 His pitching average for 1920 was 324 as against .625 for the year be- fore, when he used his pet delivery all season.
 "When Cleveland beat me in that game I got the idea in my head that I wasn't there as a pitcher without spitball," says Sothoron. "I had de pended upon it too much. The spit ball isn't the only ball I throw, but it fits into my system.
 After that disastrous game with the Indians I couldn't regain my old confidence, even after they gave me my splitter back. Confidence Is thing that any winning pitcher must have.
 "A pitcher might have a fadeaway as good as Mathewson's, the speed of Walter Johnson and the control of Babe Adams, but unless he thinks he can master the batters whe face him he is helpless. I'm going to be all right again this year."
 The fact that SOthOrOn held the Cardinals to four hits and beat them in an exhibition game indicates he is his old self.

FRENCH FAVOR PLAN
 FOR COSTLY STADIUM

Paris, May 13.-A motion to vote an appropriation of twenty. million francs for the purpose of erecting sta dium in which to hold the 1924 Olympic games, should they be awarded to Paris, will be discussed next week by the Paris municipal council It is reported ma jority of the councillors favor the plan.
 The question of site for the stadium also will be settled. Many have advO- cated erecting it just outside the Cham perret gate in the outskirts of the Bois de Boulogne, while the Champ de Mars has also been mentioned as well as the BOis de Boulogne itself. The Champert plan apparently has a majority of supporters, as it is easily accessible.

 Giving spitballers a continued lease on Iife meant more to Sothoron pos sibly than to any other of the 16 ma jor league pitchers now qualified to use the moist delivery. Without the spitball Sothoron was a failure.

REApJUsTING WAGES

Laws which operate in eco
nomic affairs are often overlooked
by both sides, as workers IN
many lines contend against a re-
adjustment OF wages and certain
employers are intent on reducing
wage costs to an extent that VIII
permit them to operate their
plants prohtably.
Many OF the difficulties in the
way OF return to normal CON
iitions in industry have their
base in the failure OF employers
md employees to recognize the
act that the periodical rise and

consolidated schools do not increase
the number OF schools nor the num-
Der OF teachers as implied in Major
Riley's article On the contrary, we
have been able to reduce the number
of schools by closing II rural schools
and we have been able to reduce the
number of teachers proportionafely
while at the same time we have in
creased the average daily attendance
in these same school districts. The
money saved by closing the rural
schools so far has more than offset
the cost OF transportation. The work
in these schools has been pro-
nounced By outsiders as far above the
average. Our plan is to extend con-
solidation with transportation as
rapidly as funds are available for the
required buildings. At Millersville,
as well as in several other commune
ties, careful survey has been made
of all the children in the proposed
consolidated area. routes have been
mapped out. large school lots have
been offered free of cost TO the county
and the patrons stand ready TO bear
the loss on the bonds The plan will
mean at least three less teachers and
more efficient work. Is there nothing
clearcut or definite about the plan?

SATURDAY, MAY IA, 1921.
PERFECTING THE LISTS

The war Department yester-
day made a statement through
the Adjutant-General OF the
Army in answer to the sharp crit
icisms concerning the Stacker
lists that have been recently pub.
lished in various sections OF the
country, and in which severa
glazing cases OF injustice have
been reported. General Harri
says, in effect, that the response
bility for these errors is upon tn,
men themselves who are falseh
branded as draft-dodgers, and j
not the fault of the Department
He says that the War Depart
ment has done everything in it
power to insure the CORRECTNESS
Of the published lists, and ha
succeeded in cutting down to ap
proximately 10000 names tho
original total of 10000.
AT practically the same tim
the War Departments statemen,
was made, appeared two dis
patches from New York showing
that the name of William Suther
land Bacon of that city was the
first on the first list released 70,
publication by the Army authori
ties al Fort Sheridan, Illinois
whereas, the facts in the cast
show that Bacon volunteered il
the early part Of the War an
rose from the rank Of private t
that of lieutenant-colonel; ais
that he is a member of the Am
erican Legion. Another case wa.
that of man who not only served
in France, but was cited by Gen
eral Pershing for gallantry al
Chateau Thierry. At practically
the same time. because of the OBJ
vious injustice shown in mum.
Der of cases, three Chicago news
papers announced that they
would not publish further lists
until greater accuracy is obtain
ed. This followed the action
taken by other metropolitan dali
les to the same effect.
SO far as the spirit and inten-
ton of the officials of the War
Department and of the Admins
tration are concerned. no defense
of the Stacker lists" is necessary.
for they all were aiming to serve
a great patriotic purpose. Still.
less is any defense necessary OF
those splendid citizens who serv-
ed on the draft boards and un-
selhshly gave their time and able
services for their country. On the
whole, they did wonderful work
and the country owes them a deer
debt of gratitude.
In the very nature of things.
however, mistakes were bound to
occur in the matter of routine
and it would be most unreason-
able to expect that the records OF
the War Department would be
100 per cent AT the same time.
the matter of a PERSONS war rec
ord is of such vital Importance,
and the possibility of grievous
and irreparable injury is SO out
standing in the case OF an indi-
vidual, here and there. that the
publication of a Stacker list
should only be made after errors
have been reduced to a minimum
Even then the checking and re,
checking should be so thorough
as to render impossible the glar,
ing cases OF injustice that have al
ready appeared.
1t is to be assumed that the
War Department in dealing with
this momentouS task is fully
alive to the extreme importance
of perfecting its list before fur
Their publications are made. and
when this has been done, it will
be found that newspapers
throughout the country will be
at their service for carrying out
the great purpose involved. |!
