FL aumento asombroso de home
runs en- esta temporada compare
do con los de otras temporadas
es e. tema de actualidad en- el ba-
sc ball. Los batazos quadrangle
lares registrados en- ambas ligas
hasta la fecha suman 6S1, COM
parados con 40f estacazos de cua
tro esquinas 0registrados durante
| Itoda la temporada de 1924. Es
muy possible, que cuando toque a
su fin La presente temporada Sc
doble Ia suma del afio pasado.
La razon de este aumento .,es
debido a la ligereza de la pelota
de base ball actual, fabricada ex-
presamente para favorecer a los.
EJonroneros, pero en- cambio PERU
dicando grayemente los pit
Exochers, que diariamente reciben
una lluvia de estacazos descon-
certantes.
Los fabricantes de la pelota 'li-
eera" han manifestado que la pelo-
ia es completamente igual la
que Sc viene fabricando desde
1910, y que el aumento de jonrones
es mas bien debido a las prohibi-
clones que Sc han dictado contra
los pitchers, tales como ell spitball
y otros tricks" muy conocidos de
los fans. Sin embargo ell decir de
los fabricantes no debe tomarse
muy en- serio " debemos buscar ell
motive por otros rumbosI por elem
plo, la parte economical de un iue-
go de base ball Desde que Babe
Ruth demostr6 los magnates de
base ball que el pIblico gusta de
las sensaciones producidas por una
pelicula cuadrangular, todos los
teams de base ball americanos han
tornado especial interes en- que en-
Ell lineup aparezca un buen batea-
dor que convertible en- jonronero
sea una verdadera attraction de ta-
quiila. Ell base ball cada dfa Sc
lnercantiliza mas, Y es natural, los
players juegan por ell dinero que
reciben Y los dueiios de clubs quie-
rem sacarles todo ell "jugo" possible
a sus teams. Por ESQ los magnates
al conocer la gran attraction pu-
blica que es un jonronero Sc dedi-
caron "fabricarlos" no precisa-
mente contando con los batters,
sino con una pelota mas ligera que
convirtiera un tubey o un tribey
on un un joron. Por ESQ vemos a

WALKER WANTS
REWRITTEN
Writes Carlisle He Is In Favor
of Constitutional
Convention

ATLANTA, Aug. Ex-Governor
Clifford Walker late Tuesday after
noon made public copies of letter
he has written to Senator Ira Car
Isle, of the 18th district. support
ing the senator's measure providing
for a constitutional convention
early in 1926.
The governor pointed out that if
tax reforms are not adopted at the
present legislature. and if the states
constitution is not revised to pro-
vide for the reforms, no relief from
taxation evils can be secured for six
years.
1t will be two years before the
next Legislature convenes, he point
ed out; two years more before any
reforms the 1927 assembly might
pass could be ratified at the polls.
and two years before any revenue
could be derived from such reform
measures.
The governor stated in his letter
that he believed a constitution con-
vention would cost less and be more
satisfactory than an extra legisla-
tive session.

ACINDERELLA
DREAM THAT
Was REALIZED
Buck Duke, Tobacco Magnate,
to Transform Orphans Pow
erty Into Riches

WELLINGTON, rex, August 10.
Amid the squalor Of tiny shack
on the broad plains of the Texas
Panhandle, an old White-haired
grandmother once told two little
orphan girls the childhood story of
Cinderella.
With poverty on all sides, the
little girls, Essie Lee Barton, g.,
and Jessie Barton, 4, never dream
ed that some day they would sud
denly have health and all that it
buys thrust upon them, almost in
the fairylike fashion of Cinderella.
But wealthy uncle back in
North Carolina is making the Gin
derella story come true for them.
he is Buck Duke, son of Wash
ington Duke, who made millions in
tobacco. Buck Puke Is a brother
of j. B. Duke, who recently gave
40,000,000 to a North Carolina
college, and is said to be as wealthy
as his brother.
Recently Buck said he intended
to make all his relatives rich before
his death. And he has just found
that the two poor little orphan girls
out on the Texas plains are distant
ly related to him by marriage.
SO he sent $1,000 to Grandma
Simpson, who cares for the chill
dren, to gather information about
them and to end their poverty.
More money is promised later.
Already Duke his sent $4,000
each to r. W. and James Duke, two
second cousins, who have ranches
near here.
One grandmother Of the orphans
who died at Wellington several
years ago, Mrs. Sally Barton was
related to Washington Duke by
marriage and used to help him pick
tobacco on his North Carolina
plantation before he amassed his
huge fortune.
When the great emigration TO the
west began, the Barton family and
one branch of the Duke family re-
solved to seek their fortunes in
Texas.

OIL INSPECTOR
BILLISPASSED
BY LOWER BODY
Measure a Blow at Browns Ma
chine, Reduces Number of
Inspectors to Six

ATLANTA, Aug. 19.-Thc impos-
sible has happened. By n vote of
1913 to 81 the House of Representa-
tives, always heretofore referred to
as the stronghold of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, Tuesday pass
ed a bill providing for the distilla-
ton test Of gasoline in place of the
gravity test, and limiting the num-
Der of oil inspectors in the State to
8. 1t has been the brunt of the
fight pitched against the Agricul-
tural Department for at least three
years. 1t was the basis of a sud
den and heated fight the last night
of the last session, and was won by
supporters of the department.
Whether the measure will get
through the Senate or not is anoth-
err question. Many of the House
men, who were behind the bill say
it will, and certainly there is much
indicative sentiment in the senate
that leans in that direction. How
ever, the action of the House is
bound to have a powerfully strong
moral effect, even if, in the end, the
bill should not pass all the stages
and become law.
Those voting for the passage of
the bill reducing the oil inspectors
to six, according to the Macon Telo.

in terms of affection. He has even
made model of ia dinky little
thing for all the world like the
bonneville trolley, seating space for
a very few passengers and a mon
strous trolley pole the size of a
young derrick.
This car had only four wheels,
and on days when the young bloods
of Richmond were feeling especial
ly kittenish they would stand on
the rear platform, jounce up and
down and lift the front end clear
off the rails. Those were tough
times for the skipper-or rather,
the mOtorman.
Eubank likes to run trolley cars,
but he thinks their day is about
done. The motor bus will eventually
crowd them out, he believes.

do feel that the motor bus is getting
