Porch

NEW YORK. Oct. 12-The latest trip
west of Senator Harding has convinced
his managers that he cannot confront
the people and must return to his front

where they were so anxious to get SEN
ator Harding back TO Marion that spec

He is running to cover the cancellation
of his speaking dates is another illustra-

are thrown and their conviction that it
will not do to allow him to 60 before

BOSTON POLICE PARADE.
First General Review Since Strike of
Last Year.

BOSTON, Oct. 12.-Bostons 'finest"
were on parade today. 1t was the first
general review of the police force re-
cruited from the nucleus of few patrol
men who held to their posts when most of
their fellows went on strike a year ago.
They passed before Governor Coolidge
and Mayor Peters. Few of the thousand
odd men who marched wore chevrons of
police service, but on many were medals
for service for distinction in the World
war. The public saw for the first time
the riot squad armed with shot guns and
the machine gun squad with weapons
mounted on automobiles.

NEEDED IN THE SOUTH

The reviewing board should have been
in operation in Dixie several seasons
ago when the hot-tempered Scotty
Chestnut was a full-fledged umpire,
running wild in the afternoons.
Scotty was impetuous to an extreme
and far too hasty in his actions. He has
admitted this on many occasions and
ofttimes regretted his decisions that had
been announced on the spur of the
moment.
1t was a poor day for Chestnut when
less than three players had been elected
from the game He believed in shut
ting off all objections from the con-
tending athletes and plastered his fines
in lavish manner.
1t finally came to pass that Chest
mutt was directed by the president to
be more calm and cautious in his out
bursts. 1t was customary for the league
head to back up his umpires with 100
per cent persistency, but there was even
a limit to this.
"Out of the game" became a popular
phrase. In fact, when highly aroused
it was the only thing that Chestnut
could shout. Otherwise he was deaf
and dumb.

The appointing of a reviewing board

powers of the executive to some extent
but in the end the result should be far
more satisfactory than the present
method.
1t has been customary for Ban B. to
ance and with very little rebuttal or
objection possible. His acts will now
be reviewed, duly considered and then
either modified, accepted or rejected.
In case the board is unable to reach a
definite and satisfactory decision the
matter will be passed along to a Chi
