 Jimmy Austin is again at third base for the St. Louis Browns, but he has slowed up considerably and may not be able to go the full route. Austin's S pepper, however, is an asset
 Dick HobltzeIl is playing first base for the Akron club, of the Interna- tional League, and seems to have all the old speed that marked his playing as a member of the Red Sox.

 l The big crowd that attended the l opening of the baseball season at Washington showed to what extent interest in the game has expanded in the capital. The town is baseball wild, and if the Senators win ire quently Clark Griffith should have a very successful campaign at the gate, if not on the field.
 Mike McNally, the Red Sox second baseman, continues his fine all round playing. If he keeps up. his present work with the bat he'll soon make the fans forget about the old days when he yielded the feather duster stick
 Larry Gardner is playing his usual fine game at third for the Cleveland Indians. Gardner is one of the great est players in that position the ma jors have today. Next to Buck Weaver, he is the best third sacker ID the American League. l Hrvey Hitler the Red Sox recruit looks like a highly promising in- fielder. It is surprising to note that Ed Barrow is playing him in the out field.

Eastern League Will
 Start Tn Tomorrow
Bridgeport Scheduled to Open In Waterbury But Brass City Magnates May Transfer Game to This
 City at Last Minute

The Eastern league season starts tomorrow but as late as this noon President Clark P. Lane, Jr., of the Bridgeport club had not been able to find out whether the locals will open at Newfeld park on Wednesday as scheduled or will bring Waterbury here tomorrow. The delay in com pleting the stands in Waterbury has caused the uncertainty.
 The schedule calls for Bridgeport to open in Waterbury tomorrow but the Brass City rnagnates promised to let the Bridgeport club know early today whether it would be possible to play in Waterbury. If not the contest wiR take place in this city. Manager Ed Walsh has the Bridgeport players in good condition and they will try tC get a flying start. Marty Walsh may

hurl the first game. Other openings scheduled for tomorrow are: New Haven at Albany; Springfield at Hartford; Pittsfield at Worcester.
 The delay in announcing the scene of Bridgeport's opener is giving Sec retary Jimmy Kelly a fine time It is the intention to have a parade and all the fxings but Jimmy can't en- gage the band or sign up Mayor Vii son to throw the first ball until he finds out what they are going to do in Waterbury.
 The Bridgeport players got a little workout yesterday by beating the
 Al-Stars by 12 to 1. Lennon and Os- trosky did the hurling for Bridgeport and Finn and Cowdes obliged for the
 Stars. About 300 fans saw the con l test.

 NEW YORK GAMES

New York, April 26 - Fifty thousand fans saw the two major league games in New York yester- day. The Yankees, playing against the Athletics, not noted as an attraction, had a patronage of 10000, big under any condi- tions, but noteworthy consider ing that their opponents are not regarded as first division con- tenders.
 At Ebbets Field the attendance was the biggest that playground ever has had. The stands were jammed and the field overhoWing, and the throng was in the close vicinity of 3O,OOO. No indication in sight that baseball is slipping as first in the hearts of the pub- lie. It leads by a large majority

TO THE PATRONS OF Il
COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS

We, the undersigned, have been in
formed that it is being circulated
throughout the county that because Of
the reduction in the public school rate
that the public school terms would be
reduced below that of last scholastic
year.
With justice and fair play to all
concerned, we desire to state that the
thirty per cent rate fixed on the $lOO
for this scholastic year will produce
for the county schools approximately
forty-eight thousand dollars, against
thirty thousand dollars last scholas-
tic year. At an estimate one hundred
teachers in the county schools (this
being the estimate of the county sup
erintendent) at salary of $500
each per month would give a term of
five months for this scholastic year,
and leave something like ten thous-
and dollars to pay on the deficit that
has accrued.
1t was the purpose of the committee
that recommended this rate to the
county court to do so with the view of
not lessening the school term, but to
allow more money to be used this
scholastic year for school purposes,
and to also have enough left to pay
one third on the overdrawn account.

SEVENTY MILLIONS PAID
TO HOLDERS OF BONDS.

The United States Treasury paid
$40, ,000,000 in interest to holders of
Liberty Bonds on November fif-
teenth. The periodical windfall of in
terest money, which comes to mil
lions of people as the result of their
war time savings, was Godsend to
some who have fallen on less pros
porous times. Many man and wo-
man who was out of work received
some of this money and it was like
lifesaver in time of storm. This is
an object lesson on the value of the
saving habit. By the way it is an ex-
cellent idea to put some of this money
in Treasury Savings Stamps or Ger
tificates, which will increase in value
each month and from a growing
emergency fund that will always
come in well in case Of need.
Competent authorities estimate
that the people Of the United States
lose s500,000,000 annually on fake
schemes and fraudulant stocks. Those
who receive interest money from the
Government have good cause to be
thankful that they chose safe in
vestment in the world and let the
fakes and frauds 90 by. The evil of
fraudulent promotion and the sale of
fraudulent stocks and fake schemes
have reached such proportions that
Chambers of Commerce, banks and
leading newspapers are forced to
sound frequent warnings against
these schemes to protect the public
from greater losses.

BRILLIENT CONGRESSMAN
NOMINATED FOR BIG HONOR

President Wilson last Friday nomi-
mated Representative Finis ]. Garrett
of Dresden, Tenn, to be United States
Judge for the Western District Of
Tennessee.
Finis j. Garrett, member of con-
gress from the Ninth Tennessee dis
trict, nominated for Federal judge by
President Wilson, to succeed the late
Judge John E. Mccall, is regarded as
one of the strongest men in the Ten
nessee delegation at Washington. Had
Congressman Claude Kitchen, OF
North Carolina not put forward a
claim to the honor of Democratic
floor leader in the coming congress,
it was thought by many that the hon
or would have gone to Mr.. Garrett, in
view of his great popularity, his ag-
gressiveness and his recognized abil-
ity.
Mr.. Garrett is a native of Weakley
county and As years of age. At the
age of 18 he became the editor of the
Weakley County Democrat. Later he
edited the Mckenzie Herald and still
later served as the principal OF the
Como High School and the High
School at Milan In 1899 he was ad-
mitted to the bar and practised there
after at Dresden. He was elected to
Congress in 1904, defeating Rice A.
Pierce, veteran in the National
House. He has been in Congress since
and has served his state with distinc-
tion. One Of his important assign
ments recently was to the committee
representing the war expenditures Of
the government being the Democratic
representative on the committee.
b The information from Washington
4 is that the Republican majority in the
I senate, in view Of his membership in
the lower house, will not oppose his
confirmation The salary is $4,000 q
/. year. The term is for life,
It does not seem likely that Re-
publican Senate will confirm this ap-
] poiptment by the outgoing Demo-
aFstic President. The plum lis toe
juicy to miss, and the Republicans are
hungry for pie. They have been away
from the pie-counter eight years and
their appetite is voracious. Our es-
teemed felow-townsman, Judge 7
A. Lancaster, who is after this office
stands better chance to get it thar

Congressman Sims is ranking DEM
ocrat on the house committee on com.
merce and has for over two decades
been one of the leading figures in
congress. He is esteemed by both
Republicans and Democrats, and vet
erans of the house declare that his
advice and counsel on public questions
will be sorely missed. The foregoing
statement from Judge Sims is in line
with those made before his defeat
that he intended to return to Tennes-
see when he completed his tenure as
congressman, and in view of that
fact, never purchased property in
Washington, as so many congressman
have done.
