BIG LEAGUE DOPE

New York, May 31.-Babe Ruth's
second home run of the season, IT,
inning struggle in which st. Louis
>vanquished Detroit 2 to l and bat
ting orgy by the New York and Phil
adelphia National League teams, sur
passing the most hectic of the years
Clouting eXploitj-these were the high
lights of 16 games in the major
leagues.
Outside of the ST. Louis Cardinals,
who fell twice before Chicago, all
the chief contenders divided their mol
iday program thus preventing any
marked upsets in the races. Washing
ton and Chicago in the American and
Brooklyn and the Cubs in the Ma
tional, were the only clubs to profit
by double victories.
The Giants pounded out 43 hits for
"a runs but were only able to split
even with the Fhillies, slaughterng
the offerings Of five pitchers i'll the
second game to win 49,, after drop
ping the morning contest, 9-3, when
the Quakers came from behind to tie
the score on Parkinson's home run in
the ninth and won in the tenth. Two
home runs apiece by. Emil Muesel, OF
the Giants and Lee, OF the Phlllies in
the afternoon and 1G doubles in the
two games, were among ensluggins
epics. Waite IIoyt twirled the yam
KEGS to victory in the morning but the
Athletics made it an even break by
winning the second game despite hon.
ers by Ward and Ruth.
Detroit, despite the loss of its sus-
pended manager, Ty Cobb, and star
slugger, Harry Heilmann, gave st.
Louis real battle, winning the first
and losing the second game in 16 in
nings, after a thrilling duel between
Oldham and ShOcker. Two recruits,
burst and Collins, accounted for the
Browns winning tally in the longest
extra inning game of the season.
Peckinpaugh spectacular fielding
in handling 10 chances perfectly in
two games, was factor in Washing
toms double victory over the Red SoX,
whose ragged defense contributed TO
their downfall, while the White Sox
also took pair from Cleveland, Lev
erqett banking Speakers tribe in the
first, while Faber's rescue pitching
saved the second.
Good pitching by Dutch Reuther,
who won his ninth and Dazzy Vance,
coupled with hard hitting. gave Brook
Ign two victories over Brooklyn,
Vance setting a strike out record for
the season by whiting 10 Braves.
Sterling's box work also was respon-
sible for the Cubs double triumph,
Aldridge defeating the ST. Louis ace,
Doak, while Stueland in his first
start, held the hard hitting Cardinals
to four hits in the other.
Sensational fielding helped the Pi-
rates to take the afternoon game from
Cincinnati after five pitchers had
failed to stop the larruping Reds in
the morning game.

COLUMBUS TO CHOOSE NEW
CITY MANAGER LATE TODAY

Columbus, Ga, May 31.-Selection
of a city manager to take the posi-
tion left vacant by the recent dis
charge of H. Gordon Hinkle, of Al
toOna, Pa, who held the Office since
the commission form of government
took over the affairs of the city, prob
ably will be made at a meeting OF the
commissioners late today.
No intimation of whom the commits
sioner5 had under consideration for
the position was made by the meet
ing but it is highly probable that J.
d. Key, chairman of the county COM
mission, president of one of the lare-
est banks in the acity, whose name is
suggested in a letter to the mayor
from an accounting firm, was to be
placed before the body. The sug-
gestion of the auditors is for the
consolidation of two positions-city
and county manager with u salary of
$4,000 per year.
1t is understood that there are many
applications for the place of city
manager, which carries witn-ft sal
airy of $4,000 year. b.
City and county officials are going
about their work as usual today and
have begun a more Jealous search for
clues as to the party or parties re-
sponsible for the sending of anony-
nous letters to the local authorities
Chief j. NJ. Huling of the county po-
lice and Deputy Sheriff G. c. Layfield,
who were warned in letters given out
yesterday, apparently are not dis
turbed by their contents.

lTlDuUc.)
81 Decoration Day at Plant Field was
celebrated in a highly satisfactory
manner the Tampa Smokers taking
to l game with much ease and
dispatch. The Highlanders, who rail
roaded over more or less tiuke
shutout Monday, were ali on the job
yesterday but the days significance
was lost on their coarse natures and
they failed to observe the holiday in
true festive spirit
As for the Smokers, they fitted in
with the day in right pleasing fashion.
Early as the celebrating uf the day
started, with the burning OF the south
west threC-fourths OF the south one
half OF the grand5tand, the Smokers
held up their share OF the days do-
,ings by hammering one Smythe out
OF the box in the third frame and
Treating his successor, Bugs" l1ry
in much the same manner, although
permitting him to 90 the route.
The LeaChmen had quite Il bit Of
fun in their half OF the first frame
In fact the fun was duplicated in its
nature during various, though not so
apparent times throughout the game.
The fun in question was the scoring
Of two runs and the accommodating OF
three hits on five pitched balls. Lord
Nelson Leach, lead-Off man, took Il
swipe at the first ball thrown b.
SuAythe. The swipe in question re-
'Sullcd in a hit to Left. Brown stepped
up next and ne too, polod uut a single,
Strengthening the balls progress
through center. Robert Ingeraoll
Lightfoot did the identical stunt and
operated upon the first ball thrown.
LightfOOt's contribution was sacri-
flee which put Leach on third and
Brown on second. Heinie. who, by the
way, batted 4 thousand Que Of four
times up, got his first single of the
day and by directing it out toward
right brought in both Leach and
Brown. Tilton hit the first one
thrown at him but Tillie played into
a double along with Heinie and the
inning was over.
AS can easily be guessed, that in
ming made a real hit in the solid
norton OF the blackened stand. the
fence and the sand blaachers. TO
make the thing lots better the High.
landers had failed 10 score as is their
wont. in the first, SO that lead looked
mighty good. As far as the scoring
of the HighlInders is concerned their
line marker came forth not until the
fifth inning. Jordan, first man up,
glued one to the clouds which went
for the triple of the day A sacrifice
fly by Smith brought him III and that
tells that.

RURAL PROGRESS

Some people doubt if the world at
large is making progress But no
one who looks back at the country
life of previous years can doubt that
the rural sections of the country are
making remarkable gains
Rural schools, for instance, have
enormously ;mprovei- Instead OF
giving young people an education
that unrelated to their needs and
environment, they teach young people
how to make good in country life
Farming has gained tremendously
in these past years The farmers
have gotten over the old contempt for
scientific agriculture and are doing
their bes, to learn the new methods
Machinery is everywhere coming in
and making farm life .oilsome.
Country homes have enormously
improved. A great number of them
have pu. in the same improvements
that city people enjoy, and most OF
them have done something in the way
Of labor saving devices. Rural
prosperity in spite of the recent diff,
ficuities caused by the back wash OF
the war is far more general
Automobiles have linked up country
life with the towns. New co-opera
tive methods have brought prosperity
TO many previously depressed produc,
erz. So one could go through every
phase Of rural life and show how

A BOYS PECULIARITlES

If you want to wreck Ju1esburg
boys life, force him to hold his baby
sister or brother for halt an hour each
day and he'll become broken in spirit
and will fade away and wither into
an invalid beyond cure. If the young
fellow is not imposed on in this man.
ner he will grow and develop into a
strong, healthy man, and when grown
can sit and hold ON his lap for hours
without firing, a girl weighing all the
way from 100 to 180 pounds. 1t is
strange. but it is so, and we can quote
number of instances to prove that
the theory is correct. A boy can run
all day while at play, travel for miles
and never think about being tired
But it is awful punishment to require
him to run two blocks on an errand
We once knew a young man who
walked seventeen miles to see his girl
but he couldn't stand it to follow a
plow two hours. Another young fel-
low walked four miles across fields
to "hook" watermelons, but several
blocks was too far for him to walk to
church. Yes, sir-boys are certainly
peculiar.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1922-12-28
TALK AND ACTION

The American people are given a
tremendous lot of instruction in these
days. Considering how much good
talk is poured into their ears. evils
and bad conditions ought TO be re-
moved.
The countless clubs and societies of
women, in innumerable gatherings of
men, useful addresses are given on
public welfare and community I'M
provemen: and business progress. by
social workers, business leaders. pro-
moters of civic causes. etc. Most of
this talk is good. People applaud it
and then go home and forget about it.
There sometimes seem to be too much
talk and too little action.
The effor. TO promote civic pro-
gress is hampered by the fact that =
good many people do not seem to take
much interest in such subjects. They
are engrossed with their own affairs.
driven by work and the pressure of
life, and some of them trit:er their
time away in idle pursuits They do
not belong to clubs or associations
that consider public problems much,
and they frequently entertain pre-
JUDGES against modern ideas
This condition of Indifference calls

THE NEW YEAR

Here We are on the threshold OF
another year, with q heart firm IN its
conviction that there is still room
for improvement in both ourselves
and the conditions that surround US.
Possibly there will be made by
Julesburg people the usual number Of
Whist we call good resolutions
Others will be content to "let well
enough alone" Some few will ignore
entirely an opportunity to check up
slide by another chance TO make life
. little brighter both for themselves
and those about them. Good resoiu-
tions are all right, and We believe in
encouraging them. But always a
good resolution should not be self.
ish one-it should include our neigh
hors. Resolving to look more close
~ after the little things this year
than you did last will be a sensible
resolution. Dropping in for mo-
ment to inquire about the condition
Of sick friend, or to ask if you can
be Of service-that is one Of the lit
tie things that makes ether lives as
we'll Is your own brighter. Speaking
. kindly word to the younng man OF
woman who is starting out on hfe's
hing road; smile for the aged and
. friendly pat on the back for the
nan who is passing through sor-
rew-you couldn't make wiser reso-
luton than to resolve that you will
look more closely after these little
things during the year 1923.
Maybe everything won, be just as
you would like to have it. Maybe
things won't turn out exactly as you
would like So resolve now that if
you do encounter obstacles you will
use every honest effort to set them
right, that you will be fair and hon.
est with yourself, and that you will
not let encouragement sour you To-

POLITICAL DISHONESTY

While political reform is a slow
process, and Ii takes years to remove
| abuses, yet on the whole politics
seems cleaner than il used to. Some
people of course claim that politicians
usually daoble more or less in graft.
But the people who come closest In
touch with political life do not be-
lieye that.
Probably the number of crooked of
flee holders is far less tin many
people think. The great majority OF
men who get elected to public posi-
,ions seem TO be well meaning and
act as if they were trying to 90 the
best they can according to their
lights.
Yet the results attained by popular
government are far from satisfac-
tory. If the peoples money is not
being stolen, it is slipping out in in
Vulnerable little leaks The whole
scheme Of politics is to blame, rather
than any direct dishonesty. Many
men who would scorn 10 be parties
to any form OF graft, yet will enter
into deals that are against public po-
Icy.
They regard politics as kind OF
game where one must Win by trades
and dickers. on sera.eh my back,
and I'll scratch yours" Is the nomei.
OLD phrase. These people will support
inferior candidates in order TO make
friends for themselves. They feel
that, folks who believe in business
methods in government are impracti-
cal idealistS.
The treat obstacle in the way OF
good government does not lie in di-
rect political graf, and corruption
The losses of the people through this
means are not great IN the aggregate.
The big loss comes from inefficient
government that results when politi-
clans put Incompetent men in office
in order TO gain allies for themselves
When government functions get into
such hands. public services cost more
and the taxpayers are burdened-

LEAVING THE FARMS

Many farmers and farmers sons
are leaving their homes and going u
the industrial centers, according to
the recent report of Secretary Wal
lace of the agriculture department.
He estimates that during recent
months twice as many people as usual
lef, the farms for city life.
Some people arguee that the great
ly increased use Of machinery on the
farms, has decreased the demand for
farm labor, enabling agriculture to
get along with fewer human hands
They also argue that the decreased
purchasing power Of Europe tends to
reduce the demand for food products
They say that the country is produc-
ing more food than it can sell, and Sc
certain proportion of farm workers
are forced to migrate.
The opposite view feels that with
great masses of population in Europe
suffering for food, ther should be no
danger Of there being too much OF
farm products. 1t feels that if the
costs of distribution could be cut down
more food stuffs would be sold, both
in this country and in Europe.
Country life is more healthful than
conditions in the more crowded Sec
tions OF the cities. The migration of
large population into industrial
neighborhoods, is apt to be followed
by lower scale of living. the peo-
pie who make this radical change
should do it with caution. They fire.
quently find they are jumping from
the frying pan into the fire. Condi-
tions on the farms may seem hard
just now. But when people get into
cities and find work more or less ir-
regular and prices for everything they
buy very high, they often regret their
change.
Country life performs certain
function in our social system, Great
ing forces that offset the more harm
full tendencies of cities. 1t is a ma
tional misfortune when rural districts
become dep0pulated.
