main during the summer. The eli
mate does not agree with them here
during the summer. | will remain
with the Combahee Company.
| have not seen any ice or snow this

acres peanuts, about 500 acres of corn,
about 80 acres of cotton, cabbage and
lettuce each, 100 acres of onions, Gu
cumbers, cantaloupes and water mel
ons, 200 acres of rice.
This is some farm, Chief. About
1900 acres in all. Our stock consists
81 300 head of cattle, 500 hogs, all
blooded stock. Some Of the stock
hogs. cost $500 each.
All of our blowing and narrowing is
done by tractors. We have nine on
the plantation, also 80 mules. Then
we have 300 negroes, men, women and
children. All work in the fields.
We have u telephone system, cleo
trio lights, artesian wells and railroad
tracks and locomotives. Two mud
dredgers are building eve miles Of
oank around the rice fields. The bank
IS 10 feet across the base, 4 feet wide
On top and from 6 to IA feet high. IF
he development Of the low lands is a
success, it will mean a wonderful de-
velopment to the Southern States.
There are millions of acres along the
coast, now going to waste, which will
be made prosperous. 1t is claimed
these meadows will grow anything.
Common vegetation which grows as
high as your knees in New Jersey,
grows as nigh as your head when on

CHEVY CHASEPLANS

With Only Ranking Rack

BY w. n, HOTTEL.

The Chevy Chase Club spring tour

year.

the club. Walter !. Dunlop. chairman;
y. Ballard Moore. Spencer Gordon,
Walter Wilcox. Arthur HELEN and Ed.
ward Dom, jr., is working to that
end and only awaits the sanction OF
with pretentious plans.
The idea OF the committee Is to have
short spring tourney. but a sweet
one" 1t is planned to gather an ar
eastern section for tourney OF three
days duration-Thursday. Friday and
Saturday-around the middle of May
According to present plans as outlined
by Chairman Dunlop there would be
only two events. mons singles and
doubles. and these would be strictly
invitation. only the top-notch local
players. Connie Doyle. Henry Breck
and possibly one or two more, being
included.

competitions, in which Connie Doyle
in the singles and he and Rol Doyle
in the doubles usually have been final.

times have carried off the titular hon.
ors.
Although Rol Doyle, according to his
way of looking at 1t, has matriculated
into the golf sphere, Connie apparent
ly stin Is as good as ever with the
racket. and II Henry Breck remains
in Washington, as it il hoped that he
will do. they will form q doubles team
that will be hard for any pair in the
country to beat.

the board Of governors Of Chevy Chase

winner" Those two questions
are fired at me more often than all
other questions combined. With base
bail fans the country over Mack still
remains big man. despite repeated
failures. They all seem to take his
reyerses to heart as much as he does.
They are pulling for him to get to-
gether = club that will win back some
of the glory that once seemed a part
of the house Of Mack.
I have always been a great admirer
OF Mack, because he had the courage
of his convictions. When he broke up
his star club. he bit on q big piece.
move, but Connie had the courage to
do what he thought best. Few other
managers would have done SO. Last
summer q little incident came up that
streng thened my admiration for Mack.
1t was just after the Carl Mays case
had upset base ball. On Mack's club
was Scott Perry. a great pitcher. Chi
cago needed a pitcher: The White
Sox offered $4,000 and q couple of
players. 1t probably would have been
a good deal for Mack. He had good
reasons. no doubt, for refusing. OF
course, Perry wanted to be traded to
Chicago. That was only natural. 1t
looked like the world series for the
Chicago club. Perhaps to bring about
the deal. Perry adopted the attitude
of Mays-he left the club as it started
for the west. I jumped west with
the Philadelphia club. At the station
talked with Connie, asked him what
he intended to do. His reply was
characteristic Of the man.
"1t, would be a good trade for me.
I am refusing a lot of money and
some good players, but there are GER
tain principles involved. that must be
upheld, hence refuse to give the deal
a thought. Perry can do all the wor-
rying."
That was the end Of the deal. Perry
finished the season in the Independent
ranks.

GIANTS To GET HORNSBY
Rumor Says Hickey to Be Over
ruled at Coming Chicago
Meeting. =

When Branch Hickey stepped down
from prestdent-manager to manager
Of the Cardinals a few weeks ago it
was still generally thought he re-
tanned full say-so on any action taken
by the st. Louis club. But now they're
telling story around the stove league
circles that Branch isn't to have full
At least, he isn't going to have his
own way about Rogers Hornsby, the
story goes.
The latest tip is out that Rogers
Hornsby will be sold to the Giants at
the big base ball meeting in Chicago
next week. It Is said the Cards will
take probably four players and some
cash in exchange.
Hickey has declared all along that
Hornsby would not be sold. He said
the club kept Hornsby when-noney
was badly needed and now that the
club shoYad earnings for 1919 it GER
tainly wouldn't entertain any idea Of.
letting the crack infielder go.
But other base ball men do not
agree with Hickey. Some of The best
heads in the game declare they would
let Hornsby go II they could get sew
eral good players in exchange for
him.
The Yankees got Ruth and the
Giants have to do something to make
themselves solid with the fans of New
York. Hornsby is the man they want.
Ruth is without doubt the greatest
drawing card in the game today. He
will draw more fans through the turn
stiles than Ty Cobb or Walter John
son ever attracted. But Hornsby isn't
such a fashy player despite the fact
he is a wonderful fielding star and a
corking good hitter.

DUNCAN NOW THANKFUL
FOR GIANTS ROASTING

Pat Duncan. the Reds ebullient lit

his home at jackson. Ohio. Pat will
be rendered 4 large bachelor dinner
shortly. and will then acquire a new
manager, who will hold him to strict
er hours and a closer accounting than
Pat Moran has ever exacted from him.
"One man I am anxious to shake
hands with as soon as possible" said
Pat. "is John McGraw. I was good
and sore at him last summer-he had
his birds riding me till I went over
to their dugout and invited them to
come and fight. Afterward. I learned
that John did it to help me along.
He figured that II could get accus-

STUFFY McINNIS FAVORS
ALL FREAK DELIVERIES

Freak deliveries should not be
barred in base ball, says John ''Stuffy"
Mcinnis. Red Sox first baseman. '.If
the freak pitching is thrown out some Of
the best pitchers in the major leagues
will have TO go and the game would suf-
fer greatly" remarks StufTy.
There are too many pitchers depend
ing on freak pitching for their liveli-
hood. and should the Joint league meet
ing decide against them. such pitchers
as Coveleskie of Cleveland. Eddie Cicotte
CT the White Sox. Howard Ehmke Of
Detroit and several others are going to
suffer.
American League players are not
against fresk pitching. They are per-
fcctiy willing to go along as they have
been The game has been as good az it
ever Was with the spit ball and other
deliveries. and there is no reason why it
cannot continue.
with al! the freak pitching in the
American League last season Ruth es-
tablished nome run record. He hit
spit ball pitching as we'll as knuckle ball
shoots, and the famous shine ball did
I OF trouble him, either.
IF the leagues want freak pitching to
be dropped out Of the major leagues. the
players can get along without it, but it
is going to ha handicap some great twirlers
should it be discarded
