hard to keep off the team II he keeps
hustling.
Coach Wade has not seen enough of
his players to classify them into their
exact status, whether they are good,
mediocre or just average ball players.
He has seen quite a number of things
that needed correction and has not hes
itated long to make these corrections.
He wants speed and brains on his team,
and good pitching and hitting. He has
varied assortment of men out on
Denny Field every afternoon, and by
the time the collegiate schedule starts
should have these men on their toes.
Attract Notice
HOyt Winslett and Tommy Sewell
continue to attract quite a bit of no.
tice. Winslett was quite shy in the
last Ohio State game, but one could
hardly blame him, as 1t was his first
game of varsity ball. winslett seems
to have the markings of a great player.
He may not come through this year.
but it is the opinion of the Crimson
mentors that he will arrive in due time.
He is fast and has a wonderful throw
ing arm. His hitting is improving
daily and his base running will i'm
prove. Sewell is the third of the Sew
ells-Luke and Joe have gone before
him from Alabama to Cleveland-and
his classification has not been settled.
More is to be heard of him later.
Alabama drops into her collegiate
schedule with a big jar on April 2.
That day and the next the Crimsons
meet Furman. The next two days Ten

Crimsons rest, but Monday and Tues
day they tackle Howard. Wednesday

punched hits and slow work of the
Howard college infielders in knocking
down hot ones from the bats Of the
hard-hitting Mack clan gave the Phil
adelphians another one-sided victory
this afternoon, the Athletics winning
16 to 1. Nineteen hits were garnered
from the delivery of Hyde and Stubs,
while Ogden, Gray and Baumgartner
held the visitors in check, getting
tapped for but six safeties in the nine
frames.
Both Hyde and Stubs pitched good
ball and slow fielding of hit balls was
responsible for a number of the hits
chalked up against them. They were
little cratic at times, but turned in
a steady performance from the slab for
the most part. Il -
apple far to the optfield for their two
hits each, Shelton and Hyde also got
safe one each past the outfield for
singles. The Howard marker came
when Stevens singled in the fourth, ad-
vanced two bags on Brindleys single,
and scored when Shelton signalled the
hit and run idea. The play worked per-
fectly and the two lads received a large
hand on it. Stevens crossed the pan
too far ahead of an attempt to tag
him out, Bruggy tossing Shelton out at
first. *
Shirling Appears
"Shine" Shirling, former grid and
diamond star at Auburn, made his
debut with the Mackmen this afternoon
and turned in a snappy performance in
left field. In addition to dragging
down a number Of hard catches in his
garden, shirling swatted the apple for
three safe bingles.
Galloway had a perfect day with the
stick, receiving two free passes and

a good defensive game. Toeley failed to
get into the hit column, but showed
goor form at short. 1t was Howard

the long ones. On. his first trip, to the
plate Camp slammed one into right

Must Stay In Stands
The large number of fans which
swarmed out on the field Saturday
brought a word of warning from Prexy
Smith. The Baron management is
very glad to act as hosts to fans and
have them come out to the park to
watch the Barons practice. They APP
preciate the interest that the fans are
showing, but there can be no let down
on the rule that fans must stay on the

are again in the way of workmen.

y. Mother from En-

Letters received from Walter
Reeves by his mother show that
Walter--or "Jack," as he is known
to his many friends-is getting an
eyeful of many of the historic and
important places in the world as a
marine aboard the dstroyer Pitts
burgh.
Walter enlisted In the Marine
corps less than a year ago and
since that time he has visited many
countries of the Near East. In a
letter to his mother written from
Grovosco, Jugo Slavia, Nov. 4th,
the young soldier states that he is
enjoying the seaman's life and that
he was greatly impressed with the
Slavs progress since the termina-
ton of Che war which made them
an ind$endent state.
Walter states that the quaint
est and most interesting place he
has vitised was Bizerta, Africa,
where for one dollar, which is
equivalent to 10 farthings, he had
the most wonderful time of his life
and that for the past four months
he has seen things that he never
dreamed of seeing in a life time.
Jack" graduated from the To-
cal high school in 1928 and his
many friends will be interested in
knowing Of his whereabouts.

NEW SECRETARY Of
AGRICULTURE GORE
is A LONE WOLF
Successor 10 Wallace Is Far
mer and StockInan-FamII-
lar With Farm Problems
BY HARRY 3. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-When
Congress passed the law putting
regulation of meat packers and
stockyards in the hands Of the De-
partment of Agriculture, back in
1921, it set in motion the wheels
that put Howard M Gore, farmer
and stockman of Clarksburg, w
Va, into President Cool,dge's caoI-
net.
For Gore came TO gWashingtin
as a member of the racker and
stockyard administration
In that job he demonstrated
such thoroughgoing Familiarity
with farm problems 4nd such
ability as an administrator and
arbitrator that when c. W. Pugs-
ley resigned as assistant secretary
in September, 1928, President
Coolidge stepped him up into that
post as assistant to Secretary
Wallace.
His record as assistant secretary
was such that Coolidge now names
him as head of the department,
following Wallace's death.
It is not unlikely that Gore would
have served in the Coolidge cabinet
through the next four years, had
he not been elected to the governor
ship of West Virginia, beginning
next March. His term in the cabi-
net is, because of this, limited to a
little over three months.
Like Coolidge when he care to
the presidency, Gore is not an
Organization" man. When he an
nounced his candidacy for the gov.
ernorship he wasn't any more on
the inside with the G. O. P. powers
in his state than Coolidge was ma,

House. Perhaps that fact has ere
ated bond between them.
But just as Coolidge. as presi
dent, was able to take over contro

ally. and revamp it t. suit his owl
ideas, 30 may Gore, as governor,
overhaul the Republican ma:hine
in his home state.
As an outsider IN his race Tor
the Republican nomination fol
governor, Gore was nicknamed
fThe Lone Wolf" Old-timors
smiled bit at his presumption in
bucking the organization choice
for the office.
But as farmer in West Vir
ginia, though Gore lever had laid
any political fences, he had built
a hog-tight corral into which to
round up a personal following cf
West Virginia farm folks, old and
young.
He had for years been a booster
for and worker in the boys and
girls farm clubs.
He was an expert judge Of live
stock, and at county and state
fairs had handed out red, white
and blue ribbons to hundreds of
proud exhibitors.
He had stimulated state pride in
agricultural achievement by hit
ting the top of the New York
market each year with his fatted
lambs, and by turning ou annual
ly 1900 head or so Of fat Hereford
steers for the English n arket.
When the votes were counted iii
was found Cores farmer friends
had put ''The Lone Wolf" over the
top for the nomination, and on
Nov. a they turned the trick again
and elected him.
Whereupon his nickname was
changed overnight to "The Miracle
Man"
A stocky, round-he9der, smooth
faced man of 46, Gore looks JUS the
sort of "common-sensc" individual
Coolidge would prefer at the head
of the Department of Agriculture.
That he can apply common
sense, his friends say, was demon
strated some years age when heI
was preparing to buy several hun
bred additional head of steers for
fattening.

in Clarksburg, his wife being dead.

who never heard of Pirandello, their
fellow townsman.
Therefore they strenuously OBJ
jcted to the change. A committee of
the town council was equally di-
vided on the momentous subject.
Finally they elected a chairman to
decide things. And this wise man
decreed that half the street should
keep its old name and the other
half should get the new title. So
everybody was happy.
