LION To LEAD
CHEERING WHEN

ers. but the famous Penn State
band In also going to make the trip

panied the team last year and We'd
with Georgia Tech band for honors

Dodgers Boss Believes Major
League Performers Would
Do Well In Florida.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Charley
Ebbets, the SQUIRE of Flatbush. has
an idea for the formation Of a
Cocoanut League. This league Is
not to be confounded with the
regular circuit of which Brooklyn
Is a member. Charlie wants to
enroll his Fusileers in q Cocoanut
League to be organized in Florida.
He plans TO take his cargo of
mixed cocoanuts and ivory to
Clearwater, virgin training territory
In Florida, and to enter Clearwater
In a league with st. Petersburg.
Tampa. Daytona. Belleaire, Palm
Beach, Miami and way stations.
The Squire thinks that a winter
league OF major league clubs in
training down in the neck OF the
woods ought to make q lot Of
money for the club owners.
Clearwater is hot on the trail Of
the Dodgers. It wants to build a
$4,000 baseball plant to accommo-
date the Flatbush club and Is ready
to make all sorts Of concessions to
get it's name in print. 'Ebbits q
in favor OF going down there and
soon will make a trip to Clear

accommodations would be available
for his esteemed ball players. Last

Three Great Infields

Esteem

Now that the baseball season
is over, the annual discussion
about the greatest infeld OF all
time has started and will con-
tinue during the winter months.
The Giants infield of this year
with Kelly, Friseh, Bancroft,
and Groh Is the choice of the
present-day fan.
The old-timers point with
much pride to the old Cubs In.

Connie MacRs Athletics, and
the Red Sox infield Of La

ging along and finally finished out
the Summer-up to the Giants.
Just consider that the McGraw
clan clinched the National League
pennant only a few days before the
close of the championship season.
What q task they probably would
have had to shake off Pat Moran
and his Reds II the latter had won
even half Of their first dozen
games.
We therefore are strongly Of
the opinion that Manager Moran
only received the recognition he
was fully entitled to when he was
requested to sign up again -
leader Of the Reds. And mind,
too, that Eddie Rousch did not
Join the Reds until nearly mid
season last Summer.
II Is remembered very pleasantly
by the writer that Manager Nc
Graw during the period when the
four Western teams were battling to
get into the share Of worlds series
money used none but his first-strins
boxmen against the contenders. He
gave the westerners q fair and
square deal. although no doubt he
had his prediction. We all had
that.
Moran was born in Fitchburg,
Mass, a city that has turned out
many prominent baseball players,
including Jim Callahan. the Cogs.

others. The old Rollstones, Of Fitch.

the writer played as catcher. Henry
Lamb was one pitcher. The Beacone
were mostly Harvard men who after
their graduation continued to play
baseball for fun. Many were the
times we played the Rollstones.
The latter was first organized
/ by James Phillips, jr., who was
later the owner OF the New York
Press. He took great interest in
baseball, most Of the Rollstons
players being employed In his
fathers big woOlen mills.
Phillips IL still an enthusiastic
admirer of the National game and
there are but few Worlds Series
he has missed. He seldom fails ever
now to visit the Polo Grounds when
ever Pat Moran's team are the
Giants opponents. II my memory
Is correct, Phillips Is a Yankee
rooter, or was anyhow up to the
last World Series. He became very
prominent in other big business
interests after he sold The Press.
Moran is now a resident OF Gin
cinnati, where he has purchased q
fine home. He always pays as visit

good for him there. The city never
had a more popular native son.

BERRY GROWERS MEET

AT the meeting of the Upton
County Berry Growers Association,
held in the courthouse Saturday after
noon, a resolution was passed cancel
ing the present contract with the
North American Fruit Association
for the marketing Of the berry crop
of the association with the view to
renewing the contract next February
at lower rate Of brokerage. 1t
was thought by the members of the
association that other berry associa-
tions between Fulton and Memphis
would join with the Upton county
growers in marketing the crop
through the Fruit Exchange, gaining
greater tonnage and lower brokerage.
There are 10 associations between
Memphis and Fulton and it is
thought by the local. growers that by
marketing the crop comparatively
through the same medium that a
better price can be commanded for
the crop. BY this plan neighboring
association could not offer shipments
at a lower price than that being asked
by others, thereby weakening the
market.
Through the Upton county asso-
citation between 450 and 500 arces
will be marketed next year.

TONEY HALL MURDERED
NEAR ICOLORED CHURCH

Toney Hall, colored, died instantly
Sunday night, when his head was al
most severed from his body by Jack
Winfrey, colored, who slashed Halls
throat either with razor or a knife
with a very keen blade. The incident
occurred near a colored church near
Simonton's store. no one witness
ing it except Winfrey's wife, who
was present at the time. The Sun
day night church service was in pro-
gress at the time, but upon hearing
RE woman's screams the congrega-
ton was panic stricken, the church
being deserted by the congregation,
preacher and all.
Officers called to the scene of muir
der failed to bring about Winfrey's
arrest, he having fled Immediately
after committing the crime. It is
said that Jealousy was the cause of
the murder of Hall, whose death was
almost instantaneous. 1t is generally
believed that the weapon used was
a razor, as the dead mans head was
almost completely severed, only a
fragment Of skin and flesh holding it
to the body.

CHILD WELFARE SPECIAL
COMPLETES ITS WORK


The Child Welfare Special will
finish up its work in Upton county
this week with feeling of having
done we'll what it came to do.
The response to its invitation to
have all children under seven exam
ined at the governments expense
has been splendid. About 800 will
have been examined at the end of this
week-a remarkable record for five
weeks work.
More important, however, than the
numbers reached. is the contact Of
the physicians with the parents and
the child and their quiet consulta-
ton. Many have left the truck with
a feeling that they now know better
how to care for the well-being of
their children because Of the sugr
gestions received.
The people of Upton county are
very grateful to the government for
giving them the privilege of having
the special in the county, and to the
Red Cross for making the arrange
ments. They believe that the good
has been inestimable and that it viii
last long after the special leaves.
They are wishing the special and its
personnel continued success in its
work in other sections.
