The Elko Independent records
dissatisfaction in its home town over
the failure of the proper authorities
to make the appointment of Nels
Ouderkirk to the position of prohi-
bition law enforcement officer for
Elko county. 1t is rumored that
strong pressure has been brought to
bear by the Elko county bootleg
ging element to thwart the ap-
pointment so earnestly desired by
the better class of residents.

PARADISE NEWS
THAT INTERESTS
ESPECIAL CONSEQUENCE

PARADISE VALLEY, FeD. H.
The stage failed to arrive in Para
disc on Saturday on account of the
storm which began Friday noon and
ragged until Saturday afternoon.
Stage Driver Freemonth described
his trip on Saturday as one of the
hardest he had ever attempted. He
was finally stalled below the Gray
son ranch and walked to the ranch
with the mail, arriving nearly ex-
hausted. He spent the night there
and next morning w. H. Abel helped
him through the worst of the drifts
with team, so he was able to bring
the mail in about noon Sunday.
Sunday the road was broken by
the four-ton G.M.C. truck from the
Haviland garage, which brought up
the remains of A. Pasquale, several
cars following, so that now the trip
can be made in about three hours.
1t took the truck five hours and it
was towed about two miles by
teams.
Many who were out in the biz
zard report it the worst ever ex-
perienced in this vicinity. It is re-
ported that the fences in the Han
son lane can be ridden over, the
drifts are so high, and frozen. As
usual low temperatures followed
the storm. F. C. Buckingham, who
has charge of the government Their
mometer, reports IA degrees below
zero Sunday night and 10 below

nemucca had charge. Mass was
said at II am. and from then un-
til the funeral hour the townspeople
were given an opportunity to view
the remains. After short service

family plot at the I.O.O.F. ceme-
terry. The pallbearers were Steve
Ferraro, John Forgnone, Jack Forg-
none, Irwin Case, j. P. Riley and
Mr.. Bilbao. In addition to the rela-
tives of the deceased, ]. A. Lang
with and Joe and G. Peraldo were
up from Winnemucca to attend the
funeral.

PLAYERS FORMING
! UNION TO BETTER
GAME CONDITIONS
National League Leads
Work of Forming Union
But to Accept Others
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Lenked Wire

NEW YORK, Oct. 3l.-Oneh undred
aud thirty six of the one hundred and
seventy five players in the National
League have joined the new baseball
players union.
Six of the eight clubs in the league
New York, Cincinnati, Boston,
Brooklyn, Philadelphia and st. Louis,
have joined almost to a man. Twenty
one members Of the Champion Gihnts
have enrolled with the consent and
approval of Manager John McGraw
Nominations have been made for Of
ficers and acceptance has been re-
ceived from several of the most pro-
minent players in the league. The
nominations will be made public soon.
The bylaws adopted prescribe that
the Officers and the members must be
players actively engaged il the sport.
No American League clubs are rep,
resented. Their players have not been
solicited, but applications for member
ships will be accepted. z
These high spots in the development
oft he organization were discussed to
the United Press today by Raymond D..
Cannon, Milwaukee attorney, who was
retained by the players as counsel to
form the organization.
"From the outset we have stated
that the organization was not formed
to wage war on the club owners and
that it had no specific demands at
present. Cannon said. "None of. the
particular demands of which the club
owners are charging us have been made
and very likely they will not be made
in the near future.
"The prime motive for the forma-
ton of the organization was the bet

advancement of the sport and the pro-
tea1ion of the players against the
great financial interests that own the

FEW CHANGES MADE IN B. B. LEADERS

too are being placed on the market by
the dopesters, although George Grant
stoutlv maintains that he has no
thought of disposing of his interests IN
the National League club.
Watching the Cincinnati Reds get
somthing for Eddie Roush will be one
of the features of the winter league.
1t is not certain the Reds will decide
to dispose of their star Outfielder, but
if Garry Hermann can find anyone who
agrees wit his idea of the player 3
worth, q trade is almost sure.
1t is reported around Cincinnati that
three-cornered deal is. in the air by
which Lee Meadows will go from the
Phils to the Reds.
With Meadows on the pitching staff,
the Reds would be a big factor in the
, next pennant race, as it looks like
there will be plenty even without him.
No winter would be complete without
gossip about a third league and the
coming winter is already complete.
Instead of an outlaw league spring
up to fight organized baseball, it is
now reported that the present major
league club owners are thinking OF
starting another league themselves,
with teams in the cities that are now
supporting only one club such as Cleve-
land, Cincinnati, Brooklyn, Pittsburgh
and Detroit.
From a business standpoint it looks
! like such a league would be success,
because all the points named as well
as several other larger cities not on
big circuit now, are large enough to
support two teams.
| The big question is to get the play
ers. The National and American
Leagues are now about One-third filled
with minor league players and it would
be difficult to find 200 players to start
a new league going on major league
| lines.

All the Wit of Jew

This comedy which has attracted
crowds in Los Angeles for "a weeks was

A play full of typicaI wit of both

| unites nm Irish and Jewish family in
the marriage Of the jewish son and
the Irish daughter.
| The scene is east in New York where
Solomon Levy and his SON. Abraham,

Able, as the Jewish son is called, is
married secretly to an Irish girl from
California by Methodist minister.
| The problem of keeping Able s Jewish
| father and Rose Mary's Irish Catholic
father from knowing of the marriage
| is the test for the couple.
| At the home of Abie's father where
the young man takes his bride and
| introduces her as Miss Murphyski to
stop the suspicious of his father, who
hates the Irish, is the scene Of the
first and second acts.

from both fathers but Abie's father
insists that since his son and Miss
Murphyski are so much in love, they
be married, and the Rabbi is called.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3l.-Very few,
changes in the managerial ranks are
expected for the opening of the 1923
baseball season.
Numerous deals in players report
ed in the usual flock of rumors that
spring up after the worlds series, but
so far only one switch has been MADE
among the managers.
George Stallings is to succeed Irving
(Kaiser) Wilhelm as the pilot of the
Philadelphia Nationals and that is con-
sidered of importance only in Philadel-
phia.
Stallings is to succeed Irving (Kais-

ed of importance only in Philadelphia.
Stallings is the subject of sympathy
rather than of congratulations for get
ting out of the International League
on such a hopeless mission of making
something out of the Phils.
Miller Higgins was considered an
uncertain quantity through the final
drive of the American League pen
nant race and after the world s series,
but he was one of the first to be re-
engaged for the coming season.
