CROP
POOR, ACCORDING
TOLARRY SUTTON
Scout Declares That Big Scar
city Exists and Youngsters
Needed to Replace Aging
Stars.

NEW YORK. March 25.-The search
tv Of young hall players who may be
depended on to take the places OF many
fast-fading stars Is one OF the most Sc
rious problems confronting major league
club owners today, according to Larry
sutton. veteran Brooklyn scout.
Talented youngsters were never
more scarce than they are this year,
said Sutton today and there is no
indication that the 1920 crop win de-
Yelop many OF exceptional value.
THE discovery Of 'phenom' or two
may be expected. but this type of
player seldom lives up TO expectations.
Young players who have lots Of nat.
ural ability however, are few and far
between, They are simply not being
developed any more.
The Federal league and the world
war dealt baseball some hard knocks
and forced many minor leagues to the
wall. while most Of the youngsters
went ipto the service. The minor
leagueA are just making a new start
but the players they develop will hard
~ be ready for fast company for sew
eral years.
I've been watching the situation for
a long time, and rye seen the problem
grow bigger each year. Why, out OF
202 collegiate and sand lot players
who came up 20 the majors between
1915 and 1918, players | had been
watching, only three made good, That
is mighty discouraging percentage.
Lack Confidence.
"a majority OF the youngsters these
days seem to lack confidence, I've
found this particularly true with col
lege players, though | can offer no
plausible reason for II. They've simply
got 10 start growing good young play
ers all over again, that's all, Otherwise
the class OF baseball In the major
leagues will suffer"
sutton deplored the lack of young
players OF the types represented by
Daubeft. Wheat. Cutshaw, Stengel
Galore, Mccarthy, pfeffer, Hi Myers
and sherry Smith, all OF whom he
brought to Brooklyn from the sand lots
And he asserted that the average base
ball fan would be surprised II he
should be told the real ages of many
players in the game today.
The veteran scout cited tho demand
made by the st. Paul club for the title
To Outfielder Elmer Miller as evidence
Of the high valuation placed on players
today ST. Paul, he declared wants
s12 500 and two players for Miller's re.
lease. Several major league clubs are
after the player.

The Reception

The reception rendered Rev. o. w.
Hearn and family Friday evening at
the Christian church, was very-sat-
isfactory expression Of the esteem in
which Rev. Hearn and his family are
held in this community. The church
was filled to its capacity, many hav-
ing come from Mills, SOlano, Liberty
and other communities to share in the
demonstration.
The program was impromptu but
interesting nevertheless. Readings,
recitations, and music made up the
inteslude. Twenty gallons Of ice
cream and numberless cakes served
from a decorated stand, to all as they
cAi8s for it.and all feasted to reple-
ti6n. Following short session Of
speechtmaking, in which many ex-
pressed their appreciation, respect,
regret and other sentiments inspired
by the breaking up Of the church rela-
tons caused by the going Of the
Hearns to Las Vegas, their future
home.
A substantial purse was subscribed
!, and presented to them as token Of
esteem and the financial obligations
Of the church and community toward
them were fully met.
II should be a source of satisfaction
to both Rev. Hearn and the cOmmun-
ity that the relations existing and ex-
pressed at this affair have contribut-
ed much to the advancement of Roy
in material things as well as in social
and spiritual advancement, and that
his mark has been indellibly left on
this community.
Rev. Hearn and son, Robert, left
Monday with their household goods
loaded on an auto-truck, for Las We
gas. Mrs. Hearn and Lois will go
later when they have the house ready
to occupy. Tom Scott went with
them and drove the truck.

Needs Righting

r. s. Upton, Superintendent o.
schools in 0terO County is out for re
form in the management Of schools
that will get them out Of politics, re
move the limitations now enforced OF
rural schools and other equally nsces
sary reforms.
The pFastical working Of the 80.
called "County Unit" system Of CON.
trailing rural schools is the worst
piece Of legislation ever enacted. Il
has done more to retard the rural
schools than anything that has ever
been done in the name Of reform. II
is an insult to any intelligent rural
school board and a reason for all vii
lagos to incorporate to get from un-
der the curse Of it. It lends itself
readily to political manipulation and
graft. No teacher may be employed
unless she is approved by a political
board at the county seat. No school
board may purchase supplies save
through an agency approved by and
paying commissions to the county
board, and all for the professed pur-
pose Of preventing some few teachers
being employed whose only recon-
mendation is that they are related to
or are favorite Of some school direc-
tor. This happens some times and is
bad but the cure is thousond times
worse than the disease.
1t would be proper for rural
school district to incorporate its
schools and thus get out from under
this liability to tyranny. We do not
charge that all county school boards
use their opportunity to graft or for
political purposes, but, when we find
rural school boards compelled to buy
furniture from certain agents when
they wish to take advantages of bet
ter prices and better goods from some
other agency, it looks suspicious to
say the least.
