To Land Big Tarpon Now
Harding's Chief Ambition

POINT ISABEL, Texas, Nov. g.
Throwing aside the restraints of public
life President-eiect Warren G. Harding
got into soft shirt and baggy trousers
today and went out into the bay to fish
for tarpon. His chief ambition on the
trip is to land one of the monster fish,
a feat said to be the height OF every
anglers desire down here.
This afternoon Harding expected to
motor over to the Brownsville Country
Club for golf. The Harding party
shifted as best it could last night, as
the one train running from Brownsville,
jumped the track with all the baggage
aboard. There was much clamor, but all
was in vain as nobody around would do
anything until daylight.
There is great hustle and stir in this
normally sleepy little fishing valley. No
quainter spot could have been chosen by
Harding as a retreat than this struggling
little place with its low, weather-stained
shacks on the bare sandy pol1t here at
the southern extremity Of Texas, just six
miles from the Mexican border
Senator and Mrs. Harding are quar-.
tered in the roomy summer cottage OF

It is a matter Of pride to the British
Army that 1t held Ypres through all the
attacks made upon 1t, and in Belgium
that is the natural choice for a memoir

There were so many place in France
that the British Army made famous by
its courage that it would he difficult to

it is more than likely that Paris will
be selected as the most suitable place

In the struggle. I am certain that this
will be, done and the scene Of the last
great-and victorious-effort against the

do not doubt that a majority of the
minor league owners will-or would
kAve been-willing to cooperate with the
major leagues in any move that would
benefit baseball, but as things stand to-
day the minors must take the standpoint
Of spectators, and meanwhile do the best
they can to better condition in their
own ranks. Insofar as the visit of ma
tor league committees here today goes,
the attitude OF the minors will depend
altogether on what they have to present
We are looking for no alliance In which
We will not have an equal footing with
the majors. This is only fair and all
that any one could expect"
The minors went into session here this
morning with a young crow to pick
among themselves. Politics is the. father
OF the crow. The contest is between John
A. Farrell. for years secretary and treas
urer of the National Associa ton, and
Mike Sexton, president u the minor
league body. Sexton will be put up for
president, secretary and treasurer by one
faction. Farrell's friends win attempt 10
keep him in office.
Aside from the election Of officers and
discussion Of plans for the coming sea-

investigation is doubtful, unless between
now and the time the request is made,
should 1t be made, some action is taken
by the commission for obtaining funds,
through license fees or otherwise, to con-
duct such an investigation.
BLAME LAID TO
LEGISLATURE.
The blame for the tied hands of the
commission is not being laid at the
door of the commission, but rather is
being placed at the feet of the Legisla-
ture. Those who are questioning the
motives Of the act are wondering why,
when the bill was passed, the General
Assembly did not provide for some means
to gather funds for conducting an in
it did not make a specific appropriation
for the use of the commission for its in
vestigatipn of both coal and food condi-
tons in the State.
The period Of operation Of the special
coal and food commission expires March
l. 1921, when, unless the regular session
Of the Legislature prolongs it, 1t VIII
pass out of existence.
With colder weather practically here,
and with the coal situation becoming
more and more serious daily, it is rea-
sonable to presume that no time will
be left to the commission to investigate
any proftes'ring in food, as the time and
personnel OF the commission is now oc-
cupied entirely in investigation of the
coal situation.
