Mack has worked hard to build up a
ball club. but his present outfit seems
to lack speed. The Athletics are heavy
and cumbe rsome. They have a GER
tain amount of punch, but with a
machine as hard to move as thatCon-
ME will have a tough time getting
in the first division.
The Braves, on the other hand, have
speed, but from what / have seen of
them they seem to- lack punch.
Mathewson and Bancroft know bail
know the trouble, but so far have not
overcome it. The Braves must have
that punch, and 1 believe Matty, Ban
croft and Judge Fuchs will keep on
until they have IL.
Connie Caused Rules Change.
Speaking of Connie Mack, I was
reminded the other day that he was
responsible for the present short
white line thatfs shown on a field to
indicate the limitations Of the catch
er's box. Connie was just as foxy
while a catcher as he has been since
becoming manager. In the old days
Connie, who is very tall and angular,
used to stand outside the catcher S
position as If he were not ready and
Sap tIAC PAtShSI oiI 10 tIiTOW the D6 L..
The batter, thinking the ball would
go wild, would swing and miss pur-
posely, only to have the long armed
Connie reach over and snag the ball
with one hand. The foxy Connie did
this so often that the rules commit
tee prescribed the limits in which the
catcher must always stand
All the ballplayers are much i'm
pressed with Jimmy Fox, the new
catcher of the Athletics. He looks to
me like one of the coming ballplayers
OF our time. Fox Is but Is years old
and has plenty of time to learn the
tricks of his trade. He is unusually
fast for a catcher and can hit like an
d-timer. Many big league clubs tried
to get this boy from the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, but found that
Frank Baker had tied him up for
Connie Mack. This boy may turn out
to be another Ray Sohalk. I hope
SO for his sake

FIGHT TITLE CHANCE

Young Renzo gets an opportunity
to become the middleweight champion

through the ropes to meet Jackie
Turner at the Washington Barracks

Turner is training like a Trojan

Jack Perry, Tommy Loughran, Mike
Scholtz and Charlie Baum all have
tried to stop him but at each finish
the pride of the Districts little Italy
has been on his feet going strong.
Owing to the class of all OF the

And. by the way, the first division
Will mean much more the coming
season when each of the first four
clubs will cut in for a share of the
world series prize money. That es-
tablishes a dividing mark of impor-
tance. The fight between the fourth
and fifth teams in both leagues will
give fans in a city where pennant
is out Of the question many a thrill.
In one game the other day I saw
the Washington club make four dou-
BILE plays in the first four innings.
There you have an evidence of infield
speed that speaks for itself That you
may realize what that means, a dou-
BILE play nearly always prevents a
run. The tactical Importance of the
ability to make double plays is that
it will stop base runners from at
tempting steals. 1t also makes it
harder for a club to work inside bat
ting plays. In other words, a double
play simply breaks up a well started
aggressive inning.
Without a shortstop and second
baseman who can make these double
plays frequently no ball club can win
pennant. At least, they never have.
Notice any club that is low in the stand
ing and you will find that it is not me-
chanically perfect in the infield.
Praises Nntionals' Infe1d.
L have seen but few players who
could excel either Peckinpaugh or
Bucky Harris in making double plays.
Bluege, the young third baseman, has
worked right in with them. Right
around second base you will see the
secret of Washington's success on the
defensive
With this powerful and fast defense
Clark Griffith and Harris have wisely
added several veteran pitchers to
work along with Walter Johnson and
keep the machine steady. Now that
they are pennant winners the Ma
tionals will work steadier and with
more confidence. Nothing gives or in
spires confidence like experienced
base ball heads on the bench or in
the box.
I watched the Athletics closely the
other day, and 1 do not see how they
can stay in the first division with
their present combination. Connie

National Men and Affairs

The Germans have not been very
long at this business of nominating
and electing presidents of the repub
lie, but have they not set an example
that Americans would do we'll to fol-
low? Not i'll the election of a Won
Hindenburg, but in the speed with
which the election was held and the
high percentage of the eligible vote
cast at the polls?
There is much talk in this country
today about reforming the rules of the
senate now so as to bring about an
expedition of the public business. 1t
is true most of the talk is coming
from one man, but it must be admit
ed he is a very earnest and willing
talker; therefore it-seems that a whole
lot of people are talking.

Grand Jury Says They Are Better Condition Than State High
ways Financial Status of County Shown Interesting Report
On Schools Several Recommendations Are Made.

We, the grand jury drawn and
sworn to serve for the May term, 1925
OF Terrell superior court, submit the
following presentments:
We commend the county commits
sioners and Warden c. d. Marshall
for the excellent roads we have
throughout the county, the roads as a
rule being in much better condition
than are the state highways In the
county. By comparing the condition
of the county maintained roads with
the state highways in the county we
can readily see how much further the
local authorities can make a dollar
count than where it is expended under
the state highway department
We recommend that the commls-
sioners employ a county policeman,
as it is evident that the whisky laws
are being fagrantly violated; also the
speed laws. and in our opinion a man
employed to give his time and atten-
ton to these two matters can accom-
plish lar better results than when all
is left to the sheriff and his deputies.
We call the special attention OF the
sheriff and his deputies to the tact that
it is against the law for person IN
der 10 years OF age to drive an auto
mobile, and we earnestly ask that he
give special attention to the enforce
ment OF this law.
We recommend that jurors and
bailiffs be paid the same per diem as
was paid in the year 1924.
The reports of ]. {. Dukes, county
superintendent OF schools; L. c. Hoyl,
ordinary, and f. H. Stapleton, chair
man OF commissioners OF roads and
revenues, are attached hereto and
made part of this report Also the
reports OF committee on public build
ings, committee to examine the ]. p.
books and the committee to examine
books OF county officers.
We thank Judge NJ. ]. Yeomans for
bis able charge and for the courtesies
extended this body by him, and also
thank our able and efficient solicitor
general, B. T. Castellow, for his assist
ance to us in our work.
We recommend that these present
ments be printed in The Dawson
News at a cost of not exceeding SIS.
Respectfully submitted,
