Atlanta club Of the Southern AS
ISOLATION, recently discovered .
young ball player he says is a
wonder. Gabby informed Clark
Griffith of his discovery and a
few days ago obtained the young
sters signature to a contract with
the Natiopals. The boys name
is McHughle and he was playing
the outheld for a New Jersey
semi-pro team when Gabby spotted

he can hit most anything that is
tossed up at him, can cover a
world OF territory in the out
field and is remarkably fast on
the bases. II he's as good as

A Question-PIus an Answer.
Dear Sir-Please answer this ques-
tion: Through the season you had
several boosts for Cicotte, Weaver
Jackson, etc. Now you have turned
against them bitterly. In civil life.
if a man commits a sin and asks
for a new start. II is always given
him. If these White Sox ball play
ers admit their repentance and ask
for another trial, would you, or
would you not. advocate that they
be taken back and given another
chance?- r. L.
II those without sin only could
cast the first stone, there would
be no first stone cast. But the case
Of the White Sox players is differ
ent from that of the ordinary Grim
inal. The entire foundation of base
ball Is the supposed honesty OF the
game. If these men were ever
taken back it would mean the de-
struction of the game. They would
never again be trusted, no matter
how honest they were. They nave
forfeited their right TO again wear
the uniform of a clean game. To
advocate their return would be al
most as criminal an act against
clean sport as the original betrayal
of which they were a big part.

ing. The first statement is notable
dlsingenuous. Instead of merely al

no doubt and the encouragement so

existence as state institutions August

had or could have any volition, dis

True, the standing appropriation for the
state normal schools contained in an
other legislative act remains, but af-
ter August 1st, until such time as the
Legislature may restore them, the

Holding Back Sugar.
Greenfield Recorder

The trend of events in the sugar mar
ket indicates that every possible ex-
pedient is being employed to prevent
any further fall in the price of the
staple, but it seems probable that the
hopes of the sugar barons will not be
fulfilled. The tightening of money has
led the banks to call in their sugar
loans, and the hoarders have been com
PEELED to give up a portion of the huge
profits they hoped for and put their
stocks on the market. That they are
selling at a loss need not be credited
for IN instant, despite the claim of the
Revere refinery at Boston that sugar
which they now have in stock stands
them 17h cents a pound. They say.
they will not sell until the market price
returns to % cents a pound, but a fur
Their call in sugar may lead them to

her capacity on board. She took on her
partial load at Sagua, where orders
were received to proceed to Havana to
get the balance of the cargo. When
the ship arrived at Havana, no sugar
was available. The holdup gave every
evidence of having been done with a
purpose.

randolph Herald.


About this time of year those fine
gravel roads that have been the joy of
motorists develop the "washboard''
malady. The wearing effect of the traf-
fic in some way produces small ridges
and hollows extending across the road
way often its entire width, like waves
on the water surface in form. These
grow more pronounced from day to day
until late in the season they resemble
the "kiss-me-quicks' of poor sleigh
ing thrown together as closely as can
be. A small, light car running over
a washbOard road rises and falls much
like a skiff on a rough sea. but the SEN
sation to those aboard differs mater
tally. 1t sure gives one the "shakes.''
After a few miles of it ore s Il tight teeth
are loosened, and ones loose teeth are

heated kind, is bitten off short to save
the tongue from a like fate. The heavy
cars notice it, too, but not so badly.
The only good purpose it serves is to
"jiggle' ones dinner down fast and
produce n early return of appetite for
the next meal. The moisture of snow
and spring thaws seem to take out the
ridges and restore the equilibrium for
the early part of the season, but it APP

What of The Normal schoolsq
(BelloWs Falls Times.)

Citizens generally are deeply inter
ested in knowing something about the
Normal school situation in Vermont.
This paper two weeks ago wrote the
state department of education, offices
located in Montpelier, for a statement
of the present situation and an outline
of future policy. but to date there has
been no reply. From our point of view
it is the duty of the commissioner of
education to keep the people of the
state whose money he is freely spending
fully informed on a vital matter like
the continuing of normal instruction.
Below is a comment from the Ran
dolph Herald, whose editor is a member
of the state board of education. Next
to a statement from the commissioner
of education comes a statement from a
member of the board. Here. is what
was said:
No action was taken i'm the lest
