 | CENTER OF CROWD
Mississippi Senator Warmly Greeted Even By Repub-
 lican Hosts
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Chicago June S.-(Special.)-N man attracts more attention at repub- lican convention than a democratic sen ator. So when Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi with his open, ruddy, smiling face broad brimmed hat, and everything, strode into the Congress lobby last night everybody stood up and took notice.
 Many of the delegates from rural communities had never seen a demo- crat of distinction or position. They were particularly anxious to see the Mississippian. Following the lead of newspaper correspondents, they crowd ed about MT. Harrison, and when it was observed that he had neither horns nor hoofs, they displayed sufficient temerity to shake hands with him.
 Just as the senator was explaining, even while in the camp of the enemy, tie justice of the Presidents criticism of the innocuous do-nothing Congress which was adjourned by the steering committee last Saturday, one powerful individual, unmindful of the political significance of the act. and indifferent thereto, forced his way through the tbrongs.
 Why hello, Pat" he exclaimed, gra bbing the senator's hand and wiring
 
 know me- and don't know you. But I like you, just the same, and. like everybody else, am going to call you
 Pat. T"
 The senator was not displeased. After talking aimlessly for moment he looked over the great throng in the lobby and spoke of the apparent lack of confidence the faces of the delegates displayed.
 . Harrison. "The people have seen a re- publican Congress in session for many months. and have noted the manner in which it played politics, and refused, positively, to legislate in the interest of the people. The President was right when he so roundly and scathingly crit iclsed Congress last Saturday,
 As was expected Senator Lodge. the Massachusetts erudite who delivered thc s-approyed keynote address to the convention, differed sharply with ti Mississippi democrat respecting the justice of the Presidents expressed opinion of Congress.
 why" he exclaimed with a curling New England neither lip. that was sim Fly political gesture. The President was playing politics. That was all. If the session of Congress was a failure. the President is responsible. He with fcld cooperation. and exercised when ever it served his purpose. his power of veto. For the failure of Congress, if it failed. see the President

Brandegee of Connecticut, and New of Indiana. all of whom were asked by this correspondent to discuss Congress, the President, or even the political situation. declined.
 New was apparently too busy pre- pairing the platform for the party--and incidentally New is 'standpatter" very dear to the ponderous Penrose- and Borah had bis hands full trying to prove that General Wood and Cover ncr Lowden should be repudiated be- cause of their campaign expenditures.
 On pertinent topics. as a result. they could not be interviewed.

 Coal dealers in Huntsville stated today that there is not more than a tenth Of the normal supply of coal in their yards, as compared with the ample supplies Of other years at this time. This is due to two causes. the congestion of freight traffic and the unusually late spring oh going almost at the maximum until short time ago. With coal selling now at sl2 ton. the dealers declare that they will probably be compelled to put up the price soon instead of giving the usual summer reductions.

MERIDIAN. MISS.

Meridian, Miss, June S.-(SpeciaD.- Following extensive experiments cov- ering a period of several years Prof. N. E. Katz of Meridian has developed a new sulphur extraction process by
 which hundreds of tons of sulphur bearing ores can be treated in each cycle of operation, requiring from
 one to three hours for different ores to complete according to information that is just made public. Since the
 development of the noted chemist, Dr. Herman Trash, of the famous Trash
 process there has not been process produced for extracting sulphur in
 large quantities.
 That a method of extraction has
 been developed that will make the vast
 surface sulphur deposits of the west
 available will be of interest to sulphur consumers, as practically all of the
 sulphur produced in the United States is obtained from the deep sulphur
 beds of Louisiana and Texas, where the Trash process is employed. As 1t is said the Trash process requires ap- proximately 150 times the amount of fuel and water per ton than does the process developed by Professor Katz,
 this new process will develop sulphur IleluS Wnlcn cannot employ the fTdSH ! process due to scant water supply, 1t is claimed.

How to Practice.

For the golf season at hand there is
no question which should receive
more attention from old-timers as
well as beginners. as the question Of
practice. Every player who wants to
increase his golf skill must devote a
certain AMOUNT OF time to practice
and the best Of all kinds is solitary
practice.
For the ambitious golfer who wants
to learn how to control his shots a
certain amount Of solitary practice is
absolutely necessary. The real object
of training is to acquire a settled
form, for the good player is one that
averages high: the veriest dub may be
able at times. playing subjectively. to
make a fine round. Therefore, I par
ticularly advise the player who hopes
to improve to make a great effort to
find few regular hours of solitary
practice during the week
1t Is my theory that the problem be-
fore each golfer Is how to adapt his
individuality to the game In work
ing this out he will necessarily make
many mistakes, and it is best to meet
and conquer them alone The on
locker is likely to judge one too le-
niently. or too severely 1t is easy to
crush beginner by criticism; 1t is
equally easy to smother out any good
game by undue flattery.
For these reasons l advise, after ac-
curing the fundamentals from a pro-
fessional. to spend a little systematic
time In solitary practice, striving to
look at ones game impersonally

During the winter the intentional pass
evil was given much publicity. The
great number of bases on balls which
were given Babe Ruth was the cause of
much of the comment. When the New
York club paid a fabulous price to Bos-
ton for Ruth, it was because of his
hitting ability, his habit of breaking up
ball games with a home run. Many
stories We're printed as to what Ruth
ought to do In the matter of home runs
with short fence in both right and left
field at the Polo Grounds. and seventy
seven games in which to shoot at them.
Then the question was raised that in
all probability Ruth would receive more
passes than ever this year. and the
Yankees and the New York fans would
not receive a real run for their money
because in a pinch the pitcher would
invariably slip Ruth an intentional pass
While realizing the evil of the intentional
pass. and believing that some measure
should be adopted in hope of curbing
it. the rulemakers merely decided as
follows:
THAT when a pitcher is Intentionally
passing a batter, the catcher must not
leave the lines of his position until the
ball has actually left the hands of the
pitcher. and is on the way to the plate

years, it is predicted Golfers gem

during the two years past have been
green and lose their shape and their

be bettered this year, manufacturers
assert, and the balls that are now be-

VIII have even a longer flight and
run than any of their predecessors.
