.Bill Gleason did it."

|
 That is what Connie Mack tells i you when the sensational pitching of 1 Southpaw Lefty" Groves comes up for discussion.
 Connie invariably refers to "Kid'' . Gleason as Bill, for he is strong for 1 propriety in all things and Kid" is a tride sIangy. Says Connie:
 Gleason gave Groves the conf dcnce ne needed, made several slight 1 changes in his style and now he ap- l pears all set for a big year. ! T have had under my manage ors in the history Of the game. Rube' WaddeH and Eddie Plank; looks as if l have a third one in Grove"
 So if Gleason fails to do another worthwhile thing for the rest of the year, he has already earned his salary in the transformation of Grove.
 Incidentally this stuff that has been printed about there being a rift between Mack and Gleason is the purest bunk. Connie has the greatest respect in the world for GIeason's judgment and the players are strong for him. They couldn't be otherwise, because he is one of the finest characters in the game.
 Make Ideal Combine
 On the bench Mack supplies the direction of play while Gleason im- parts the enthusiasm and encour- agement. They make an ideal com bination.
 When I talked with Gleason about Grove, he pooh-poohed" the idea that he was in any way responsible for the Southpaw's great work of this spring.
 That guy is naturally a great pitcher, all he needed was to find himself Of course, l offered ccr- tain suggestions. as l do to every player and some of them Grove found beneficial
 In spring training l was of the opinion that Grove strided too far, causing him to be of balance when he delivered the ball. Such condition causes wildness and pre- vents the pitcher from getting his stuff on the ball.
 One day after Grove had taken an exceptionally long stride in de- liFering the ball, yelled for him 10 hold his position.
 Then l rushed out 10 the bax and by simply pushing one finger against his forehead l caused Grove, who is a siX-footer, 10 fall to the ground because he was so badly off balance.
 That simple experiment caused Lefty 10 do some thinking. he pro- coeded to shorten up his stride and immediately became more effective.
 Easier to Control
 Hike all players of the old school 1 am strong for overland pitchers. Such a style is far easier to control than the sidc-arm. l noticed Grove was widest when using a side-arm delivery. I suggested he stick to the overland ball.
 'Oncc again experiment proved to Grove that he could get more on the overland ball, also control it better. In addition he slowed np his motion triho which made for accuracy.
 Grove made himself" concluded the modest Kid" Gleason. q merely offered q few suggestions that he worked out"
 However. I notice anytime Gleason is in conversation with Grove, Macks southpaw is all attention.

M'BRIDE WILL
TALK TONIGHT
AT AUDITORIUM
North Dakota Division of the
Anti-SalOon League Will
he Launched

Preparations were being made here
today for a mass meeting of plohibi-
tion forces tonight ut which the
North Dakota division Of the anti
saloon league will be launched.
Thomas Is. Gales, organizer OF the
league, has been active here for sew
eral weeks. +. Scott Mcbride, ma
tiOnal superintendent, arrived today
to aid in the organization work to-
night. He will be the principal
speaker at the mass meeting at the
city auditorium, to which the public
is invited.
The plan is to organize North Da-
kota on the same basis as other
states, Mcbride said. There will be
u state advisory board to determine
general policies, state executive
board to supervise the work more
closely and state superintendent
and assistants to do the executive
work.
North Dakota is the last state in
the union to, be organized by the
league. Mcbride said today, because
it has heretofore been unnecessary.
Describing the rapid spread Of the
prohibition movement since it first
was launched at Oberlin, Ohio, a
third-of century ago, DR.. Mcbride
said that North Dakota was not or
ganizcd because the. state already was
dry and the work of the league was
concentrated elsewhere.
The state league which it is pro-
posed to organize here tonight will
devote its efforts to assisting in en-
forcement of the prohibition law,
legislation and education, a statement
by Mcbride said.

AN1l.SAL0ON LEAGUE HAS NEVER PAID
A CONGRESSMAN FOR INTRODUCING OR
CHAMPI0NINC A BILL, WHEELER STATES
Leagues General COun sci
Makes Statement in Defend
ing Propriety Of Paying
Members of Congress- For,
Speeches in Favor of Pro-
hibitiOn

Washington, June 1-(P)-Dtfend-
ing the propriety of paying mem
bers of congress for speeches favor
ing prohibition. Wayne b. Wheeler,
general counsel of. the Anti-saloon
league, in statement published to-
day, said his organization never had
paid senator or representative for
Or championing a bill.
His statement was issued in reply
to one made public by Representative
Tinkham, Republican, Massachusetts,,
announcing that he intended to in
troduce a resolution today providing
for an investigation by a special
house committee to ascertain whether
Representative Cramton, Republican,
ceiyed money or fees from the Anti
tion interested in legislation pend
ing before congress"
Paid for Speeches
Holding that q member of congress
"who has ability enough SO that the
people want. to hear him should not
be stopped from this service simply
because he is public official.
Wheeler asserted that "when con-
grcssman makes speech for prohi-
biti0n, his expenses and sometimes
an honorarium is paid by the organ
ization. that arranged for it,"
Representative Tinkham's charge
that the head of the leagues pro
fessional lobby has admitted that
81, 500 900 was spent in one year and
100000 in single congressional
election" brought from Wheeler the
statement that "Tinkham's hallucina-
tions about the league spending two
and half million dollars in politics
in a year is nonsense" That was the
total spent "for all purposes in the
height of the campaign for ratifi-
cation" be went on, land most of it
was spent for educational work." The
vets, he countered, Yin Pennsyl-
vania alone, raised over one million
dollars year to control and corrupt
the politics of the state in the saloon
days"
Charge Denied
With respect to the representa-
tive's charge that details bf the
leagues expenditures have never
been published, "as required by the
federal corrupt practices act" he said
his organization for years was the
only one that did file reports of it's
political activities and that the wet
groups "back of Mr.. Tinkham" had
to do so "only in recent years when
we drove them to it."

RIVER BOAT
SINKS AFTER
BEING .RAMMED
Washington Irving Goes Down
in Hudson River-6OO
Passengers Saved

New York. June l-(P)-With GOO
passengers, the Washington Irving,
pride of the Hudson River Day Lines
Albany-New York fleet, was rammed
by tanker off Hobokcn, N. j., today
and sank. All passengers were re-
ported rescued.
The Washington Irving, said to be
the largest passcnger-carrying river
boat in the world, a side wheeler Of
four thousand tons, had left it's pier
but q few minutes when it was
struck. The identity of the colliding
vessel did not appear in early re-
ports received by the officers of the
line here.
Water came into the damaged hold
SO fast that shortly after the last
passenger had been taken off the boat
had sunk to such depth that only
the superstructure showed above the
surface.

l925-26, and the spring of 1926. As
Mr.. Roberts points out, the law of
averages is just as fixed and immuta-
BILE as the law Of gravity and any sup
position in violation of either is sure
to prove wrong. 1t can, therefore, be
expected that the June and July
rainfall in North Dakota will be be-
tween one and two inches in excess
of normal which is about six inches.
It is on this fact that the associa-
tion predicts North Dakota will pro-
duce its greatest crop this year. The

cial records for eighteen points in

association points out, relieved

Resigned Following Re-
.a cent Military Coup

Warsaw. Poland. June 1--(AP)--
Professor Ignatz Moscicki is the new
president Of Poland. He was elected
by the national assembly today to
succeed President WOjciechowski. who
resigned following the recent military
coup lead by Marshal Pisudski.
Marshal Pilsudski was elected by
the assembly yesterday but declined
the post because he said the consti-
tuition did not protect the chief exccu-
tive against parliament by giving him
power to dissolve the legislative body
even in case Of urgent necessity. Pro-
fessor Moscicki, elected today, was
his choice for the place.
Professor Moscicki was born in
1867 He studied chemistry in Riga
University and also in London, and
for time was professor of electro

Right to Grant or
Deny Permit Upheld

Washington, June 1--(P)- The
right Of the commissioner Of internal
revenue to grant or deny denatur-
ing permits in his discretion under
the Volstead act was upheld today by
the supreme court.
The court held that the commits
sioner had not abused his discre-
tion in refusing, to issue permit
to the Making Products company Of
Pittsburgh, which sought authority
to operate a .denaturing plant.
When permit was refused, the
company took the question into the
federal district COURT for western
Pennsylvania, which ruled that the
granting of such permit was dis
cretionary with the commissioner.
md further that the commissioner
was justified in refusing the permit.
The court Of appeals concurred in
that decision, and today the supreme
court added its approval.

too loEg been a branch state" and
that I'VE need to quit fighting among

selves" Governor A. &. SOrlie form
ally launched his campaign for re-

dustrial progp6m has totalcd $27.-
069.51O.77 despite loss by the state
mill and elevator Of $825,311.52 up to
January !. 1926.
These figures, he said, do not in
cludc alleged losses charged to the
Bank Of North Dakota. OF these he
said: 1.-THE losses which have been
charged to the Bank of North Dakota
are indefinite losses, estimated on ac-
count of redcposits in closed banks
and lands acquired through fore
. closure of loans made by the rural
credit department of the bank. In
1925 the bank succeeded in selling
6.744 acres of these lands and realized
a profit on these sales after all prin-
cipal, interest and taxes were paid"
Detailed Profits
The profit credited TO state indus
tries, the executive said. foots up as
follows: Prison twine 100000; State
bonding department $l85,00O; state
hail insurance department, $26
900; fire and tornado insurance de-
partment $6S8,0 workmen's com
pcnsation bureau $2ll ,822.29, a total
profit from these five enterprises of
$27.894 .882.29.
From this figure he deducted the
$825,3ll.52 charged as losses to the
state mill and elevator and arrived at
net profit figures of $27, ,069, ,5l0.77
Some Of the profits were represented
as actual cash on hand by the vari-
ous state departments. Most Of the
alleged profits, however, were listed
as savings to the people because of
reduced cost Of various services, par
ticularly hail insurance.
Referring to the state mill and ele-
a,vator the governor said: "The oper-
lating loss of this industry up to Jan.
nary /, 1925, was $9l.llO.0l; the in.
terest on mill and elevator bonds
