 self so superb1y loyal. One knew that behind ones back he would never say an unkind word about one He would discuss people, of course, would admit their faults. but always point- ed out their good qualities as well. He had wide charity. Even a dull man can pick flaws in people, and possibly be rather amusing in so do- ing. 1t takes 8 brilliant man to be equally entertaining in exhibiting the lovable qualities of his fellow human beings. Wendell could paint faults and virtues to perfection. but if he was painting the faluts one always knew that his last word would pos- tray the good that waits in every human soul for the discerning eye to find Even in speaking of Germans and there was little that appealed to him in the German characterize all ways lauded their sense of discipline.

 Somebody said of him on the day os his funeral: He was the last great Tory gentleman" The phrase was true and sad. We need in America, especially since the war. these Tory gentlemen to link us with the amen ities and the graces of the past. to keep us sane in our mad rush after the novelties, intellectual and moral, of the hurried present.

TRIAL OF INDICTED
 SOX TO BEGIN TODA Y

Chicago, July 17.--Prosecution and defense in the case of the men al- legged to have formed a conspiracy for Chicago White Sox players to permit Cincinnati to win the 1919 world series tonight were ready to go into the first innings of play in Judge Hugo Friends court tomor- row, when the trial proper will start after two weeks of preliminary warming up, most of which was oc- cupied in selecting a jury
 Indications are that the case may tanglements which will leave the jury deciding. not whether there ac- tually ever was a conspiracy for the series to be thrown, but merely against Illinois laws. The defense tonight was ready to submit half a dozen motions tomorrow, each of which probably will further entangle the legal aspects of the trial.
 The defense suffered a slight set back today when it's attorneys tried to lHterNleW blll Burns, the alleged accomplice of the defendants, whom the state is relying on to strike out' the defendants with his testimony, and Joe Gedeon, former St. Louis player. who was unconditionally re- leased after the grand jury nvesti- gation last fall, although he was not indicted
 Learn Nothing
 All the defense attorneys met with the states attorneys to interview the two men, permission for the inter- view having been granted by Judge but they learned nothing.
 Burns, alleged to have been one of the framers of the alleged conspiracy, gave the same answer to every ques- tion.
 T do not care to discuss the case at all," the former major league pitcher replied to every question.
 T have nothing to saN," was Gedeon's stock reply, both men hav ing been instructed by the state to give these answers.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-07-18

The defense tomorrow will reques an order from Judge Friend that the men be forced to talk on the ground that it is against the law to surprise defendant, and that unless Burns and Gedeon tell what their testi- mony will be the defendants may be surprised.
 The defense also plans to ask Judge Friend to order Burns arrest, ed, he being under indictment al though never officially apprehended due. 1t is said, to his agreement to turn states evidence.
 Some More Plans
 After these two motions, the de- fense plans to move that the grand jury statements of Eddie Cicotte, Joe Jackson and Claude Williams be barred from the case; that no grand jurors or others who heard these confessions while under a pledge of secrecy be permitted to testify; that all evidence of gambling on the series barred as the indictments do n0 tion gambling, and that the last two counts in the indictments, charging conspiracy to defraud Ray Schalk and the Chicago club be stricken out.
 It was announced by defense at torneys tonight that they will pro- duce evidence to show that the feud between President Ban Johnson of the American league, and President Charles A. Coniskey of the Chicago club was responsible for the grand jury investigation. It will be con- tended that Johnson instigated the to wreck Comiskey's club when it was on the verge If another pennant.
 As a final attempt to stave off a rally by the state, the defense may base its case mainly on the conten- tion that, although there was a con ten plated conspiracy, it never was carried out. and that it was not in of any Illinois law
 After disposing of the various mo- tions. Mr German will make the opening statement. and will first in- troduce witnesses who lost money betting on the White Sox. Then will some Burns. Gedeon and possibly Billy Maharg of Philadelphia, these men comprising the states wreck ng crew"

SlS-- HARRINGTON AND NKLNNEY READY FOR BOUT SPORTS
RIVAL WEI TIERS MEET
 AT B. A. C. TONIGHT
Memphis Dummy" Has Flag Signaling System All His OWn-PreIiminarieS

Dummy" Mckinney, admittedly one of the best welterweight box CTS in the south, is in Birmingham today, ready for his tilt with "Dum- my" Darlington, the Magic City's best battler in his class. The bout which from Advance dope promises to be one of the seasons best, will be staged at the Birmingham Ath- letic club.
 The two opponents of tonight are strangely alike in several ways. First, both have been given the nonicker Dummy. Harrington is not a genuine dummy, as he can carry on a perfectly good every day conversation with anyone. He is a bit hard of hearing, which earned for him the subtitle of Dummy" The Memphis boxer, Mckinney, is a sure enough dummy. He can neither speak nor hear.
 4 Big Time
 Yesterday afternoon at the B. A. C. several mutes visited the club and staged d regular bull session" with Mckinney. Everyone seemed to en- joy himself, and mostly likely they did
 A peculiar thing about McKinneys S ring career is that from his first bout till now, he has been forced to em- ploy a flagging system to keep up with rounds while he Is in the ring.
 When the gong sounds for the round to begin red flag is waved by McKinney's seconds, and the Mem phian jumps from his corner and ad vances to the center of the ring. A white flag tells Mckinney that the round is over and hostilities cease.
 Both Are Battlers
 Another point of similarity be- tween Mckinney and Harrington is the fact that both are battlers from the word go" Being kinda handy with their dynamite, both light into their opponents with both dukes failing right and left. It takes an exceedingly clever boxer to keep out of the way of such a battler.
 The knock record of each Is big There is usually lots of action when these two battlers are billed to scrap.
 In addition to the main go, which will be a 10-round affair, several pre- 1imnary bouts will be staged. includ- ing a six-round semi final. The first bout begins at S;30 tonight.

HOW PEOPLE PICK THEIR BANKS

From the Nations Business
 How many bank customers are in :. fluenced largely by the manner ot the man at the window? And just what does make person select one bank rather than another?
 Nearly everybody, even the hum blest of us. sooner or later has deal ings with bank. Many probably go to particular bank without knowing why But even when one doesn't know the reason, there never theless is reason. It may be be- cause bank Is so accessible that it represents the line of least rests tance. The bank building itself may look so substantial and impressive that the innocent bystander feels sense of security in dealing there. Or, without recalling where or how, a man may have in the back of his head the vague memory of favorable comments about bank from certain of it's customers

Britishers to Inuade
 American College
 Tracks This Month

New York, July ,17.-This month o. July will go down in our athletic his tory as one of the most remarkable in the field of international sports. Sport lovers have only had to pick out a day--and there have been bus few blanks--to witness some event with international aspect, which would have been regarded as the fea- ture of an entire season in days gone by Now these events are actually crowding each other.
 The cream of the British amateur and professional golfersAs entered m the American open tournament at Columbia next week. Those entries include Abe Mitchell. George Dun can, Thomas D. Armour, J. s. White and J. A. Bait The British univer- sity tennis players still are driv- ing and volleying on American courts. The Oxford Cambridge track and field athletes have contests not only with the combined teams of Harvard and Yale. but with Prince
 
 shoe. The Harvard and Yale track and field men will put the final touches on their preparation for the Britishers the first of next week and will be worked out we'll if the weather is a bit kinder.
 U. s. Best in Sprints
 It begins to look as if the sprints and the field events would fall into the American winning column, with the Britishers taking the honors in the middle and long distance runs.
 In the 100-yard dash, there always chances of upsets, of course. and the British have good men entered, but when it comes to the jumps and weights, there are seldom form re- versals serious enough to offer sur pfises. This applies also to the longer runs
 In the 100, Gourdin of Harvard is coming on. and should be able to hold although the Englishman has been doing 10 seconds flat. But Ter. the other English sprinter, is shade better in the long distances, and can run flat 2;20 and good quarter. In the half-mile, Tom Campbell of Yale must be right on edge to win from Mountain for the hung mp mark of 1856 this year. the same time in which Camr bell won the half-mile in the Harvard Princeton games.
 Stallard of England has the mile 1t his mercy. for there is little like- lihcod of any American suddenly finding himself 50 full of endurance and speed as to cover the distance in 4:1ss March McInnes and Mon-

ldkue SnOuld peat the America IS when it comes to the longer dis taEces.
 LandOn Is Classy
 In the high jump, LAandon of Yale should outclass his field, and Gour- din of Harvard. to say nothing of krogness. should easily account for the broad j4mp. as Ford has only been able to do about 22 feet, and Ingraham. his teammate, a trjfle less. Trowbridge. the ex-Prince- tonian, now representing Oxford, has perhaps shade on Snedden in the high hurdles. but the Americans have other entries in the background who will give him a hard task. Although he probably will run over the high sticks in 15 4-5, Partridge, his team mate, is nearly as good. If Trow- bridge were running for Princeton, it might make a decided difference in the results of the Oxford -Cambridge- Princeton-Cornell meet.
 There may be some changes in the running of the events. for the Brit ishers can. use Rluid in any place. as he is in condition. That remarka ble athlete Is a serious contender in any event A-om the quarter to the mile.

more than double what it would
cost in normal times.
When the board of supervisors
made the levy last September for
the maintenance Of the roads
it contemplated continuation Of
high prices, and it was necessary
to raise the levy in order to carry
the work on. Conditions are
changing now, and changing rap
idly, and next. year we will be a.
bic to get more work and better
work done for less than half we
are now paying. The board will
then reduce the levy, and taxes
will drop back to normally. And
mark iur prediction, we will have
good roads, too.
The News does not hold any
brief for the defense Of the board
of supervisors; but we believe
each member is doing the best he
can under the trying conditions
under which he is laboring.
We have implicit confidence in
their ability to lead us out of the
wilderness, and that when condi-
tions have undergone the changes
that are now taking place, we will
have good roads, good churches
and good schools, and our taxes
will not be burdensome, either.
Bear with them patiently, and
in the meantime, if your member
of the board is, according to your
way of thinking, making a mistake
in any particular thing, 60 to him
privately and talk the matter over
with him; he will gladly hear you,
and no doubt will welcome your
counsel.
