Of the Pittsburgh defense. The huge
Californian, named to start the ball
rolling for the Pirates, was forced
out of the game by injuries in early
season and got back just in time to
play a decisive part in the victory

Pittsburgh fans to pitch two games

Yankees Favored
The Yankees went into the champ
ionship tusslc bolstered by slight
edge in popular support, won by
their reputation for long distance
hitting. The sports world loves the
wallop and the Yankees have it.
The Pirates are no mean hitters, but
they do not slam the bali high and
far away as do the Yankees, inspired
by the super-slugging of Babe Ruth
and Lou Gehrig.
Conceding the power of the Amer
lean league attack the National
leaguers counter with a conviction
that they will be able to prove that
the best offense is not the best
denfense in baseball. The Buccaneers
believe that they match the smuggling
of the Yankees with speed. If the
series could be decided by relay
race, the home team would win.
Welcome Opening Day
Arrival Of the opening day was
welcomed by players and fans alike,
the players from mental stand
point and the fans, who stood in line
all night, for physical reasons. The
hundreds of men and few women,
who occupied "box seats" outside
the park that they might later sit in
bleacher seats inside, love their base
ball.
The box seats were sold by boys
and men and brought prices growing
higher as the night wore on. Run
ming larger to soapboxes they could
be purchased early in the evening
for rs or 80 cents, but after mid
night they becam much dearer.
Many major league ball players
will see their fellows contest for the
championship of the baseball play
ing world. The National league
representatives can see nothing but
the Pirates and the American
leaguers are behind and deaf to any
sight or discussion Of any ball club
but the YANKEES.

PROBATION
State Unit Makes Advance
in Last Year.

-Four outstanding accomplishments
of the State probation department
during 1927 are listed in the annual
report of the department, issued by
Mrs. Florence Riddick, Boys State

CHANGE TO old
M'NARY-HAUGEN
BILL FORECAST
Compromises Fail to Bring
Results; Coolidge Veto
Is Expected.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.--EffortS
to reach compromise agreement
on farm relief have proved futile
and it now appears likely that Con-
gresS will pass the old McNary-
Haugen bill with some changes al
though that measure is certain to
be vetoed by President Coolidge.
Since Congress met three weeks
ago, some farm bloc leaders have
been working earnestly for abandon
ment of the McNary- Haugen
equalization fee system in favor OF
some measure which could obtain
presidential approval.
Suggested Direct Loan
Now these efforts will be dropped,
and the agriculture committees Of
both houses will be called to meet
after the Christmas holidays to
whip the McNary bill in shape for
presentation.
Just who is responsible for failure
of the compromise efforts has not
been determined.
The United Press is informed that
Chairman McNary of the Senate
Agriculture Committee submitted to
President Coolidge before Congress
met, a proposed compromise measure
which would have established a
direct government loan system to
enable cooperative marketing or
CARNATIONS to handle SURPRISES for
export.
Sees Early Scare
Mr.. Coolidge submitted the meas
ure to Secretary of Agriculture
Jardine and to Secretary Of Com
MERGE Hoover, who we're doubtful
about some of its features. Mean
time the farm bloc itself found
numerous objections to the McNary
plan and many of its important
members expressed desire to stand
by the old McNary- Haugen bill even
though they feel Mr.. Coolidge
would veto it. They did not wish to
desert the old bill until a better bill
is found.
That left compromise efforts at an
impasse which now has drifted TO
the point where those concerned be-
lieve further steps along those lines
would be fruitless.
Hence the old bill will be whipped
into shape in early January and pre-
scented without major change for a
vote expected in the Senate by
Feb. 1. The House Agricultural
Committee will begin hearings on
farm relief Jan. is, and action there
may be delayed until the Senate has
taken the first step.

MAKING GOOD
ON PROBATION
County Bureau Finds go
Per Cent Come Back
3 Head-See Puzzle

Ninety per cent of adults placed
on probation since the creation Of
the Marion County probation de-
partment in october have made
good, Scion c. Vial, head Of the de-
partment, announced in making his
first annual report on the work. /
The department was created by
the 1927 Legislature as an adjunct
to the Marion County courts. Dur
ing the nine months before october
only forty adults were on probation.
With the creation of the depart
ment, forty-eight were placed on
probation in October, fifty-nine in
November and f1fty-one up until
Dec. %.
Ninety per cent OF the proba-
TONERS are men. Forty-one per cent
of the total were charged with being
drunk. Ten per cent were charged
with driving while intoxicated. The
sentences range from thirty to as
many as 600 days and fines.
Modern methods have gone into
the payment of these fines. The de-
partment workers investigate ability
to pay and the probationer is al
lowed to make installmentS. These
vary in size from 81 to IS or more
a week. Not only has this system
been applied to fine payments, but
in one case has been extended to a
man making restitution on $3.50
forged check.
Assistants to Vial are Miss Laurel
Thayer, who had charge of delin-
quents before the department was
organized; Miss Ethel Weldy and
Miss Sarah Rhodecker.
