DETAILS, Difference
BETWEEN GENIUS AND
DUB,IS PROVED OUT
By FRANK q. MENkE

Once upon time a sage remarked:
"The only difference between
genius and a dub is that a genius
gives intimate attention to details"
All of which means that sometimes
it's only the slightest defect = the
slightest failure to watch details
which keeps men from greatness.
Stanley CoVeleskie knows.
Back in 1916 when the big Pole re-
ported to the Indians he was preced-
ed by a double barreled reputation;
one for wildness and another for speed
and baseball cunning.
He was shooed off to the spring
training camp and ordered to show his
stuff. Lee Foil, old-time catcher and
then manager of the club, told Stanley
to stick 'em over and let's see what
you've got
All Go Wild.
Coveleskie is a habitual spitfall
singer. He slung the moist ones at
Foil for Is minutes-and Foil spent
four hours that night massaging his
legs, arms and other musclar regions
back to normalcy. For every time
"Covey" swished along his splitter"
heaven alone knew where it would

MORRISQN'S CURVES
roo MUCH FOR REDS

CINCINNATI, April IS Johnny
Morrison hurled mean curve ball
over the outside corner of the plate
Monday afternoon, and the Reds suf-
fered thei' first shutout of the season.
Luque pitched nearly as well except
in one fatal round, the fifth when the
enemy punched three clean singles off
his delivery for one tally. 1t was a
hard game for the Cuban to lose.
The Reds had big chance in the
sixth but the breaks E~N against
them. Pinelli led off with a wicked
drive over third which struck the bag
and stuck, or it might have been good
for two bases. Wingo flied to Carey.
and Luque sent a long fly to Carey,
who had chance to get under it but
failed and Pinelli was only able to
reach third and Luque second. Burns
hit to Meanwhile and got Pinelli at the
plate and Neale lined to Tierney for
the third out.
After these two rounds neither team
had a chance to score both hurlers
pitching great ball and the support be-
ing very good. The score:

STICALL WORKS out
BEFORE LOCAL FANS;
SCRAPS WEDNESDAY

Lrt Stigall worked out at the Coli
sized crowd of fans and showed that
he is in perfect shape for his battle
Wednesday night at the Coliseum
with the Kansas Kid. Their bout is
scheduled for ten rounds and will
head the program.
Stigall will work out again at the
Coliseum some time Wednesday but
his training will be light. Both boys
were scheduled to put in some work
at the Coliseum Tuesday afternoon.
From the way Stigall showed up in
his workout with his sparring part
wallop. Although he is making no
prediction he says he is going right
after the Kansas Kid and make short
--ork of the scrap.
On the other hand the Kansas Kid
is confident that he will be able to
get over one of his pet blows and he
says the scrap will terminate then
and there. He is pointing at his
knockout last Friday at Portsmouth
over Lee Smith and says he expects
to duplicate tomorrow night.
Al Lever of Miamisburg and Kid
Habble of Springfield will mix things
in the semi-windup of six rounds.
These boys are evenly matched at
100 pounds and should make a good
scrap.
Russ Lee, Richmond, is slated for
six-round argument with Rocky
Burns of Miamisburg. Lee reports he
is in good shape and ready for the
gong.
The first bout will start promptly
| at $3.50 o'clock. Tickets are on sale

land. But usually it broke anywhere
from three to nine feet away from the
makeshift plate Fohl had rugged up.
The next day it was the same story
and the next. Coveleskie had speed
"a world of it. He had a beautiful
pitching motion, he had brains-but
that spitter-his main stock in the
pitching trade-was the most erratic
thing that Foil ever had tried to cap
ture.
I'm afraid the kid won't do - not
with that sort of splitter" confided
Foil one night to Jack McCallister, an
assistant. If he could get that splitter
breaking right he'd be a wonder. But
he's throwing it like a man with both
eyes blindfolded"
Let me try him out for day or
two urged McCallister.
Sure said Foil.
Watches Delivery
The next day McCallister caught the
kids delivery-with the same result
McCallister watched the youngsters
every action from the moment he start
ed to wind up until the ball was on it's
way. And then, Is minutes later, he
called over rookie" catcher to re-
ceive for Convey"
Il want to see you close up" said
McCallister. standing alongside the
Polish moundsman.
He watched Convey for while and
then he stopped the kid in a windup:
I've found your trouble-Ive found
it." he said. He made a few sugges-
lions to the youngstel, personally DEM
onstrated what he wanted done-and
Coveleskie did it.
Steps Into Greatness
From that hour Stanley Coveleskie
has been the greatest spitball pitcher
in America, one of its greatest sling
ers-and a world series hero. And,
most astonishing of all, the kid, once
wilder than a cannibal," has become
marvel of control
How come?
Well, that night In the training
camp McCallister explained it to
Foil: =
"Coveleskie," he said, "has been
| holding his splitter too tight. When
ever he'd get clutch on that ball,
it would be so tight that it would
squeeze out the aaliva and his fingers
would be holding a near-dry surface
When he'd let the ball go, the result
would be a Grassy break, utterly lack
ing in any sort of control, when il
would break
Il told him to hold the ball bit
looser That made it slip out of his
fingers with a twist on it. He's pitch
ing the ball that way now-and he
breaks that splitter like world beat
err He'll not only make good-he'll
| be one of the leagues best twirlers
| in another season or So"

The figures of premiums received and losses paid in Mssis-
sippi during the year 192O-1921 figures not available yet
show that the fire insurance companies writing business IN
Mississippi had a very nice profit. Of course it took something
to do business, but it will be observed that there is no interest
showing in the figures given, and of course the companies are
too alert and wise in business not to have realized some interest
on the money collected as we'll as capital and surplus: Mlssls-
sippi should have a credit charge for interest on capital and sur
plus in proportion to the business done in this State as compared
to the whole amount of business.
Business done in the State of Mississippi by Fire Insurance
Companies for the year ending December 31st, 1920"
risks written 1928, 500, 81 600
premiums 7,135, 448.37
"Net incurred losses 3,495, 1913. 46
NET paid losses 1855, $685. 6
The insurance commissioner says had he known the Cover
nor desired them they would have been given him"
The public mind has been so agitated and disturbed over
the fire insurance situation in Mississippi, that there is some
danger now in the pendulum swinging too far the other way and
of fixing rates even in excess of what the rating bureau"
charged. The companies should have adequate rates but the
public, too, is entitled to protection against Over-adequate rates.
Let the Legislature measure we'll and carefully the law
creating any rating bureau or system.

THE JAZZ FAMILY
OF EVERYWHERE

Jazz, everything, Jazz the converse
ton till it is nothing but monkey glib
berish. Jazz the platform and pulpit
till they are nothing but places for
grimacing mountebanks. Jazz the
stage till every sacred thing in life is
cheapened. Jazz the home till it is
nothing but a place to sleep after one
O'Clock in the morning. Jazz the girls
clothes till they are nothing but MOON
beams. Jazz their hair till they look
like south sea islanders. Jazz their
shoes till they teeter along the streets
like they had locomotor ataxia.
The Jazz girl marries a Jazz boy
and they start housekeeping with an
installment monograph and a dozen
Jazz records. Sometimes by accident.
a little Jazz baby is born later. If
it is a boy it can smoke a cirgarette
in nine months and if it is a girl it
can dance, a shimmy in the same
mature age.
The last generation boochy-cooched
into this and this will jazz into the
next. "Great is Diana of the Ephe-
sians," yelled an ancient mob in the
city of Ephesus. "Great is jazz of
the Americans" yells the mob now,
and the public falls for it.-Monroe

THOSE EDUCATIONAL BUDGETS.

There is a 'hue and cry" gong up from many parts OF the
State to the Legislature which convenes next month to reduce
taxation. How do those so crying expect this to be done. The
major portion of the tax now being paid is to retire bonds al
ready saddled on the taxpayers and the money spent. 1t is
true much of this money has been wasted but that does not re-
lieve the situation. The honesty and good faith of the State is
pledged for the payment of these bonds and certainly every
honest Mississippian desires them paid.
There can be some saving of public money had, especially
as to the educational budgets.
Those who have been able to manipulate these have clearly
made it appear that to oppose them meant that the OppOSer was
unpatrotic and a traitor to the best interests of the boys and
girls of our state. They have been smart fellows behind this
business, but our opinion is that the Legislature knows a thing
or two too, and relief may be expected from this quarter.
Let us hope the pruning hook will be used to its utmost ca
pacity when appropriations are notwithstanding Citizen.

In August, 1918, my son Homer
Fowlcrs, of Blanchard, La, was sick
and when examined by a doctor was
pronounced to have an attack of
Bright's disease. This doctor gave
him two prescriptions which were
filled and faithfully taken. His at
tack occurred again and again:
About October 1st ! purchased, on
the advice of one of my friends, a
treatment of HOBO Kidney and

once began taking.
His attacks Immediately became
less serious, and since January LIST,
1919, he has not had a sick day from

WHAT GOV. PARKER SAID.

Hon. w. S. Tate writing in the Magnolia Gazette, said:
They tried to increase salaries recently in Louisiana but
Governor John M. Parker let it be known that if the bill passed
he would veto it. A sheriff thinking to put him in a hole wired
him about like this: "The salary of the Sheriff of Claiborne
Parish has been $4,000 for the past 20 years. Oil has been dis
covered here and thousands of people have focked here, putting
much more work on the Sheriff; don't you think | am entitled to
more salary? Wire me at my expense" Gov. Parker wired as
follows: 81 have been reliably informed that before you We're
elected you worked at a salary of $500 per year. Now If you
do not see your way clear to work for $4,000 your resignation
will be received by me, and | anticipate no trouble in getting a
competent man to fill the position at the salary it now carries
1t is unnecessary to state that this sheriff is still on the job at
the same salary. Would that we had more governors like John
NJ. Parker.

The excuse is now being offered for the high prices at which
the State Text Book Commission contracted for school books
that the law was mandatory and that the Commission was COM
PEELED to make a five year contract, even though the prices were
realized to be very %exorbitant. The Commission should have
taken the bull by the horns and acted in the interests of the
parents who must buy school books, and should have disregard
ed the letter of the law. Is there anybody foolish enough to
believe that the public would not have sustained the Commits
sion in refusing to tie up the Mississippi public for five years at
the high prices for school books? No text book company could
have coerced the Commission. And the children could have
used the old books for another year. Lots of dang tommy rot
about changing books so often anyhow.

The legislator who does not make an honest effort to cut ex-
penses of the counties and the State below what was provided
for by the laws of 1920 writes Dennis, as his name in this part

legislator who persists in "high pressure" in 1922, to ever again
get the ear OF the Mississippi voters. Gentlemen, this is the
time to crawl down several pegs.
