FAME RECALLED
Death OF Famous sluggor
erings to Mind He
Many Fsats
CHICK eALLoWAy's SUCCESS
Old Sam Thomson Is dead !

Il
The idol Of another generation OF
baseball fans has made his final ses.
ture TO those who applauded him and
passed into the beyond. |
Many wonderful hitters have held
the spotlight since baseball graduated
from its infancy. From the days OF
Cap Anson to the current ones OF BABE
Ruth there has never beep.a year when
some man did not stand out as the
whaling mammoth Of the crowd.
For sheer murderous hitting power
Thompson never conceded first place to
any Of them. Yet the competition was
terrific. In his day Anson, King Kelly,
Roger Connor. Brouthers. Pete Brown.
ing, Jimmy Ryan and score of other
emperors of swat were In the zenith OF
their careers.
But ask any Of the told timers who
was the hardest hitter Of them all. Over
the stretch Of baseball history one can
point to few with the dynamic power
that lay in Sam Thompson's muscular
arms and shoulders. \ Delehanty: a
others. There were some who compiled
higher batting averages, though Sam
needed to bow his head to few even
there. Twice he batted over 400. and
when he laid aside his bat for good and
all his major. league average for four.
teen years topped the 400 mark.
Some had higher averages. but none
hit more savagely. In ThOmpson's day
there were no plethora Of home runs
such ns has been common during the
last few years. Yet he crashed out 127
OF them during his career. q.
Among the more modern National
1.eaguers only Honus Wagner and
Gnvvy Cravath we're able to pass tho
100 mark in home runs. which is an
excellent indication Of how hard Sam
Thompson pronged' the leather.

COMPETE
FOR SHIPPING ON
HISTORIC DANUBE
Fragments of Old Hapsburg
Empire Display Keen
Rivalry for Business.

Prague. - Correspondence of The
Associated Press.)-Keen rivalry for
predominance in the Danube shipping
is developing among the three land
locked fragments of the dismembered
Hapsburg empire-Austria, Czecho-
slovakia and Hungary. The Danube
river is their sea. and port facilities
mean traffic and national income.
Hence n form of their competition
is to build up their respective ports
Vienna, Pressburg (now called Brat
~islava) and Budapest. situated close to
each other on a bend of the river.
With the prospect of a connecting
canal system between the Danube and
the Rhine through Bavarian enterprise,
the Danube is coming to be regarded
here as the greatest artery of trade in
Europe of tomorrow and the British
were aware of this when they founded
their river syndicate.
The first struggle between the three

ago. he filled the pulpit of one of the
largest churches in Minot. \. D. Be-
sides being dean of the Montana state
institute, DR.. Clifford served last year
as dean of two smaller institutes IN
other states.
Recreation is his hobby. and he is
always genially directing recreation for
everyone. seeing that they have a good
time. and, if appearances are to be
believed. having one himself. A leader
on all hikes. an inspirational teacher
and always a delightful speaker, the
Montana institutes can attribute much
of their success directly 10 the per-
sonality and u~ntiring efforts of Dean
Clifford.
Bishop Burns
Charles Wesley Burns. bishop Of
the Helena area of the Methodist Epis-
copal church. is honoring the institute
with his presence. Besides delivering
the Independence day Grafton, Bishop
Burns is scheduled on the programs as
one of the men to furnish inspiration.
1t is the case wherever he goes-his
words and his presence are inspiring.
President Lewis
Vernon f. Lewis, state senator Of
Chouteau county. president of the
state league. is a busy man these days.
The experience. Of course, is nothing
new to the senator. He is usually
busy. and he has had experience in
past years at the institute. As chair
man of the business meetings, presi-
dent and therefore general head of
the league. he always finds enough to
do. Driving tent pegs for those in
need of help, giving advice when re-
quested. entertaining the faculty in
odd moments. are but a few of the
many little things that he finds to oc-
cup any stray moments that might
otherwise be u~naccounted for.

NEW PRISON HONOR

Battle Creek, Mich.-fCorerspond-
ence of The Associated Press.)-un-
guarded, and with but one restriction,
As ''honor men, from the Michigan
state penitentiary at Jackson are be-
ing given their "big chance" at Camp
Custer. near here.
The men are engaged in building an
addition to the American Legion hos
pital at Custer. They are to be en-
gagged there for the remainder of the
summer as workmen. not as convlcts,
and if. when the work has been finished
they have justified the confidence
placed in them. they will be paroled
and walk for all time from under the
shadow of the prison. despite the fact
that many of them still have several
years to serve, according to their COM
mitment papers.
The plan is an experiment IN prison
honor that is described by p~enalogists
as one of the most remarkable on rec
ord. Soon the 4S are to be joined by
40 others from the cell blocks at Jack
son.
These men have been permitted to
come here unattended and to work
their way to freedom merely by doing
a good days work every week day
for the remainder of the summer and
by remaining on the camp reservation.
To date but one violation has been re-
corded after nearly a month of the ex-
pertinent. One prisoner violated the
parole and has disappeared. The re-
manning men have formed an organic
alton. with it's distinct cOurt system.
and nave sworn to each other that
they will not break the faith.
Some of the men at Custer declared
on their arrival that this was the first
time in years that they had slept out
side of the cell blocks. A large per-
centage of them are being given an
opportunity to shorten their sentences
by years.
Each of the workers receives a daily
wage, the money being sent to the
prison officials. Men making good will
receive this money when they have
fulfilled their part of the honor con-
tract.
The experiment is being tried at the
suggestion of Harry L. Hubert, war
den of Jackson prison.

The stories are more interesting for
the manner in which they are recordeo

due to the fact that the Indians were

American Women's Preference

Washington. p. C.-CCorrespond-
ence of The Associated Press.)-
China's export pigtail industry is
threatened by the preference of Amer
lean women for double hair nets, ac-
cording to a report to the commerce
department from Consul Gauss at
Tsinan.
Manufacture of double hair nets, the
report said, threatens to reduce the
human hair net business very much, as
the double net long outwears the single
net and advices in China indicate that
an association of hair net importers
has been formed in the United States,
one of its objects being to discourage
the making of double nets. 1t is esti-
mated. the report added. that unless
the double net is driven off the market
the hair net business in China will de
cline by % or so per cent.
at is UNDERSTOOD the report said.
that no definite agreement has been
reached to give up the importation Of
double nets. but. after consultation
with the Chinese legation at Washing
ton. the proposal was made TO estab-
lish a hair net guild in China. which.
realizing the effect of the double net
manufacture on the industry. would
undertake to discourage the manufac-
ture of double nets"
