 IL IS the history of baseball that eeriain years are very prolific m pros Idneing real stars,
 Then there comes an era of seN- erai years when ihs baseball crop IS only ordinary, lt runs in cycles
 During the past month have talk cd with a dozen major league scouts, all of them discouraged and dlfgnsted with the prospective material offered by the minors
 "Fhe best hall players have seen m action thls summer are the old' timers, players who have either serH- cd m the majors or inc better minor leagues"
 So remarked well-known major league scout. who for years has pilot ed big league clubs in both the Amefl- can and National,
 II iss rather interesting fact that A number Of the leading stars Of the American league made their dehnt about the same time, Most of these pIayers will pass out together and their exit will be felt
 Ty Cobb. one of the outstanding stars, is playing his goth season ne says II will he his last as 2 regular.
 Tris Speaker. brilliant outfNe'der ana manager of the Cleveland club has nIayed almost as long, He cannot go on forever
 Eddie Collins, Eame's greatest sec o,d hsseman, has been performing .srsstionslly for ts years.
 Walter Johnson. wonder pitcher, has been at it for IS campaigns, ana Ia having one of his best years HOW ever. he threatens to retire ana ous a minor league club
 These four great players are Just fs,v of the many veteran stars t7 inc American league who haven ,onr to go. A similar condition e8- ists in the National.
 Stars are made from the recruits American league scouts have several bie jobs ahead to fill the places or these veteran stars who will soon pass out of the picture.
 Here are just few of the reasons the scouts have advanced to me for the present dearth of available big league material.
 
 Lack of playing space in the larger cities. which prevents many young sters from indulging in the game.
 The growing popularity of golf. which has weaned certain percent age of youngsters from the game.
 Tennis has also retarded the de- of baseball material. The attitude of many college l coaches. who advise against base hall career. unless the player is capa- ble of stepping into the big league and making good.

Attorney General Stone Orders Case Against
 Flanagen Dismissed

Some time ago D. w. Flanagan, a prohibition and revenue officer was arrested at Fairbanks for alleged as sault on the person of Peter Ken dall, an alleged resident of the city. Following which MT. Flanagan was his own recognizance to appear be- fore the courts this spring. Now comes an order from Attorney Gener- al Stone, directing District Attor ney Hurley to dismiss the case with out trial, as the officer had appar ently violated no law.
 The facts in the case were that Mir. Flanagan went to the residence or place of business of MT. Kendall, together with two local officers, and found the oldtimer making and sell ing beer, in violation of several stat utes, among whcih were the revenue laws. A customer or two was found in the place at the time, who denied
  purpose of buying beer; and the beer was seized in open sight, on a table in the room. MT. Kendall de- nied the officers entrance to his castle, claiming he was an American citizen and that they had no right to enter his premises without a search warrant MT. Flanagan, it is claim ed, explained the law to Kendall, whereupon the latter applied term prohibition officer was a-liar. At the time of the conversation, Ken dall stood across the doorway barring entrance. Whereupon the prohibition officer showed him to one side and entered the premises, seiZing the li- quOr, and several choice bits of evi- dence belonging to local citizens, among which was valise bearing the name of a prominent citizen, with several bottles bearing traces of li- quor, and apparently waiting to be filled.
 The aged pioneer claimed that MT. Flanagan assaulted him and Thos. MarQuam, mayor of the town and an attorney, swore out warrant for MT. Flanagan. The latter was arrested and it is claimed, taken before the city magistrate, who being somewhat shaky on the law applying to open season on dry officers, released him on his promise to appear later. The alleged bootlegger was tried and ac- quilted by jury, the eloquent mayor showing various scars of conflict sus- tained in the near battle over near beer.
 Now comes the honorable Mr. Stone, attorney general for the Unit ed States, and orders the district at torney to dismiss the case, without trial, it appearing that the case is not yet over and that various and sundry officials of the Fourth divi- sion may be required to explain their ferociousness when attacking dry squad man. Under the law it might be pointed out that like Heinz pickles, there are 57 varieties of charges to be brought against boot logger, and that his release under one charge does not quash the others.
 To sum up it appears that the East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet" and that revenue officer may enter where i deputy marshals and common dry squad men fear to tread. Therefore, | if you are caught selling the imita- tion beverage called beer surrender gracefully, say good morning judge, and take the necessary trimming without a chaser.
 In the meantime the public is anx- iously awaiting the inevitable hour when the identity of the men owning one frst-class suitcase is revealed.

As A. G, S. Sees 1t

CA. G.. s. in Lewiston JournaD
Mr.. Farringtons contention seems
to be that Mr.. Brewster is to all in
tents making much ado about moth
ing, in his sectarian school issue.
Perhaps Mr.. Harrington has lost
nothing by delaying his campaign
until good deal of the public has
heard Mr.. Brewster sufficiently.
Mr.. harrington knows how to
speak. He is a strong advocate and
handles facts well. He is substantial
and straight-going. He says that Mr..
Brewsters "Resolve" against which
Mr.. Harrington voted !ast legislature
would have cut off A. academies of
Maine from all help from the state
and have closed them or else these
academies would have had to he TAX
en- over by the towns IN which they
are located and run by these towns.
Every one of these institutions is
non sec tartan except ten. OF these
ten only two are Catholic. Only $lS,-
600 goes to these ten seCtarian
schools and these schools do work in
high school branches.
In deploring the raising of-racial
and religious questions he said: Il
wish | could turn back the pages of
history 1000 years and ask the man
os Galilee how he would answer these
questions"
On the question of the development
of water power. he said his position
was that the work could be done best
by private capital and that the state
should not take part in such work
but should put no bar in the way of
such work by private development
except to safeguard such interests as
the state may have.
