COUNTY BASE BALL

Reedsville has taken the initiative in
organizing an inter-county baseball
league with teams from Manitowoc and
Calumet counties. There was a meet
ing at Reedsville Monday at which the
matter was tentatively decided on and
approaches will be made to the teams
that would be likely to help make a
strong organization. Although the list
is not definite the teams that are quite
sure to be asked to come in are the
Aluminium Goods team and one or
more other teams from ManitowOc,
Chiffon, New Holstein, Hilbert, Bril-
lion, Reedsville, kellnersville and Val
ders. Ii is probable that call will be
issued to representatives of the various
teams to meet and talk the matter over
and get an organization under way.
The fans would like to see a strong
county or bi-county ball league organ
ized as real contests between strong
amateur or semi-pro teams really rep
resenting their communities are at least
as interesting to the ordinary fan as
the games of a team of salaried
strangers. The ReedSville meeting
elected Dale Andrews, Fred Bergman
and Arthur Ottelein as officers of their
organization.

private citizen after IL years as a
United States judge for the northern
district of Illinois.
Starting Wednesday, the famous jur-
list, who recently resigned, will devote
his time to the position of baseball
commissioner.
Judge Landis swung through the first
part Of his final day on the bench in
characteristic fashion, disposing of
nearly dozen cases in typical Lands
manner, which once caused convicted
bootlegger to refer to him as that
white haired hell cat in federal court
and a pardoned youth to term him the
''whitest guy that ever talked to a
feller." He fined one man one cent
for tax lodging, because he SAID,
you've tried to be square, and slap
ped a $1,000 fine on the mans partner
because he hadn't played fair
Varied Callers Say Goodbye
In the afternoon the judge sat in
his chambers watching his personal
effects being carried away.
During an informal reception. hun
dreds of visitors from all walks OF life
came to clasp his hand. Bank .presi-
dents and society leaders mingled with
day laborers. and occasionally, tor
mer prisoner at the bar with whom the
Judge had been lenient.
Judge Lands showed the greatest
emotion when the federal building
newspapermen presented him with
signed testimonial wishing him luck:
saying that he was taking the life OF
the Joint away" and that they would
always remember him as an honest
to-God man, and judge with the right
kind of backbone
Swings Chair to Hide Tears
After reading it, the judge swung his
big chair around so the reporters could
not see him and when he turned back,
five minutes later, his checks and eyes
glistened with tears.
"Oh. he'll" he said. II can't thank
you fellows. We've been too good pals
and l just can't seem to talk, But

down in your heart how much | hate

Senator's differed over the signifi-
cance of the TWO roll calls as they

Tombs prison Tuesday. denying that
he had fleeced them out of nearly

his speculation.
This statement was in sharp con-
trast to one issued earlier in the day
by Assistant District Attorney Muir

dictated a confession that many OF the
charges against him were true and that
he and his wife had discussed suicide
as a possible way out Of their diff
culties.
Lost Cash Honestly, He Says
All the women who advanced him
money did 50. Lindsay's statement de-
clared, with full understanding that
it was to be used for stock speculation

money had been lost honestly"
Notwithstanding that he felt he was
