bench manager, has the
players. They showed toward the
close Of the 1922 campaign that
they could play good ball. II will
be the new managers job to
make them play it from the open
ing gong.
As manager Of his own bail
club, Clark Griffith will be able
to keep tabs on his players at
all times, see that they deliver
the goods or make way for those
who will, handle his pitchers In
action--a most important matter
and put some spirit into them.
II he can succeed in doing these
things, Washington fans will be
well satisfied with the results.
There Is an excellent nucleus
for the Washington club Of 1923.
On the word Of Clark Griffith,
who saw most Of them in action,
several high class players have
been obtained from the minors
and will be eaper to show their
speed in the big show.
But no. ball club in the world.
the Griffs or any other, can pet
anywhere who have the mental
attitude, Of the 1922 Washington
ball club. Even without the col
lapse of the pitchino staff. serious
as II was, the Griffs could never
have won much Of anything with
their mental condition.
Clark Griffith has forgotten
more baseball than either Nc
Bride or Milan ever knew. It
should be difficult to challenge
this statement. Fo~ wears he

Sstirring up against Judge Lands.
The Washington times., 1922-12-07

I'm my opinion-disregardin the
merits Of what seems to be de-
veloping into a serious controversy
Judge lands and johnson are
subjecting baseball to a great deal
of criticism that could be avoided
II they would bury their personal
differences.
"The Chicago offices Of lands
and johnson are only a few blocks
apart. Both are supposed to be
big men. Baseball pays one $4,000
a year and the other $4,000 a year.
Both are under obligations to rem
der faithful service. They are not
doing 1t when they bring about q
situation like this.
II johnson isn't . big enough
man to 60 around and SEQ Lands.
then the Judge should prove him
self the bigger man BY going
around to johnson. having his say
and thus eliminate long disancc
duel In the newspaper.
when a man is under salary
to q group Of men associated In
one business or sport he should,
to a certain extent, subnerge his
private opinions. s
With Landis and johnson openly
pulling against each other public
confidence in baseball Is harmed.
Both Of these men are old enough
to exercise better judgment. sin
cerely hope they will do SO and
avoid an unpleasant situation"
Colonel Huston was asked II he
would respond to a call for a Joint
meeting here in case the American
League was not represented as
unit.
81 represent only one-half Of one
clubs vote" he replied. therefore
II would be useless for me to at.
tend any such meeting"
Latest advices from Louisville,
where Judge Lands is attending
the minor league meeting. are that
the high commissioner will insist on
holding the joint meeting here as
scheduled by him.
II the American League Ii not
represented there will be . split
unless the Judge and the Ma
tional League club owners can be
persuaded that this meeting can
be held later without inconves'-
ience or affrenf to them.
At present johnson seems to be
the chief disturber. During the
world series there was an infor-
NAL meeting of club owners OF both
leagues. All but one OF the Ma
tional League clubs were represent
ed and four American League rep
resentatives attended.
The two league presidents and
Lands discussed the dates for the
winter meetings and the general
sentiment was in favor OF holding
the Joint meeting in New York,
johnson made no objection AT
that time. John Heydler has been
quoted as saying that II there had
been an objection the meetings
could all have been held in Chicago
Lands, under the impression that
New York was satisfactory to
everybody, called his meeting for
New York two weeks ago.
Some time later Johnson switched
the American League meeting to
Chicago and thus disarranged the
commissioners plans for the joint
meeting.
AS dne put It yesterday:
johnson took the meeting away
and left the 'joint' for Landis."

admit publicly that he will man
age his ball club next season.
He will do that, probably at a
little dinner to the Washington
sports editors. He is always a
complete success when it comes
to being a host at dinners. And
when this dinner is given at the
Racquet club, the president Of the
club will graciously smile as he
announces that he will endeavor
to get something out of his high
priced baseball material, some
thing that two Of his managers,
George Mcbride and Zeb Milan,
did not get.
Clark Griffith's record in base
ball Is too wellknown to require
lengthy description. Suffice It be
to say that he managed Charlie
Comiskey's American league
champions Of 1900 and was con-
tinually in charge of major league
ball clubs for twenty years be-
fore handing over the reins to
George Mcbride. The Old Fox
has plenty Of experience. He
may need some more luck, but
he has the experience.
Protects His Investment.
|TLARK GRIFFITH has prac-
~ tically his entire fortune in
vested in the Washington
baseball club. He Is but acting
wisely II he seeks to protect that
investment to the best Of his
ability. He cannot be blamed for
thinking that he can do better
with his players than has been
done for the past two years.
This Is said in the best Of spirit
by one who was on intimate
terms with both George Mcbride
and Zeb Milan, two men of as
high q caliber as may be found
abroad in the land.
Clark Griffith believes right to-
day that he has players capable
OF making q fight for the 1923
pennant.
Clark Griffith believes that he
can handle those players as well
as any man on the baseball hori-
ron.
Clark Griffith believes he can
make the lazy work, the dispirited
men show life and the team a
greater success than It has been
for at least two seasons.
Speaking by the book, he's
quite right From experience, we
would say offhand that he can
make the lazy work, put life into
the dispirited and achieve a great
er success than has been seen for
two years back. Clark Griffith

attended a sale of any kind In Ash

It was staged In a truck belonging
to the company standing in front OF
the store. A small child drew a
ticket out and it was handed to Mr..
Peebler, who announced the ticket
as belonging to A. E. Erickson, but
upon his failure to answer to his
name, another ticket bearing the
name of w. S. Peppers was then
drawn, and Mr.. Peppers answered
when his name was called, and was
awarded the stove.
1t was tough on Mr.. Erickson an
employe at the Standard Oil station,
who had left the crowd only short
time before his name was announced
as the winner But there was no

a rule to govern the drawing, and it
was lived up to.
The first ticket drawn was regis
tered as number 272, and the second

BEN SHELDON IS OUT
OF RACE FOR SENATE
ANNOUNCES HIS WITHDRAWAL
OF CANDIDACY IN FAVOR
OF GEO. W. DUNN
Belief Is General That This Practic-
ally Assures the Election Of Ash.
lands Candidates for the Senate
and County Commissioner.

Ben Sheldon, Of Medford, rancher
and former president of the Medford
chamber of commerce, made the Of
ficlal announcement today that he
would not be candidate at the pri-
maries for the republican nomina-
tion for state senator
This leaves the field practically
clear for the nomination OF George
w. Dunn, of Ashland, whose candi-
dacy papers were officially filed yes
terday.
Mr.. Sheldon's announcement came
as considerable Of a surprise to his
friends, as we'll as to those who op-
posed his candidacy. He is a live
wire and a recognized power in the
legislature. He has assigned no par
ticular reason for his sudden deter
mination to withdraw from the race,
beyond the bare statement that his
private affairs demand greater atten-
ton than legislative activity would
permit
The news was received in Ashland
with considerable satisfaction, as 1t
clears away the possibility OF split
in the party lines, as Sheldon had
many friends here. and he has al
ways been recognized as good
friend of this section, in and out OF
the legislature. His fight to retain
the normal school in this city has not
been forgotten.
1t will have tendency, too, to
strengthen T. H. Simpsons candi-
dacy for the nomination for county
commissioner.

POTTERY MEN GET
SAMPLES OF KAOLIN

C. E. Hooper has brought in some
very fine samples of Kaolin, the ma
terial used in the manufacture OF
pottery, to the chamber of commerce
and the same has been forwarded to
a firm in Portland. Mr.. Hooper's
ranch lies thirteen miles over the
range, In the Dead Indian country,
and the samples were found in that
vicinity, where he says there are al
most inexhaustible beds.
Secretary Fuller, Of the chamber
of commerce. recently received let

ture of pottery, provided they can
find suitable material. Heretofore,
all the finds of kaolin have been
confined to the northeastern section
of the country, and little, II any pot
terry has even been manufactured on
this coast. II the samples come up
to the product of the east, It is
among the probabilities that a pot
terry plant would be established here,
which would employ large force of
men. The kaolln from the Dead In
dian country has been tested before,
and 1t was reported to be superior
to that found in the eastern beds.

SIZING THINGS UP

In sizing things up, especially
those having a bearing upon local
conditions, it is well to remember
that there is more than one angle
from which a question may be
viewed.
Many people err in judgment pure
ly from haste and over-zealousness
Impressions are often formed at
first glance, and unless a person is
willing to probe beneath the surface
and consider all available facts those
first impressions will remain and be-
come fixed convictions, irrespective
of whether they be right or wrong.
Then there are those who, having
formed a hasty conclusion, refuse to
recede from their position, even
when confronted with indisputable
proof of their error in judgment.
That is pure stubbornness.
But in Ashland as in all other
towns, there are many people who
are quick to form Impressions, but
are willing to, and do, analyze the
arguments of the opposition. Often
times their views are completely
changed as result of the additional
information they thus acquire.
Sizing up local conditions is an
admirable habit, but undue haste in
forming conclusions is regrettable.
Best results are obtained by TAX
ing a calm survey of the situation
from every conceivable standpoint
before taking a definite stand.
Communities prosper and grow
when their citizens adopt this plan.
1t is the better one for Ashland.

Stoves Once Unpopular.

A hundred years ago stoves and

thing that gave decorators of houses
the greatest concern. Z
"The stove" says German writer,

wherein the whole of antiquity was
any reference to be found to a
