WHAT OUR
LAWMAKERS
ARE DOING

The State Senate went on record
as opposing payment Of back salaries
to the three members OF the Board ol
Control, former Governor George w
Donaghey, X. P. Williams and J. r
Jobe
By a vote of "a to 6, the Senate
indefinitely postponed a bill introduc
ed by Senator Grabiel to pay the sal
aries.
Two years ago the legislature goi
in row over bills to abolish tho
board. The Senate refused to pass
the abolition bill, whereupon the
House, in retaliation, refused to pass
an appropriation to pay members ol
the board.
Governor McRae reorganized the
board, and Mr.. Jobe was named sec
retary. Several months ago he sue
ceeded w. H. Hall as a member Of
the board. The three members have
been discounting their warrants al
banks.
An effort will be made, 1t was said
to pass a bill giving the salary to
Mr.. lobe. who has acted as secretary
as well as a member Of the board,
It was contended on the floor of the
Senate that Mr.. Donaghey and VIII.
liams took the appointments knowing
there was no appropriation, and with
the understanding that they were to
serve without pay.

TheBest Year
Since 1920!
tBy the Associated Negro press)

Chicago. H., June 2s.-Negro
baseball In America is enjoying its
most prosperous year since its ban
ner year, 1920. At this time the
Negro National league was organized
and proceeded to place baseball
among the Dark Group upon a higher
plane than ever before.
Late June OF 1923 sees the game
again on the upward march both in
progress and attendance in all the
Western cities. Four clubs are now
punched at the top with only a slight
percentage margin between them.
The pennant winner in the league ia
still a deep, dark secret. four clubs
having a good chance to grasp the
bunting of supremacy for the 1923
season.
The Indianapolis A. B. C.'s started
the season in fine style, winning the
first ten games played and retained
the lead until recently when they in
vaded Detroit. and succumbed to the
terrific onslaught of the Wolverines.
The Indianapolis club then took on
the American Giants and after this
series the pennant was still matter
of guess as this series did not defin-
itely eliminate either, but rather
made it more hazy as the AS are to
be hosts to the Chicago entry ON
July z on their home grounds.
In the meantime, Detroit and Kan
sas City will be battling along for
the edge, st. Louis and the Cubans
along with Milwaukee will give the
|contenders something to worry about
whenever they meet.
At the beginning of the season it
was thought in some quarters that
the raid of the West by the East
would hamper the progress of the
Western league clubs-but events
have proved this to be unfounded.
Already disruption is stalking the
Eastern clubs and players who jump
ed East are seeking an opportunity
to play the "Prodigal Son" role.
1923 win. no doubt, prove the
banner year Of the West in many re-
spects. Colored umpires have been
added and are proving that they have
the goods and can deliver them when
given a chance. Next season will see
a few more innovations in the West
that will tend to increase the eff
cheney as well as the attendance of
the league in the West. In the East
favorable conditions exist and after
the new Eastern combination gets to
going smoothly. 1t should be able to
develop good league race.

SAILED OCEAN FOR CENTURY
Whaling Vessel Had Long Life Before
She Met Her Fate Amid the
leo Of the Arctic.

The firm Of J. and W. r. Wing Of
New Bedford has gone out Of busi-
ness. The announcement means little
to the present generation. but when
the whaling industry was at its height
the nag Of the house Of Wing, letter
"W" on q neld Of white and q red ball
on 4 field Of blue. was known on the
seven seas.
Twenty-Five ships sailed under the
Wing nag. Most Of them met tragic
end, says London Tit-Bits. The John
Dawson, after making 4 dozen voyages
to the whaling grounds, was lost In .
storm or Panama. The bark Kathleen
was In service from 1867 to 1902,
when she was rammed by q whale
and went down or the South Amer
lean coast. Several other vessels
were crushed in the Arctic Ice.
The bark Triton, q veteran Of ex-
citing experiences before the Wings
bought her, was in tho whaling busi-
ness for q hundred years before the
Arctic ice finally caught her.
In 1s46 she was attacked BY natives
Of South sea island at which she
had touched. The crew rallied to the
defense with whaling guns. harpoons
and lances, but ave Of their number
were killed and seven wounded be-
fore two Nantucket ships came up
and rescued them.
During the Civil war there was
both perilous and profitable work for
the whalers. Confederate cruisers,
particularly the Shenandoah and the
Alabama, were raiding northern ship
ping. The Wings were advised to put
their ships under the British dag. "ru
send my ships out under the Stars
and Stripes II every one Il lost" de-
,clared William Wing.
He did. and only one Of them was
captured. The Shenandoah overlook
