Baseball drove politics and Teapot

of the nation.
Thousands Of Americans sat in

their favoritos in action or watch

This is the schedule for the open

New York.
The 1924 race, baseball leaders
say, promises to be another record
season from the standpoint of at
tendance and close finishes in both
organizations. Ben Johnson, prcsi-
dent of the American League, fore
casts a close race, with the worlds
champion Yankees as the logica
choice to capture The flag.

Billy Evans Says

Some of baseball's greatest stars
have come direct from the colleges |
tc the majors.
AS references we give Eddie Col
Inns, George Sisler, frankie Frisch,
Joe Dugan, Pete Donahue, and
host of others.
The scollege field has become very
productive for the majors. The big
league scouts look over the "rah-
rah" athletes with the greatest OF
care.
Signing a college ball player is
far more difficult task than get
ting a sandlottcr to agree OH terms.
The collcgian is a business man.
knowing there is demand for his
s, rviccs, he seeks to sell himself to
the highest bidder.
1t is surprising what some Of the
educated stars make the big league
| magnates come across with. A bonus
for signing, in addition to a fat
salary, is usually stipulated.
! The sandlotter in most cases is
willing to accept fair salary aud a
lot Of promises, but not the collegian.
The "rah-rah" star, knows that
making the grade in the big show
is u difficult task. He seeks to pro-
tect himself against failure.
Very often when some college star
is signed to Il big league contract
it is stipulated that he cannot be
sold or traded during the length OF

| While major league club. seldom
gives more than Il onc-ycar contract
to IL recruit, no matter how promis-
ing he may seem, still I know of
several collegians who put over a
two year contract, and one. who was
fortunate enough to tic n major
league club up for three years.
The colleeian is always wise
though to have the contract so word
ed that the club must pay regardless
of the showing he makes.
Well do remember the case. OF

better than ever to me, despite the
loss of so great a shortstop as Ban

a recruit able to step right in and

it is going to be a tough job to

If the weather became hot, she
grew angry. She banged the
dishes down on the table: she let
the biscuits burn. But she would
bring cream to Chickie or get
down a jar Of preserves. Chickie
understood this as her way Of
asking pardon.
Other little incidents pierced
her. There was that trifle about
BERTHE Groom. This was a thin,
white-faced boy of seven or eight
and he was always hanging
/around the ranch. Agnes Rob-
bins gave him cookies; she nagged
at him and petted him. One
day he got under her feet some
how as she was reaching over
the stove. She brought herself
erect with a jerk. She reached
down and grabbed the boy and
struck him violently in the face.
Chickie saw that from the
porch. She turned away-sick-
ened. A few moments later the
little fellow was going down the
road. Chickie followed. She
reached down and put her arm
on his shoulder, ready to cry
that such a mite should suffer
SO. She said: Don't you care.
Bertie."
He shook off her arm: "Shucks
Don't hurt me none! like
her." He kept gulping. "She
don't mean nothing. She's good
to me most times. She just gave
me these" He showed Chickie
a bag Of nuts and raisins.
And Agnes was overcome with
remorse. She justified herself:
"Oh-the brat! Why doesn't
Molly Groom keep him home!
They kick him enough there
the poor, miserable little fellow
I'm sorry for him"
She told Chickie then of Ber-
tie Groom-and that Molly was
lucky enough to be let stay on at
home the way she was. Old
Man Groom, her father, was a
lazy, drunken sort but he had a
heart. He had taken the girl
and her child in and let them
stay.

The month of her vacation was
drawing to q close. Jonathan
wrote a letter. 1t had a high, roll

ran merrily together, though at

and impressive period.
He told Chickie all the news

Now she was a little afraid.
She wondered If this was the
/. place-if she might really rest
here, secure.
The room at the top Of tile
stairs was long and narrow, with
many little windows, and these
were hung with a lowered dim
ity. The roof was peaked, irreg-
ular, roughly beamed. From these
beams baskets of wandering jew
were hung. There was a cool
brightness, like a peace in the
place.
There were but two men on the
ranch now. Chickie's place was
set at the end of the table. The
two men ate and didn't speak.
Once the wiry fellow who had
driven her out and whose name
was Billy. said confidently: "Guess
youll like it here, Miss, if you
don't get too lonesome. City folks
likes the noise"
. She answered: "I like the quiet"
But she felt so strange and so
quiet within herself-like a person
she didn't at all know-that she
couldn't eat. She wanted to get
: back to that room, sit at the little
window and look out to the far
hills. Plan and think.
She did this. She sat there all
the afternoon, her hands folded in
her lap. Agnes Robbins brought
her. a glass Of lemonade. She
said to her: do you mean to
stay long, Mrs. Clayton?"
Perhaps a month-maybe two
three-I'm not quite sure" Then
Chickie told the story she had
prepared. Her husband was a
mining engineer. He was in
South America now and would be
there for quite a while. She had
come up here to rest.
"You look little tired"
Chickie started. But she couldn't
bring herself to go on-wait a

came here five years ago. I never

ming. 1 rather like it now"
Agnes Robbins told in a vivid.
sketchy way of her early life. She
had been on the stage as a girl.
She had travelled all over the
country.
Her husband was a musician. In
his fifties he became melancholy.
So they thought ranch was the
thing for them. 1t hadn't proved
so. She was restless to get away
now that he was gone.
Chickie asked: "Is any one plan.
ming to buy it?"
"Oh-it's a good place II the
right person manages it,
Chickie laughed: well, hope
you don't sell for a WHILE"
Perhaps we Shan't-"
In the evening she took q walk.
1t was still warm. The quietude
grew. 1t touched her like a subtle
presence. 1t gave her a subdued,
beaten feeling. At the end Of
field was a mound under an oak
tree. She sat there. She began
to figure in an absent, forlorn way
then with a vivid, uneasy panic.
She said to herself: give
months-maybe longer" Nights
and nights like this-days and
days-with the quiet and the heat
and the appalling aloneness. She
was afraid, merely thinking Of it.

MICHAEL SUPPLY LANDS BUSINESS
Head Of Company Goes Out In

The Michael Supply company was founded 30 years ago by John E. Michael, and in it's early days was a very modest business, but today it's services arc in demand in many south ern states. The present organization of the company Is Carl H. Michael, president, and A. W. Hardin, secretary. The Michael Supply company also maintains business in Sylacauga, of which Oscar l.. Michael is manager.

Michael went to Jackson, Miss, to bid upon the heating plant for the Mississippi tuberculosis sanitarium. He had to compete with plumbers from St. Louis, New Orleans, Cincinnati and other large centers. He secured this contract at figure around $35,000. Ihen there was another contract to figure on in the same building, that of all the plumbing. MT. Michael got busy on this, and secured it at figure that pushed his total business in this single building to over ninety and near one hundred thousand dollars. The metropolitan plumbers were "flahber- gasted" and demanded to know where is this Talladega" with a firm that could beat. them. No doubt when they enter the south for future business they will take into account the Michael Sup ply company and TalladegA

 Every day shipments are made to various points in the surrounding states, and the satisfactory work of the foundry is fully demonstrated by the large number of customers it has who have all their castings made here.
 Mir. Mcdonald has a patent for a railway brake shoe which has ever pos sibility of proving a great success. He has shipped it to railway lines all over the country for demonstration purposes and has many favorable re- ports upon it., as well as offers from companies to take it over and manu- facture it on a royalty basis. The Macon, Dublin and Savannah railway has adopted it for their equipment, and a shipment of five and half tons has been made. A number of other roads are now considering it's adoption. In this one article there is the possibility of development of a great industry in its manufacture.
