Bill MckechnIe.

rates. Williamsburg Bill" as he is
known among his many admirers, is a
great asset to a major league team.
He is good mixer and inspires the
winning spirit which helps to keep up
the morale of the team
Few really know the value of Nc
Kecbnie to the Pirates. He is well
liked by the athletes and everyone
speaks highly of him. The wilkins
burg citizen has thorough knowledge
of the national game.
Though never a star, McKechnie
was considered one of the SmarteSt
third basemen in the National
league a few years back. He was never
a 300 clOuter, but was always dan
gerous at critical stage. 1t was Bills
fielding that won much praise FOR him.
AS he is a defensive man, he ranked
with Byrne, Groh and a few others of
note. In handling hunts he was ever
lastingly on the job.
Only last season McKechnie played
third base for the Buccaneers. He
did not stay throughout the year, for
he was released to the Minneapolis
club of the American association. He
proved he was far from a "hasbeen''
with the Millers He was a big factor
in their success in 1921. He batted
we'll over 800.
1t was former Manager GibsOn's in
tention to inject McKechnie into the
lineup early in the spring should Tray
nor or Barnhardt fail to come up TO
expectations. Both of the young In
fielders have more than made good.

HUMOR OF MORIARTY

There are some people who
insist that umpireS are not hu-
man, have no sense of humOr.
The following bit of repartee
is offered in rebuttal of such a
belief.
During a recent series in st.
Louis a friend of Umpire George
MOriarty invited him down to
the Missouri Athletic club to
enjoy a swim.
Now it so happens that Mo-
riarty, despite the fact that he
is an all-arOund athlete, is I'M
able to swim.
After thanking his friend for
the kind invitation and express
ing his regrets at being unable
to accept because of a previous
engagement he remarked:
perhaps it is just as well,
because | swim like paralysis"
How is that?" asked the
much-puzzled friend.
Zone stroke and I'm through"
answered MOriarty.

Boss of Seattle Club Complains About
New Rubber-Center Spheres
Adopted This Year.

Seattle club of the Pacific Coast

plain about the new rubber-center
baseballs, which have been adopted for
this year. Last year the league used
a ball with a cork center, but this
was thrown out as being too lively.
These balls are not exactly fitted for
our purpose" McCreedie said. May
be we haven't the best grade of ball
or maybe the skinned diamond is to
blame. The balls seem bigger and

SAYS INITIATION IS RESPONSIBLE
 FOR SLUMP

LONDON, Jan. 24.-"The evils of imitation and disorganized exchanges have created an almost uniform monotony of distress. On the one hand we have countries whose de- preciated fluctuated currencies make foreign trade almost impossible, while on the other hand there are the rela- lively stable countries who are suf- fering almost equally through the shutting down of normal markets"
 That is how Viscount Churchill de- scribed the financial situation of Eu- rope at a meeting of the sharehold- CTS of the British Overseas Bank.
 "The result of all this" he said "has been a drop in prices, and par ticu1arly a discrepancy between the prices of raw materials and finished products which has had disastrous consequences.
 GAS always in these times of crisis bankers have to stand as buffer between their clients and the full force of the depression
 The bank has many connections with Poland, as had many other banking concerns in Great Britain, and in his mournful chant on the dis tressful conditions in Poland, Lord Churchill was voicing the complaints of bankers on the whole.
 "Conditions in Poland continue to be unsatisfactory" he continued. "In spite of the real efforts towards re- form which have been recently made by the government finances have continued to shrink further into the morass produced by heavy eXpendi- ture. insufficient revenue and conse- quently rapidly increased imitation.
 "This particular phase has to be regretted, as within the country itself substantial progress has been made during the last twelve months
 Before Poland can be pulled to- gether the problems of pruning down bureaucracy and militarism and of in creasing the efficiency of the tax col lecting will have to be solved. Given a form of government finance they might rely with confidence on the energy of the agricultural and indus trial sections of the country to re- store prosperity to Poland"

St. Louis Woman Gets Decoration
 For Civic Work k

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 24.-Mrs. Lou o. Hooker, of No 39 Portland place, St. Louis, is the first woman in this country to be officially decorat- ed by her city for civic benefits she has rendered. Mrs. Hooker was the recipient recently of beautiful gold medal from St. Louis city authorities in appreciation of work she has done in starting baby clinics in con- gested sections; putting scales in the schools to determine children'S weight and other civic measures she has undertaken. Interest is added by the fact that Mrs. Hooker has three sturdy sons of her own and is the wife of one of the most successful at torneys in St. Louis. She is only in her early thirties.
 She is college graduate and the ordinary social glitter does not at tract her. although she is favorite socially. She has brilliant artistic dhu IS dCIife III tuc WOI ol the St. Louis Art League, but her chief interest is in the work of the baby clinics. Several years ago when St. Louis had no clinics she collected money from rich friends and started the work in a small way. It has grown now to stupendous size, and the city and Red Cross have taken over the clinics and more are being proposed As a result of this St. Louis boasts the best baby welfare work and record in the country.
 Mrs. Hooker also collected money and started the work in the public schools in finding out who the under nourished children were and why As a result community kitchens have been established in many school dis tricts.
 Since receiving medal Mrs. Hooker has been gueA of honor of many mems organizations in St. Louis.

CANADA SOLVES PROBLEM OF
 RAILWAYS

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 24. Hon. J. A. Stewart. minister of railways and canals, thinks government con- trol of railways in Canada is a solved problem.
 President D. B. Hanna has an- nounced the Canadian National Rail- ways passed momentous milepost in August when they achieved the first paying month in their history.
 With the bumper crop of western Canada beginning to move eastward in September, the final four months of the year promises to be an even more prosperous period in the roads affairs.
 MT. Stewart believes. with Presi- dent Hanna's system of rigid econo- my functioning throughout the sys- tenn, the government roads will go on to splendid success and demonstrate to the satisfaction of the most skep- tical element of the public the wis., dom of government ownership.
 President Hanna's statement" said MT. Stewart. means that a deficit for August, 1920, amounting to $4,OO0,OOO has been transformed into a surplus of $47,231 for August, 1921. The gross earnings for August, 1921. were $1O,536,461, as compared with $10,065,918 for August 1920, an increase of $470543 The working expenses for August last were $10,- 489,230, as compared with $14,067,- 237 for August, 1920, indicating a re- duction of about four million dollars in operating expenses.
 Another fact that should be noted is that President Hannas statement, while including the Grand Trunk Pa cific, which is being operated by the Canadian National management, does not include the Grand Trunk which, for the time being. is under separate control and operated in CO., ordination with the, government lines. I am informed that net rev. enue from railways operation of the Grand Trunk for the eight months ended August 31 last was s3,403, ,61O, as compared with S1,629636 for the corresponding period last year. while the net revenue for August alone was $1,91O994.
 "The fact that the government lines are making a much better show ing than during the corresponding period last year should serve to dis sipate some of the pessmism which surrounds the discussion of Canada s railway situation"

NIOVXIZ>~T

One of the best programs shown was shown last evening. The comedy aviation picture was a dandy and the drama "The Furnace" was de- clared by everybody splendid. This program will be shown this even- ing for the last time. Tomorrow the big nine-reel special "Kismet," played by Otis Skinner assisted by Herschell Mayall (well known here in Cordova) Elinor Fair, Leon Barry, Robert Evans, Rosemary Theby and a host of other stars.
 If you have ever wondered at the content of ladies of the harem, you will cease wondering when you see the harem scene in the Robertson Cole production of "Kismet."
 Nothing approaching the grandeur of this setting has even been at temped in motion pictures before. Dazzling in it's coloring from the most delicate pinks, azure and blue to the deepest purple; rich in design of arched doorways and latticed win dows through which may be glimpsed the setting sun, it is as impressive as painting by master hand.
 Scores of the most beautiful girls in the motion picture colony, many of them famous artists models, were used in the harem scene, where is enacted one of the most dramatic episodes in "Kismet."

Schneider's story TALES with

Kaufman left them then, he
said. but he and Hayes determined
to follow on, Hayes showing him

him there was no danger.
Hayes Bega nto Fire
Suddenly, he said. they saw a
couple beneath the crab apple tree
and Hayes whipped out his pistol
and began to fire, exclaiming,
There they are--I'll fix them!"
After the struggles OF the pair
beneath the tree we're stilled, he
said, he stole forward, struck a
match and cried to Hayes:
my God men, you've made n

Hayes then snatched the minis
ter's watch and they both fled, he
declared.
Schneider was quoted as telling
the authorities he had taken Pearl
to the scene on Saturday--two days
after the shooting-partly out Of
morbid curiosity and partly because
he wanted to show her how nearly
she had come to being slain. 1t was
Schneider and Pearl who first dis

Pearls version to reporters today
was somewhat different.
Raymond saw me Saturday and
insisted that we take a walk" she
said. "He took me up DeRussy's
lane, 1t was the first time we had
ever been up that way. We sat down
in the grass near the apple tree to
talk. / looked over and saw the
bodies, and said to Raymond:
There are two people lying down.
"'Why don't you attend to your
own business he replied.
"Then I walked over and saw
they were all bloody and ran away
frightened. Then we told police
man."
The girl said Schneider had APP
peared worried ever since the
shooting and on two occasions had
asked her to go to Perth Amboy
with him.
Then apropos nothing, she in
quired: "Did you know Raymond
had a pearl handled knife in his
pocket that night?"
Shows Reporters Note
Pearl also showed reporters a
note she said she had received from
Schneiders young wife on the Mon
