 Kicking the old Wallet
 Some major league magnates can't get Judge Kennesaw Noun tain Landis' point of view. He led fight to cut down the reve- nue of the major leagues. soon after he got to drawing the big gest salary baseball ever heard of. It was Judge Landis who led the fight to whittle the nine game world series back to seven game proportions. He won his fight, too, and thereby topped off con- siderable lucre from the mag mates bank rolls.
 Still the judge is to be com graduated on putting baseball back on a seven-game basis for the big series. Those nine game series proved too long and mo- notonous, and while of course q bigger money maker than the shorter affairs, they had begun to pail on the baseball fans.
 You gotta hand it to Ty Cobb and Iris Speaker for arranging things conveniently. Ty is boss of the Detroit Tigers and Iris is pilot for the Cleveland Indians. These two managers like to stick In their home towns as long as possible. So Tyrus has ordered his Tigers to train in Augusta this spring, while Iris will put his Redskins through the early sea son workouts at Dallas, Tex.
 Helped Pels and Chicks
 Memphis and New Orleans sponsored the 16-player limit at the Southern league meeting in Memphis. The reason of this was that the Chicks and Pe1icans be- lieve in having their manager on the coaching lines. With the 16 man club in vogue it will give Johnny and Spencer chance to stay on the lines, and at the same time have Is men on the payroll.
 Carlton Molesworth has never sponsored this type of managing. The foxy Carlton prefers g place In the background, where he may direct his attack. Working on these lines, it is assumed that the chubby pilot will take advantage
 
 of the new rule this year by add ing an extra man to the payroll. rather than clapping his hands on the coaching lines. With Is men on his club Carlton may string along with a utility man for the infield, another for the gardens, two catchers and five pitchers.
 Some players fade from view in the course of few years and others go on, and on, and on. There's Bill Trough, who used to chunk 'em for the Barons vars ago. Bill had big year in the Coast league last summer win ming 20 and losing 12 for the Sac ramento club. Old Otis Crandall is still going, too. The inventor and perfector of the roundhouse curve won 24 and lost IS.

mag should remember that an elimination of knot holes in base ball fences would kill off future ticket buyers. Kids get so in- terested in baseball by viewing 1t through the knot holes that later on when they begin earning money of their own, they buy pews in bleachers or grandstand.
 Navin. of the Detroit Tigers, has offered Connie Mack $50,OOO for Joe Dugnn, 1t is said. How ever, the only time Connie ever turned down fifty thou., was when he thought it wns counterfeit, or something.
 It's n Grand old Game
 There are those who will tell you there is no such a thing as sentiment in baseball. Many sore heads have spent the past few years condemning the heads of organized baseball and asserting they are soulless wretches, with only the mercenary side of the sport in mind. These grouches had best wake up.
 It has ever been the case that baseball sticks to those who.stick to them and does it's durndest to stick those who stick them. The case of Wee Willie Keeler, former big league star. is an example. Years ago Willie Keeler per fected the bunt. And baseball hasn't forgotten that the diminu- tive one gave baseball something that would last forever.
 Fact was brought to light re- gently that the game little Keeler of other years was i'll, and in financial straits. Magnates of the two major leagues heard of Will lies sad plight and recently the majors voted Keeler loan of $5,500.
 All of which goes to show there is really some sentiment con nected with the national pastime, and that magnates do not spend all their time in stacking away

The Quaker Oats favor has
won millions the world over.
This brand dominates wherever
ozt lovers live, for we fake it
from queen grains only.
Now there's a quick-cooking
Quaker, made from those same
queen grains. It cooks in 5 to S
minutes. 1t is the quickest-cook-
ing oats in the world.
The oats are cut before FAX
ing. They are rolled very thin
and partly cooked. So the fakes
are smaller and thinner-that is
all And those small thin fakes
cook quickly.
Say which you want. In either

ure. after a long watch along the
roads leading from Greenviiie into

was being brought to the city from
Georgia. Three men in the a evil
