Virginia League during the first half.
has created a stir throughout the
Virginia League, and the question is
going the grounds, what is High Com
missioner Lands going to do about
it?
One thing seems certain, it looks
like Judge Landis is sitting the mat
ter to the bottom That he is going
to render a decision, and one that
probably will not be reLsbed by the
moguls involved, is the General be-
lief. 1t is known that Judge Lands is
rightly a sticker for clean and fair
sports and that he feels that any yiO-
lation of an agreement by moguls,
the falsifying of contracts by both
players and moguls, it is a serious
offense 1t is known that he regards
this almost as reprehensible as the
misconduct of the White Sox players
in the world series.
1t develops that last week Presi-
dent Bradley was heard in Chicago
by Judge Lands, that he was closely
Questioned regarding the leagues
action in the matter, the awarding of
the pennant to Rocky Mount, and
which the protesting clubs, who ap-
pealed to Judge Lands. claim was
of a serious offense for the sake of
harmony.
1t seems that the calling of Presi-
dent Bradley to Chicago was owing
to Owner Barnes, of Newport News
being unable to secure the records he
desired to submit to Judge Landis
in passing on his appeal from the de
cision of the Virginia League dir
ectors awarding the first half rag to
Rocky Mount. President Bradley is
silent regarding the line of Judge
Landis' inquiries
Reports from Chicago are to the
effect that Judge Lands, in continu-
alton of his investigation of the al
legged salary limit violation and the
awarding of the pennant, has asked
that Vice--President Moye, of the
Rocky Mount club, and the chief exc
cutiye of the Wilson club, make the
trip to Chicago for quizzing. 1t is
expected that Owner Barnes, of New
port News, and President Dawson, of
the Portsmouth club, the two pro-
testants, will also be asked to ap-
pear.
There is also whisper going
around that in the event Judge Ian
dis upholds the appeal of the pro-
testants and reverses the action of
the league in awarding the first half
pennant, that charges will be brought,
first before the Virginia League di-
rectors, and if necessary, followed by
an appeal to Judge Lands. on
charges that certain clubs in the
league are over the salary limit in
the second half. In other words. it
looks like a general row is brewing.
Fandom will be pleased, feeling that
the storm means cleaner and more
sportsmanlike pennant races in the
Virginia League in the future.

Work Good.
Yesterday afternoon at Wilson
League Park the Bugs came back
strong and w on from Portsmouth by
the score of to 5. Manager Clark
selected Quinn to do the hurting for
the Bugs, and as usual Quinn came
thru with win. His work thruout
was more than creditable, but at the
same time the work of the entire
team behind him was of gilt edge
variety, and particularly is this true
of the fielding Of Dick Miller in
right. On not less than three separate
occasions Miller caught almost i'm
possible flies, and especially was his
shoe string catch of Manning's line
drive in the ninth for the third out
great stunt. He came in almost to
the base line and caught the ball
right off the ground. 1t was a per-
feet ending to a day that had other
pleasurable features, the most pleas
urable being that Wilson won

tion of good and bad playing, and
of strong and weak hitting. The

but we secured four bases on balls
while Quinn issued none, and in
addition we had four stolen bases to
one for them. Wilson's hitting was
more timely and for greater distance.
Kline, Quinn and Roth securing
three base hits, while Walters rock
ed the left field fence with a long
doubled. The only extra base hit Sc
cured by the Truckers was made by
Casey in the second inning.

contest. AS usual when playing

SEARCH FOR BERGDOLL's AID
Legion Is Endeavoring to Find Man
Alleged to Have Helped Stacker
Reach Germany.

The American Legion is searching
for the man who is reported to have
aided Grover G. Bergdoll, notorious
Stacker, in his escape from Canada to
Germany, according to Lemuel Bolles,
national adjutant of the Legion, who
said that the Legion is especially con-
cerned in that Bergdoll is alleged to
have obtained his passport in Winni-
peg by using an American Legion but
ton and the army discharge papers of
q LegiOnnaire.
Mr.. Bolles has appealed to the De-
partment of Justice to ascertain the
facts in the case and proposes, If the
report is true, to see that the man
is apprehended, expelled from the Lee
gion and brought to speedy trial.
Bergdoll has been the target of nu-
merous attacks of the American Lee
gion. When he ESCAPED" from prison
a reward of $500 was offered for his
capture and number Of Legion posts
in many parts of the country took
similar action to bring about his cap
ture. One post adopted resolutions
urging the President to demand the
release of the two Americans who tried
to recover Bergdoll In Germany.

I'M BEHALF OF DISABLED MEN
Bentley Post at Cincinnati Regarded
as Model for Systematic
Program for Work.

Robert e. Bentley Post of the Amer
lean Legion at Cincinnati, O., has at
tracted national attention because of
Its activities in behalf of sick and dis
abled veterans of the World war. Its
systematic program for work is regard
ed by Legion officials as model to
posts.
The work has been assigned to four
committees: for disqualification and
compensation, hospital entertainment,
sick members and employment.
The disqualification and compensa-
ton committee takes care of all cases
In which ex-service men seek to obtain
their rights from the government. Its
duties are to direct the applicant to
the proper federal authorities and to
follow up the case. The Red Cross has
aided the post committee by stationing
worker at the club rooms at all times
to handle emergency cases,
Visits to each Cincinnati hospital
where veterans are lodged are made
at least twice a month by the hospital
entertainment committee, which notes
the general condition of the hospitals
and provides entertainments for the
patients.
The sick committee visits all ex-serv-
Ice men in their homes as soon as the
cases are brought to the attention of
the post members.
A free employment bureau for all
veterans is operated at post headquar-
tiers by the employment committee.
The Women's Auxiliary of the pest
has assumed large share of the work.
This organization has a general chair
man of hospital work with sub-chair-
man for each hospital.
AT the General hospital complete
dinner is set once month. Cigarettes,
candy, fruit and cakes are provided
weekly at all hospitals, as are maya
zines and books. At Rockhill the men
were supplied with piano and victrola,
motion picture protector, knitting
machines, pajamas, sweaters, caps,
socks and other comforts. The AuXil-

and bed sacks for the patients. Each
man is interviewed at each visit and
personal favors are executed whenever
possible.
For the benefit of those men who are
vocationally handicapped the Auxiliary
conducts a shop in the post club rooms
where disabled men are employed in
the manufacture of wicker, bead and
mat work. The articles are marketed
by the women and the proceeds are
turned over to the veterans.
All caskets of eX-service men pass
ing through Cincinnati have been deco
rated by the Legion women. Families
of Cincinnati men who died in the serv-
ice are visited and sympathy extended.

tons that divide the political parties
are thoroughly discussed for the pur-
pose of determining the policy of the
government and of having the senti-
ments of the majority crystallized into
legislation. 1t is unfair to an admin
istration that the legislation which It
thinks so essential to the prosperity or
the country should be so long deferred.
1t is, true an extraordinary session may
be called early, but s.lch sessions are
limited generally to one or two SUD-
jects, which of necessity make enor-
nous waste of the time of each mouse
waiting for the other to consider anu
pass the measures.
"Second-As the law is at the pres
ent time, the second regular session
does not convene until after the cleo
tion of the succeeding congress- AS
an election often changes the political
complexion of a congress, under the
present law many times we have the
Injustice of a congress that has Deen
disapproved by the people enactng

tiyes can barely get started IN MS

.Third-Under the present system
a contest over seat in the mouse

cided until more than half the term,
and in many instances until period
of TWENTY-FIVE months of the term has

"Fourth-The president and vice

formance of their duties as soon as

party to retain control of the machin-
cry by which such important offices
are declared elected.
I'm the event that no candidate for
president receives a majority Of the
electoral votes the Constitution pro-
vides that the house of representa-
lives shall elect the president, the rep
resentation from each state having
one vote. At the present time it is
the old congress that elects the presi-
dent under such contingency, and
thereby it becomes possible for a po-
litical party repudiated by the people
to elect a president who was defeated
at the election. Under the present
provision of the Constitution, in the
event the house fails to choose a pres
ident before March 4, then the vice
president then in Office becomes presi-
dent for four years. This affords a
great temptation, by mere delay, to
defeat the will of the people, and If 1t
is ever exercised it will likely produce
a revolution

be canvassed by the incoming instead
of the outgoing congress.
The Ashurst resolution is not new.
In 1914, under Democratic admin
istratiOn. an effort to make this change
was unsuccessful. At that time Sen
ators Nelson (now chairman), Cum
minis, Shields, Ashurst and Fletcher OF
the judiciary committee submitted an
exhaustive minority report which set
forth the arguments in favor of the
change. A study of this report shows
that the proposed amendment does
no violence to the Constitution.
The Constitution, for example, or
dams that the president and vice pres
ident shall hold office for the term
of four years, but does not provide
when the terms shall begin. A pro-
vision in the Twelfth amendment and
an act of congress fix the date as
March 4.
The time Of meeting of the presi-
Dental electors is left to the discre-
ton of congress. An act in 1887 fixes
The Constitution provides that SEN
atOrS and representatives shall hold
office for six and two years respect
Kely, but does not provide when their
terms shall begin.
Modern transportation has changed
the travel conditions which made the
converting of congress in regular ses-
sion thirteen months after the election
of its members advisable when the
government began operations in 1889.
The converting of congress in De-
cember is inopportune, owing to the
holiday session, as everyone knows.
and little work is done until January.
Now that under the Seventeenth
amendment senator's are elected by
the people at the November election
instead of by the legislatures Of the
States in January or February, the
converting of congress in January
would seem to be opportune.
AS to the weather conditions, it is
likely that January would be less sa-
lubrious than March in Washington.
Still, the accompanying photograph of
the capital on March 6 shows that ac-
cidents will happen in the best reg
ulated weather offices. Moreover,
those promoting the Ashurst resolution
argue that the question of weather
is too insignificant to be an argument
against a constitutional amendment
which promises much for good govern
ment. The pomp and ceremony of
kings is not necessary in a republic.
The reasons set forth by this report
for the adoption of the proposed
amendment are in substance:
"First-Congress should at the earli-
est practicable time enact the prin-
ciples of the majority of the people as
expressed in the election of each con-
greSs That is why the Constitution
requires the election of new CON-
gress every two years.

congressional election the great QueS-
