ground to cover. After about two
hours toll he began to cry.
whats the matter, sOl" asked a
sympathetic neighbOr, as he came upon
the scene.
"a tramp came along and stole the
shovel from the boy next door," ex-
planned the lad between sobs.
"Well, son." continued the neighbor,

pies affairs"

Representative ChristOphersOT OF
South Dakota tells good story about
darky who was short of meat at

"Why, Sambo, what are YOU doing In
my smokehouse at this time Of night?"
To which the trembling darky re-
piled: "Ah sub. All just come in to
pray, suh."
WhereupOn the pastor said: "If that
is the purpose of this visit here, then
you just get down and pray"
ThereupOn the darky sank on his
knees, raised his eyes and hands to
heaven and offered up this prayer:
"Oh, Lord. | FRAY that you now
promptly dismiss us so that we may

Among the crown jewels Of the
Hapsburgs were two large diamonds
Of ruby tint which were always re-
garded as especially valuable and
whenever the royal jewels were placed
on exhibition these stones were under
special guard. II was necessary some
time ago to dispose Of the jewels, and
as they were being prepared for ex-

they were put through a wash which
unfortunately removed the color Of the

EASTERN SH0' RULING
Decision Handed Down by Conn.,
missioner in Sam Frock
Case.

Salisbury, Md, Nov. 1S.-Decision
handed down the past week by Com
missioner kenesaw NJ. Lands affirms
the decision OF the National Associa-
ton made at the latter part of the
season In the case of Sam Frock ver-
sus the e-Laurel Club OF the Eastern
Shore League in which the former
manager OF the Delaware Blue Hens
sought TO recover salary for that po-
sition from August 10 to September 2.
1t is thought that probably never
before In organized ball was such a
contract entered into by club and
manager as that held by the officials
of the Laurel Club during the past
season. At least it is certain by the
official ban of the commissioner that
there will no more such contracts.
The finding is as follows:
Claimant Frock was discharged as
manager of the Laurel team of the
Eastern Shore League on August 10,
1922. From the denial by the Ma
tionai Association Of his claim fo'
salary from that date to September .,
1922, the close of the season, he ap-
claim is based ~uponcmfwymfwym
pealed to the commissioner. The
claim is based upon a special contract
stipulating that the clubs salary limit
OF S1.75o per month should be paid
Frock. out of which he was to pay~all
salaries to players. the balance TO be
retained as his compensation.
THE club asserts that Frock Sc
cured low priced players. released
players with higher salaries and gen.
orally was primarily concerned min
imizing the payroll, rather than ir
securing a winning club. for the pur-
pose Of increasing his own compensa-
ton.
'Frock admits that from June 8 te
August 10. l received $S53.05 for my
salary! Although the Eastern Shor,
League limited its clubs TO IA players
each, the Laurel club has submitted
contracts or 81 players employed al
different times during the season, with
salaries ranging from SIS per month
up and asserts that there We're som,
80 more players given tryouts with
out contracts. II is quite evident tha
that club was justified in dischargins
Frock, independent of other charge!
Il has made against him.
THE National Associations deci
sion is affirmed and the claim disal
lowed. y
THE major-minor league rule
(article 2. section ID provide that M
club shall make a contract differen
from the uniform players contrac,
The Laurel club is censurable for IT
use OF this special agreement. No
only does it fix an obviously imprope
basis for the managers compensation
hut it puts a premium On the wreck

will hereinafter be made by any club
