will say that is the policy which has

heart of the home plate. Those hitters
who have been taking the heart out
of the pitching, colony for a year or
two top the ball if it is dropping. Few
of them drive it well. But what has
become of the drop ball pitchers? Once
there were some who could throw an
in-drop ball.
Nobody Can Hit Drop
"How many of them can you name
now, especially of the right-hand pitch
ers? / never saw Burlington but they
told me about him when / was in Bos-
ton. He was a right-hand pitcher and
they. said he could drop the ball from
midway of the shoulder to the knee.
A pitcher like that against some of
these hitters would send them to the
bat factories in a hurry looking for
new weapons. They would lose their
grip. Look back and see what Schupp
did when he won the Giants cham
pionship in 1917. He was throwing a
drop that broke high and twisted below
the batter's knees. Nobody cauld hit
it, and nobody should be expected to
hit it. He didn't groove the ball. He
was too smart. He gave them the cor

COUNTY'S POOR,
COSTS JUMP UP
$4,000 IN 1922
Total Expenditures for Year
Ending June 80 to Be
$4,000 Said.

Expenditures in behalf of the county
poor will this year exceed by at least
$4,000 the amount expended in 1921.
according to County Auditor F. G.
Roosevelt. With the poor fund con-
tributing on an average of $1,000 a
month during the present fiscal year,
it is expected that more than $4,000
will be spent by the close of the year.
A total of $62,1S3.S5 was spent for
all poor purposes last year..
The nearly depleted poor fund was
bolstered up Friday, when the board
of county commissioners ordered $1O,-
900 transferred to it from the general
fund. With this amount to draw on
for the remainder Of the fiscal year.
which ends June 80, it is expected that
sufficient money will be on hand to
take care of calls until the fund is re-
plenished from the usual sources.
The number of calls for aid have
been slowly declining during the last
few months, according to Mr.. Roose-
welt, which he considers an indication
that the heads Of many needy families
have now found employment. Requests
for food, fuel and clothing. which are
the principal items furnished the poor,
have noticeably decreased. Other items,
such as hospital care. sanitarium ex-
penses, poor farm, orphans home, and
mothers pensions, are now calling for
less expenditures.

Special Correspondent Of The Great Falls Tribune.
Copyright. 1922. by The ;;reat Falls Tribune
New York, May 6.-'The strategy
of pitching will have to be revised
the observant Sam Jones of the New
York Americans pitching staff, who
is almost a veteran in these days of
pitchers who have not outgrown their
sailor collars, said today. Il nave had
enough personal experience and have
seen enough pitching on the part of
others in the last two seasons to con-
vince me that it is seldom safe to give
the man who carries the bat a pitched
ball in the groove"
Pitching in the groove means placing
the ball at a good batting height some
where near the center of the plate in
order that a base on balls may be
avoided.
Managers have always taught that
it is better for pitchers to make the
batter hit the ball than for the pitcher
to send the batter to first base on four
called balls, except now and then when
the situation seems to demand the
passing of a hard hitter.
MAKE 'em Hit"
MAKE 'em hit!' has been a man
agerial precept, sometimes to the ex-
clusion of almost everything else.
There have been managers whose
knowledge of playing the game did not
extend much beyond the border of
those three words.
IF a runner gets on the bases these
days, it is best to be careful about
giving the next batter a free swing at
a ball." says Jones.
There were a lot of pitchers who
we're clever on getting the batter in
the hole. / could do it myself and can
do it now il / am having a good day.
The theory was to pitch the first ball
for a sure strike and then worry the
batter. You were always one in adj
vance of him. You could afford to
groove at least one because it was a
gamble he would not swing. But if
you groove one now, the batters brace
their feet and knock it past your head
screeching like a whistle that has been
tied down. They don't want your base
on balls. They aren't afraid to swing
for they have found out that pitchers
are only pitchers after all and can
be hit"
us there any remedy from the
pitchers standpoint
Keep Ball on Corners
~ can't see any medicine in the
bottle if you're a grower. Don't groove
the ball unless by accident. That is
the only chance that occurs to me to
save the lodge of grand and amalaga-l

ClTY'S GROWTH
STEADY, MOVING
REPORTS SHOW
Transfers Indicate New Resi-
dents More Than Offset
Those Leaving.

Records on file at the police station
showing the transfers of household and
personal effects to and from the city
and from one address to another. re-
veal that the volume of out of the city
and incoming travel is virtually equal.
with the incoming travel having a
slight advantage. The records indicate
that Great Fails is slowly building I'D
its population.
Since the moving ordinance went into
effect on March %. reports of remov-
ais have been filed at the rate of %
a day. The reports up to the present
time number approximately 1000.
Transfer men. upon whom rests the re-
sponsibility of filing the reports, are
proving attentive to the provisions of
the ordinance and are turning accurate
accounts of the business transacted.
Only one arrest for violation of the
ordinance has been made since it be-
came effective.
Otto Bjornstad, chief jailer, who has
charge of the records, says that the
majority of transfers concern only per-
sonal effects such as trunks and suit
cases. Only a small number of the
reports show that household goods have
been removed. Considering the fact
that the bulk of the transfer business.
as shown by the records, is confined
To personal effects, most of the incOm-
ing and outgoing travel is being done
by individuals and not families. The
records do not show whether arrivals
are strangers to the city.

RADIO MUSIC
DRAWS CROWD
TO EXPOSITION
Copper and Brass Show Open
Today and Will Close Mon
day Afternoon.

Music by radio held the center of
the stage at the copper exposition of
the Commercial club Saturday eve-
ming in the palm room of the Hotel
Rainbow.
The music was sent from a small
set in the residence of Charles Wilks
on the north side of the city and re-
ceIved on the receiving set entered in
the exposition by Mr.. Wilks. During
the program a series of selections
were received, the music being as clear
and even louder than played on the
talking machine at the sending point.
Most Of the records played were or
chestral selections.
The copper antenna in the exposi-
ton room in view of the visitors CAV
an added touch to the impression
gained from the radio concert. The
MagnavOx, used to amplify the music
for the occasion, was also a point of
interest. Copper, brass and bronze
play a large part in the manufacture
of units of the wireless telephone, Mr..
Wilks explained.
The copper exposition will be open
again today for Sunday visitors and
will close following the Kiwanis club
luncheon Monday noon when a copper
program will be observed with talks
on the products of the metals and ex-
plantations of the exhibit.
The attendance Saturday was good,
especially during the evening concert.
although it did not reach the numbers
of the previous night, when the band

C0RD0N'S men
GET Is GALLON
STILL AT BELT
Deputies Discover MOOnshin9
Plant Hidden in
Brush.

A raid on an old shack seven niles
south of Belt, which led Sheriff Bob
Gordon and three deputies through \
thicket of briers and piled UP brush-
resulted Saturday night In the seizure
of a 75-gallon copper still. the most
pr~etentious and largest moonshine out
fit that the sheriff has ever picked
Ions of moonshine whisky. and ar,
rested two Belt men on charges OF
manufacturing liquor.
The shack which housed the still
was carefully secluded and located on
state land. 1t was built within a.
dense natural underground and, to
make it more secure from detection,
the occupants had piled cut brush
around its sides and over the top.
The two men, who gave their names,
as Lorenzo Muscatino. aged 80, and
Nick Murine, aged %, were having
their evening meal when the officers
broke into the shack. Sheriff Cor
don said they had just completed
dumping a quantity of mash on the
ground when he and a deputy arrived,
as the stuff was still steaming. They
said the ground in front of the shack
was Literally CcNctcu Win . "oSh'
A few minutes after the officers
with their prisoners started for Great
Falls. Murine made an unsuccessful
attempt to gain his liberty by leaping
from the car and making a run for
the brush. He hadn't covered a great
deal of ground when Deputy Sheriff
Fred Huotari was on his heels and
the man stopped when the deputy
threatened to use his gun. When
Murine was returned to the car. the
officers handcuffed him and the other
prisoner together. Both men are said
to have admitted operating the still.
Indications that the men were moon
shining on a wholesale scale were
borne out by the finding of a large
supply of new corks and many jugs
and bottles. according to the sheriff.
Sheriff Gordon believes that the still
has been in operation for at least two
months. 1t was through investigation
by Deputy Sheriff Jay Leland of Belt
that the location Of the still was
learned. He obtained his information
on the still three weeks ago. The
other deputy on the raid was Ed
Donovan.
