\ plea that the increased annuities

who have been retired since the first
; law went into effect in 1920 was
made by Morris Bien. local lawyer,
at todays session of the hearings be-
fore a joint committee of Congress.
Mr.. Bien made this suggestion be-
cause, he said. those employees who
had to leave the service since 1920
have, been unable to meet the cost
of living on the annuities provided
for in existing law and that conse-
uuently Il great many of them have
gone in debt The pending bill TO
liberaliZe the retirement law would
give those already retired increased
pavments but Mr.. Bien argued that
some adjustment upward should also
be made 20 cover the past five years
to enable these employees to pay their
debts.
The witness said he had no definite
statistics as to what this retroactive
plan would cost but he estimated it
would require the Distribution of about

the hope that the Senate and House

Answering question of member
of the committee, Mr.. Seibold said he
was in favor of extending the Dement'S
of the retirement law to thoS@ EN-

Lacoste has gone back to the tennis
of Is and 20 years ago to build a
foundation for his game. Although
he has adopted the fast. American
twist ball and although he makes oc-
casional sallies to the forecourt, he
has conquered mainly from the base
line, where such modern stars as Wat
son Washburn and Nathaniel w.
Niles faltered within reach of national
crowns.
The French stars offensive, the
antithesis of that of his compatriot,
Borotra, is almost colorless in its
precision of stroke. Tllden with his
curved ball service, Richards with his
volleys, Johnston with his great fore
hand drive. Williams, Murray and Nc
Loughlin with violent net assaults
swept all before them by the sheer
power of their brilliant attacks.
Lacoste has sounded note of de-
fiance to the modern tennis trend.
And in his cool, deliberate, almost
effortless way, he has succeeded where
success seemed almost beyond attain
ment.

Cobb Will Equal Another
Record in 1926 Seasol

One of the few outstanding records
of major-league baseball which are
not in the trophy room of Tyrus Ray
mond Cobb is almost within his grasp
the greatest number of years in
baseball. The 22-year record of the
late Adrian C. ('Pop") Arson will be
equaled when the Georgia Peach steps
out on the diamond this season. An
son was virtually benched after his
% years In major-league baseball.
Last year Cobb caught up with Honus
Wagner of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who
completed p years in baseball before
retiring. Cobb is now thirty-nine
years old, but the lack of speed which
brought about the retirement Of Wag-
ner and Arson is not indicated in
Cobb's 1925 mark of 81 tallies for his
team.
In batting Cobb's record excels that
Of Arson. In q years Cobb has gath
cred 1898 hits in 1888 times at bat,
while Arson made 1851 hits in 9,OS4
times at bat, Cobb's lifetime average
being $3.50 to Anson's .339

PAUL GLEE WAIVER
BIG HANDY MAN"
One of Most Versatile Play
ers in Baseball.

Manager McKechnie of the Pitts
burgh Pirates will have handy man
in Paul Glee Waner. Should Max
Carey want to nurse his floating ribs
Paul win feel right at home In cen
ter, and should Hazen CuyIer want
to go fishing the Pacific coast star viii
be no stranger in left field.
Should there be no chance to
squeeze the high-priced Paul into the
outfield he might find berth at first
base, provided George Grantham or
John McInnes would be in need of
rest. Paul's usefulness isn't at an
end, even there, for be 1t known he is
former pitcher. 1t was as hurler he
made his mark in the East Central col
lege at Ada, Okla, and it was as a
pitcher that he reported to the San
Francisco team In 1923.
Paul had no professional expert
ence when he became a full-fedged
Seal, and he thought that he wanted
to keep on being pitcher. Man
ager Jack Miller of the Seals didn't
know what to do with him, but he
soon found out He discovered that
as a pitcher he was a great hitter,
and a hitter ne became, setting a
record on the Pacific coast with an
all-around average of 1878 for the sea
sons of 1928, 1924 and 1925. OF course
he didn't do quite so well the first
season as he did in his last when he
hit for percentage OF .401 in 174
games.
Waner is one of those useful slug
gers who specialize In intermediate
hits. He is sparing with his swings,
but leans on the ball hard enough to
make the fielders hustle In order to
head him off going to third base. That
is why he had only II home runs last
season and 70 two-baggers. That was
quite few more than the next high
est Seven times he stretched his hits
into triples.
At one period during the past sea
son he batted safely in 81 consecutive
games which should be notice to Ma
tional league hurIers that Paul is no
fash IN the pan.

Uncle Robby in Need of
Some Batting Support

Are the old boys there? See what

June afternoon and the Baltimore
Sun said:
Robinson surpassed all previous
records in batting this season. In the
first game he came seven times TO bat
and made seven base hits, with a total
of eight bases. In the second game
he said his lamps were little tired
and he made two hits out of i've times

city. Note that the War department
has had the Durham record all these
years.
Here's curious sort of mistake,
with an absurdly simple explanation :
One day in setting the type Of some
one of the various directories" a
compositor picked up from the case
capital "R" instead of capital
e." Thereupon the type read "Rd"
instead of Ed" In consequence
somewhat later Edward became Rich
ard. So we find in the 1911 edition Of
the Directory the following BIZ
ographies:
McCtaughey, Edward Wilson a repre-
sentative from Indiana: born in Green
castle, Ind, January 16, 1917; attended
the public schools; studied law, was
admitted to the bar in 1885 and prac-
ticed member of the state senate in
1912; elected as Wing to the 18th
congress March 4, 1845-March 8, 1847) /;
1. 1S49 March 8. 1850; unsuccessful
candidate for reelection to the Sand
congress; died in San Francisco, Cal.
August 6, 1852.
McGaughey, Richard W., a represen-
tative from Indiana; resident of Rock
Vile. Ind; elected to the 31st congress
March 4, 1S49 March 8, 1850.
Yes; as you have already guessed,
these two McGaugheys are one and
the same man and his name was Ed
ward Wilson McGaughey. A study of
the house journal for the Thirty first
congress disclosed the mistake
Page 464 of the 1911 edition is large
ly taken up with biographies of the
Bayards of Delaware. Almost con-
tiguous are biographies of "Bayard,
James Asheton, Jr" and "Bayard
James Asheton 3d." They are one and
the same man-who represented Della
ware in the senate from 1851 to 1869,
with the exception of a short time.
The new edition, of course, will add
another Bayard-the present senator,
Thomas Francis Bayard. The sena-
torial record of the Bayards is unique
The father of the present senator,
Thomas Francis Bayard (1S28-9S) his
grandfather, James Asheton Bayard

ard Henry Bayard (1796-IS6S); his
great-grandfather, James Asheton
Bayard I'd Q767-1815), and his great
great-grandfather, Richard Bassett
(l745-1815), were all United States
senators from Delaware.
Roger Sherman, delegate, represen-
tative and senator from Connecticut
from the First Continental congress to
his death in the Second United States
congress, is set forth as having given
unique service In that he helped pre-
pare and signed all four of the great
documents: Articles of Association,
1774: Declaration Of Independence
1776; Articles Of Confederation, 177S !;
