Each Of us had a flock of boils
and I was handicapped by being in

q time that any of them expressed

What won, for us was perfect
cooperation. perfect harmony and
hustle from the time we hit train

/ do not like to appear in the
light of criticizing anybody or any

teresting to know that the Cardinals
have fewer signs, as we call them,
than any ball club in the major
leagues. In other years we had
numerous combinations or signals,
but / have seen so many smart
PLAYERS miss signs that when l
became manager / did away with
all except the absolutely essential
signs.
Many ball clubs hold meetings
every day for skull practice. We
have a meeting before every new
series. Fans probably wonder
what a baseball team meeting IS
like. Here's what the Cardinals
do at their meetings.

struggle. Time and again we were

the worst they fought the hardest
and of the things that makes me
happy over this pennant is the
way the players have fought and
hustled for me. They have done
everything I asked them to do and
that's why we won the pennant.
Two men who joined US during the
pennant race did a great deal to
help us win. They furnished the
added strength that we needed in
such a hot race. Tomorrow / will
discuss the incidents leading up to
the deal whereby we got Alexander

which brought Southworth to the

fore the Governor and Council will be
introduced together with the argu-
ments Of the lawyers.
Among the causes of error alleged
are the following:
That Section 10 Of Article TX of
the constitution which was adopted
by the people in September 1917,
does not empower the governor to
vote as a member of the governors
council and that the governor could
only remove a sheriff from office by
majority vote of the council upon
the issue of the charges in the COM
plant against Sheriff Cummings, and
that Section 10 of Article TX as con-
strued and interpreted by the gov
ernor and council on the hearing ac-
corded Sheriff Cummings. conflicts
with and contravenes the 14th
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton, in that 1t grants to the COVER
nor the power to initiate prosecu-
lions. to hear the evidence as a juror,
nesses, to pass upon questions of law
and to order sentence on his findings
of fact as q Judge with review or
right of appeal.
It is also alleged that Cummings
Is deprived of his property in his
right to hold the Office of sheriff,
without hearing before a fair and
impartial tribunal, that the amend
ment contravenes the federal consti-
tuition in that 1t does not apply to
other sheriffS appointed to office,
that the intention of the voters in
adopting the constitutional amend
ment does not concur with the re-
solve submitted by the legislature
and referred to the people in 1917,
and that a matter in the nature of
fraud and deceit was practiced upon
the voters in procuring the adoption
OF the amendment as-the voters did
not intend to give to the governor
the power to act without the advice
and consent of majority of the
governors council and that the gov
eraor's council was not a legal one
In that it was composed of but six
members instead of seven as the law
requires.
1t is further declared that the
complaint against Sheriff Cummings
was not sufficient in law, as it did
not specify the charges against Sher-
III Cummings. that the service of re-

1t will be noted that the greatest
gain was during the first two years
which was the result Of special work
in the interests of both the Asso-
citation and sheep industry generally,
which was done comparatively be-
tween the Maine Department of
Agriculture, and the extensive SER
vice of the College Of Agriculture at
Orono il cooperation with the Farm
Bureau.
Working on the well established
principle that all movements are
forever growing, either larger or
smaller, also recognizing the fact
that the future growth and success
of our association depends largely
on advertising we have during the
past year expended considerable
more than the preceding year, 1924.
During the year 1920 the members
pooled 30,040 pounds of wool. 1t
will be recalled that owing to the
depression in business brought about
by the reimbursement following the
war which was borne largely by far
mers, we were unable to sell our
wool at any satisfactory price max
ing it necessary to carry it over to
1921. By holding the wool until
1921 our gross earning to the men,
bers was S6.S2S.S0
The 1921 pool consisted of 6S,443

The 1922 pool consisted of 6S,443

The 1923 pool consisted Of S.

Alb IL pounds, which is accounted
for by reason of many members
selling either their sheep or farms,

Miss Barbara A. L. Froberger was
the honor guest at a surprise mis-

approaching marriage to Harvey
Royce, of Portland, at the home of
Mrs. George R. Weber, on Summer
street, Wednesday evening. A group

the party was for her she was nom

herself equal to the occasion and gra-
ciously acknowledged the comph-

The dining room of the Webber

with spring flowers and ferns, and

Minot from Maine, he Is one loyal
son who has ever held his love Of
the native hills and valleys, lakes

Mr.. Minot has conveyed word to

to be present to respond when the

as more years go by between the
undergraduate days at the old

when the one-time students are
counted as alumni, their affection
and loyalty grows the stronger. OF
the acceptances to the 1900 and
