position IN the pennant race.
Speaking for ourselves and We

the rockies M action. Il might
suggest columns for the coming
winter. Furthermore, If COM
PEELED, we might be able to pick
out certain players not likely to
be. here in 1924, at least for
long. Naturally, therefore, we'd
like to see some of their success
sors try their luck.
President Griffith every now
and then spills q lot of junk
about all the new rlayers to be
given trials. This Flames the
fans, most of whom know that
the present lineup will ney er win
pennant. They would like to
look at some Of these phenoms.
At the same time, DOME Bush
is wise. He knows that, il the
Griffs finish in the first division,
the fans will chatter all winter
over their climb in a year. On
the other hand, those same fans
might remember little about this
or that youngster over q winter.
It matters nothing whatever to
us where the Griffs finish, so long
as they are out Of the world
series. It's first or nothing with
us. But then, we're not q fan,
at least not in the accepted sense
Of the term.
But President Griffith and
Manager Bush should get to-
gether. Either Griff should clamp
down on the "new player" stuff,
or Donie Bush should show some
Of them to the lads who pay their
way through the gate, something
we don't do.
Twas A Mere Slip.
TAD you see where John B.
Foster, an estimabIe and
reliable sports writer, said
that the Chicago White Sox were
paying $4,000 for Handsome
Harry" Courtney, one time
Washington southpaw pitcher
now leading the Pacific Coast
league hurlers as a member of
the San Francisco club?
Yes, we laughed, too.
1t now develops that twas a
slip o. the types which made the
$500 Courtney CLEAN and glis-
ten like a $4,000 marvel for
one day.
Courtney, on being informed
that he must report to the White
Sox next season, announces his
retirement from the game before
he goes back to Kid Gleason.
Ho, hum!
Courtney, a failure here and
in Chicago, will have to retire.
that's all, if he doesn't want to
hear Kid Gleason's rasping voice
next year. But maybe Courtney
doesn't like to work for a guy
like Gleason who insists on real
work whenever called upon.
Poseurs don't get far with the

representatives, which if passed will
mean the revamping of the present
blue sky law. 1t embodies the

the filing of a prospectus of the Sc

partment. and the withholding of
any formal application of approval
by the state. No security could be
sold, other than certain exempted
issues, unless said prospectus was
filed with the state, and copy Civ

An Unce|ebrated Birthday

Messrs. A. D. King of this place
and Geo. Wagner Of GAINESVILLE al
ways like to celebrate their birth
days which come on the same day,
by "dining out" together, or in
some such manner On their 18th
anniversary which came on Monday,
they expected to go to the City Res
taurant here in the evening for a
dinner. and they had invited a few
of their friends-about five in all,
to enjoy the occasion with them.
But owing to colds, grip, pressure
of business, etc., the party failed to
materialize. all this too late to give
them a chance to make other ar
rangements, and so Mr.. King found
himself in the position of a lone
prospective host with no guests, as
even Mr.. Wagner had Slipped out"
somewhere. SO the dinner was call
ed Off
Here's hoping, however, that
these gentlemen may live to see
many more birthday anniversaries,
and parties too.

The:League Of Women Voters

A very interesting program was
given at the league meeting in the
court room, Tuesday evening. Mrs.
A. A. Harrington gave talk on ma
tional legislation affecting women.
She pointed out the benefits derived
from the law giving Independent
citizenship to women, which was
signed Sept. %, 1922. The reasons
were given for the opposition OF the
National League of Women Voters
to the Blanket Equality Bill, on the
ground that it would annul much OF
the special legislation which has
been made for the protection oil
women. She discussed the Shep-
pard- -Towner law and a number OF
other laws and bills.
Mrs. Bessie Walker talked OF the
work of the Ohio League under the
following heads: What it is doing
in the large cities; in the smaller
cities and rural districts; by spec
ial conference; by cooperation with
other organizations; through legis-
lation. She discussed child account
ing, minimum wage for women, the
proposed change in the election
laws. the illegitimacy bill, and sew
erai other bills.
Mrs. A. H. Mercer dealt with the
subject of Child Welfare, speaking
particularly of the great child health
demonstration at Mansfield, 0.
After completion of the program,
motion was made to re-elect the
present corps of officers for another
year. Since the president positively
declined to serve another term, an
amendment was made to substitute
the name of Mrs r. K. Brown for
that of Mrs. Evelyn True Button,
and with that exception the old
corps was reelected.
The officers elected are Pres,
Mrs. r. K. Brown; V.Pres., Miss Lii
lian Thompson; Sec'y, Mrs. Alice
Manly; Treas, Mrs. Lucy Kraps.
The next meeting will be held in
March. Xxx.

C|RLSLOSE TOCR0OKsv|LtE

The girls basketball team of M.
e M. Hi opened their season here
Friday night, by playing the
Crooksville five. Close guarding by
both teams was feature of the
game. Slough starred for the visi-
tors, with two field goals. Both of
these came in the first four minutes,
and the local girls never were in
the lead. The first half ended with
the score to 8, Brooks having
Gagged a field and a foul goal. Spung
scored late in the second half, but
two more ringers for Crooksville
left the final score to 5. M. e.
MS quintet showed up exceedingly
well, but lack Of experience was
the deciding factor.
In a preliminary the M. & M.
Eighth Grade won over the Fresh
men by the score of 33 to II.
Gheen and Bingham were the chief
offensive men on the winning team.
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1923-02-01

His many friends here in Morgan
county, and vicinity, will be pleas
ed to learn that Mr. Joseph w Tan
nehill, formerly one of the editors
and owners of the Democrat has
been appointed to the position of
state superintendent of building
and loan associations. under the
Donahey administration. at the
yearly salary of $4,000. This is
one of the very choicest plums in
the state. He succeeds John w.
Pugh, Republican, of xenia.
We doubt if there is man in
the state who stands closer to Gov
ernor Donahey than does Mr.. Tan
nehill. They served together in
the Ohio constitutional convention
back in 1912. Later when Donahey
was elected state auditor, Mr.. Tan
nehill was the statistician, serving
in that capacity eight years. Dur
ing the last campaign he was active
ly employed in the Donahey head
quarters, where he did much to
further Donahey's interests AS
soon as Mr.. Donahey was elected, il
was known that Mr. Tannehill
would receive an appointment
worth while.
He is eminently qualified for his
new position. which he will fill with
the same thoroughness that he has
the various public and private, po-
sitions he has hitherto occupied.

Lecture on France

The Parent-Teachers' association
met in the NJ & M. auditorium
Tuesday evening, at 1880. After
preliminary remarks by the presi-
dent Chas. A. Gaylord, and the
transaction Of important business,
the new supervisor of music of the
sented to the audience by Supt. B.
F. Fulks, and sang two solos, "The
Star" Rodgers, and '"The Lilac
Tree" Gaitland Prof. H. D. Bish-
op followed with an entertaining
and instructive lecture, illustrated
with pictures thrown on the screen.
Beginning with beautiful and
historic Paris, noted for it's mag
nifiicent architecture, we were
shown views of palaces, churches,
monuments, marble bridges, streets
decorated with arches. columns and
statues, the interior of churches and
homes, the Champ Elysees where
the great artist, Posa Bonheur. liv-
ed; the woods of the Bois de Boul-
ogne, where she played as a child,
and the Louvre where the works of
the old masters hang. Among the
many views shown from all parts
of France, giving modes of living,
occupations and an exposition of
French customs, were those of Bar
surAule, Nancy. Reviera, and Dor
emy the birthplace of Joan of Arc.
The scenes from the life of the
martyred maid were vivid and real
istic, and the charm of the entire
entertainment was in measure
due to the fact that the speaker had
been overseas" in the world war,
and wandered among the scenes he
so faithfully portrayed.-XX.
