A Great Earthquake at Sea.

(New York Wcrd.)
 The earthquake that caused destructive tidal waves in Hawaii estimated at the Oahu observatory to be 2,000 to 5000 miles distant. Manila estimated it distant 5000 miles, The earthquake expert of St. Ignatus College Cleveland, Father Ignatius, places it midway between Hawaii and the Aeutian Islands. Few better places could be selected for disturbance violent that in Oahu it put the earthquake chart needle out of business for twenty minutes.

Five Regulars
Fail to Make
HOme-Run Drive

Last season 524 home runs were
made in the American League.
Fifty-nlne players participated
in 100 or more games during the
season. Such players are regard
ed as the regulars.
Most of the home runs made
were contributed by the SO regu-
lars, yet five of them failed to
break into the circuit-swat col
umn.
This quintet included Ernie
Johnson Of the White Sox: Mud
dy" RueL Boston; Bill Wambs-
ganss, Cleveland; Bassler, Detroit,
and Mulligan of Chicago. The
first three named took part in over
14O battles, while Rassler toiled in
III, and Mulligan 1913.
Not only did Bassler fail to lace
out a single four-ply swat all sea-
son but he didn't even get triple.
The only extra base spokes the
Cobb backstop accrued were IA
doubles. Ruel wasn't much better,
either. the Red Sox catcher COM
pillng but one three-bagger, and Is

was the only one of the five to bat

Jennings Will
Succeed McGraW
AS Manager
BY NEA Service

New York, Jan. 81 If Charles
Stoneham, principal owner of the
New York Giants, decides to, quit
baseball and John McGraw be-
comes president Of the club, it
means that Hughey Jennings will
act as manager
1t is said that McGraw's signing
OF Jennings as his assistant was
merely a forerunner of what he
had in store for the former Detroit
manager, the ultimate leadership
of the Giants.
Jennings and McGraw played to-
gether on the old Baltimore ORR
oles. They are OF the same school,
the real fighters. Jennings knows
the McGraw style better than any
other baseball manager in the
country. Serving as McGraw's as
sistant for the past few years has
merely served to polish Jennings
up.
StOneham. it is said, intends to
retire from baseball to go back into
the racing game. Such action on
his part means McGraw for the
presidency of the club and Jennings
as manager.

BILL
PREPARED FOR.
LEGISLATURE
Miss Mary Downey, State Ii
brarian, Draws from Ex-
perience of Other States

Endorsed by the state library COM
mission, Governor r. A. Nestos and
many persons interested in library
work in the state, bill will be in
troduced in the present session of the
state legislature providing for the cs-
adjustment, maintenance and super
vision of county Libraries, supported
by a mill tax on property in the
county petitioning boards of county
commissioners for such Libraries.
The bill which has been drafted
and now is about ready for intro
duction into the legislature, en-
bodies the best parts of all laws af-
fecting county Libraries in all states
where the system is in full force and
effect. Much Of the new law was
taken from the similar laws of Utah
and California, and has the endorse
ment of Mary N. Downey, director
and librarian of the state library
commission, who assisted in the pre-
liminary investigation and survey of
such laws. Her wide experience in
library matters, coupled with an in
innate knowledge of the workings of
the county library law in other states
was sought in the drafting of the
new bill for submission to the state
legislature at this session.
The bill, in part, reads as follows:
Section /. The county commissio
ers may levy annually tax not to
exceed one mill on the dollar of all
taxable property in the county for
the establishment and maintenance
Of county public Libraries; provided
that on a petition for said library by
ten per cent of the taxpayers of the
conut, the county commissioners shall
levy the tax; provided that the
amount accruing from the tax from
municipalities maintaining free pub
lie Libraries may be turned over 10
the local boards; provided also, that
if the local board makes application
for and receives the funds raised
within the corporate limits, that
municipality shall not participate in
the benefits of the county library.
Section 2. If there is free pub
lie library in the county that, the
board of county commissioners may
contract with the board of directors
of such library, upon such terms
and conditions as may be agreed up
on between such boards, for.the use
of such library, by all such residents
of the county, and may place under
the supervision of said library board
the county library funds, hereinbe-
fore provided for, to be spent by
said board for the extension of the
free use of said library to all resi-
dents of the county, excepting those
residing in such places as are ex-
empt, according to to the provisions
of section one. >4
The bill further provides that
county commissioners may contract
with the county board of adjacent
county library for library service
to the whole or any part of the coun-
ty under their supervision, upon such
terms smay be agreed upon ex-
cept incorporated towns and town
ships maintaining tax supported Ii
braries. f

N. D. Tells of Election

"The recall election of Oct. %,

majorities," is one passage in a 1000

Grant Libby, professor of American
History at the Uhivers ty of North
Dakota for the "l921"-three VOL

"The adoption Of new industrial
programme by the farmers Of the

any sudden, impulse or new theory"
he says, referring to investigations
o. the faculty Of the state agri-
cultural college. For instance Pres
dent f. F Ladd Of the college gave
scientific proof of the loss of fertil-
ity that followed constant shipping
of gran out of the state, and also
showed by experiments in a model
flour mill that the grain grades were
not based on the our producing quail

arbitrary and tended to deprive the

well-knOwn National League play
err appraises McGraw's pitching
staff.
\ "The Yankees as they faced the
Giants were about the worst team
in the American League. Most
any kind Of pitching would have
stopped them.
1.-THE critics said Scott had great
speed but any player who watched
his game will tell you that his
speed was just $3.50. Ordinarily,
the Yankees would have murdered
it. McGraw can't bank too strong
ly on him. Really, Nehf is the
only certainty.
That stuff Of McGraw's may
look great against the Yankees,
but it isn't going to make much
Roadway in the National League.
McGraw really needs two seasoned
veterans unless some of his young
sters come through in great STYLE"
concluded the veteran star.
Evidently John j. McGraw feels
just that way about it as he is in
the market for pitchers.

reasoning. Colby frankly admits that
Carl Weilman of the st. Louis
Browns, who was forced to quit
baseball last year because of poor
health, gave him more trouble than
any other pitcher in the American
League
Weilman, by many American
League players, was regarded as a
nothing pitcher" In baseball, a
nothing pitcher is one who has
just ordinary speed and fair curve.
That was the most of Weilman's
repertoire, but in addition he had a
change of pace and wonderful con-
troll.
"Weilman knew the type of ball
liked least, and just where l didn't
like it. He would proceed to serve
me on such diet through the en-
tire game" is Cobb's explanation of
why Weilman proved 80 troublesome.
In other words, he always pitched
intelligently.
