Styles Of Play
IN HERE are certain styles at
play most popular with cor-
tain teams. Washington, for
instance, ID not considered b
slugginR team, while the Pirates
are. The Griffs seek generally
to work their runners around on
sacrifices and the it-and.run.
The Pirates drive theirs around
with long wallopS. At least, that
is what National leagueYs say Of
them.
Just how one style or the other
will work against q certain team
Is worthy Of consideration. For
instance, can the Pirates break up
Washington's hit-And-run play
with McNSely and Bueky Harris
working it, or GoSlin and Joe
Judge? There is q point 70 con-
slider, viewing each team on itS
past record in it's own league.
The Griffs are told that Art
Nehf and Clarence Mitchell are
the only southpawS to defeat the
Pirates this season and that few
southpaws are sent against them.
Therefore, it 10 reasoned by Ma
tional leaguers, Dutch Ruether
and Jezebel Zachary will be
soundly trounced. On the other
hand, it might be reasoned that,
lacking much practice, the Pirates
might be weak against Ruether
and Zachary. You may take your
choice of the arguments. One is
as good as the other.
The "figger fiends" will soon be
at their deadly work, but don't
get nervous about it. 'Tisnt
worth while. No "figger fiend"
yet ever hit the nail on the head
nor admitted himself in error. So
don't get nervous about it.

THE BRYANS IGNORE
EASTERN DEMOCRATS
ON RECENT VISIT TO WASH
INGTON LET 1T BE KNOWN
OPPOSE CONFERENCE.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Bry-
an brothers-W. J. and Charlie
are not in favor of any conference to
rcorganize and resuscitate the demo-
cratic party, such as was recently pro-
posed by Franklin D. Roosevelt, OF
New York, and Endorsed by Senator
Thomas ]. Walsh, of Montana perma-
nent chairman of the turbulent New
York convention.
The views of the brothers Bryan
were communicated to number OF
prominent democrats in congress and
caused no little talk.
Such a conference at this time, they
believe, would only result in talk OF
issues and candidates for 1923, and
lead to reopening of the now slowly
healing party wounds suffered in the
historic Madison Square Garden battle
East-West Split.
The Bryan attitude was accepted
by prominent democrats here as re-
fecting the unwillingness of the Nc
Adoo faction to go along" with the
northern and eastern wing of the par
ty at this time. The split still exists.
So much was tacitly admitted by
Brother Charlie"

FIGHT ON WEEVIL
MUST BE KEPT UP
DECRY "ALARMISTS," BUT DO
NOT HESITATE TO POINT
OUT PEST INVASION.

Government agricultural authorities,
while not exactly saying the boil wee
vii will not be damaging to the cot
ton crop this year, are assuring the
people that the fears of some alarm
lists" that this country ultimately will
be unable to supply its own cotton re-
quirements because of boil weevil de-
struction are "unwarranted." This bit
OF encouraging information is given
in a statement made public by the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture.
The statement reviews the activities
of the boil weevil over period of
thirty years, saying that the weevil in
vasion thirty years ago has had the
effect of placing cotton production per-
manently on a more costly basis, but
available control methods, says the
statement, afford the hope OF holding
the pest in check.
In 1921 the estimated damage by the
weevil to the American crop amounted
to 3098 per cent In the following
year the damage dropped to 24.17 per
cent and in 1928 to 1905 per cent.
Figures for 1924 are not yet available,
but it is expected they will prove to
be even smaller than those for pre-
ceding years.
This is encouraging, according to
officials of the Georgia department OF
agriculture and leading agriculturists,
vet it does not warrant cotton grow
ers ignoring the danger OF weevil dam
age to this years crop. Other eX-
perts, even of the government, after
exhaustive investigation OF the wee
Wis activities, say weevil infestation
this summer promises to be as great
as in any year since the weevil first
appeared in Southern fields, and they
urge continued efforts to keep the pest
in check.
Right now may be critical period
in the weevil fight" said an official OF
the state agricultural department. 1T
would be unfortunate if the good work
of the past two years in fighting the
weevil should be set at naught TINS
wear by failure to continue the hight.

NERVE GRATING MAY
SAVE LIFE OF GIRL
CUT FROM THROAT OF GULL
LOTINED BANDIT AND PLAC-
ED IN HER NECK.

PARASITIC life Of a 5-yearold
girl was saved by nerves cut from the
throat OF guillotined bandit yester-
day, hospital dispatches at Lille an
nounced today. A nerve center was
placed in the girls neck yesterday and
today the child is resting easier and
the physicians are hopeful of the sue
cess of the first operation of this kind
ever performed.
Raoul Oliver, chief of band of
bandits called the "Cagoules" because
they wore shrouds over their heads
when they were holding up victims,
was executed at Lille, at daybreak yes
terday. Previously the hospital author
tiles had obtained the warden's per-
mission to extract the nerve centers as
soon as the knife dropped on the muir
derer's head.
Two doctors and a trained nurse
waited al the prison for the execution.
When the guards rushed in with the
decapitated body the surgeons imri1e-
diately extracted the portions they
wanted. Placing the nerves in a solu-
ton, they rushed to the hospital in an
automobile.
divers head was cut off at the base
of the neck in order not to destroy the
nerves sought. If the operation is sue
cessful the doctors intend to request
the government to place the bodies OF
all executed criminals at their disposal
for grating cases.

Decision Renders Unnecessary Hear
ing That Was to Be Held April 9th
On Issue of Fact. Basis of Argu-
ments by Both Sides.
MACON, Ga.-Action of Governor
Walker in ousting John n Holder as
chairman of the state highway board
was upheld Friday in Bib superior
court when Judge Malcolm D. Jones
sustained the demurrer of the defend
ants in IN n a mus proceedings
brought by the deposed official to COM
pei the remaining two members of
the board to continue to recognize him
as chairman despite the revocation of
his commission. These other members
are w. T. Anderson, of Macon, and
Stanley S. Bennett, OF Quitman. No
tice that the case would be appealed
to the supreme court was immediate
" filed by counsel for Mr.. Holder.
The decision of the court rendered
unnecessary a second hearing, which,
earlier had been set for Wednesday,
April 9Th, at which time testimony IN
regard to issues of fact in the case was
to have been presented. The hearing
Friday consisted solely of arguments
ments by counsel for both sides on
legal questions involved.
Basis of Arguments.
The argument of counsel centered
chiefly on the claim of Mr.. Holder
that the governor did not possess the
from
office, and after citation OF many au-
thorities this developed into a ques-
ton as to whether or not Holder was
appointed to the charmanshlp OF the
board for a specific term or tor an
indefinite period. The weight OF cita-
lions was that the governor had the
power to remove from Office an ap-
pointee holding an indefinite term office
but that where the specific term was
set in the statute creating the office
the appointee could only be removed
through impeachment proceedings IN
stituted in the legislature.
In the amendment to the highway
law. passed in 1921, it is stated that
the governor shall appoint, and the
senate confirm, the chairman for such
term as is not in conflict with the sup
ulations of the original act OF 1919
! Judge Jones took the view that this
did not constitute an appointmnt for
a specific term and on this opinion
based his ruling.
Attorney Stroller, for the defense,
in explaining the involved legal situa-
ton developed by Judge Jones ruling,
said: THE effect of the courts decision
is to say that the governor had the pow
err to remove Mr. Holder as chairman
of the highway board. The law, as
held by the court, is that the governor
has power to remove any officer whose
term is not fixed by law, and that
since the highway act does not FIX the
term of the chairman the governor
could properly remove him. The case
now goes to the supreme court.

STATE QUITS BUSINESS
AFTER LOSING MILLIONS
SOUTH DAKOTA BEGINS STEP
PING OUT OF COSTLY BUSI-
NESS VENTURES.

South Dakota has taken the first
steps to withdraw from private bust
ness ventures as money making propo-
sitions. Recently it became known
that the state had failed in all but one
OF its business experiments, and now
the Legislature has put an end to two
of them, and given two others a short
extension of life Only one of the to-
tai of five is to be permitted to con-
tinue as it was begun.
The state lost millions, it is said, by
establishing a rural credits system to
make loans to farmers at low rates
of interest, by enacting a bank guar
anty law, by running a state-owned
coal mine and cement plant, and by
selling hail insurance.
Recently law went into effect COM
pletely recognizing the rural credits
system under a commission OF state
officials. The plan is to cease opera
tons at once, and the commission is
to lHquidate its funds, work which
is expected to be followed by aban-
Comment of the project.
The state bank guaranty fund plan,
which caused a loss of S30,0O0,00O
throug the failure of many banks, has
been abolished by the legislature. AT
the same time the business OF this de-
partment is to be settled finally in
some form or other.
The state hail insurance plan also
has been under fire and will be per-
mitted to exist only year or two
more. This plan also resulted in heavy
losses for the state.

NEW u. S. ATTORNEY
GENERAL NOVEL FIGURE
SARGENT is A TYPICAL YER
MONT YANKEE. LOVER OF
OUTDOOR LIFE.

A huge, picturesque character from
the hills of Vermont has entered Wash
ington in the person OF John Garibaldi
Sargent, recently appointed attorney
general Of the United Stats,
So much lore and legend clings to
the career of the new member Of the
presidents cabinet that it is next to
impossible to distinguish fable from
fact
His habits and build together with
his knack of getting on with his fell
lowmen, probably rival the ensemble
of any character in American history.
An Antiquarian.
Sargent collects pipes. He collects
clocks. He is an antiquarian. He is a
tinker. He has the biggest Office in
the state of Vermont and externally
the plainest.
The new attorney general has q hob
by of honing razors, and has often
asked to be allowed to take home dull
razors for even casual acquaintance
to put them in shape.
He reads French and Italian news
papers when he hasn't anything else to
do. He still drives a pair OF Morgan
horses in a loose-jointed wagon, al
though he has three automobiles.
Sargent loves to farm and to camp
out. When he goes camping he does
the cooking. Intimates have vivid re-
collections OF him standing before the
camp stove in his Tapping night shirr
cooking breakfast.
In Rutland, his nearest home city
and in Montpelier, the state capital
he is familiar figure in buff-colored
broad brim and coon-skin coat, with
tails tapping out from what is describ-
ed as a harness strap with which he
girds his middle, letting the strap ends
fall into one of the capacious side
pockets.
An Amateur Physician.
He carries a documentary medicine
kit in his lawyers bag and has beer
known to apply unsolicited first aid to
sufferers from colds and sore throats
upon the merest scratch acquaintance
Gary" Sargent's father was never
we'll off. When the boy went away &c
school at the Vermont Literary Insti-
tute, at Plymouth Union, he carried
with him on Monday morning box
of crackers and full pail of milk, and
lived largely on crackers and milk
through the week He went home each
weekend to see his parents and tc
renew the supply of refreshments
which he kept in his room.
AT Tufts he did chores and taught
French and plugged at his books rid
ding himself of a burden of conditions
that the handicap OF his country school
ing had imposed
He finished fourth in a class OF so
But he had time to be huge good
fellow among classmates, to enjoy the
rough and tumble of campus life, and
to play center rush on the football
team. He exploded football in one
game when his Us pounds OF beef fell
on it none too gently.
