COBB HEADS VETERANS
STILL in BIG LEAGUES
(By Dispatch \. I wire)


NEW YORK, April 17.-Passing of
four well known veterans from the
major leagues since the. 1925 curtain
fell still leaves ten players who have
survived at least Is seasons of "big
time" baseball.
Missing from the ranks this year
will be George Burns, former Giant
hnd Philly outfielder; Ivy Wingo,
Reds catcher; Rube Marquard, New
York, Brooklyn and Boston hurler,
and Rube Benton, New York and
Cincinnati pitcher.
Ty Cobb, entering upon his twenty
second campaign, will top the remain
ing veterans in playing experience.
Next come iris Speaker, Cleveland
leader, and Walter Johnson, Wash
ington mound star, both of whom will
open their twentieth campaigns.
other Is year players are Grover
Alexander, Cubs; Babe Adams, Pirates;
Eddie Collins, White Sox, and Max
Carey and Stuffy McInnis, Pirates;
Eddie Collins, White Sox, and Zach
Wheat, Robins.

VETERANS.

While the recruits as a whole have
been a disappointment, the fine play
of any number of veteran stars has
brought smiles to number of the big
league managers.
Stanley Harris is delighted at the
condition of Walter Johnson. The big
fellow is further advanced at this time
than in years.
Everett Scott, counted out last fall,
is doing a remarkable come back for
the Chicago White Sox. He has caus-
ed the usually reticent Eddie Collins
to enthuse.
Collins, by the way, is in great form
himself. The injury to his leg last
year that threatened to end his career
seems to have entirely mended
Catcher Frank Snyder of the Giants
reported to have retired last fall, is
looking and catching better than in
years.
This condition holds good all along
the line and gives the magnates and
managers something to be thankful
for.

LEWIS CASE SET.

PHOENIX, April 17.-Oral argu-
ments i'll the case of P. x. Lewis,
former president Of the Central BANK
of Phoenix, now defunct, will be

court Friday, April %, court cal
endar announced today provides
Lewis was convicted of embezzling
$4,000 from the bank while president,
and is now serving sentence OF
from five to eight years in the Arl-
zona penitentiary. Other cases set

that the bank whose neglect actually
causes the loss, is liable-which would
make the Federal Reserve bank liable.
However, the Federal Reserve bank
could only be sued in federal court
with the result that the federal courts
holding the First National bank liable,
absolves the Federal Reserve bank
which banks negligence was in ac-
cepting the worthless draft rather than
current funds, caused the loss and
the Arizona court holding the Fed
eral Reserve bank liable absolves the
First National bank, which latter
bank cannot be sued in Arizona.
The result is that by the mere ac-
cident of deverse opinion upon the
same state of facts in separate Jur1s-
dictions, it may possibly result that
the city with a bona fide action may
fail to recover and suffer total loss.
Courts do not ordinarily allow such
a, result to occur.
This case was tried at Ell Paso IN
1923 in the federal court by Harry e.
pickett of this city and Judge Will
liam Peticolos, former appellate judge
in Texas, and when the federal court
returned an adverse judgment was
appealed to the circuit court of ap-
peals at Forth Worth and was argued
there November a, 1924, by Pickett
for the city and E. B. Stroud of Dali
las and A. H. Culwell of Ell Paso for
the Federal Reserve bank.
Another adverse opinion was hand
ed down and now the case stands on
appeaI to the supreme court of the
United States at Washington. In the
meantime, the supreme court of Arl-
zona held that the First National
bank was not liable and this is now
before the United States supreme
court.
( The case will again be argued
April &c by Pickett for the city, also
by Messrs. Culwell and Stroud for
the Federal Reserve bank and Pickett
left last night for Washington for
that purpose.
The case is one of the most i'm
portant that has ever reached the
United States supreme court with re-
gard to the law governing the col
lection of bank checks deposited IN
one city to be collected in another.

QUANTITY OF ROCKIES HOLDS
UP, HUT QUALITY is
STILL a LITTLE OF

Not more but better ball players is
the cry of every major league man
ager.
Most of the players who came up
for the spring training test this year
have been far removed from the ma
jor league standard.
There is no lack of quantity as to
major league recruits but there is GER
tainly dearth of quality. Spring
phenoms are the exception these days.
During my travels to IA of the train
ing camps 1 don't believe 1 saw over
a dozen players among the recruits
who looked decidedly impressive.
A number showed much ability and
promise but most of them are two or
/. three years away, some Of them more
than that.
When l speak of impressive players,
have in mind players who look ready
to step into a regular job and deliver

ORIGINAL.

Umpire Clarence Rowland of the
American league staff has sprung
something entirely new this spring; he
is wearing wrist watch on the field.
No doubt some of the athletics will
hold this against him.
However, the stunt of fastening the
watch around the wrist has definitely
removed one of the favorite old-time
customs, the snatching of the watch
by some irate player and throwing it
over the grandstand.
The wrist watch will hardly become
standard part of the umpire's equip
ment. I am sure Hank O'Day would
offer strenuous objections.

Then she was sorry she had
said it. For Peter gave her q
quick look that made her realize
that he still remembered that day
in the woods when he begged
her to marry him, and she had
refused.
The worst Of 1t is that Babs
saw that look of his, too.
"Your Peter Wilk man ID in

he was" she told Peggy accus.
ingly, as they were getting un-
dressed for bed that night. 81

There was bitterness In her
voice. For what Babs Delano
wanted more than anything was
a husbands rich husband. And
Peter, who was rich. was her
idea Of everything She would
wish for.
That's perfect nonsense

Peggy.

Peggy knew then that Babs had
been talking to Ranny about her
and Peter. And it seemed to her
that the good night kiss that Ran.

very short and cold.
A week later the storm, broke.
It was on Wednesday night
Peter had come over to play cards
at the little white house.
At IL o'clock the game was over,
and Peggy went out into the
kitchen to make some sandwiches
and coffee.
After a few minutes Peter got
up and lounged out Of the room.
When Peggy wasn't around Babs

wanted to tell him how happy

Babs Comes In
..'I've missed you, Peter, ali this
time" she said to him, and just
then Babs came into the room,
!. Babs had on q black chiffon
dress that showed a great deal of
her shoulders, and all OF her
arms. She filled the room with
the odor of the spicy perfume
she used, and. she talked every
minute.
Al the table she sat next to
Peter. He had hurt his hand
and 1t was bound up in gauze
bandages, so she cut his meat
for him, leaning so close to him
that her hair brushed, his cheek.

coy glances., FROM under her

sharply. He has the lovehest

such perfect care of him that he's
