ONE HONEST CATCHER

Talk about rather playing
baseball than euting turkey.
How is this?
On June IL, 1912, when Yazoo
City was playing Columbus of
the Cotton States league and
the game had gotten as far as
the second inning, the catcher
of Columbus was hurt and there
was no one to take his place. 1t
was up to the catcher of the
Yazoo City nine to catch for
both teams. All the officials
agreed. 1t was a double-header
and both games went ten in
nings. This hero's name was
Taylor. He worked manfully
and energetically and although
his own team won both games
his picture never graced the
rogues' gallery. His vas an ex-
ample that's good to pattern
after. 2

SNAKES ARE GOLF AID

Blacksnakes are. being offered
every inducement to make q
comfortable home on the links
of the Coatesville (Pa.) Coun-
try club. Champions of the
reptile declare that 1t Is the
most efficient enemy of the
ground mole, which does SO
much damage to golf greens,
and the club officials have
started u campaign to protect
and foster the growth of the
blacksnake. Along the sides OF
the course the underbrush has
been allowed to grow thick, and
tempting rock piles with full
southern exposures have been
placed to lure the snake from
nearby lands. Not only does
the snake go right into the
mole's boring, but it is alleged
that 1t kills off rattlers and cop
perheads. 1t Is harmless, and
Is not likely to discomfort a
golfer by appearing silently, for
the snake does its wcrk at
night.

Hubert "Shucks' Pruet, twentyone- yearold University of Missouri
pitcher for the st. Louis Browns, who attracted attention by striking out
Babe Ruth three times, nce with the bases full, in the second game of the
recent series with New York, has proved himself q real nemesis of the noted
homerun king. "Shucks," who has famed Babe Ruth five times and walked
him n in six times at bat, possesses the famous "fade-away' ball that made
Chnsty Mathewson the worlds greatest pitcher, according to Manager Lee
Fohl
Foil said he believed that Pruetts "fadeaway' is superior to that of the
"Id MASTER" because "Shucks" throws with his lefth and-"Matty" a a
righthander-which gives the ball a peculiar reverse twist.
Two years ago "Shucks' applied % the Browns for a tyout, but received
this answer: 1--WE can't use kids" He "a sent to the Tulsa team Of the
Western league. and this spring the Browns gave him the coveted trial. Now.

SPORT NOTES

Tennis Is booming everywhere, even
though 1t has no Babe Ruth.
With boxers paid the same wages
whether they win or lose, the incentive
to do their best speaks, its own Ian

After carefully studying the methods

conscientious amateur goes back to

"There has been much talk in some
circles as to whether baseball is not
too much commercialized TO make it a
proper sport for colleges. l do not be-
lieve the game should be passed up
in the college on any such score. Base
ball is a scientific game. 1t trains the
mind of the player, gives him self
control and develops skill and cour-
age. What more does any other sport
do?"

BIG ANNUAL GOLFING EVENT
Florida-Pinehurst Team Match Will Be
Played Each Year-EstabIished
for All Time.

The Florida-Pinehurst team match
has come to stay. This is a certainty,
and it will be played each year as a
curtain-raiser to the North and South
Open. The event will always have to
be played at Pinehurst. unless some
course, such as Aiken or Cam

the event this year has established
the affair for all time, or as long as
golfers go to Florida. and others go
to Pinehurst for winter golf.

 ON STOCKHOLDERS
Boosts Working Hours During Con- vention to Have "A Busy
 Look"

The Winchester Co., aside from be- ing anti-union IS also up to other tricks as the following data given by one of it's employees this week would indicate:
 This company has been work ing on three day per week schedule for some time. .Announeement was made that a convention of their sales men and storekeepers, stockholders, etc., would be held here the week of June 20. Part of the convention pro- gram called for visits to factory Ito show just how products are made, " also to impress store keepers, stock holders that the plant was busy. Con sequently, notice was posted in the factory last week saying that new schedule would be in effect at the plant for this week as follows: Mon day and Tuesday, 10 hours; Wednes- day, Thursday and Friday, nine hours, and Saturday, five hours. Notice also said: "This notice must be taken down before a. m., Monday, June 2o." A fine way to impress and at the same time deceive the stockhold- CTS. The employees are glad to re- ceive the extra work and hope that they will not be laid off after the stockholder-delegat have left the city, but they all expect to return to the three-day per week schedule after the convention show Is over.

 COAL CONFERENCE
Operators and Strike Leaders Accept
 Harding Invitation.

Washington, June 3o.-With ac- ceptances reached from all the prin- cipals in the bituminous and anthra- cite coal fields, both on the opera tors and. the miners union side, off coil Washington has begun prepara- ton for the Saturday conference President Harding has called to con- sider a possible basis for resuming work in the mine fields. Both sides having accepted, question remained on only two points, first as to the
 identity of the individuals who would represent the employers of the unionizcd bituminous field, and sec ond, what would be the adminis- tration's plan for procedure after the meeting assembled.
 At the commerce and labor de- partments where officials have chief lv been occupied with the strike set clement plan, it was intimated that the union leaders and the operators would be expected to work out their own course after the conference as sembled President Harding was ex pected to bring the groups together, btu his engagements call for him to leave Washington immediately after, and 1t was expected that Secretaries Davis and Hoover would represent the government in the immediate negotiations.
