official county paper the receipts

THE LOW TONE OF POLITICS

The people who see good deal
of politics are apt to speak with
much dissatisfaction of the low
standards which seem to prevail.
There may not be much actual cor
ruption among legislators, But q
great many politicians do not make
any great effort to study out what
would be the best course for the
good of the country or the state.
Their first idea is how they can get
reelected.
Such men may realize that a GER
tain proposition would be contrary
to the sentiment of the county or
state. Yet because they are afraid
to antagonize some organized ele-
ment that is working strongly for
that proposition, they may be afraid
to vote according to their real con-
viction.
If men of that type would make
more attempt to appeal to the in
telligence of their constituents, they
would come out much better than
they expect as the result of frank
and straightforward course. If
they will do what they think is right
and best, and then go to the peo-
pie with a plain and clear statement
OF the reasons why they so acted,
they will get strong support They
will command respect for their in
dependence, and the logic of their
position will make a strong appeal.
A good legislator needs both
brains and independence. The peo-
pie get tired of a whittier who is
blown around from ore thing to
another by the influence that is
most powerful in the Legislative lob
by. If man of that type does
spunk up courage to follow his own
convictions, he may often be beaten
because he lacks the mental ability
to state his reasons forcefully
enough so that the people can see
the strength of his point of view.
But if a man will study public

A suItan,s Watch.

In 1884 most elaborate watch was
made-of twenty-five carat gold-for
Sultan Abdul-Medjid by firm at
COrnhill. This giant watch was five
inches in diameter. Though it had
no bell, 1t chimed the hours and quar-
tiers, the striking apparatus consisting
of wires. Its powerful yet pleasant
tone resembled that of a cathedral
clock. The cost of this wonderful
thing was twelve hundred guineas.

Wheh In Eighth And Beat Dunns Men To
ED ROUSH COMES
 TO AN AGREEMENT
 WITH CINCY REDS

CINCINNATI, April 14.-Ed Roush, great batter and star outfielder, came to terms with the Cincinnati National league club management today and may play his position In the opening game of the season next Tuesday.
 Roush finally capitulated and signed one-year contract. calling for s15,000. with no stipulation that the fine of $50 day for remaining away from training camp would be remitted. However, in a communica- tion sent to President August Herr man. which led to the agreement, Roush expressed the hope that the directors of the club at the end of the season would reconsider their action and that the fine would not be en- forced.
 Roush's career with tho Reds has been one of great glory, but also of he has had differences with the club management over the terms of his contract and the resultant negotia- tions delayed him from Joining the team.
 In his controversy this year, Roush claimed that the club directors re- fused to negotiate with him, while the directors replied that his terms were impossible and his conduct in remaining away from training camp prejudicial to discipline and harmony.
 Roush probably will be in uniform tomorrow when the Reds are to play the Detroit Americans.

FLOYD STICKS BY
 MULDOON RULING

NEW YORK, April 14.-Floyd John son, Iowa heavyweight, today decided to forfeit his ring standing in New Jersey by not fulfilling a contract to box Fred Fulton at Jersey City next Monday night, rather than go through with the match and have his bout with Jesse Willard at the Yankee stadium on May 12 cancelled by the New York state athletic commission.
 This announcement was made by Charley Cook, Johnsons manager. after the two state boxing commis- sions had split in the controversy sur rounding Johnsons engagements. William Muldoon, chairman of the New York commission refused to modify his ruling that principals in the Yankee stadium show must not participate in any more preliminary bouts. while Newton A. K. Bugle, New Jersey commissioner. held that John sons contract with Jersey City pro motors was irrevocable.
 Cook reiterated that he had signed with Fulton in good faith previous to Muldoons ruling, and was anxious to go through with the match. He said he felt it was necessary to sacrifice Johnson's interests in New Jersey rather than in New York.
 Platt Adams, chief inspector of the New Jersey commission, declared Johnson would be suspended indefi- nite1y in his state as soon as the time limit expired for his appearance in the ring Monday night.

SHORT PEGS

Jack Britton would make a digni- those benighted climates where box ing and burgling are words of inter changeable meaning. He draws no blood, he scrambles never a novice ear and the brutal crunch of a knock out is no part of a Britton boxing spectacle. Britton is the Kreisler and the Paderewski of his line. He is one of those boxers who can dem onstrate that boxing is after all an art. Roland Todd, of England, is the other one.
 At the age of 40, Britton is coming out again to box, principally in bouts of six and eight rounds, with an oc- casional ten-rounder. He Is too old now to train as diligently as he had weight championship. But his de fensive hitting" as they call it in England, and his natural strength will carry him through s50,000 worth or short fights in year if he wants the money.

FRENCH BASEBALL CLUBS TO SWING INTO ACTION SOON

PARIS, April 14-(By Associated s.)-The French baseball sea son opens tomorrow It will be the brass band ceremonies and great holiday crowds attending the sea- sons debut in the United States, but with 1923 France assumes second rank among the baseball playing na- tons of the world.
 The baseball seed. sown by the American soldiers in France dur ing and after the war, has grown into stalwart tree and it is es- timated that nearly 2,000 French men and boys will be chasing the elusive pill and swinging the bat when the season is in full sway.
 Paris, alone has city league of eight clubs, and the brand of base ball served up by the winner of last years pennant-the Ranelagh club, dean of French baseball teams, organized after the visit to Paris of the Chicago White Sox and New York Giants years ago-would com pare favorably with the strong anna towns and might even hold it's own in the main state leagues.
 Turcoing, Roubaix, Lille and Douai form a northern league, while the former American army bases of Bor- deaux, Tours, Le Mans and St. Nazaire as the southern league have schedule of twelve games to decide which team shall meet the winner in the northern league. The team emerging triumphant from this test then will try conclusions with the champions of the Paris league.
 The French players are fast base runners and brilliant fielders on ground balls, although still weak in judging line drives. The pitchers lave remarkable whips and have long since discarded their round house curves and. making sharp shoots with. fast, straight balls. keep the batters guessing. i5
 Batting is still the poorest depart ment of the Frenchmen's game. They are still ball shy and speedy shoot on the inside of the plate seldom fails to drive them away. causing pop flies or clean strikes. The scarcity of left hand batters is another feature of the French hines. most of which are composed of seven or eight right-handers

GOLF AND FRIENDS

T play golf for the acQuaintances I make" said a man who was dis cussing the game at a downtown club.
 When heard the remark I every friendly golfer, for man is friendly animal, lurked this one of many reasons why he plays golf. It may not be the chief reason-in my case it certainly is not. for natural inclination and propinquity have made golf second nature to me-but 1t is one of the many pleasant re- suits of taking up the game.
 About all the real worth while part of the world is based on friend ones real self is so disclosed. so startlingly disclosed in many in- stances, as on a golf course. The business man on and off the links is diffsrent. As a result of my eX perience l have learned to think of him as natural and an artificial man. and the natural man plays golf.
 In spite of the fact that so many men play golf for the friends they may make. there are others who find In 1t only an additional and improved method of making enemies. Without doubt there are many men who should not join any sort of a club. for they are not clubable by nature and they are not willing to achieve the clubable virtues.
 Likes And Disiikes.
 The majority seem to have strong likes and dislikes and as result there are sometimes cliques in golf clubs that frequently prove dis astrous to the organizations. It is often particularly hard for the of ficers of a club to be on friendly terms with the whole membership. One reason 1 favor a nine hold course is that with the limited mem bership one finds more of the friend ly spirit of a large and hospitabl e family.
 Notwithstanding the minor acts of show themselves on a golf course there is no doubt that many of the warmest and most enduring friend- ships have been formed on the links
 Through golf I have able to meet interesting persons all over my own country and in other lands beside. Through the length and breadth of America I have hosts of friends. It pleases me more than I can say. I love not sets. of cliques. but the golfers themselves.
 The man with friendly. human feelings his fellowmen is on the right track when he learns. his golf game. The man at the club was right; the place to meet the real people is on the links, but he neg lected to state that golf is a won Gerful game in itself to be enjoyed even if one plays it alone.

COOK AND O'DOWD TOI MEET MONDA Y NIGHT
Favorites of Fans Will Stage Feature Bout in Local Arena. Both Have Fought Here Before

A fight that is expected to be the classic scrap of the year will be staged Monday night at S:3o o'clock at the Birmingham Athletic club. The two principals have appeared here in separate fights and the fans were en- thusfas stic over their showing. The bout Monday night will bring two of the best bantamweight fighters in the south together, one the bantam weight champ, the other a rugged fighter, who is cool, deliberate and sure. Tim ODowd of Atlanta will meet Joe Cook of New Orleans.
 Tim O'Dowd is well known fig ure in local ring circles He has ap- peared here in a number of fights, in which he has earned a host of friends He is a clean boxer and a good sportsman. Atlanta newspapers have recently eXtolled the fact that he is not only clean in the ring, but he is moral youngster outside of it. He attends Sunday school regularly and takes an active part in Sunday school work. He is vice president of his class in the Woodward Avenue Baptist church of Atlanta. O'Dowd is still in his teens, but has made a wonderful record in the ring. He has taken on all ctmers selected by his manager without a murmur. Some of the scrappers selected by Jimmy Ma son, his manager, have been Pal Moore, Sammy Sandow, Bobby Hughes, Kid Pancho, Johnny Mccoy and Babe Asher. These are the lead ing fighters that Tim has stacked up against. However, he is expecting one of his toughest scraps against Cook here Monday night.
 Cook Showed Well.
 Cook appeared here against Proto some time ago, and put up a great scrap. He demonstrated in this fight that he had level head on him and was not easily upset. He took Proto's S slugging and great infighting in an easy manner and never seemed wor- ried. He had ProtC in a bad condi tion in the middle rounds of the scrap. although Proto's great finish induced the referee to give him the decision. Cook is fighter who knows how to conserve his energy and although he does net let his fight lag he never wastes energy in useless blows.
 The bout Monday night should be
 
 reason alone that both men are cool headed and experienced. O O O
 Preliminary Card.
 A good card tf preliminaries has been arranged for the evening. Tom Lacey will meet Max Scholder in the feature wrestling bout. This should be a good go, as both men are clever wrestlers.
 Big Boy Edwards will meet Charles Lovingood in the six-round semi final boxing match. Young Bat ting Kelly will meet Hollis Arntld l in four-round bout. The other preliminaries will be announced later.
 Tickets are going fast for the bout and the B. A. c. officials are con sidering adding extra seats to take l care of the Shriners who will be here for the dedication of the temple next week.
