fBy the Associated Press,

Little Rock, May IA difference of opinion has arisen between Gov ernor McRae and the penitentiary board over the interpretation of the parole law.
 Early in the week, the board grant ed a parole to Tom Addison of Cle- purne county, who was serving a sen- tence of one year for participation in draft resistance during the war. The governor was not consulted about the matter, the board having acted, as it claims, under the provisions of the act of 1907, which provides that upon the expiration of one-thrd of con- vlct's term, parole may be granted if the convict has good record.
 Yesterday the governor received from the Saxton- Willis Post No. GA, American Legion, at Heber Springs, of which c. c. Mccullough is post commander, resolutions vigorously protesting against the parole The resolutions charge that Adkisson was "the leader, alder and abetter of his stacker sons and other outlaws in armed resistance against constituted authority, same resistance resulting in the death of Porter Hazlewood a member of the sheriff's possee."
 Governor Brough was importuned to ggrant clemency but refused to do so and the resolutions declare that the boards action came "as a distinct surprise, shock and affront to the good people of Cleburne county"
 After consultation with Attorney General Utley, Governor McRae mo- tified Sheriff Emmitt Baldridge of Cleburne county to return Adkisson forthwith to the penitentiary. The governor holds that the penitentiary board has no authority to parole a prisoner without the governors con- sent; that it is a wrong practice which has been pursued for years and that he will not longer countenance it. He further holds that the parole, which must be approved by him, is invalid because it was no recommended by the prosecuting attorney.

(By the Associated Press)

Chicago, May 14-Make way for George Sisler! That is the warning given the leading batters of the Am erican League by the averages of the past week, including games of We'd nesday, for the young first baseman of the St. Louis Browns stepped into q slugging streak which will soon carry him to the top of the list if it is continued.
 Harry Heilman of Detroit leads the league on figures released today with the sensational figure of .521, but Sis Ter sent out thirteen safe hits in six games during the past week and climbed from thirty-fifth place to sev- enteenth position. The champion bat ter of 1920 increased his average from .2S6 to 1852, his hits including three doubles, two triples and home run. In addition he scored ten runs and stole two bases. Heilman hit in an unprecedented fashion to hold his league leadership, also smashing out thirteen hits in six games, three be- ing doubles and two going for four bases.
 Burns of Cleveland is the runner up to the Detroit slugger with an av- craze of .452, displacing Evans of Cleveland, who was Second last week. Evans is batting AT. The veteran Iris Speaker, manager of the worlds champions, and Ty Cobb, pilot of the Tigers, give promise of being near the top before long. Speaker with .409 is in fifth place. Babe Ruth fol- lows Iris with .403 and Cobb is next with .388. Wood of Cleveland is fourth with 412.
 Babe Ruth, by crashing out two circuit drives, brought his string of home runs up to nine. Harris of Washington continues to set the pace among the base stealers, with six Other leading batters include Steph- enson, Cleveland, .3S0; Menoskey, Boston .375; Witt, Philadelphia, .373; O'Neill, Cleveland .365; Charity, Washington .365.

Wentworth took the opening
game from Missouri Military A.
cademy Wednesday by the score
of 2 to 0 in as fast a contest as
has been seen on the local
grounds in many days. Too
much Houser told the story. The
football star also proved to be
some little pitcher. He let the
heavy-hitting visitors down with
one lonesome hit, a single, and
only twenty-nine men faced
him in the nine innings. In ad-
dition he sent ten down by the
Strike-out route.
Wentworth, on the other hand,
got six safeties. They scored
one run in the first on Hamp-
toms two-bagger, Morrison's
bunt, and a drive by Bradfield,
which the shortstop fumbled, as
it was too hot to handle. w. M.
AS other tally came in the sew
enth. Little Wills, first up, trip
led over the left-felders head.
After Washington had struck
out, Fannin, hit a hot one to
short, who threw low in his ca
gerness to nail the runner at
home. but Wills was safe
when Hubert, the M. M. A.
catcher, let the ball get through
