dition to the Yanks' weak staff.
Called q Wonder.
Johnny Mitchell was called a field
ing wonder while in the Pacific Coast
League. The Yankees are said to
have turned over seven players to per-
nit him to warm the bench all last
summer. Subbing for Roger Peckin-
paugh is a soft snap and Mitchell got
into mighty few ball games at short.
He had a brief and unfortunate trial
at second base. Though a marvel on
the coast, Mitchell is not needed by
the Yankees. He should welcome a
chance to play regularly for the De.
troit Tigers.
President Griffith, limiting Of pos
aible deals to be completed in New

ager and others have Johnson run
ming the ball club from the bench
during afternoons when he Is not
hurting. Half the ball club has been
sold or traded, according to these
rumors. However, not until he re-
turns from New York will the boss
make any official announcements.
The fans want a whole lot Of new
pitchers. They have been obtained,
though most of them have yet to
make good. The rooters are also
bowling via the United States mails
for a new third baseman and new
shortstop.
O'Rourke Is Cheerful.
Saw Blackie O'Rourke last night
going into the Occidental for a real
dinner. He seemed cheerful as ever.
I'm taking the massage and the
electric bath every day" said he.
"Of course, I'll have to get out there
and throw a ball before I'll be GER
tain Of the effect of the treatment
But they tell me I'll be all right
again and I'm willing to wait"
O'Rourke is due to remain here
until Christmas, taking daily treat
ment for his weak wing. Then he will
rest at his home until the bugle blows
sending him to Tampa Down there,
coaxed by the warm sun and soft
breeze, he will unlimber his throwing
arm. II he finds himself able to set
the ball across on line the Washing
ton club will not have to search farther
for a shortstop. II the arm continues
weak--well, that's different. Then,
unless some other player is waiting
his chance to play, a mighty roar will
go up from Washington that will be
heard clear down at Tampa.
Milan Is Favored.
Zeb Milan seems to be favored by
washington fans for the vacant Job

increase over last year says the

have not opened yet on account Of
the cotton but most OF them will be-
sin in Oct. or Nov. Last year there
were about 1890 scholasticsl in the
county and this year there are 2004.
This is a healthy growth for the ru-
raj districts for one year and shows
conclusively that conditions in our
county are considerably better than
previous years
Besides the increase OF pupils over
the county several OF the districts
have voted bonds for the building OF
new school houses Bethel, Favor.
Cannaway, China Grove, and county
Line. have voted bonds for the erec-
tion OF new buildings. Bethel and
