Charles Ray is said to have one of

The star is seen in the role of a

financial reverses suffered by his
father, Chef Burnett quits the team
and secretly spends his early morn

in order to pay his way through
college. Everyone wonders why
Chef has dropped out of the game,

trying to conceal the character of
his work, she breaks off all friend

WATCH HODGE!

That's the tip that comes from
the White Sox camp.
Clarence Hodge, the Clayton,
Ala, boy grabbed from Nashville
during the 1920 campaign, is the
gent referred to.
Hodge and two other youngsters,
Douglas McWeeney and Roy
Wilkinson, are counted on to help
Dick Kerr and Urban Faber ma
terlally this year.
Hodge was born at Clayton July
G, 1894. He laade his bow to base
ball in 1915 with the Dathon, Ala,
club by winning fourteen and los
ing twelve games. He showed the
stuff he is made or when he hurled
a seventeen-inning game for the
Dothan club on July Fourth. that
year, allowing the opposition six
hits and only five bases on balls,
Tough luck, though. He was beat
en- to 2.
The next year he played with
Montgomery, the following year
with Lee Tannehill at Jacksonville,
and in 1918 started with Waco. He
went to war and on his return was
transferred to Nashville. His work
there that season and the early
part of the next attracted the at
tention of the Sox scouts and in
August of that year he was ac-
quired by the Sox.
He is credited with winning one
and losing one game in 1920 for
the Sox. His record in the South
ern association before leaving
Nashville was seventeen victories
and eighteen defeats-fair enough
considering that the club finished
in seventh place.
Last year he won six and lost
eight games for the Sox.

His statement was that he was
contemplating such a move for
over year and that he had seen
moving pictures of Grand Canyon
and thought that the edge of the
greatest precipice on earth was the
place where he wished to carry out
his intentions.
After shooting himself he walk
ed back from Mojave point to the

miles, then asked for hospital.
He had evidently come from
Cleveland, O.. and there seemed
to be no motive for such an act

MACHINERY DEVISED
WITH VIEW OF ENDING
STRIKES ON RAIL WAYS
(By The Associated Press, !

London, Feb. 1S.-Railway Off
Gals of Great Britain hope that
at last they have found a means of
preventing strikes. Elaborate
machinery has just been devised
with that end in view.
This includes e. series of Joint
committees and councils leading
up to central railway councils for
each railroad.
1t will work in this way. When
a dispute arises in one locality it
will be referred back to a local
committee. If the committee fails
to agree, the question then may be
referred by either side to a cen
trail railway council. If this in
turn fails, the dispute goes before
the council for the whole railroad.
Failure of this council to end
the dispute will send 1t automatic
cally to the central wages board.
The scheme was adopted after
long negotiations between mana
gers of the railways and repre- en-
tatives of the three unions of rail-
way men.
Leaders of the unions say this
machinery is as elaborate as hui
man ingenuity can devise.
