Re SClJERS
LOSING
HOPE !

OonCnueu from f1rst FaSeJ
his long imprisonment, Collins may
yet be rescued alive.
Work on Shaft Hurried.
Work on the shaft was pressed
with al speed, however, but the cry
Of those in the pit is: I'VE want
FLOYD Collins alive" Hence. each
new fiesure unearthed raises the
hopes of the diggers. And as each
proves to be only crack or a fault,
the dependency deepens. In the
military tribunal, all witnesses save
Z one-and that one singled out by
hearsay and circumstances as the
person most vitality concerned-were
called to tell of their entry into the
cave.
Several, among them. Lieutenant
: Robert Burden, Of the Louisville fire
department; William Burke Miller
newspaper reporter, and Homer Coz.
1ins, Floyd's brother, were to tell of
their conversations with Floyd and
the conditions in the narrow passage
way during their various trips.
But John Geralds, the man who
assumed control Of the rescue work
because OF his asserted friendship
with the entombed man, viii not
be asked to come before the court
and give his version of the affair.
And neither will he have an oppor.-
tunity to reply to the various ac-
eusations against him.
Hint at Guilt Given.
The reason for tnis-when II was
expected that Geralds would be the
principal witness and the most i'm
portant factor in. the clearing of the
air of insinuations that Collins was
q victim not only Of natures wrath
but of mans greed as swell-was
suggested in the statement OF Lieu
tenant Governor II. II. Denhardt
that no person ''is called before
court to testify against himself. :.
While the first Organization ana

later to the rim of the pit where
the work Of digging for still PRE-
euned living man continues and
complete its sessions In the grim
shadows OF hosting derrick and
screeclling drill.
The native Is truculent and re-
seftflI Of the drama which has
made this country the focal point
Tor a worlds eyes. Owing to the
misunderstanding Of the functions
of the military court, the conception
has rapidly grown that every man
and woman is gcins to find "him-
self or herself in jail in short order.
People Restless.
Somehow the fact that Floyd
Collins lies turied and perhaps stu
alive no longer Holds its original
potency. The cataract Of emotion
has become only ripple OF mid in
terest
The hill folk have had all they
want Of new-fangled notions and
habits. They want to settle down to
their routine of work and leisure.
TO the impenetrable non-communion
between individuals everything has
become too involved.
What with soldiers walking guard
beneath their moon. and on their
hHIs:des. what with speed where
only slow gait previously had been
necessary. the natives are growing
exceedingly restless and unhappy.
Yes. they wish it was over. Ger
tainly hoping that Floyd is FOUND

Good Manners

Our manners express our degree OF
refinement and our own poise as well.
Good manners are not superficial, for
they are the kindly consideration OF
the people about us. Good manners
always mean a good example, and so
we make things smoother for others
as well as for ourselves.

grows in the Punjab of India was de-
stroyed as a weed, being cut out to
protect other growths. Economic de-

used commercially for light furniture,

JUNIOR LIGHTWEIGHT
TITLE TO BALLERIN0

PHILADELPHIA, April 2.-The
Junior lightweight crown today rests
on the head of Mike Ballerino of
Bayonne, N. J., by virtue of de-
cisive victory over Steve (Kid) Sulli-
van of Brooklyn, the title holder, in
10round bout last night. The de-
cision was unanimous on the part of
officials.
From the opening round until the
final gong the fight bristled with ac-
ton. Ballerino carried the battle to
the champion in every round. con-
centrating his attack on Sullivan's
stomach, but occasionally landing a
stinging blow to the head. In the
first round Sullivan lifted the chal-
lenger off his feet with several right
crosses to the chin, but he was up in
an instant. Again in the seventh the
champion smashed through Bale
rino's defense to land a dozen well
aimed blows to the chin, but they did
little damage.
Ballerino fairly smothered Sullivan
in the last three rounds, maintaining
a relentless body attack which the
champion was unable to check.
Evening star., 1925-04-02

of his ability to smash the ball for
clean-ups like those he made in the
American League, the Reds should be
able to hit 10 points better than in
1924. Give the Reds that 10 per cent
and they should go into the first divi-
sion. If they get started there and
keep the pace they are likely to de-
Velop into pennant contenders.
Club Has the Material.
1t is team which always has been
one OF ups and downs, but it has
material Any team that can enter
the National League race with staff
OF pitchers made up of Sheehan
Luque, Donohue, Rixey, Benton, MAYS
and Jake May-the royal seven as
they call them-may keep the Ma
tlonal League on edge all season.
There is fine reserve power for the
infield in Dresser, with a sore arm
right now; Bohne, who is by no
means through, and Fowler. who raps
the ball even if he doesn't always
field perfectly.
But, after all. much centers upon
what Bressler does at first base-a
player who batted $50 in 1924 and a
player for whom every other PLAYER
on his team is pulling If he starts
Wen and maintains his good start the
Reds Will go along with him.
