The American Legion is of the opinion that their membership con- prises some of the best baseball tal- ent in Polk county. Efforts are be- ing made to stage a game between the local post and the Mena High School, the game to be played Satur- day, March 25. The ex-serviee men realize that the High School has good material, and more practice, but they expect to not only use Legion mem oers in Mena, but any in Polk county. Sude Heath of Board Camp, star pitcher in 1921, Douglas Dover of Cove and other men who have shone in past baseball in the county will be secured to assist the soldiers. The contest will attract much interest. it IS felt, among the out-of-town visitors lnasmuch as many of the players will 5s ffoiii other communities.

HARDING
CONFERS
ON BONUS
President Spends Busy
Day In Conference
With House Leaders
On Proposed Bill

Washington, March 20.-Presi
dent Harding had three separate
engagements today with house
members to discuss the soldiers
bonus question. He was in con-
ference frs: with republican lead
ers who hoped to obtain execu-
tive approval Of their plan to put
through the compromise bonus
bill with the bank loan provision.
Later the president saw Speak
er Gillette, with whom rested the
decision as to suspension of the
rules for action on the bill today.
Following the speaker, Repre-
sentative Linberger of California,
a former service man, was on the
White House engagement list. Mr..
Linberger recently circulated
petition for conference of house
republicans for Tuesday night to
thrash out the whole bonus ques-
tion. He had obtained the neces-
sary number of signatures to as
sure a conference cell, but is de-
ferrfng presentation of the petit
tion to the chairman, Towner of
the house conference, in the hope
that the situation can be ironed
out without a general meeting.
House leaders calling on the
president are Representative Mon
dell, Wyoming; Chairman Ford
iey, Of the ways and means com
mittee; Chairman Campbell. of
the rules committee; Chairman
Fess, of the republican congress
sional committee; Chairman
Towner, of the party conference;
Representative Longworth of
Ohio, a member of both the ways
and means and republican steer
Ing committees, and Representa-
tive Mann of Illinois.
These leaders gave the presi-
dent first hand information as to
developments in the bonus situa-
tion while he was in Florida and
also explained the controverted
bank loan provision. They took up
also with Mr.. Harding the ques-
tfon of whether 1t was advisable
to pass the bill under suspension
OF the rules which would cut off
all amendments and preclude, any
motion to recommit the bill.

TIGERS TO
WORK FOR
PENNANT.
Ty Cobb Tells of Plans
to- Head Americans
In Baseball Battles
of 1922

Augusta, Ca, March 20.-Tht
Detroit Tigers are not claiming
the American League penant for
1922, but they will make trouble
aplenty for any club in Bar, John
sons organization. So speaks
Tyrus Raymond Cobb, the dyna-
mic manager of the Detroit team
in an interview at his home here.
The "Ty-ger" leader was not
given over to boastful predictions
for the coming season. Rather,
he declared, he will concentrate
his efforts to strengthen the team
in several departments and build
it into a formidable machine.
Second base and shortstop are
the main difficulties Cobb says he
is facing. Last year, he said, op-
position clubs punched holes
through the keystone of the in
field that lost many a ball game.
But he has strong hopes of plug
ging up these infield defects be-
fore the season opens.
'The Tigers should finish fifth
or BETTER" the Georgia Peach de-
clared. 1--WE have a very good
chance of finishing fourth or pos
sibly third. We are still unset
tied at second base and at short.
Last year III errors were made
at these positions, but if I can
get sme fairly good fielding at
second and short we will worry
any club in the league. l look for
in my young pitch
ers, and the club as whole will
be more settled in itsdefensive
play"
The boys are all imbued with |
the spirit to win, and any club
that expects to find the Tigers
easy picking is going to be handed |
a surprise, according to Cobb
Last year Pep" Young and a
by the name of Sargent
held down the positions of sec
ond base and short.
Cobb did not state whether he
contemplated any trades to siren
CITIZEN his team, but appeared sat
isfied with the prospects of the
club for the coming season.

The other night at the citizens

not. ] learned yesterday that that
