ORGANIZED UNION
OF BASEBALL men
Lift Players From Position of
"PaWns of the Club
Owner, Purpose.

Milwaukee. Wis, Aug. 17.-(By The
| Associated Press.)-A baseball players
union. designed for the announced pur-
pose of lifting the idols Of the diamond
from what is termed q position of
"pawns of the club owner" to an equal
status with the club owners so far as
matters affecting the players are con-
cerned. is nearing a complete organ
%ization. according to an announcement
Wednesday by Ray Cannon, attorney
and former baseball player.
Mr.. Cannon announced that he had
been retained by players on virtually
every major league club and on sew
eral minor league teams and that he
had already opened negotiations with
Samuel Gompers for backing by the
American Federation of Labor.
Gompers Impressed
non, was favorably impressed and
promised his support in any just cause.
"This union will not be organized
to engender dissent between club own
ers and Players" explained Mr.. Can
non. but if its purposes are carried
out it will bring permanent peace and
prevent discord. The player now is
merely the pawn of the club owner.
The M has the say about every
thing and the player sits back and
holds the sack. The plan of this union
is to give the player an equal voice
in all affairs affecting him-to give
the players an equal voice on a COM
mission with the league presidents.
viii Be Active Union
There is no attempt to create bit
terness in this move. Its sole object
is to give the ball players a square deal
throughout"
Mr.. Cannon said the proposed union
would differ from the old organization
formed by Dave Fultz in that it would
be a thoroughly organized movement
with backing of virtually all the
players.
1T will really be an active union
and not just an organization in name,"
he said.

SHORTER SEASON
WORRIES COACHES

New York, Aug. lin regard to
the suggested curtailment of the foot
ball season, a football coach expressed
the hope the other day that the faculty
will allot the players at least time
enough to learn the signals.
AS a matter of fact. preparation for
football does not take up as much
time as college oarsmen have to put in,
and there has been no clamor against
rowing as against football.
Preliminary football practice is es-
sential in hardening the players for a
wear and tear which comes with the
start of the season, and outside of the
faculty members it would be difficult to
find one football authority who would
approve Of sending men into football
games before they are in condition to
play. The coaches will oppose it.

OLYMPIC TEAM MEN GET MEDALS

The members Of the American
Olympic team recently received the big
bronze medals for competing at the
seventh Olympic games at Antwerp.
The prospective Olympic athletes are
now eagerly looking forward to re-
ceiving the medals from the next
Olympiad in 1924.
The national championships at New
ard in September will furnish a fairly
accurate estimate. of what the Amer
lean team will be in 1924. Present in
dications are that it will be stronger
than ever before.

WILD FISH FANGS
From the Chicago Herald and Examiner

From the chicago Herald and Examiner
A former society favorite of London, visit
ing in Labrador, is said to have been stolen
by the wild Fish Fang tribe of Eskimos and
carried off into the interior a wife for their
chief.
The Fish Fangs are peculiar people. Their
habitat is unknown and no member of the
tribe has ever been seen. An expedition I'M
der the direction of DR.. Cook, who discovered
the North Pole while scouting in the Brooklyn
navy yard, returned with pair of curling
tongs and a placard announcing that any MEM
Der of the tribe who failed to register ano
vote was derelict in his duties as citizen Be-
yond this no certain information regarding the
Fish Fangs has ever been collected.
Considerable excitement therefore Gre
ated when the secretary for Labradorian af
fairs, on being Intercepted in the English
House of Commons regarding the attitude of
the government toward the Fish Fangs, replied,
81 do not know"
Of only one thing we are sure. Judging by
some of the former London society favorites
who have come over here to speak, we incline
to the opinion that if the chief of the wild
Fish Fangs marries this one he will become
considerably wilder than before.

EDUCATION IN ALABAMA

The recent campaigns in behalf of higher
education In Alabama have had wonderfully
stimulating effect. They have opened the
eyes of the citizens of this state to the neces-
sity of adequately supporting colleges and uni
versities which complete the education of
young men and women. The time has passed
when the college graduate was regarded as
inefficient. That point Of view never was
justified by the facts, but it was widely held
Even now there are people who think that a
grammar school education is all boy girl
needs In equipment for the battles Of life;
that tho mere rudments or, at best, the foun-
dation Of an education, is sufficient to create
an intelligent and enlightened citizenship. IN
fortunately, in the past the state legislature
has been niggard In making appropriations
for our higher institutions of learning. As a
result Of that policy, higher education in Ala
bama has been, IL not neglected, at least
greatly retarded. Yet, in spite of these handi-
caps, the institutions have gone on with their
work and expanded SO rapidly that their equip
ment was outgrown years ago.
Alabama has been a backward state educa-
tionally, but 1t is SO no longer. tremen-
dous improvement has taken place in our pub
lie school system. There today in many
parts Of the state handsome school buildings
which would look well on the campus Of
large university. They represent in an I'M
pressive way the new idea in Alabama Of edu-
cations Importance to the welfare and pros
perity Of the state. A majority of Alabama's
citizens no longer believe that education is
sort Of necessary evil, something to be got
ten through with after a fashion for the sake
Of boys and girls, but not matter which
should take first rank In the states actlv1-
ties and In the minds Of the people.
The training given in the schools and col
leges of Alabama Is Of the utmost Importance
to its future growth and prosperity 1t takes
its proper place along with commerce and in
dustry as q powerful factor In developing the
states resources and building up greater
commonwealth. For this reason the higher
institutions Of learning In Alabama are doing
I great work for the state, in making education
possible for those Of slender means, and in
turning out young men and women who are
fitted by their superior training to become
leaders and builders.

In general, there is among democratic Jour
nails spirit of jubilation over the recovery
from the defeat of two years ago; in the in
dependent press a tendency to take a phlo-

of the returns; in the republican press there
is an attempt to explain what, even before

Argument Praised
ON READING
From the Ohio State journal.

From the Ohio State journal
Christopher Morley, speaking of reading,
says: Occasionally, in burst of honesty.
and among friends who can keep the horrld
gecret-we make some confessions about what
we have never read. By keeping up pretty
vigorous rumble about what we have read,
some of us, quite falsely (and, indeed, without
any sincere attempt to be dishonesty, get q
reputation for being great readers" And what
a lot of US there are who are doing the same
thing And just why is it that we hesitate to
confess ignorance of book, particularly re-
cent novel? Is it not more reasonable, more
''literary," if you like, to choose ones own
reading than to be pushed into it, as it were,
by the queries of your superior friends?
"Have you read Rabbit? What, you
haven't? We'll, you must" Why must we?
Why should we read anything that we do not
feel is good for our souls at the time? Besides,
what's the hurry? If "Babbit' or "This Free
DOM or "Cytherea" and the others are as as
good as their admirers claim, won't they be
Just as good year from now, when we may
have had time to get around to them? And
if they aren't expected to keep well that long,
why read them at all?
Of course there is the element of timeliness,
but then there are all the books that defy time,
and we've hardly commenced on those yet.
