May Reclaim Charter if
Mine Resumes Operation

They don't found" towns in Utah /;
they find a likely looking copper or
coal vein, mine it for a season or two,
and the town just sort of happens as
an accessory to the mine. When the
vein peters out a motley hodge-podge
Of wooden shacks crumble and tumble
down the mine shaft and another
town has faded from the bronze
landscape of the Utah hills.
That accounts for the message that
department headquarters of the Amer
lean Legion received from Mohrland,
Utah, recently, which read: 'All
records and the charter of Mohrland
post of the Legion are being forward
ed to headquarters. All affairs of the
post have been settled; we ask that
the charter be suspended without
prejudice. In the event the mine re
sumes operations the post win surely
become active again. Address no re-
ply to Mohrland; the post office has

REDS OFFENSIVE
is DUE TO ROUSH
Pitchers Not Entitled to All
Credit for Keeping Gin
cinnati in Front.

They have been talking this year
about the amazing effectiveness of the
three Cincinnati pitchers. Donohue
Rixey and Luque, and how they have
kept Cincinnati up in the race. But
any close follower Of the game. any
student, will tell you that Roushs bat
ting punch is and has been the main
Red offensive, all through the season
year in and year out, for nine years.
And on the defense, Roush never
had but one rival in center field. and
he is the wonderful Iris Speaker.
Roush's center-feld play in the 1915
world series was so wonderful that II
stopped the first talk and suspicious of
a scandal. He cut or triples, and his
catches made the suspicious ones be
lieve that the White Sox batters were
surely trying and that his super-play
was winning for the Reds. Roush bats
around $40 every year. all through
the season.
He only varied three points in the
four years from 1921 TO 1924. No SET

average, $40 to $50. And only Speak.
er can come up TO him in outfield PLAY
and even Speaker can hardly equal
Roush in the last few years. for he is
slowing down, while Roush is still
up to his best.
1t can truthfully be said that Roush
Is the greatest defensive outflelder In
the game today, and any expert al.
leged or real who picks an all-star or
all-world team without Roush is either
pre1udiced or blind to the real worth
of the man. McGraw traded Roush to
Cincinnati for almost nothing. then
Roush proceeded to establish himself
as one of the first five batsmen and
three greatest outfelders Of modern
baseball.
