In walked Catcher "Pop' of the Barons. His Old Hama Tnxxn snent

spent most of his time in the Texas town.
 Lasses was once a professional ball player. He pastimed in the Texas Oklahoma league. Then came the stage life and fame. But, he's still wrapped up in the sport, and grew hot under the collar and unloaded some prize profanity when the Dallas club swapped Robertson to Birmlng- ham for Pug Allen. Bobby was his buddy. And disregarding the fact that the two were close, personal friends, Lasses figured Robby the best backstop in the Texas loop and he hated to see him get away.
 Managers Are n Hard Lot
 Take it from me-" said Las ses, baseball managers are the prize nickle-nursers of the uni verse. I've tipped Dallas off to some real finds. l get a chance to see 'em, you know rembling around over the country as I do. We'll, l saw short stop in the Mississippi State league last year that was a comer. He locked like young wonder. tipped the folks back home off, but they paid about as much at- tention to me as a hobo does ro8 a ticket agent. Finally I grew desperate. having the home team at stake that way, and it was only after I agreed to pay 1F from Dallas that they agreed to take him on. Can you beat that one? It's a true parallel of the old, old story, about the gen. erous fellow who wanted to give his neighbor bushel of corn and the neighbor ask. lg "Is the corn shelled?"
 Lasses is from Texas, and of. course he thinks the Texas league is the last word in leagues. He predicted Thursday that Fort Worth would romp through to straight win of the series with Mobile. AS much as I hate those Fort Worthers. when they're playing against Dallas, I got to- admit they have a great ball club" said Lasses, and you can't beat that Wachtel when he's right, and that's chronieally. It's a splitter. splitter pill for Mo- bile to take, but they gotta do it"
 Adjourn to the Battery
 After Bobby and Lasses had finished reminiscing, Stuffy de- Stew, who led this league this year in stolen bases; John B. Robinson, who spent the summer in the Florida State league; Nep- tune Kritzsky, who knows more about fancy diving than trained seal; Brownhat Lewis Parkes, ticket chopper of the box seats at Redwood; Jack McLain, the silv'ry- -throated canary from West End, and the writer all repaired to certain joint, where the barbecusine is exceptionally pal atable. If it's going to be hard winter for any of them, you couldn't notice It when the feed- bag went on. All took a double portion, and as the Jack Spratts, licked the platter clean.
 The Barons of the crew told me that Earl Whitehill the beau Brummel of the Barons. is still in town. Whitey is spending his days in something from the limousinery, and puffing on cor pulent cigars that cost two bits a throw.
 Verify, it seems that more Barons are wintering in Birming- ham this year than ever before, They gre the ones Joe Dunn ex- poets to keep, however. The boys who are to be sold, traded, or given away have shaken the dust of the Magic City from their hoofs.

 Dallas is Lasses home town, and unlike most of the boys who have bloomed into celebrities, he hasn't gone back on his na- tive city.

When his show gees off the road he hot-foots it. for DallasNand spends his sum mers down there digging up new material, searching for colored color, and looking at the bone head plays the Dallas ball club pulls.
 One would naturally think that bloke like Lasses, who has gained fame and fortune in the show business, would want to hibernate around major league club in the summer, where he can see the big time boys perform. But. he doesn't. He goes back to his first love, and Is just as much interested in the fortunes of the Dallas club as in the days when he

RICE MADE NoVEL APPEAL
 TO PRESIDENT HARD


 George Rice, alias John McHenry of New London, who was granted a re- prieve of a week last Thursday in Wash ington. made a novel appeal to Presi dent Harding for his life Rice was to have been hanged in Washington, D. C., Thursday, for the murder of Wallace Mulcare, an automobile accessory deal CT, and Detective Sergeant James J. Armstrong in that city about year ago.
 The reprieve was granted at the re- quest of the Catholic chaplain of the district, on the plea that the young man is not prepared for death. Rice's law yer told the chief justice that within the last week he has been converted, and that week more of life is desired In which to instruct the boy in his new faith.
 Such an appeal as Rice, or McHenry made has never been proposed to a president of the United States before McHenry's letter was carried to the White House last week by Samuel Me Comas Hawken, his lawyer, who has made a vigorous fight to save the young slayer from the gollows
 Text of His Letter. The letter McHenry sent to President Harding follows:

 It matters not my relative degree of guilt-their misfortune Is definite.

CONNECTICUT JEWS LEAD
IN EUROPEAN RELIEF


 Connecticut Jews are leading all oth- CT states to date in the Union in their effort to raise $S50, 900 for the European Relief Fund, thus establishing the high est record of giving per per capita. Six weeks ago, Connecticut Jewry was una ware of its latent force. Today, with headquarters in every city, town and hamlet, with more perfect publicity than any other state, enthusiasm is running high.
 Charles H. Shapiro of Bridgeport, vol unteered for the big job. In four weeks, an organization was built up of admira- ble efficiency and results. Every news paper in the state spoke for this char ity, editorially. and in daily news col umns The governor issued special proclamation and every mayor wrote ap- pealing to the community he represented, asking for it's sympathy and help. Con necticut the thrifty. is now known as Connecticut the generous.
 In every city, town and hamlet where stores on the Main street are headquar- ters, are volunteer secretaries and a most economical system of collections has been instituted. The cost is about two per cent, underwritten. by private funds, making the enterprise the first 100 per cent. campaign conducted in the history of national giving.
 About 500 of the leading men and women became active workers in all the large cities, and from 200 to 300 in smaller town labored unsparingly to raise the funds Connecticut is leading the United States in it's wonderful ac- complishment. It has risen the highest Of all. because the leaders. workers and people Thank God They Can Give" and do give.
