GOOD BEHAVIOR is
NECESSARY.

The major leagues will settle
down to the serious fun Of pur-
suing pennants today. It's 60
ing to be a big season. The
keen interest shown in the
South this spring is a pretty
sure indication of baseball en-
thusiasm the country over.
Under the new conditions in
baseball government the season
should be free of petty squab-
bles and bad sportsmanship.
With the vast amount of au-
thority which Judge Lands has
under his thumb there should
be no umpire-baiting and no
rowdyism. Ball players will
have to be on their good behav-
ior.
Baseball fans hear enough
arguments at home, in the
clubs, and at their places OF
business without paying to hear
them at baseball park.

gang made an excellent showing,
though. against the major leaguers,

Manager Mcbride used the game
as workout for his lads on the

| Speaking at a banquet to the two
Chicago major league teams, Judge
Lands urged the players to try their
hardest at all times and not to be
afraid OF taking chances.
| Never before in any activity in
the United States has anything been
scrutinized as will our activity be
scrutinized this season." said Judge
Lands. We know why that is with

| I'VE must put up with that for a

of fair play will soon snuff out that
attitude.
| The American public always deals
with its affairs on the merits of the
case. We must play the game as hard
as ever No hanging back when we
see a hard chance for fear OF that
mutter in the stands. Don't be afraid.
II you strike out, that has been done
before: IL a pitcher blows up, that
also has been done before. The crowi
will have sense enough TO under
stand in the long run. The only
thing 1t will not forgive is being
afraid to take a chance. Take chances
and fight always.
SPY ON EVERY FIELD.
"They say I have spy on every
baseball field. 1t Is needless for me
to deny that. The rehabilitation of
baseball lies with you players and not
with me.
"The only thing can do Is to try
to protect you from the influences
that wrecked pugilism, racing and
other sports-the gentlemen who
would debauch the crucifix to win a

I want you men to set high stand

Nobody says when Barney works. He

faith in the big fellow, knowing that
he never shirks work when right, or
even when not, for that matter.
Upon Walter johnson rests largely
the hope of the 1921 Griffmen. 1t he

Manager Mcbride is counting on J.

PRESIDENT HARDING COMMANDS
LARGEST AUDIENCE OF PLAYERS
WHO CHASE LITTLE WHITE BALL

golfers stood by in amazement a short
time ago and watched the president
drive into q sandpit 100 yards from
the tee, on a par three hole. The pres
ident watched his ball sink in the sand,
walked to it very deliberately. chose a
spoon and tried for an "oUt." No
luck, but plenty of sand in the air and
all over the presidential golfer. One
more try with the spoon, and the same
net result. On the third shot the little
old ball went shooting into the air and
carried twenty yards over the green.
The president switched his cigar from
one corner of his mouth to the other
and, without even muttering, walked
on.
When the chief executive was out
of hearing. one of the old timers who
was standing by exploded. Hell. he
can't be human! Three dubs and not
a single word!"
The old timer followed along to the
green. The president drew a six on a
par three hole.
Nice work, Joe" said the president
to Senator Frelinghnysen. his oppo-
nent, who holed out in three
Turning toward the next tee, the
president stopped in the midst of his
gallery and asked youth for a
match.
Hell, he is human after all, eh,
wot ?' croaked the old timer.
This was but a fair example of the
presidential control at golf. The chief
executive doesn't always hit them
where he would like them to go, but
he has perfect control of his temper
and tongue. and one bad hole doesn't
ruin his game, for he goes after the
next hole harder than ever.
Believes in Comfort Before Style.

golf form in the land, but it's safe

The president plays most frequent

To Make Draw Bar Tests.

Prof. w. j. Gilmore, instructor in
farm mechanics at the Oregon Agri-
cultural College will he in Pendleton
early next week. He is coming to
cooperate with County Agent Bennion
in conducting some draw-bar tests in
connection with harvesting outfits.
The purpose of the exeriments is to
determine the amount of horse power
necessary to effectively take care of
certain makes and styles of combines
in any given locality in the county
The question is one of importance to
farmers and implement men.
Similar tests were conducted last
spring and the spring before on plow-
ing outfits. II is now known exactly
how much horsepower is required to
draw the different plow rigs in the va
rious soil types of the county and at
the various depths to which the soil
is usually plowed. These experiments
created a great deal of interest and
the tests to be made next week are the
result of the interest manifested in
the plowing experiments.

The Umatillh county party visiting

wager that he has as good golf temper
as any player now extant, unless some
of the characters in those old sunday
school books have taken up the an
cient Scotch game.
The executive is not star golfer.
nor is he bad golfer. His scores run
under and over the 100 mark for IS
holes. He plays golf for the sheer joy
of it, and to win. Whatever he plays
he plays to win, but he plays with an
extreme fair-mindedness and takes no
advantage over an opponent, nor does
he gloat over an adversary's misfor-
tune.
1t is often said that a mans true
character is shown in his gilf. If this
be true, Warren G. Harding is a gen.
tleman and true sportsman. and
then some!
Those who make golf an excuse for
wearing dashing, "tweedy' looking,
sport clothes may be interested to
know that the president doesn't spend
much worry over his golfing clothes.
He wears light linen ''knickers" in
summer, with pair of the ugliest
brown golf stockings ever seen on any
course. Like Ambassador Harvey. he
sheds his coat whenever the weather
warrants it and doesn't care what the
golf fashion books may say about this.
His shirt is of soft white linen, with a
soft collar attached, and his blue bow
tie is generally somewhat awry He
alternates between a tweed golf cap
and white linen hat that flops in an
uncanny fashion over his face.
The president is no Adonis in golf
habiliaments. but he looks like real
golfer, and you may take it from his
constant gallery, he is.
