What makes the southpaw wild?
Major league managers would well
come the answer to that question.
Without a doubt the biggest dis
appointment of last season in the big
show was Lefty Groves of the Ath-
lettics.
Lack of control made more or less
of a bust" out of Groves.
The previous season with the Bal
timore club of the international
league, Groves had been the sensa
tion of the circuit. He won 26 and
lost only 6. incidentally he struck
out 231 men in 236 innings, almost
one an inning. Some pitching.
When Groves got the ball over the
plate in the American league he was
almost as effective for he whitfield
116 men in 1877 innings.
On the showing of Groves largely
depends the chances of the Athletics
to win this year.

San Fransisco, Cal. May 24 (P)- |. s. Webb, attorney general for California, threw the first wrench in President Coolidge's new machinery for county enforcement of the Vol stead act, when he expressed doubt as to the legality Of the move.
 Under the presidential order, Ned Green, federal prohibition admin istrator here, would be empowered 10 swear in as federal officers deputy shcriffs who now enforce the law under the Wright act, q state law, which adopted the provisions Of the Nolstcad act.
 The advantages of the new move by Green. were not clear to the number Of sheriffs interviewed by the Associated Press. The main tained they could do nothing as fed eral officers that they are not now able to do as county officers, Under the Wright act, the state law, all the

 cases are tried In superior courts, located within the counties where he offense has been committed. Un- der the new plan, all cases would be thrown into United States district courts. where congestion of cases has left crowded calendars the officials point out.
 Colonel Green, prepared today to forward the names of 35 officials in the state who have assured him, previous to Attorney General Webb opinion, that they could cooperate. At present only 40 federal officers are engaged in prohibition enforce ment in California and Colonel Green has hoped to obtain between 800 and 400 men under the new plan.
 'I am skeptical of carrying out the plan in California" Webb said. Many of our municipal charters, including San Francisco's. will make it extremely difficult to link peace enforcement officers with the feder al prohibition machinery"

Apples Grow On Bushes

j. r. Moore, who lives on farm
near Dalton, has flower bush that
bears a fruit resembling apples. He
sent in a cutting from the bush last
Thursday by Prof. Leondus Baker.
The branches in the spring contain
brilliant red blooms and when the bios
SONS drop the fruit appears.
The tree is directly beneath a plum
tree and Mr.. Moore expressed the be-
lief that roots of the bush had become
grated with roots of the plum tree or
bees had carried pollen from nearby
fruit trees to the bush.
The fruit, however, closely resem-
bles an apple in shape and color and
smells like an apple. When cut open
it is found TO contain an abundance OF
seeds which are placed and shaped
like the seeds Of an apple.
The flavor of this unusual fruit Is
bitter-sour, or acid.
