 PITCHER PREDICTIONS ! With sunny weather predicted, we will now proceed to use the Ouija Tor fleeting instant in naming the pitchers that MT. Kaufman will pit against the coal beavers of the Barona1 stronghold It is our opinion that John Suggs, the handsome portsided finger of the . Cracker roster, will be sent in to halt the triumphant march of the chubby chieftain's cohorts in the first encounter, and that Joe Thorburn, the lad of the hitless grin and packing his runless dis position, will do the hero's turn in tEe second act of the captivating plot. Of the pitchers, Carlton Molesworth | will send to the hilock we cannot give vent to any surmise. MT. Gallagher, the pet of the Miners, is certain to be party to one of the transactions, but the presiding genius of the Birmingham clan will go no further with the precious t1- formation.
 GALLAGHER o. K.
 This Mr. Gallagher, we are told by the self-asserting records, is one of the steadiest of the paStimerS in the circuit. It might be that he will turn the trick we regard just now as impossible. As much as we admire the aggregation or apple orchard employees Boss Moley has assembled to represent Slagtown in he 1920 canter, we can't concede them an- other battle, unless Mr. Molesworth gets peeved and sends his Morrison to the hill
 Of this Morrison we nate read little, but we have seen lots. His act in tanning the Crackers Sunday after the Frankmen had routed the mighty Glazner with widely assorted variety of base hits, Is feat that will always be classed as mighty by the fans who witnessed the heart
 breaking. rcsounding smash of the Att lanta club. We hope that Moiey will save Morrison for another game-with ular with the Atlanta fans, and, anyway. his curve breaks too much.
 MORE BANQUETS
 While the gentlemen from Alabama Ire ir our midst it behooves the fans who love to gaze upon pennant contenders to journey to Poncey and glimpse the wis., itors in action. Moley's players aren't ky-especially. They have the right to base their feat of ten consecutive w;ns on something other than the breaks of the game and for our part we're per fectly wiling to concede Birmingham great club. There are some weak hit ters toward the bottom end of the bat ting order but three fingers will count them all, and the others pack envelops hard enough to make the team very un- p,,pular in these parts

STILL DRAGGING FOR BODY OF
 MRS. BLANCHE ". WHITNEY

Langdon, N. H., Nov. 17.-A piece of what was apparently a woman's shoe and mans glove were discovered today in the refuse that county authorities, search ing for the body of Mrs Blanche w. Whitney, drew from another abandoned well on the Whitney farm. Sons of Will liam B. Whitney have told the authori- ties that their father killed their step mother four years ago and disposed of the body in wei lon the property.
 The officials returned to the Whitney houst late this afternoon after their ex- cavations on nearby abandoned farm ha dbeen without result, and turned their attention to an old well half choked with debris. located not far from that in which one of Whitney's sons first told them to dig. In addition to the two bits of leather they took out a quantity of stone, ashes and barnyard refuse, in- cluding cattle bones. The digging will continue tomorrow.
 When the authorities had stopped work for the day they announced that il their search in this well should also be
 without result. they were prepared to a& caYate another well, located just beail6 the Whitney house. This, they said hat not been been used in years because tht ! water had ben found unfit for drinline purposes. They said that they necessary they would sound every well in the neigh l borhood of the Whitney farm and would search the grounds and buildings on sev eral pieces of propertyl owned by Whit neY

WashinEtons Nov. 17.-(By The A. P.) -Realtions between the Western Union IeaeSraph Company and the state depart ment already strained to the point of open rupture, reached a stage today where the, government was understood tu be considering seriously revocation of landing permits under which the com panys existing cables are operated.
 TEe power of the executive branch of the government to take such a drastic step has never been established in the courts,. but a yelled ,intimation of the purpose to bring it to an issue was con ta1ned' Tn formal statement on the con- troversy given out today by the state de- partmeht
 After announcing the refusal of the company to handle government cable messages except upon pre- payment or to carry messages originating outside of the United States at reduced government rates, the statement said it had been the uniform policy of the government to al. low the landing of cables only on condi. ! tion that the United States should be en. l titled to enjoy the same privileges witt regard to the control and use of sucf
 lines as were exercised by foreign gov ernments.
 It was obvious, the statement added l that the United States could not be ex 1 pected to allow the Western Union com
