Skinner, centerfielder, made a perfect peg to the plate and Sullivan with the ball ia hand waiting for Welch dropped the ball as he slid into the plate.

JOURNEY IF P0NY EXPRESS RIDE ERS ID BE RE-ENACTED
Former Trail Of Early Mes SengerS To Be Followed
 Once More

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, August 3O.-(By Associated Press)-A lone man, rid ing his horse in St. Joseph one April afternoon in 1860, completed the first trip of the pony express service over land by horseback from Sacramento and established cross continent com munication between the vast stretches of the west and the east. While this rider was being acclaimed in St. Joseph, another who left St. Joseph 10 days earlier was greeted in Sac ramento. The two had shortened communicst tion between the Pacific and Atlantic many thousands of miles.
 Tomorrow the romance and adven- ture begun by these two riders will be re-enacted, when another rider will cross the Missouri river by ferry and head toward the Pacific coast in a revival of the pony express, com memorating the deeds of the early messengers. Travelling in 70mile relays, riders will travel through Kansas, Colorado. Utah, Neveda, California and enter San Francisco rial of the pony express. The begin ming of the historic pony express ac- cording to one version told by Rob ert Tracy, now dead, who lived in St. Joseph at that time, is that it grew out of bet.
 Senator W. M. Gwin of California in the fall of 1854 made a trip over land by horse from California to the middle west with B. F. Franklin, gen eral manager of the freighting con cern of Majors. Russell & Wendell. one of the large stage companies of the middle west. On the way the feasibility of a pony express was dis cussed, but the matter was dropped.
 O O O
 Uo1er G4nrtad ExurPsS
 With the increase of population in California due to the gold rush of '49, demands were made for faster communication between California and Washington. The shortest route then was by boat to Panama, portage across the isthmus to the Atlantic and up the Atlantic coast to Wash ington. New York capitalists saw good field and in the winter of 1859 asked Congress for a subsidy Of S10.0O0,000 to establish a pony eX- press. Then Senator Gwin recalled his talk with MT. Franklin and sent hurried call to the midwest stage firm. Mir Russell, senior member of the firm, went to Washington and said that his firm could carry the mails across the continent in 10 days. stating: T am willing to bet $10,OOO on it."
 His bet was taken.
 The bet was on the delivery or maj from Sacramento to St. Joseph. All went well with the riders from the west until the Platte valley was reached and there MT. Russell almost lost his bet The Platte river was swollen over it's banks and dangerous for a horse and rider to ford But the rider reached the other side, only to have his horse caught in quick sand. IL was 10 miles to the next station, to which the messenger walked obtained a fresh horse and continued the race, making up much of the lost time The last rider, r. R Y. rode into St. Joseph just five minutes ahead Of the l0-day limit.
 A pageant depicting the founding of the pony express and the history of St. Joseph from 1862, will be given here tomorrow.

Although Maintaining Passive Resistance, Alterations In
 Ruhr Policy
By FERDINAND JAIN OeaSed Wire to The AEe-Herald)

BERLIN, August 9O-The German government contemplates some al- teratio1s" in it's Ruhr policy, ac- cording to information given tho United News by sources close to Chancellor Stresemann.
 Passive resistance will be main taired, but it is understood that tine coal shortage has become so acute that owners will be permitted to ar range with the French to resume mining in the zone.
 The alterations also may include lifting the ban on the use of French operated railroads by Ruhr inhabi- tants. and permitting them to pay coal taxes to the French.
 If accomplished, the new policy may possibly lead to an ultimate armistIce.
 It is doubtful, however. whether such a policy can be put into force without serious opposition from the nationalist groups.
 The Pan-Gernan party has an nounced it's new program, in which stronger measures of passive resist anee are urged. They demand meas ures of revenge against the French, and call for a dictatorship in Ger many.

Alteration Necesssry.

Alteration of the resistance policy has practically been necessitated by new aggressive course by me French in the Ruhr. According to information from the district, France intends to squeeze coke out of the dead ovens, even al the cost of con flicte with the laborers
 Hitherto, except for dismissals of government railroad men and city employees. the occupation authorities have steered clear of trouble with the private workmen.
 But General DeGoutte's declara- tion that the cokeries must and will be run, and that ruthless revenge will be meted out to any committing sabotage. is taken by tne rGntiAss as a final ultimatum.
 In other words, the French are willing to risk riots or clashes be. tween workers and soldiers to ac- complish the avowed purpose of the ocoupation-saua aezin.; cok, a. d ( val out of the Ruhr.
 Government. author. ties and indus trialists realize that the French mean what they say. In this situation, an alteration of the resistance policy seems the only alternative to direct clashes.

FEWER FARM BOYSTAkE SHORT
COURSE
125 Enrolled This Year

Hard times in farming circles have
taken their toll from the numbers OF
students who are taking the Short
Courses in Agriculture at the State

The total enrolment is 125, somewhat
less than it has been for the past few
years. q,
Course l, General Agriculture and

Students are enrolled from New York,
Pennsylvania and Kentucky, as well
as New Jersey. Eight women are
taking the work.
1t is peculiarly significant that a
large proportion of the students are
from cities; or at least urban COM
munities. This is particularly notice
able in the poultry course, being an in
dication of the increasing popularity
of chicken raising among the novices.
1t is also an indication that city peo-
ple are realizing the value of poultry
