he
can do at nalfback in the game Friday.
Another possibility is the shift of the
elusive Walker from quarter to half
with Robinson, the midget quarter, TAX
ing Walkers place. Robinson, in spite
of his size, is valuable man to the team
He has good head is fast and shifty
and is one of the best men on the team
in tackling, blocking and running inter
ference.
Lambert, a 1ss-pound guard, has been
showing up exceptionally well with the
Bulldogs lately, and it is possible that
Coach Dillon win give him a chance IN
today's game. Lambert is big, powerful
and aggressive. On the whole the Bull
dogs are in excellent shape.
The Aggies have shown WONDERFUL I'M
provement over their work of the first
of the season. Only four of the men who
played against Birniinghamreouth
are still in the lineup. The Bulldogs
will not have an easy time with their OPP
ponents this afternoon.
This is the only game of the year &c
be played on the Howard campua The

Preds and Five Points
Tigers Battle to Draw

A most enjoyable game was to be seen
yesterday afternoon on the Lakeview
field. when Independent Presbyterian
Community eleven played the Five Points
Tigers to a and tie. The two teams
were very evenly matched in weight and
from all appearances in ability also.
Neither side was able TO force across
a tally. although the Preds had two OPP
portunities to score. Twice they had the
ball on the Tigers one-yard line, but
each time were held for downs. and Simp'
son booted the ball out of danger fer the
Tigers.
Neither side was able to make much
Roadway through the opposing line. al
though the Preds began to gain consis-
tently in the last quarter. However
the splendid rally of the Tigers on their
one-yard line saved them from derear
STREET featured for the Preds by his ter
rife line plunging. Simpson was the
best ground gamer for the Tigers.

Trickery Often Used By

Lafayette Players Accused of Using Brass

BY JAMES j. coRBErT

Charges Of trickery on a football field
sometimes vie with those that have to do
with the prize ring.
Just few weeks ago Lafayette college
clashed with Haverford. During the
progress of the game quite a few Haver-

Catholic teams made complaint concern

NOW FOR ROAD BuILprNc
by WALTER c. WHITE


The release Of labor and material
incident to the demobilization of our
grmy and the slowing down of the
manufacture OF war supplies, offers
golden opportunity for a program
VI road building more extensive
than any In which the country has
ever engaged. Not only must we
make good the neglect which our
roads have suffered during the per-
ioI when road construction has been
officially frowned upon, but we must
SO further and b ing our entire sys-
ten up TO the andard Of the '7r-
famed roads of france.
While we often hear of the tre-
mendous part played in the war by
the Motor Transport, we are apt to
forget that this part was made pos
sible only because France has a
splendid system of roads--not simply
good road here and a good road
there, but a network of fine high
wsys connecting almost every town
and village in the country. Useful
WAS this system before the war;
during the war it proved the saliva
ton of France; and now that the
last shots have been fired, the roads
may justly be termed one of the
country's assets in the work of re-
Mobilization.
During my recent mission in
France, as l travelled hour after
hour over roads which were main
tanned in perfect condition almost
UP to the front line trenches,
coald not help but compare what
l ance was doing even in the midst
OF war, to the almost scandalous in
difference which our country, in
time of peace as in time of war,
L s shown toward the road question.
j cannot help but feel that all of our
France will demand that our roads
BIZ brot up to the French standard.
Let us anticipate that demand.
Lei every township, every county,
every state, let our national govern
laent, begin to plan this very day to
build roads adapted to the traffic of
today and tomorrow. | need not
argue the economic questions involv-
ed. That good roads soon pay for
themselves many times over is
known to every community which
has made investments in this direc-
ton.

The world. Let us now turn some
of our energies, released from war
TO the task of making our highways
safe and practicable for internal
commerce.

HENfPHILL.

A. NJ. Hemphill, a well known cit
lien of this place, died January 8 at
hospital in Lexington, from paraly-
sis. The remains were shipped here
Friday and the interment took place
Saturday afternoon in the Barbour
vile cemetery, following the funer-
al services at the Baptist Church.
Mr. Hemphill had been in bad
health for several years and more
than two years ago was sent to Lex
ington for treatment, but owing to
his advanced age little could be
done, and the end, while expected,
was shock to the community.
He was widely known thruout the
county having been tax collector and
deputy sheriff for more than twenty
years, and his friends over the
county will regret to learn of his de-
mise. He was a member of the Bap-
fist Church and the Masonic Frater-
nifty of long standing forty-five
years-and a firm believer in the
tenets of both. A more ardent mem
Der and regular attendant to his du-
ties in these organizations could not
be found. He was buried with ma
sonic honors.
He was born January list, 1S47,
on Brush Creek, this county, and at
the time of his death was seventy
two years and seven days old. On
August II, 1870, he was married TO
America Ellen Hembree and to this
union was born seven sons and three
daughters. Besides his wife he is
survived by one brother and one sis
ter, Robt. T. Hemphill, of Williams
burg, Ky, and Mrs. A. W. Davis, OF
Oklahoma. Seven children, five sons
and two daughters, also survive iifEf:

SAVINGS STILL NEEDED

SECRETARY of the Treasury Carter
Glass. in the first detailed statement
issued by him since he succeeded w.
G.. McAdoo, outlined plans for Gov
eminent financing in the near future.
He Warned against relaxation and
seIf-satisfaction, pointing out that
the war job is not yet completed and
that the American people must con-
tinue3to save and lend their savings
to the Government.
Thb statement, in part, is as fol-
lows:
"Iif the eighteen months Of the
war American people subscribed for
s1S,0p0, 100000 of Liberty Bends
and War Savings Certificates.
Secretary McAdoo has estimat-
ed That the cash outgo from the
treasury during the current fiscal
year, sading June 80, 1919, will
lsmouIst TO s1S,OOO,OOO,OOO, and
much more than half of that
EamoS &hRs alsesdg !. hesns expend=
ed in the five and one-half months
which have elapsed.
THE treasury must issue another
large loan before the end of the ifs
cal year, and ! am entirely in accord
with the policy already outlined that
the loan should-take the form of
bonds of short maturities.
1T is vitality important that the
treasury should continue in a most
energetic way the sale of War Saw
ings Stamps and Certificates.
Millions of our people have be-
come holders of bonds of their Gov
eminent, but some of them seem to
feel that they are under no further
obligation TO retain these bonds and
they ere selling them and using the
money for unnecessary purposes or
exchanging them for other securities
of doubtful value. So loue as the
United States needs to sell bonds
those who hold the present issues
should not dispose of them except
under the spur of urgent necessity.
They have invested in the best Sc
curity in the world, and it is both to
their own interest and 10 that of
their Government that these secur-
tiles be retained.
There is no doubt that there is
throughout the country a feeling of
Misunderstanding of self-satisfdc-
tion that the work already is per-
formed and a strong and not I'M
IoSsCnsM9 call td take up once
more individual and business inter

tons which have given their time
to the sale of bonds were prepared
for the task which would have con-
fronted them if the war had con-
tinued throughout the year 1919
or longer, and | am confident that
despite these handicaps they will
not now relax their efforts and
leave the task unfinished. Victory
has come to us earlier than we
might reasonably have expected,
but victory will not cause us to
neglect the completion of that
work which made victory possible "
