Fathers Send Sons To
Penn State In
Footsteps

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, Sept.
22.-Sons Of three former Penn
State football stars will enroll
in the incoming freshman class
this fall, and all of them will be
numbered among the yearllng
grid candidates who will report
to Coach 3. M. Hermann. This
is the first time the son of a
former Nittany athlete has en-
tered the institution, and it is
most unusual that there should
be three, all of whom are also
athletes.
Earl Hewitt, jr., whose father
was a famous quarterback along
in 1893 to 1901, comes to Penn
State from Kiski.
The second son to enter is
Charlie Scott, jr., whose father
was a football and track star in
1893 to 1896. The youngster
comes from Mercersburg with a
reputation as a mighty good
lineman.
Jim Dunsmore, son of James
A. Dunsmore, 1897, completes
the trio. The father was a star
in football from 1893 to 1896,
being captain of the team in his
final year. He was also on the
track team for four years. The
son is q lineman.

Earl McNeely, Leibold's right
handed alternate, has played only
twenty-five games for Washington
and has fielded perfectly, while bal
ting .313. But that is too brief an
exhibition to accurately Judge his
talents.
Witt. of the Yankees, greatly is
like Leibold. A fine lead-off man,
he is hitting .2S9, with a fair sprlnk-
ling of extra-base wallops. In the
field he is good fly catcher, but
has q VIGOROUSLY weak arm, and has
made only eight assists in j12
chances.
The Giants have three center
3ielders: Southworth, Wilson and
O'Connell. They are the most un.
certain of all center 1ielders con-
sidered, and with the exception Of
O'Connell are hitting below 800.
Southworth, a veteran, is hitting
only $50. and fielding 1874. Wilson,
a recruit, slumped after a fine
start in hitting, and his .291 bat
ting mark is comparable with his
.966 record in the field. O'Connell
has been in but few games, but
has a batting average Of 1903,
while fielding 1858.
Max Carey, Of Pittsburgh, is the
veteran. He is batting .28S, but
leads the league in base-running
with thirty-five thefts. He has a
goodly number Of extra-base hits
and sacrifices. In the field he leads
in put outs and assists, and also
double plays.
Ed Brown, Of the Dodgers is the
other candidate. He came up in
June and in lightweight games has
batted .299, although he has been
over the 800 line several times.
He is a fair fielder, and covers
lots of ground.

In the American League it is
Washington and New York.
Seven days to gO-seven hectic
battle-swept days: seven days Of
fight, and fight and fight.
No chance now to ease up or
catch breath; no chance to stumble
and recover; no chance to tumble
and retrieve.
Just fight-breath- taking, nerve
racking fight.
It isn't a question Of baseball
ability, and baseball strategy, and
baseball polish now. It's a ques-
ton Of nerve-pure, unadulterated
nerve.
It's q question Of stamina and
fight and inspiration. It's q Ques.
ton Of heart.
The strain Of the season and the
gruelling pace Of the closing month
have taken their toll. They show
in the nervous, drawn faces Of the
players; they are apparent In the
eagerness Of the batters stepping to
the plate; in the nervousness of
the infielders crouching on their
toes awaiting the BAH. And they
are apparent in the grouchinees CT
the athletes, the readiness to quarrel
and find fault and beratc umpiree
opponents and spectators alike.
But the big test ahead lies in
these seven days that yet remain
And the winner?
The winner will be the. club that
has the nerve and stamina arlt
heart to keep going and going an,
going.
In the National League tn
Giants, with six games to play,
have half game lead over the
inspired Brooklyn. And the
Dodgers, fighting so manfully, have
only five remaining games.
But ahead Of the Giants looms
the gaunt, ferOciOus speCter OF
Pittsburgh. Beginning today the
Giants meet Pittsburgh in three
games and In those three games
will be written the story OF tine
National League pennant.
Over in the American League the
flying Senators seem safely in. The
Yanks, blowing along behind them,
are laundering and staggering in
the stretch.
Baseball history will be written
during these next seven days. It
will be written at the Polo Grounds.

BETTER JAIL CONDITIONS.

A dozen years ago it was no uncommon thing for the state inspector to report this jail or that in bad and insanitary condition, the food poor and the priso- ners otherwise uncared for properly. Fortunately, the reports were consistent ly made public, with the consequent re- proach upon the offending community. Usually the bad conditions were as un- known to the local people as to the state at large, and publication of the situation was sure sooner or later to arouse the local people to a demand for reform. In some cases, public bodies have actually been unable to succeed themselves be- cause of incompetence in this one direc- tion alone. Communities are usually ashamed to have it known that they treat any of their wards, either in jail or aims house or convict camp, in any inhumane manner. Therefore, publicity as to the actual conditions found by state inspec- tors has had very salutary influence on administration of such institutions
 The recent report made to Governor Brandon by State Inspector Andrews is conclusive evidence of the progress that has been made in this state in recent years in bettering the conditions amidst which paupers, convicts and other state wards are compelled to live. The details as to which the inspector makes unfavor- able comment, while important in their bearing on the welfare of the inmates, are such as can be corrected without great outlay of public money, indicating that in the main the conditions are good. For example, one jail which obtains water from cistern is reported as having an "unsatisfactory" water situation, because of the long drought The people of that the danger of illness in their local jail. In another county the jail was found in need of painting, but the prisoners were well fed and reasonably comfortable. In

would have been the most efficient at torney general this country ever saw. Not long ago there was published re- puted denial by Mir. Remus, now in the Atlanta penitentiary, of his former testi- mony against the department of justice. Monday was published what purported to be an affidavit from Gaston B. Means denying his testimony before the Brook hart committee and declaring the testi- mony of himself and others to be the result of frame-up engineered by MT. Wheeler. Simultaneously with the Re mus statement came the retort that the convict was forced to make his retraction under threat by the warden, an appointee of Mir. Daugherty's. And together with the affidavit made public by MT. Daugh- erty comes denial by MT. Means ofshav- ing made any such affidavit.
 If the affidavit is not genuine, then it is perceived that Mir. Daugherty has re. sorted to desperate measures. If the af- fidavit is genuine, then it is evident that MT. Daugherty surrounded himself with very untrustworthy type of investiga- tors. In neither case is credit reflected upon Mir. Daugherty's official record.

MARKING ALABAMA HIGHWAYS.

The state highway commission will be doing a real public service in carrying out its recent decision to mark the state highways with suitable signs, so as to guide strangers aright in any community. The posting of highway information at all important crossroads and functions is of great service to the tourists and to those who go about the country on busi- ness. It is also of value to communities off any main line of travel to post direc- tions pertinent to their own location.
 One of the best marked highways in the country is the Old Spanish Trail, which is being built to connect Jackson vile, Florida, with Los Angeles, Cali fornia and intervening points. Whether one travels through the city or through the country along this route, he can never go astray, if he looks out for the sign that is typical of this highway, namely, the letters OST, usually placed vertically on telephone poles or other convenient locations. It is so with other important roads.
 But it is on the branch roads especially that the stranger is apt to lose his way, unless the signboards come to his rescue with directions, distances and suchlike information. In many localities the au- tomobile clubs perform this service; in others the county highway bodies. It is fitting that the state also join in this valuable service.

Comparatiye Land Values

Charles J. Hayden. Atlanta capitalist and former Gadsden citizen, declared before the Rotary club here that he would not give one acre of Etowah county or Alabama land for five acres of California land, He has just returned from visit to California where he made study of itstagricultural possi- bilities Out of it's vast acreage only small percentage is susceptible to cultivation, even under the most scientific methods of irriga- tion. and dry farming. Most of the state is rough and barren mountainsides or desert valleys It is not near so productive as Alabama can be made to produce and in this connection the speaker said the people in this county are paying $500 car freight for California products that should be and could be grown here. His views are at least worth considering. He is one of the most observant of men and one of the most sue. cessful. His idea about California is not original by any means. Experts everywhere have entertained the same views for years.- Gadsden Times.

 UTILIZING THE AUDITORIUM.

The proposed convention bureau or Gapized and maintained on practical basis to attract state and national assem- Mics to Birmingham promises valuable results if carried out constructively. Birmingham is commanding the attention of the whole country for it's industrial and building achievements within the past few years. There are millions of people in this country who have never visited this city, who have read much about it, and who would like to see the vast industrial expansion of which they have heard. With an active convention bureau having the single purpose of at tracting meetings of organizations, so- cial, welfare and other associations, this city should soon become personally known to 8 much wider circle of intelligent and progressive people. Thus the auditorium should prove valuable institution.
 There is another aspect of such an enterprise which is we'll worthy of con- sideration. It relates to community in terests. The influence upon the city's growth should be far-reaching in it's ben efits. Many attractions with musical, artistic and other merits are possible for Birmingham people to enjoy at small cost because of the auditorium and it's large seating capacity. These will ad vertise the city as cultural center, while affording the people of this community the benefits of their influence.
 In this connection the rental schedules adopted for the time may have no little effect in determining the practical sue cess of the auditorium. The schedule, ranging from fifty dollars a day as minimum, to five hundred dollars a day, with regulations as respects percentages of gross receipts and extras for dancing, is tentative, and may be modified accord ing to needs and conditions and adjusted accordingly. While the auditorium is not essentially a money-making enterprise, but an institution for community needs and interests, it is expected to be made self-sustaining. With that purpose in view, rental schedules might we'll be reg ulated to permit the abatement of charges to local entertainments, exhibits and the like where community benefits are pro- vided and where gatherings are held in the public interest. Musical and other cultural features, not having profit as their object, may we'll be allowed at the lowest possible rates. In a word, the auditorium was built for the public bene- fit, and should be used primarily to that end.
 In the event of surplus from rentals to outside conventions and assemblies, rates to local interests bringing to Bir- mingham such attractions as will be a source of uplift to the people, and espe- cially those which are not money-making enterprises and have no sources of reve- nue, should be lowered accordingly. To some kinds of meetings wholly of public nature the auditorium could we'll be de- voted free of charge.

From my point of view he only deserves to DC called a progressive who cannot see wrong persist without an effort to redress It, or right denied without effdrt to protect II; who feels a deep concern for the economic well fare of the United States, but realizes that tne making of better men and better women Is matter greater still; who thinks Of every gov ernnental policy first of all in it's bearing upon human rights rather than upon material thinss; who believes profoundly in human equality and detests privilege in whatever form or In what ever disguise. and who finds the true test oi success f., the welfare of the many and not tas prosperity and comfort of tho few.
