Of the boys are either now with

other trial, we'll lay off 'em. We
have no quarrel with any Of them.
In some cases they are estimabia

the fact that they have been
boomers with the Griffmen this
season.
Oh, yes, while there are mar
wells every year, there are also
boomers and no club has q
monopoly Of either.

PiIlette Is Next.

TT ERMAN PILLETTE, pride
of the Detroit hurting staff
and touted as certain to
make new pitching records this
season after his wonderful cam
paign in 1922, is entitled to the
plush-upholstered card tray for
being the worst blooner in the
American League this year.
Pillette was largely responsible
for the high ranking of the
Tigers last season. He won nine
teen victories with an ordinary
ball club behind him and was de-
feated twelve times last year. He
has not approached that record
this year and has been outclassed
by "Hooky" Dauss and Sylvester
johnson. We give first honors to
Plllette as the American Leagues
prize bust this year.
Close to Pillette comes Rip
Collins. Ty Cobb traded Howard
Ehmke for Collins, letting a won
derful pitcher get away to land
sorry failure. Collins has never
equaled the promise he gave with
the Yankees at Jacksonville in the
spring Of 1920. Cobb blames his
failure for the fact that the
Tigers are not out in front right
now, but had Pillette pitched the
ball he did year ago-well. the
Tigers might be there.
Another sad bloomer in the
American League this year is
young Ted Blankenship, Of the
Chicago White Sox. A year ago
he seemed on his way to replace
Red Faber as the one real high
class >twirler in the ranks of the
Pale Hose. However, he is a
yOungster and still has q future.

and allowed TO play IN the OUT

expected to learn all necessary
that year and then hop right out

Largely because Of his advance

the Giants lineup when every
body but John McGraw had quit.
Finally, when he twice missed the

STATE CAPIT8L BUREAU !
 THE AGE-HERAT,D ! Montgomery An. Sent. II

An attempt will be made in the house of representatives Tuesday to take up for final passage the bill of Representative Smith of Lee, placing the burden of proof upon utilities in hearings before the Alabama public service commission in cases where the justness of an existing rate or regulation of the utility is questioned by complaint or citation, and the bill of Representative R. l.. Glenn of Lauderdale, which provides that where two or more railroads are under the same ownership and con trol, they shall be treated as one railroad for making purposes.
 Both bills are on the house calen- dar, but have not been made special orders, as has been the case with number of other bills. Representa- tive Travis Williams of Franklin county stated tonight that in view of the short time remaining of the leg islative session, friends of the meas-i ure will attempt Tuesday to have the two bills taken up for final pas sage. A four-fifths vote will be re- Quired to suspend the rules and take the bills up out of order Represen- tative Williams stated further that tomorrow he will give notice of 8 motion to take from the adverse cal endar of the house the senate bill abolishing second choice votes and restoring the double primary. The rules of the house require notice of a motion to take from the adverse calendar to be given a day in ad- vance, so that the fight on the mo- tion will not be waged until the next legislative day. A majority of the total membership of the house must be obtained to take the bill from the adverse calendar, where it was placed by a 9-to-1 vote of the committee on privileges and election
