ABBEVILLE NINE

Baseball Games-Bruce Galloway
Hits First Home Run Of Sea-
son-Ceorge Smith Gets
4 Hits Out of S .'.

1t was a cold, dreary afternoon
Wednesday when Antreville met her
fate at the hands Of Howie and SWEET
enburg's mighty Caseys on Rosenberg
field. The final score was II to 4 and
no spectacular playing on either team.
1t was just too cold. Evefytime ball
would bound toward aplayer you
could see his shoulderssshrink when
he thought how cold his hands were
to handle a hot one in proper style.
Lots of errors were made but no
body could help it.
Friday afternoon-April Fools
Day-the valiant Georgia Crackers
from Elberton Forded across the Sa-
vannah to meet the locals in a return
game. And meet them they did. Had
The pep continued as those colaborers
of Ty Cobb started off Fridays game
Abbeville would have been playing
yet trying to get them out in the
first inning. But it's a long lane that
has no turning and even "Buster"
finally decided you couldn't win a
game by walking the batters and the
old Abbeville boys frightened Up.
Bruce went in the box and that old
Fatty" perspired but he did pitch
ball. When he wanted a rest he let
them knock him an easy grounder to
save pitching more than three balls
in one inning. After the second inn
ing Elberton made only one tally
while Abbeville gradually crept up
inning by inning until they lacked
only one score of tieing the thing up
but were unable to make the dozen
necessary in the ninth. - -.
The final score stood: Abbeville II
IL. Abbeville got II hits
while Elberton got only z.
Abbeville is developing some NIGH
ty Caseys with the stick. George
Smith of North Main got four nice
clean ones out of five times up, Billy
and Allen Long did splendid work
both at the bat and in the field but
the laurel wreath for the afternoon
must be placed on the sweaty brow Of
big Bruce. He pitched jam-tp game
and clouted the pill every time he
went to the bat, one of them for
home run. One of Miss MarshalPs
roosters stopped the ball in her back
yard. Allen Long lost two brand new
balls on long fouls and somebody
else buried one in Col. Bob Hill's po-
tssto patch. In all $12 worth of balls
were necessary to finish the game and
the total receipts were SO. Where
do the other expenses come from?
The game was full of ginger and
there were numerous crucial momnets
plenty of excitement, those there had
a good time, but there were not many
there. There were about as many ne
groes in the pig sty backIof the home
plate as there were spectators in the
bleachers. 81
These high school boys are playing
some good baseball and their games
ire worthy of the public's support
and all they need to win all the fu-
trre games is a little hearty
roofing on the part of their home
folk.

Washington, April 3.-Senate
proponents of an immediate peace

resolution are expected to be stand
ing firmly by their intention to pre-
sent such a resolution promptly on
the converting Of the extra session
Of congress a week from Monday.
information that members Of the
senate favoring speedy peace by
resolution have not abandoned their
previously announced intention was
obtained tonight after a notable day
Of White House conferences at
which the advisabiity of congress
sional declaration Of peace together
with other questions involved in a
peace settlement were understood
to have been discussed.
Whether the intention Of the
peace-by-resolution senator's has
been approved in any degree by
President Harding and whether it
has the support of senate Republi-
cans generally were matters on
which no information was obtain
able. In this connection It was re-
called that some Of the more, promi-
nent members Of the senate favor
ing a peace resolution have stated
definitely that action on matters in
voiving peace would not be taken in
conflict with administration views.
The conferences at the White
House today were generally consid-
cred IN the bearing on international
affairs as probably the most lmpor-
that President Harding has held
since his Inauguration.

thor Of the Republican peace resolu-
ton Of the last session Of congress,

York; selected as ambassador to
Great Britain, Myron T. Herrick, of
Ohio. understood to be under con-
sideration for ambassador to France
and Stephan Lauzanne noted French
journalist who came 70 this country
with former Premier Viviani, were
ameng those with whom the presi-
dent was closted during the day. All
Of those who participated in the con-
ferences declined to say what speci-
fic proposals were discussed or to in
dicate when decisions might be ex-
pected.
By inference the days develop
ments were coupled with the visit
here Of M. Viviani, 0ho has brought
to American officials q first hand re-
port as to the present attitude of
the European governments towards
the league of nations and related
subjects. Gossip shout the mission
Of the former premier persistently
has suggested that he hoped to per-
suade the administration not to push
its peace declaration but rather to
consider on what basis it might ac-
cept the treaty Of Versailles.
Senator Knox went to the White
House at the presidents invitation
and they spent more than two hours
together. The visit started. a new
outcropping Of speculation about the
fateeof the peace resolution but was
followed by no authoritative an
.nouncement as to whether the meas
ure would be pressed at the special
session of congress. The impression
given was that the administration
was feeling its way in the light of
the information and advice brought
by M. Viviani and that a policy was
vet to be framed.

is This an Embarrassment of Riches?

the economists who tell us that the
inflow of the gold TO the United States
beginning early in the World war was
an important factor in cheapening the
dollar and increasing prices.
Whether prices and the purchasing
power of the dollar ever will return
to the pre-war level is a universal
question which the economists answer
with the assertion that until our gold
hoard diminishes materially prices
will not decline materially.
Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale univer-
sity looks for a rise in wholesale prices
and reviving business next fall.
The Stable Money league is study
ing the phenomena of price move
ments with view to recommending
legislation to counteract such nuctun-
tons in the purchasing power of the
dollar as have upset industry, com
merce, and household economy in the
last few years.
Professor Fisher proposes to stabIl-
ize the dollar by increasing its gold
content when there is tendency of
gold to deprecinte and decreasing its
gold content when the tendency of
gold Is to appreciate.

Only One Pilot for the National Aircraft

The position of President Harding
in the mntter is that malgamauoh
will work to efficiency and economy
one great difficulty pertaining 10 the
present separate aircraft services 'h"'
has impressed him Is that ihere Is ho
systematic method of awarding con-
tracts for the construction of aircraft
one branch awards contracts without
regard to any other government AR
craft organization, and the President
believes that this is detrimental to the
upbuIlding of private aircraft manu-
fncture in the United States.
The aircraft manufacturers are de-
pendent almost entirely on govern
ment patronage, as commercial ue
mands are small, and ii Is claimed
that unless the government so ar
ranges It's contracts ms TO distribute
contracts among all those concerns
which produce aircraft meeting gov
ernment standards some of them may
be obliged TO 20 out of business.
In these circumstances President
Harding Is understood to feel that a
central government aircraft organizn-
tion will be better able to determine
how contracts should he awarded for
the entire government.
Inference Is drawn from what
Is learned of the Presidents position
that he Is in favor of the amalgama-
ton of the War and the Navy depart
