Chapel Hill Cha8

w. C. Coker has promised to
have one of his goats slaughter
ed for a barbecue, and to invite
me to help consume it. Never
having eaten goat-meat, and be-
ing curious to know it's flavor,
| l look forward to the event with
keen pleasure. Mr.. Coker got
a blue-blooded she-goat- from
Pennsylvania two or three years
ago. Her name was Anemone,
and she knew it and answered
to it readily. Anemone, while
tied to a barn rafter with a
rope, managed to reach a win
dow, jumped out, and hanged
herself. She left a daughter
named Anemonella.
Mrs. Daniel, when she attend
ed a performance of the Caro-
lima Playmakers a few days ago,
was amazed, at the rise of the
curtain, to see one of her family
portraits over the mantlepiece; !;
and the stage was fitted out
with her furnishings and decor
ations. 1t seems that her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Moore, had made a
sudden raid on the home for the
benefit of the troupe, without in
forming Mrs. Daniel.
y *&
Frederick Koch and his eldest
son, Frederick, Jr., left on the
Playmakers' trip a week ago
last. Sunday. A morning or two
later, when Mrs. Koch happened
to sleep later than usual,
George, who is IL years old,
came in and informed her that
he had dressed and fed his
younger brother, Bobby, and had
prepared breakfast. It turned
out to be a good meal. George
is certainly a useful sort of
person to have about the house
in these days when servants
are SO hard to get.
After the colored football
team had won from the Hen
derson Normal School here the
other day, one of the boys of
the Chapel Hill high school was
heard to remark: "Well, if we
white boys did get put out of
the State championship race, l
am glad the colored boys have
kept up the football reputation
of the town."
am convinced that H. H.
Williams would have made good
as a cavalryman or a cowboy if
he had elected to embrace either
profession. Sunday afternoon
I saw him riding out on the
Hillsboro road and his horsemall-
ship stirred me to envy. When
/ used to have to serve occas-
ionally as major, in the absence
of my superior officer, | was so
occupied with the task Of stay
ing on the horse that | had lit
tie attention to devote to giving
orders. Consequently the job
was usually bOtched. Mr.. Will
liams sits his horse with an
erectness and yet a suppleness
that could not attain in q hun
dred years.
Returning to the younger
Koch generation for a moment /:
While the boy Fred was off on
the Playmakers' tour he sold the
book, Carolina Folk Plays" on
the floor of the house every
night, while he was not acting,
and cleaned up, altogether, eight
dollars in commissions. With

Puzzling Plays

THE PLAY
Here are two plays in which the
act of the batsman was Identical, yet
there is a difference in the result
produced.
In the first case the batsman hit
the ball to the shortstop, who made
a perfect throw to first, which would
have retired the batsman had not
the first baseman muffed the ball.
There was no other runner on at
the time. The ball rolled short dis
tance from the base. The batsman
gave it kick, sending it into right
field, and then raced to third base.
! IN the other case there was a run
ner on third and no one out, when
the batsman hit the ball to the short
stop. The throw had the batter beat
en-, but the first baseman muffed t:,e
bal. It rolled a short distance away
and the man on third decided TO try
for the plate. ~
The batsman kicked the bali, into
right field Asin the other case. the
runner on third easily scoring and

MIN0T AGAIN
SQUEEZES OYER
NECESSARY RUN
Beats Capitals, 4 to 3, in Fast
Game Played on the Local
Ball Diamond
MEET AGAIN TODAY

Minot took another tight game
from the local club here last night,
oucozinr out a to 3 victory. The
LEGAL club came from behind to make
three runs, and put men in scoring
pcsition in the eighth and ninth inn
inps but the necessary base hit was
not forthcoming.
Elmer Liefer was opposed on the
mound by Jimmy Throckmorton. Lie
fer pitched his usual steady game
while Throckmorton went badly in
the early innings, especially in the
third when Minot gathered four runs.
The local club was weakened with
both Tom Stanley and Nord out OF
the game. Nord was struck on the an
klc with pitched ball Tuesday.
Stanley was expected to get in the
game today. fnEp2fl
Mnot started out in the third inn
ing as if she was going to make
hundred. LAUDER got n two base
sock and Denison followed with Il
base hit, which scored him. Sprang-
er flied out to Reider. Gunther sa-
crficed. Coleman got a hree-bagger
along the right-field foul line, and
Walters scored him with single.
Hester scored Walters while he was
being run down between first and
second.
Bismarck got run in the second.
Bernier hit safely and was advanced
to third on Reider's single. He scor-
ed on McNight's sacrifice fly. Throck-
morton was safe in the fifth when
Walters juggled his hard hit ball
and got to second when Walters
threw wild to first. Fart advanced
him and Condor scored him with a
sacrifice fly to center.
In the sixth Reider hit for two
bases and would have made third but
for his game leg. Mcknight scored
him with single.
The two teams play again today
and Saturday, but not on Friday, and
doubleheader Sunday.
Coleman had six put-outs in center
field, and handled them all nicely.
Fart, for Bismarck, also performed
well in the center garden.

Recent Jumps in Swimming
Champs May Bring Change
In A. A. u. Rule 5
By NEA Service

Philadelphia, Aug. Humping of
prominent eastern swimmers from
one club to another probably will lead
to an early revision of the National
Amateur Athletic Unions one-year
unattached ruling.
Announcement to this effect fol-
lows the designations of two Phila-
delphia natators from their respec-
tive organizations.
The change will be promulgated
no doubt, when the national body
meets in the closing days of 1923.
Elizabeth (Betty) Becker, fancy
diving sensation of the PHILADELPHIA
Turnegmeinde, and George F. Paw
ling, 2O-yearold long distance star
OF the Philadelphia Swimming Club
are the latest ones to doff their old
colors.
Miss Becker, also 20, annexed
the United States women's senior in
door fancy diving championship a
few months ago for the second con-
secutive season. Next June she will
begin wearing the insignia of the
Ambassador Swimming Club, for
merly represented by Ethelda Bleib-
trey and Elizabeth Ryan. A year
from now-August, 1924-she expects
to swim under the banner of her new
love in the eighth Olympiad in Paris.
Betty, holder of numerous records
in the Middle Atlantic Association,
has been swimming for nine seasons.
Pawling, too, stands a good chance
OF competing in the Olympics. He
plans to cast his lot with the Hygeia
Swimming Club of Atlantic City
when his year is up.
He holds the junior national 44O-
yard crown. the one mile Atlantic
City pageant title for breasting the
tape first in the ocean race and the
6OO-yard and 88O-yard champion
ships.

gins is profiting by Columbia Uni
vcrsity's loss.
Lou Gehrig, individual star of the
Columbia nine this last spring, now
looks like he most promising recruit
the Yankees have picked up for a
long while.
In school Gehrig was known as
the Babe Ruth of college baseball"
He nit around .444. Slamming out
homers was his specially.
When he came to Columbia, Lou
essentially was a first baseman. But
Coach Andy Coakley was in need of
pitcher, so he put Gehrig to work
on the mound. And Lou justified
his confidence.

MINOT BOASTS
SOUTHPAW AS
TEAM CATCHER

The only southpaw catcher in
organized baseball, is the boast
of the Minot baseball club of the
North Dakota State League. He
is Andy Brandt and he joined the
club to finish the season for
them after ~Bing" Worner suf-
fered injuries.
Brandt has a good whip from
the pert side and not many bases
are stolen on him. He probably
won't ever show his wares in big
time. If for no other reason he is
not a youthful player. Brandt has
q youthful player. Brandt has
been playing independent ball at
his home town of Bottineau for
several years. He is big and
takes hcfty cut at the ball, al-
SO from the port side.

In 70 innings Gehrig struck out 70
men. He held his opponents to SO
nits.
Gehrig had two more years Of vars
ity competition at Columbia when
he entered the professional ranks.
But now, of course, he's out for good.
He was good football man, too, win
ming backfield berth on the ALL
Metropolitan eleven.
Columbia has lost a good man. 1t
will be, hard to replace him. But
Gehrig's alma mater is sure he will
follow in the footsteps of Eddie Col
Inns, George columbia" Smith and
other alumni who have won fame in
the majors.
And Higgins expects great things

THE INTERPRETATION
In the second play, where the run
ncr on first kicked the ball into right
field, while the runner on third was
attempting to score, the runner who
kicked the ball should have been de-
clared out for interference, while the
runner originally on third should
have been sent back to that base.
In kicking the ball the runner pre-
vented the possibility of the first
baseman getting the man at the
plate.
In the other case, bit of COM
mon sense should be mixed in with
the rules. In this case, there was no
play being made, and the runner who
had crossed first, and had made no
attempt to 60 to second, simply kick
ed the ball away.
l would have called time and sent
the runner who had advanced to
third back to first and inflicted no
other penalty.

Adventures Seem Successful in
 Efforts to Be Elected

London, April 6,--All sorts of ad- venturers seem to he able to get into British politics and even to secure elections 10 parliament

 Every candidate for the House of Commons, as an evidence of good faith is obliged to deposit the sum Of f150 with the election officers. This amount he forfeits if he falls to poll a certain small percentage of the votes cast. Jennings gave a check for this fl50 on a London bank.

GREAT LAKE DISTRICT
 EXPECTS BIG IRON YIELD
Forecasts state That 55.OOO.OOO Tons
 of Ore Will Be Shipped This Year.

Duluth, Minn. April G. - Activity of ore producing mines in the Lake Superior district is considered as evil dence of the prediction made by oper- ators that 55,oo0,ooo tons of iron ore will be shopped from the district this year. an estimate just 5.000,000 tons short of the record, and more than l0,000o GOO tons higher than the ton mage handled last year.
 Railroads are ordering new equip ment; day and night shifts of work CTS are repairing cars and docks; underground mines are working full shifts to increase their stockpiles, and on the open pit properties great chasms are being opened to make way for the removal of the mineral.
 Encouraging reports have been re- ceived from Great Lakes shipping points regarding prospects for an early opening of navigation. Ice con ditions are reported especially good at the head Of the lakes and on west ern Lake Superior. The late Febru- ary thaw loosened the thick ice foes and they have been pretty well broken up, mariners declare.

HAVE NEW METHOD
 0F CLOUD DISPOSAL
Process Was an Invention of Dr..
 L. Francis Warren

Washington. April 6.;---Rain mak' clouds by a process invented by Dr. H. Francis Warren is scientific pos sibility, and the further perfection of apparatus no doubt will prove ita feasibility. said pr. R. B. Moore re- gently to The Associated Press. Dr, Moore Is chief chemist of the United States bureau of mines While he has not vet had opportunity 10 see Dr, Warren's apparatus in operation, Dr. Moore has been interested in the method since it's inception and has had faith in the soundness of tho scientific principle on which 1t is based.
 Use An AirpIane
 "The rain making method consists in charging a disectric Ca material that retains an electric charge.) such as fine sand, with a static charge. and then sprinkling this sand over the top of a cloud by means of an airpanc," :" said Dr. Moore. AS everyone knows clouds consist of minute particles of water. large proportion of which are charged. All the particles in the same cloud are charged either nega- lively or positively and, therefore, as they carry the same sign, they repel each other when they come into too close contact. This mitigates against the coalescence of the particles into a size that allows them to fall through Enc atmosphere in the form of rain.
New Britain herald., 1923-04-06

Anything which will disapate the charge on the particles will help coalescence and, therefore will assist in precipitation"
 T have had no opportunity for per- sonal ohsorvaton," Dr, Moore oon- tinued. 'in connection with the tests already made, hut I have read the af- iIdavits of the observers, From those 1t appears that n single airplane has been able to disslnate a cloud a mile or two long over 1,00o feet deep in few minutes by using about 100 pounds of charged sand
 Apparatus Not Perfected
 "The apparatus which Dr. Warren uses for charging the sand is not hy any means perfected, and he is able only to got l2,000 or 14,00o volts on the particle" nr Moore continued. "In addition 1t has not been possible, so far, 10 charge more than small proportion of the sand grains. I see no reason why the voltage cannot be increased with improved apparatus up to 3O,000 volts or even more. and als. why the percentage of charged grains cannot he greatly increased. Under such conditions q still greater effect should he obtained with a given weight of sand,
 "'rhe work is still In It's initial sta ges and it is difficult to state def nitely its future possibilities. No trials have been made on fog. as the conditions have not been favorable for an airplane to go up in a fog and make the test
 Combination of Mist
 "Fogs are a combination of mist or clouds in contact with the earth, mixed with more or less smoke Whether it will be more difficult or easier to get rid of such fogs than has been the case with clouds high np in the air, Is vet to be determined. but the methods certainly show great promise and justify complete investi- gation by satisfactory series of trials with improved apparatus. If fogs can be dissipated the result
