the concrete results to be obtained will
be definite.

school, who has headed the committee
of commercial teachers in the valley to
arrange and carry on the contest, has
worked, in cooperation with Mr.. Coe,
county superintendent of schools, since
December to bring this contest. The
commercial teachers hope to see it made
an annual affair and expect to offer
prizes in the future. Mr. V0orhies, n
representative of the Underwood Type
writer company, is coming over from
San Diego especially to witness the con
test. During the week of May 4, Mr..

pitcher. From the time the pitcher
starts his delivery until the ball is hit,
or passed up the batter should follow it
intently with his eyes, A good eye can
see by the revolutions of the ball, by
the way it acts, just what it is, fast
ball, curve, slow, etc, many feet away.
Then when he knows what sort of a ball
is coming the batter can govern him
self accordingly.
When hitting do not hit at the entire
ball or in the general direction thereof.
Pick an imaginary spot on the ball, the
smaller the better, and aim to hit that
exact spot with the bat.
At all times keep your eye on the
ball. watch it. Bore a gimlet hole in it
with your eve and hit that gimlet hole
with the bat. Keep your eye Oh the
ball. DO not lose it when it curves,
drops, etc. Follow it. If you don t
keep your eye on the ball you won't hit
with success.
Next Lesson-Going back for the bat

One hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars for a fast prancing speed is the
offer said to have been recently made
in New York. Its name is ''Lucky
Hour and is slated to face the barriec
in the great Kentucky Derby. The own
er, jim Clelland, says 100000 berries is
not enough for the nag, 1t will be a
lucky hour for Jim when he gets an
other offer like that.
Well, Of all things. The famous
Calipatria high school ball nine won
owes the Holtville team coupla
days previous for 5 to score.
The most provoking thing about it
was that IL innings were consumed
to accomplish the task. The clubs
were neck to neck to the ninth
with the tally all. The tenth was
a avacant house for both and then in
the next spasm the winning score
was made. Eleven innings takes
the cake in the league so far this
season.
There were couple of pretty looking
damsels from the big town selling sub
scriptions to the Ell Centre natives.
Over at the hotel they were heard to
remark that there are more hicks to
the square inch in this burg than III
all places in the world combined. OF
course this hasn't much to do with
sports or its kin but some of us guys
who are inclined to be sporty once in
while kinda resent such propag ganda.
If the know-it-alls will kindly step for
ward they will be told where to head i'll.
Somehow the baseball story got
balled up yesterday. It said the
California team was in pitiful pre-
dicament. The sport ed wrote that
the Calipatria high school team was
that way. Meaning it was in the
cellar position due to the fact that
two or three men were ineligible
and therefore all games had to be
defaulted even though Calipatria
won them. So that explains that.
Who said Salt Lake didn t have a
ball club! During the early stages Of
spring training and even when the
clubs started out on the schedule, the
dope was that Salt Lake had an ANA
teur inficld and poor hitting bunch Of
fielders. Now look at 'em. Clear at
the top of the coast league with 10
wins and five reverses. Angels are
slowly descending from their once en-
We'd altitude on the percentage ladder.
Georges Carpenter is to meet
Led Louis May IL in Paris. The

LESSONS IN BASEBALL
Keep Your Eye on the Ball
Copyright 1922 by International Syndicate -

1t is very important that batter
shall keep his eye on the pithhed bali
as he hits at it, as he hits it and after
he has hit it.
Sure" laughs the unthinking OF lily
informed. What is the use of telling
us to keep our eye on the ball.
Every batter keeps his eye OH the
ball as he hits at it.
1t may surprise many people to know
that many baseball players do not keep
their eyes on the ball as they hit Some
major leaguers-poor htters-do not
see the ball when they hit it. Scores OF
amateurs lose sight of the bail in the
last few feet of it's flight, prior to
hitting, being hit, or missed by the bat
Many players actually close their eyes
as the bat is about to hit the ball
The swing, the shift of the head, etc,
operate to take the eye off the ball just
as the bat is about to meet it. Scores
of players fail to follow low bali with
the eye during the last 5 or feet Of its
flight. This helps to make a low ball
effective. Others take their eye off
the ball as it curves away from them
The batter must watch the ball from
the time he enters the box until he
leaves it. Especially must he watch the
ball while it is in the hands Of the

SEN. SHIELDS PROPAGANDA.

Senator John X. Shields, entieled
by his office to the free use of the
mails, is flooding the state with copies
of his speeches in opposition to the
League of Nations and President
Wilson, delivered in the United States
Senate on October Is, 1919, October
l4,1919 and November 10, 1919. What
the Senator's object is in attempting
to again bring strife into the State of
Tennessee by calling attention to his
opposition and bitter attacks against
President Wilson while he was Ill and
while he was and still is the recogniz-
ed leader Of the Democratic party to
which Senator Shields owes allegiance
is difficult thing to understand.
The Tennessee Democracy has re-
pudiated the stand taken by Senator
Shields in those troublous days and
the only plausible explanation is that
he is seeking to achieve some notorie-
ty for himself and find an excuse for
venting his personal spite against the
Democracy of the State which has so
signally honored him. 1t would seem
that he, in congress, is neither fish
nor fowl. Dispatches indicate that up
on the zap treaty he did not vote at
all-pairing with Republican Sena-
tor. The chances are further that he
will vote in favor of the four-power
treaty before the Senate, although the
four-power treaty contains in it much
that was in the covenant of the
League of Nations and goes far be-
yond in that it binds Japan and the
United States in alliance.
1t is generally believed that Sena-
tor Shields opposition to the League
on Nations was due to his open hos
tility to President Wilson He may be
afraid to vote either for or against the
FORMATIONS pact. If he does vote for
it, he reveals all the more clearly
what has heretofore been generally
known, that his opposition to the
League of Nations was not to the doc
ument itself, but personal hostility to
President Wilson. If he votes against
the the four-treaty pact, he stands
condemned as not serving the interest
of the country generally. He convicts
himself of holding aloof while the
great things of the world march by.
AT any rate, as Democrat, Senator
Shields has no right to obtrude. his
personality and private spite into af-
fairs of Tennessee. In so doing he
makes himself immeasurably little,
not only in the eyes of the people of
the State, regardless of politics, but
of his associates and colleagues in the
Congress Of the United States.-Mor-
ristown Mail.

LEXINGTON HAS A STOCK LAW

Lexington has. stock law and it
ought to be enforced. Some people
either purposely turn their stock out
or are as much to blame in the fact
that they do not try hard enough to
keep them up. We yho keep cows
should not only keep them up, day and
night, because il is against the law to
turn them out, but we ought to re-
member that we have neigghbors who
are entitled to the protection of the
law if we are not just enough to keep
up our stock without being forced to
do so. Ii is no test of neighborliness
to suffer continuous damage and i'm
positio nwithout protest. A person
who is not a good citizen will hardly
make an ideal neighbor-and no good
citizen will allow stock to run at large
when there is law against 1t. IL
your neighbours stock gets out acct
dentally, notify him, give him all the
chance he deserves and then If he fails
, to do his duty, call the town marshal
and demand protection.

]. FRANK MARTIN DEAD.

]. Frank Martin, son of DIR. and
Mrs. j. C. Martin, of Hinson Springs,
was born in Henderson county, Sep
TENDER 28th, 1869, and died at ll:20
a. m, March 18th, 1922, near Hinson
Springs.
Was married % years ago to Miss
Julia, daughter of the late Will Odle,
and to that union were born two
daughters anG two sons, the two sons
surviving-Earl, Of Memphis, and
James, in the employ of the Nashville,
Chattanooga & st. Louis Ry., at Hol-
low Rock Junction.
Mr.. Martin grew up in this county
and had the popularity to be elected
as Sheriff in 1912 and was reelected
to that office in 1914. He began to
fail in health few years ago and but
for his wonderful nerve and fund Of
cheerfulness, he might have died much
earlier. His good nature never failed
and he was cheerful under conditions
that would have taken all the JOY out
of life for the majority Of men. He
was especially devoted to his mother,
as we often had occasion TO notice,
and she mourns his loss as only a
mother can. His wife died in Lexing-
ton about two years ago.
AS sheriff Of Henderson county, he
was a capable official, and paper put
into his hands for service was prompt
ly executed. As court officer the
count yhas never had one better.
He was a member of the Masonic
fraternity and was buried with Ma
sonic honors in Lexington cemetery
