Behind the
Home Plate
BY LEO u LAsSEN

CANTA MARIA, Cal, April
y 3.-There is a popular
belief that pitcher aren't sup
posed to hit, but a perusal
of the batting averages of.
the Coast league for 1924
show that IL hurlers batted
over 800. Bill James and
Harry Peters being in the
400 class. and IL pitchers
hit between $50 and 800.
The main reason that pit
cheers don't hit better, is that
they take it for granted that
they aren't supposed to do
so and they just go up to the
plate as a matter of course,
because the rule book says
every man must bat in order.
As soon as a pitcher shows ex.
ceptional ability as hitter. like
BABE Ruth and Cecil Jameson did
then they make regulars out Of
them to have them IN the game
every day, That Is unless they
have wonderful success as pitchers,
And yet when they made an
outfielder out OF Ruth. he was
one OF the best southpaws In
the business. He led the Am.
erican league one year while
with the Boston Red SoN.
Pitchers who can MT cstlmes nri
regular jobs after their pitching
days are over. like LEFTY o'poul
Jos Wood and Buzz Ariet, did.
Pitchers effective at the plate
come In handy a. pinch hittrrs.
Carl Williams acted In this ca.
paeity for Seattle many times
last year. while GEORGE Foster.
Doc Craudall. Bob Geary and
ken Penner did likewise for
their teams.
The hurlers make hlls or no e.
fort 10 practice hitting. paying 10
nt thair attention % the pitching
end OF the game, Some managers
don't want them to worry about
hitting. giving all 81 their time 20

who can hit. often delivers blow

HOOVER DECLINES TO SHIFT
Prefers Present Position as Head o.
Commerce DEPARTMENT.


Washington, d. C.-Secretary OF
Commerce Herbert Hoover has de
clined suggestion of the president
that he transfer from his present post
to be secretary of agriculture after
March A, he announced.
Il appreciate deeply the confidence
the president has shown in me" Hoov.
er said, but l have told him that j
believed it would be to the best inter,
ests for me to decide against the sug,
gestion, which have done"
Hoover said Mr.. Coolidge thought
the present need of the department
of agriculture was for an administra,
ton in which emphasis should be Civ,
en- the solution of farmers marketing
problems and that, therefore, the pres.
ident had asked him to become secre
tary of that department.
He added, however that he believed
he could serve far more, to more eff
feet, by attempting the solution of
problems affecting the whole distribu-
ton system of the country industrial
and commercial, as well as agricultur.
al as he now is doing as the head of
the department of commerce.

WOULD INCREASE
AUTO ACCIDENTS

AT coming sessions of Legisla
lures attempts will be made to
pass laws making automobile ac-
Icident- insurance compulsory on
automobile owners. In addition
to this, laws will undoubtedly be
proposed to establish monopolis-
tic state automobile insurance or
state automobile funds with com
missions to collect and expend
the same, similar to present state
workingmen's compensation com
missions.
All this agitation for new leg
islation and further extension of
state activity into fields of pri-
vate business will be carried on
under the guise Of accident pre-
vention work.
Here is one point to consider.
At present, private automobile
companies exert restraining in
fluence upon recless automobile
drivers due to the fact that they
reserve the right to refuse insu-
rance to man known to be bad
risk.
Under state insurance, there
would be no incentive on the part
of state employees TO turn down
a poor risk. A compulsory state
insurance law or a monopohstic
state fund act would require that
all carry insurance. The care,
full driver would be forced to pay
rates sufficiently high to cover
The reckless driver or else de
felt caused by recllleSs drivers
would have to be made Tip out OF
general taxes assessed against all
The people,
Any way it is figured, whole
sale automobile insurance would
open a wide field for fraud and
the encouragement of careless
ness. The present check of per-
sonal liability and responsibility
would be largely removed and the
unprincipled driver would sim
ply say, "Let the insurance com
pany or the state pay the bill.
What do ! care.
Automobile accidents will not
he prevented by making it easier
FOR drivers to escape responsibility
for their own carelessness.

TO have a public official nowadays

The Island commercial club
drops the community home to
sponsor a union high school for
the island. If there is to be con
tinuation of present high school
work on the island, one high
school is the wise solution. 1t
would save a lot of over head ex-
|pense, cut down the number of
teachers, merge more pupils to-
gether, and create a unity of ed
ucational endeaSor. The chief
question would likely be the loca-
ton, and being just, the site should
be as near the center of the island
as possible With good access
ible roads everywhere, which is
now assured, a modem central
high school, managed by repre-
sentative island business men, with
all the fads and frills cut out, and
horse sense used in running it,
could be made one of the island s
most attractive assets.

Provision could be made for an
ample auditorium to accommodate
any special island gathering, such
as the Burns festival, the coming
of the governor, or the showing
of such a picture as Peter Pan.
This would fill long felt want,
The building would be exempt
from taxation, the burden would
fall with equal weight upon all, a
ianitor would ever be on hand,
no special care taker would need
to be employed, and the educa-
tionai center would soon become
the community center, which
would silently unite every neigh
borhood on the island, and we
would become in fact one big
family.

THEATERS
SHEDS TEARS
on SEEING HERSELF


Tears have streamed from the eyes
of beautiful. Anna @. Nilsson many
times as the movie camera ground,
but never with less effort than in her
roe Of Lady Sylvia, whose beauty
fades into wrinlkled old age in one Of
her scenes in First Nationals Gone
Way Street" which comes to the D &
R theater next Sunday Monday.
Before going. into the set for this
scene Miss Nilsson glanced into q
mirror, and involuntarily burst into
real tears. It was a sight calculated
TO shock any beautiful woman. The
makeup artist through. whose hands
she had just passed had done his
work too well.
The golden blonde crest whose boy
ish cut gave piuuancy to the Nilsson
charm was turned to ashen gray.
The creamy smooth cheeks were now
shrunken with the gauntness of old
age. Her eyes had faded and the re-
Election in the glass leered back at
her with two piercing pin points of
eyes.
To Miss Nilsson it was almost as
though time had slipped mirror Of
the future before her. After that it
was less a case Of forcing herself
to cry at the directors request than
