This Pink-cheeked Tenor Singer Proves
to Be Tough Egg With Boxing Gloves on
BY JOE WILLIAMS

There were two reasons why Sammy
Mandell would never amount to a dern
as a prize fighter.
~ He was a handsome pink
checked boy.
(2) He sang tenor.
That was what loiterers around the
pool rooms in Rockford, ILL.,, used to
say.
1t sounded like good logic. This
subtle business of demolishing jaws
never did put lofty premium on Val
entino contours and operate tonsils,
anyway.
Nobody ever called Bat Nelson a
sheik. Jim Jeffries fell few degrees
short of being an Apollo. Abe Attell
would pass in a crowd, provided you
weren't particular. Even when Bob
Fitzsimmons wore a blond toupee it
was hard to work up any enthusiasm
over his Grecian features.
But worst Of all Mandell faced a
career in the prize ring as tenor
singer! That was the quill that irri-
tated the porcupine's back.

that's the business for you, Sammy,

You may recall reading about this
Mandell kid lately. He has had
rather astonishing career in the ring
the past two years, fighting first as
a bantam, then as featherweight,
and now-we are privately informed
he is to go after lightweights,
White, Moran and the rest. Ulti-
mately it will be Leonard.
Mandell is still a rosy-faced youth.
Bright young men who go in for pic
turesque phrases call him "the sheik."

SEEK PRECEDENTS TO
DEV ELOPEMENTSM
DAUGHERTY CASE
Only Once Before Has
Cabinet Office Been
Asked to Resign.
BY WILLIAM G. LYON.

copyright by inc San Antonio Light
Washington, ID. C.. March His
torians hereabouts are wondering j
present day circumstances are making
vital history for future students t.
ponder over. Many there are who ar
searching musty archives and studyin,
long idle records to see what prece
dents there are, if any.
Has cabinet officer ever beer
requested to resign by the President
and refused?
The answer it yes. The circumstan
ces surrounding 1t led directly to tn,
only impeachment of n President in
the history of the United States. The
coincidence with present circum
stances, in measure, are quit,
marked. The President involved hap
pened TO be serving the unexpiret
term of one who had died in office.
There is only one case on record
of such action. The President was An
drew johnson. The cabinet officer was
Edwin NJ. Stanton, secretary of war
Secretary Stanton, who had been
President Lincoln's secretary Of war
offered his resignation to President
Johnson Immediately after that official
had assumed the Presidency upon the
death Of Lincoln. Mr.. Johnson declined
the resignation and requested Mr..
Stanton to retain his portfolio. Mr..
Stanton acquiesced.
In short time President johnson
became engaged in bitter fight with
Congress over policies to be pursued
in the reconstruction of the Southern
states that had seeded. Secretary
Stanton took the stand on the side OF
Congress. On Augut 3. 1867. the
President asked for the secretary's
resignation. Mr.. Stanton declined to
resign.
BY the "tenure Of office act. y
passed in the preceding March. as q
curb on the President. it had been pro-
vided that consent Of the Senate was
necessary to remove any officer whose
appointment was subject to confirma-
ton by that body. The law, however.
gave the President the power to sus-
pend such an officer during the recess
of Congress.
Accordingly, on August IL. 1867.
the President suspended Stanton. Con-
oress did not meet until the following
December on January 13. 1868. the
Senate refused TO concur in Stanton's
removal and he was restored to office
Johnson refused to recognize Stanton
as Secretary of war and on February
81. again attempted to remove him.
Again on advice Of Republican leaders
N Congress, Stanton refused to ge+
out.
This attempted removal was the di-
rect cause of Johnson's impeachment
which was voted in the House on Feb
ruary "a. and was the chief charge
upon which johnson was tried. After
Johnson's acquittal by a narrow mar
in in the Senate, Secretary Stanton
resigned.

Major Leaguers Have Some Tall
Marks TO Shoot at This Year

and they will stop Glowing him to
first all of the time.
Duncan of Cincinnati scored runs
in twelve games in succession in 1873.
Hauser of the Athletics scored in ten
consecutive games. The odds against
either performance are tremendous and
it is quite possible that neither will be
surpassed in 1924.
Frisch Made 223 Singles.
Frank Frisch made the most one
base hits in 1923. Jameson did the
same thing for Cleveland. Frisch has
not played ball as long as Jameson.
Frankly, he hasn't played long enough
to begin TO make records, but he is so
good that they can't keep him from
it. Frisch made 223 singles, Jameson
mad. DO,
Iris Speaker led the American
League in two-baggers last year and
also made a new record for the league.
He hit 50 of them. Iris is the hitting
est two-base hitter that ever moved
about in the American League. He
can't get to &rst without trying TO
make the next station and usually he
makes it. Roush of the Cincinnati's
led the National League in two-base
hitting but he didn't make any record.
Luque of Cincinnati was the boss
pitcher of the National League last
year. Managers all over the circuit are
betting right now that he won't be IN
1924. Pennock was the best winner
Of the American League. Pennock had
q lot more to do with the winning or
the championship for the Ianks than
some folks may concede.
Won -Four Out Of As.
, Ryan of the Giants and Jonnard Of
the Giants each pitched in 40 games
i'm 1923. No one ever thought about
that record. And Jonnard, with all
of that work. won only four games and
lost three That's the freak side TO the
records of the pitchers. Some of them
carry the hod all of the time. but
never get ray of the glory. Rommell
of the Athletics was in SO games. That
was more than one-third Of all the
games of the season. Who will be the
iron man this year? Mighty hard to
tell.
And one thing more. Which club
will be the most patient Gt bat IN
1924? The Giants drew 4S7 bases on
balls in 1923. The Clevelands led their
league with 633. Very little is heard
about bases on balls when the talk is
loudest concerning batting. But its
the bases on balls that help to put up
the batting averages and make clubs
dangerous even when some folks think
they are not doing so well.

Norway offers Opportunity

is so near realization that the govern>

mark have appointed commissions to
discuss the question of transmission Of
power from Norway through Sweden
TO Denmark. Once this is accomplished
the next step to Germany will not
be long. The distance from Norway
to Denmark and Germany is about
800 to 700 kilometers (310 and 43i

From the foregoing it is plain that
