Of the college players, it is said,
recognize that those of their num-
Der who accept money or other pay
for their services are violating the
rules governing conduct of college
players during the vacation period,
and that they are themselves in
eligible to play college baseball
hereafter.
Asked if he had been connected
recently with any of the players as
ISOLATED with him in the alleged
scandal which resulted in his. be-
ing expelled from organized base
ball ranks, Jackson said he has not,
but appeared familiar with the To-
cation of several of these. Char
ley Risberg, he said, is now manag-
ing the Rochester team in a cir
cult similar to the South Georgia
circuit, playing Independent base
ball, with a number of former or
gained players on his paproIl; that
Felts is now managing a team for
one of the several Milwaukee sub
urbs and that Buck Weaver is
a team in an unorganized
circuit somewhere in Missouri, but
he did not recall the exact location.
Eddie Cicotte, he said, had drop
ped out of sight somewhere, he
not having heard anything what
ever concerning Cicotte during
some time past.
Jackson appears to be in the
pink of physical condition and had
no hesitancy at all in discussing
his baseball career and status. he
evidenced especial interest in young
ball players who might come under
his coaching and made no criticism
whatever of organized baseball Of
ficials who had part in his being
barred from baseball. Speaking di-
rectly concerning the alleged base
ball scandal in which he was one
of the central figures, Mr. Jackson
declared twelve men have
found me not guilty of the charges
made against me in this connection,
and there is nothing for me to
say" He referred to d suit for
$4,000 which he has filed against

In a word, organized baseball has

does it claim any jurisdiction over

Mr.. Jackson related many Incl
dents touching his recent baseball
career, disclosing that he had been
manager of the Bastrop team dur
ing some time past and that a num-
Der of players had been sent from
him into organized baseball cirL
cults. Only recently he sent Red
Holman to Meridian, Miss, where
he is now playing great ball in
the Cotton States League, and
Fave Davis, now playing with De-
catur in the Three-I League. was
formerly member of Jackson's
team at Bastrop. Neither of these
men have had an unpleasant ex-
perience as a result of having
played with Jackson since entering
organized baseball, and on the
contrary they have been compIi
mented, it is said, upon the excel
lent coaching Jackson gave them.
Playing now with the Bastrop
team are several college men, in
Guiding Lefty Wingard, of the Uni
versity of Alabama and Elmore,
who attends the same institution.
Numerous other college players are
playing on teams representing
towns in the unorganized circuit

attached, and all of these have been
playing with Jackson without pro-
test, and without their future status
being brought into question. All

Bassinger Has Hard Luck and

Bassinger, hurting for Americas
here Tuesday at the Playground

which coupled with some real hard
breaks IN the luck, lost his game
to Dawson So. The game was
Dawson's from the first inning
when Marquard was safe on
Wilkes error and advanced on Sui
livan's safety to right. C. Rawson
then batted out a swift single and
both Marquard and Sullivan romp-
ed across the rubber. In the sec
ond neither team was able to score,
but in the third Old Man Jinx got
on the job good and proper. 1t
started after Poore had gone out
from Wilkes to Collier, Marquad
lacing out a three-bagger and scor-
ing on Sullivan's long sacrifice fly
to Wade in center. c. Rawson
was the next man up and he con-
nected for a double with Burroughs
getting a homer, scoring two more
runs. Dawson scored again in the
fifth on a hit, fielder's choice
and an error, and in this frame
Americas also scored. The locals
started their run-getting when aft
er Paul had famed, Collier was
hit by a pitched ball and scored
on Parsons double. Parsons hit,
by every process of reasoning
should have been a homer, but it
passed over the fence just little
to the leeward of the marker, and a
ground rule made the bingle good
for only two bags. He died at
third when Bassinger went out
from Marquard to Burroughs and
Wilkes famed. The locals scored
in the seventh on two errors and
a double. and Americas started the
ninth with an ambitious effort
when Paul raped out a double 30

out from Drummer to Burroughs.

COLLEGE BUYS MORE LAND

Potts & Griffin, REALTORS and insur-
ance agents, have sold to Hood Col
lege thirty-siX and one half acres
from the property formerly known as
the Judge Motter farm. About a
year ago Hood College purchased the
land adjoining known as the Chester
Baker farm containing 461a acres.
This gives the above institution about
SO acres on the north side of Seventh
street and west side of North Avenue
of valuable land. There yet remains
unsold of the Judge Motter property
the mansion house, barn, outbuildings
and five acres of land.
The total acreage owned by the Col
lege is one hundred and twenty. This
purchase will no doubt be ratified by
the board of directors at the next
regular meeting.
The opinion has been expressed that
this purchase will be regarded in fu
ture years as one of the best the Col
lege has ever made. The College farm
of eighty acres has a large frontage
on Seventh street, and the new por-
ton is in direct line with the extern
sion of the city westward from North
Market street extended. 1t is quite
possible that within the next few
years the eastern portion of the new
purchase will be in demand for city
lots.
The enlargement of the farm proper
hastens the day when the entire plot
south of Seventh street will be used
exclusively for campus.-Frederick

FAMINE OF FARM WORKERS

In Maryland there are about 47,00C
farms, requiring from one to three
men, in addition to the owner or ten
ant farmer, to successfully operate
them. Reports from the different
sections of the State show in some
localities an alarming situation, in
others a disturbing state of affairs,
In not one county has there been re-
ported sufficient amount of farm
labor to make sure the return the
farmers so sadly need after the three
years of almost famine in farm life.
There seems to be a conspiring Of
causes to operate against the supply
of help, the principal being that the
producer cannot compete with the con-
sumer in the wage rate. In the west
ern part of the State repairs and lie
construction of railroads, building of
State roads and the revival of indus.
trial works generally are the disturb
ing elements On the Eastern Shore

WORD OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN

From time to time there has been

origin Of the word "Mephistopheles." :"
Some very bizarre explanations had
been propounded before the time Of
Goethe, who was himself forced to
own to the musician, Zulter, In q let.
ter Of November 20. 1929:
T cannot give any definite answer
to the question, whence comes the
name 'MephistophelesT"

tirely Greek-very dubious Greek

Goethe had q trick Of using the alb.

may be remembered that this particu-
larry irritated SchOpenhauer, who

FAKE WAR HERO PLEA

A new kind of postwar profiteer
who capitalizes on the injuries of
disabled former service men has
sprung up all over the country to
prey upon the pocketbooks of guilt
BILE persons endowed with more SYM
pathy than practical business sense,
according to C. Hamilton Cook, of
Buffalo, N. Y, national commander of
the Disabled American Veterans.
Utterly without scruples, this pro-
fteer, operating through so-called or
ganizations and spurious publications,
mulcts the American public each year
of thousands of dollars under the pre-
tense that the money will go to aid
permanently disabled veterans, Cook
declared.
The Disabled American Veterans re
Gently conducted a nationwide inves-
tigation which disclosed numerous in
stances of such practices the country
over, Cook said. He placed consider
able data and evidence purporting to
substantiate his charges before Off
cials of the Justice and Postoffice De
partments for governmental action
against the fraud perpetrators.
"The public generally is annually
being fleeced of vast sums of money
under the, guise of relief for crippled
former service men," Cook charged.
During the Christmas holidays,
Cook continued, "the country was cir
cularized by an alleged organization
that is not even recognized by the Vet
erans' Bureau, and several thousand
dollars were gathered in from people
who thought they were aiding the
wars disabled.
"Later an agent of so-called asso-
citation of the disabled returned from
Europe exhibiting cross he declared
he picked up from the grave of an un-
known American soldier. The War
Department has officially notified us
that there have not even been in ex-
istence any such legitimate markings
Since the Disabled American Veter-
ans undertook to expose such Frauds
Cook said, more than 100 persons have
been arrested in the Middle and Fan
West charged with soliciting for a
magazine purporting to be disabled
