Roth Houses Vcie to Set Clocks Back
Last Sunday in October

DS1ti IlNuScS NCtf ~ oct SloShS DdCh

pealed by an overwhelming vote in
both houses of Congress yesterday

was 55 to 6, and in the House it
was 233 to 122, five members vot-
ing present.
The repeal, if approved by the
President, will become effective on
the last Sunday in October. At ?
o'clock in the morning of that day

United States, which were moved
forward one hour in April, will be
set back.
Senator La Folleste fathered the
repeal measure in the Senate, By
the vote of 46 to 2 he obtained per-
mission to suspend the rules so as
to make the measure in order as a
rider to the Agricultural Appropria-
ton bill. On final passage, Senators
Calder, Frelinghuysen, Newberry
Page, Phipps and Robinson voted
against repeal.
In sponsoring the repeal amend
ment, Senator La Toilette said that
the law had been passed as a part
of the war time legislation and that
it never had been voted upon by
the people. He said that inasnrucf
as the people of the country hac

DEBT FUND TO COURT
Virginia Commission Will Ask Tri-
hunal to Distribute Money


bunal to Distribute Money
The Virginia Debt Commission is
about to call upon the courts of the
State to make arrangements for the
distribution of the S13,500,000 which
West Virginia has paid over to Vir-
einia as the formers part of the old
Virginia State debt, and which be-
longs in part to Virginia and in part
to Individual creditors.
This action has been found neces-
sary by the Virginia commission, that
the courts might share with it the re-
sponsibility for the proper distrlbu-
ton of the assets. The commission
might have proceeded upon its own
motion and authority 20 make set
tlement but preferred 70 have the
courts assist.
To this end motion has been made
in the Virginia Circuit Court at Rich
mond calling upon the court to as
sumo jurisdiction over the Sl3,o00,-
600 now in the custody of the Debt
Commission, to appoint a master to
pass upon all claims and to arrange
through the commission for the set
tlement Of all proper claims.
West VIRGINIA has paid over the en-
tire amount of the judgment against
her. A total. Of 1,Os7,oO0 in cash has
been handed to: the debt commission
and the remainder, which is in bonds
will be delivered as soon as the securi-
ties can be printed, signed and re-
corded. The transaction has been con-
cltded SO far aus the Two States are
concerned, except the, minor detail OF
delivering; the bonds and taking up
the notes given in place Of the bonds.
When the money finally was paid
over the debt commission found ltseFf
confronted with number OF perpleX'
ing questions, the most important OF
which was the distribution OF the vas'
sum of money. There was mo liked
rule to guide the commission IN bhe
| matter, and that body finally turned
to, the United States, Supreme Court
with formal motion that this tri-
| bunal superintend the distribution
But the Supreme Court declined, OF
the pround that it had no Jurisdic
tion. It contended that the lawsuit be
ween the two States haveing been ad'
indicated and the litigation formally
closed, it was not the part of th'
court to tell Virginia how she mus
distribute the money which came tt
her as a result of the judgment.
Meantime, none of the money il
possession of the debt commission
Will be paid out. In fact the commits
I.sion, it was learned today, is in much
doubt as to the claims of the credi
tors. That body does not know. fo1
example how much of the none!
should go to the State of Virginia it
self and how much to the individual
creditors.

Sunday Ball at
Polo Grounds Nav
Start Next Week

There is some chance that the first
regular Sunday baseball game will be
played at the Polo Grounds next Sun
day The bill permitting local option
in the matter of Sunday baseball was
signed by Governor Smith and it is
now up TO the Board Of Aldermen of tho
City of New York. A poll of the board
shows that there will be no trouble
in the passage of the law to permit
Sunday baseball at the Polo Grounds
and at Ebbets Field.
If the aldermen pass on the measure
before next Sunday the Yankees and
the Athletics will stage the first game
at the Polo Grounds. Later there will
be Sunday games at Ebbets Field. The
final action on the measure means the
schedules of both leagues will be
moved ahead. There will be no in
crease in the number of games. The
tired baseball player will have Mon
day as q day Of rest
The opposition to Sunday baseball in
the Legislature and at the hearing held
by the Governor before he signed the
bill was particularly weak 1t de-
veloped that some Of the strongest op-
ponents of the measure were persons
who did not reside in the state but felt
it their duty to legislate for New York
City. Alderman Moran, president OF
the board, was one of the strongest
advocates of local option in the matter
of Sunday baseball. He is an ardent
fan and has agreed to throw out the
first ball at the regular opening Of the
American League season at the Polo
Grounds Wednesday,

Strong in Pitchers

When Charlie Garden rounded to form

sity that he is ready for regular var
sity assignment en- the Mountaineer
Nine Coach Shelton's big worry was
dissipated. With Latterner already
pitching the fine brand of baseball for
which he is noted, the addition of Car
den gives Shelton two men who can
absolutely be relied upon for regular
turns in the box.
Biz" Dawson, who worked twenty
five innings last year with only two
runs being scored against him, is oc-
cupying berth in the outtield and is,
therefore, ready for instant call. This,
in reality, gives Shelton three depend

Pop Ceers Quits Cigar
For q Briar Pipe

Ed F. Geers. the famous driver, has
changed his system after forty-eight
years as king of the reinsmen. Pop
has thrown away the famous cigar and
ia biting the amber bit of French
briar. He changed on his sixty-eighth
birthday, which came in January.
No explanation goes with the change,
either. Maybe it is because the revenue
tax kept adding up and the price of n
good weed is about what one everyday
pipe would sell for
The big black cigars helped make
both Pop Geers and Barney Oldtield
famous. or course, they just helped.
Fame couldn't repulse either Pop or
Barney, for they just naturally would
monopolize the limelight most of the
time.

By Crantland Rice

Five weeks ago there wasn't as much
interest in baseball as there was in
next years coroners' race in Deadhill,
N. NJ. But within the last two or three
weeks there has been a sudden and re-
markable farcup and to-day the in
the national hurly-burly has ever
known. What is even more to the
point, there is every indication that
1919 will give vent to a we'll balanced,
nip and tuck frolic, with each league
presenting a number Of contenders who
have chance to win.
