Its Ban on Left-Handed
Players; Reduce Handicaps
lBv nisnatch 4. ? Wirel

NEW YORK, JAN 2S-The United
States Polo association raised its ban
on left-handed players and reduced
the handicaps of three international
stars, including two members or
Americas big four" at it's annual
meeting today.
I;evisions of the associations 1925
handicap list left Devereaux Milburn,
veteran back and Tommy Hitchcock,
Jr.. brilliant number two player, as
Americas only ten goal performers.
Jr Watson Webb and Malcolm Ste
venson No. 1 and No. B. respectively
in Americas international lineup,
were cut from ten goals while r. r.
Strawbridge, Jr., who succeeded when
injuries compelled the 1atter's with
drawal from the last series with
Great Britain, was reduced from 8
goals to z.
Failure of their play to tmeasure
up to the standard of former years
was explained as responsible for low
ering the handicaps of Stevenson and
Webb, but that of Strawbrdge, a
younger player, was reduced as the
result of an injury which forced him
out of competition last season.
The restrictive rule against LETT
handed players, adopted in 1922 to
make the game safer was rcscinded
upon the recommendation of Chair
man Louis e. Stoddard, Who was re-
elected He maintained that tourna-
ments should be opened to 4 number

lands THINKS
MEXICO COMING
BASEBALL LAND

Many Douglas baseball fans were
interested in the brief but pithy in
terview which Commissioner x. NJ
Landis, The high mogul OF big. league
baseball, gave to the Ell Paso Times
the ,other day.
Among other things Lands avowed
was that Mexico is coming baseball
country and that organized baseball
officials are ready to so long way
to get the southwest into organized
ball.
In Lands opinion, the boosters OF
this section must get good organized
ball players this season or drop the
game as the fans after seeing Chase,
Gapdil and Weaver play, are not go
ing to be satisfied With bush league
performers And he also intimated
that it was to the detriment of the
southwest that the outlaw players
were welcomed in this vicinity last
season.
The exact expression of opinion on
the baseball outlook for the south
west which Lands made to the Times
writer was as follows:
Judge Landis believes that Mexico
is a coming baseball country. Many
Of his questions were directed toward
the disposition and temperament of
Mexican fans and players, and the
financial backing which Juarez
team might receive.
1T is significant that I cannot re-
call the name of any Mexican or Gu
ban ballplayer who was ever charged
with throwing a game" the judge
said "Fhey may have their faults,
but 1 do not believe that a Mexican
ball player will sell out.
'However, 1 will admit that 1 am
always interested in knowing about
the backing that ball club receives
in a Latin American country. 1t is
so often the case that gambling in
terests get control OF these teams
and run them to suit their own pur-
poses"
The judge assured DR.. Y. J. Nc
Camant that the big men of baseball
are willing to make any kind Of q
concession in order to get the south
west into organized ball.
"There may be rules in existence
that stipulate the number of games
to be played in a season and other
requirements which it would be diff
ficult for Ell Paso to meet, but l feel
certain that Sexton, Farrell and the
others will back me UP in waving
these in case you make an effort to
organize a league" he said.
"Organized baseball and the men
behind it are willing to go farther
for Ell Paso than for any other city
in the country Everybody at Cata-.
lima was talking about this city. Most
Of the men at the convention felt q.
personal interest in this city and l
believe this will be worth thousands
of dollars to you wheh the time
comes to get in.
"Juarez is tremendous asset 70
Ell Paso in a baseball way, but you
will not have good baseball here
again until you have organized ball.
Everyone in the country knows chat
YOU had the outlaws here last year
1t will be impossible to go back to
the old semi-pro ball because the
fans won't pay for it after seeing
men like Chase, Gandil and Weaver
in action Ell Paso must either get
into organized ball now or drop the
idea for good"

GOVERNOR FERGUSON
LOVES HOMELY LIFE
IN O w NJ RESIDENCE

AUSTIN. Texaa Jan. %. - The
homely cackle Of the chicken yard
or the quiet of a rose garden give
Miriam A. Ferguson surcease from
the turmoil which sometimes swirls
about the governors chair.
A glimpse of the intimate life Of
the woman governor was caught
when, at the heighth of the politico-
highway controversy she slipped
away to trim her rose bushes, buy
clothes in Temple, her home town,
and incidentally pay her poll tax.
Despite the fairy stories about
Mrs. Ferguson, homely and beauti-
full, big and little, ignorant and in
telligent, here are some actual facts
about her:
She feeds her chicks.
Eats poor mans bread and tur-
nip greens.
Wears low-heeled shoes.
Drives her automobile
Does not wear bobbed hair
Spreads on a little rouge.
Does not care for society"
Does not smoke.
Occasionally tells jim, her hus-
band, where to head in.
Does not permit Jim to keep
cow in the manison yard.
Mrs. Ferguson does not put on
high toned airs. She dresses neatly.
Last summer she wore light organdic
dresses of mild shades This fall
and winter her gowns run to dark
colors, blue and black satin. She
prefers black or tan shoes, accord
ing to the dress she is wearing.
The governors hair is black streak
ed with gray, and is worn in a coil
around her head.
Her usual office hours are from 8
a. m. to D. m. She and her hus-
band frequently occupy opposite
work between them. Sometimes Mr..
Ferguson, the former governor, uses
an ante room next to the executive
office for consulting visitors, while
his wife sits within the executive
office proper interviewing callers
Mrs. Ferguson has been known to
thumb the flat top desk with her
womanly fist and inform Jim just
who is governor.
She takes time from work to chat
with women Secretaries in the office
about everyday things women are in
terested in.
On the second floor of the capitol
is a small room, reached from the
office by private iron
stairway, whore the governor mas
disappear for rest or study.
Mrs. Fergusons chief interest is
Jim Ferguson, and when she dons
her kitchen apron to "fiX something !
special for Jim," it generally means /!
one Of those Texas dishes, not the
least Of which the poor mans corn |
bread made without milk or eggs !
She cares little for social life ano !
most of her entertaining is done !
when folks just drop in" The state |
pays her $4,000 a year salary, one of /
the smallest governors salaries in
the union, and allows her $4,000
year expenses for the mansion, in
eluding maintenance of the grounds,

Kellogg's ALL BRAN
brought natural relief
in a few weeks

A remarkable, convincing tribute
is paid Kellogg's ALL-BRAN in
this letter from Mr.. f. G. Aminsen,
of Seattle:
Il suffered with chronic constipation for
many years and was compelled to use pills
every night, but since got your Kellogg's
AI4L-BRAN it works fine. would not
be without it. 1 was so deathly sick of
taking pills every night. Now it is so
different. Kellogg's ALL-BRAN works so
naturally and is pleasant to take"
F. G. AMINsEN,
Kennyhole, Seattle, Washington.
You can get permanent relief
from constipation with Kellogg's
ALL-BRAN if eaten regularly.
Two tablespoonfuls daily = or in
chronic cases, with every meal.
Doctors recommend it because it is
ALL BRAN. It does job only
.ALL-BRAN can do. Part-bran
products may not do any good at all.
Eat Kellogg's ALL-BRAN with
milk or cream. Use it in cooking.
Try the recipes given on the pack
age. Kellogg's ALL-BRAN is made
by Kellogg in Battle Creek, Michi-
gan. Served by the leading hotels
and restaurants. Sold by grocers.

Good suggesltion

Football, like every other sport,
is test of skill, speed, strategy
and stamina
In other sports that provide for
extra periods to reach a decision, all
these factors enter and probably play
an equal part in the final result.
Football coaches insist that if an
extra period was added to the grid
game it would largely resolve itself
into a question of stamina.
The smaller college coach says
the bigger institutions would have
a decided advantage by being able
to rush in their reserves in the extra
session.
rather disagree, knowing coaches
as I do. am inclined to think
that most Of them would string
along with their tired but well train
ed veteran stars.
The belief of the coaches that the
game is too strenuous for extra paly,
while sensible enough, isn't entirely
logical 1t would be $3.50 propo-
sition with both teams as to stam-
ina.
Perhaps the extra period will never
be accepted as the solution to pre-
vent tie games in football. but some
one can win everlasting fame by corr
recting the fault

Tie Games Disappoint

In baseball should the game after
any number of extra innings still
be tied, the rules Of all leagues call
for the game to be played over on
some future date.
Football, however, is different.
When the referees whistle at the
end of the fourth period announces
that the time is up, that ends the
contest, the score as is stands as the
final result.
Why not an extra Is minute period
in football? During the past season
I put that question to a half dozen

WHY NOT AN EXTRA PERIOD i
FOOTBALL TO DECIDE TIE
CiONTESVSs

1t seems the football coaches are
pretty well satisfied with the rules
that govern the game.
At their recent meeting in New
York no suggestions were offered as
to changes in the style Of play. 1t
was believed the forward pass would
be considered.
If there is one disappointing fea-
ture to football, it is the tie games
that so often result. Any sporting
event that fails to reach decision
doesn't quite satisfy
A great many sports have provi-
sions that provide for extra play in
case the game is tied at the end of
the regulation time.
If at the end of the ninth inning
q ball game is all even, the teams
go into extra innings and always
reach a decision unless darkness or
rain should prevent it.

Railiest Month
Record Held
By March
Showers Rank April
Fifth Place - Report
73 Days Snow Fall.

To the casual weather expert, who
discusses the rain, snow and wind on
the street car and in the office, April
is the 'rainy month" of the year
the period when raincoats and uIu-
brellas are most necessary.
But, in Indianapolis at least. April
is not the rainiest month--that
honor goes to March. United States
weather bureau records show. April
showers rank the month only fifth
in the standing, when amount or
rainfall is considered.
The normal rainfall for March,
figured for the last thirty years, Is
4.01 inches; that of June. 431 inches;
Of July, 4.13 inches: of May, S.94
inches, and of April. 3.47 inches.
Thus June is the leader for the
thirsty year period.
But when the average rainfall
since 1871 Is considered, the stand
ing are different and March leads.
Amounts are as follows: March. 4
inches; June, 3.9S; July, 3.91; May,
1892, and April, $50.
But during the winter the city
should have become almost hardened
to any kind Of weather, bureau of,
f1cials pointed out. For there were
seventy-three days during the au-
tumn and winter on which snowfall
was recorded. Usually snow falls on
only forty-hve or fifty days.
