NO Time LOST
in SIGNING UP
BY BALLPLAYERS
H0ld0uts Reported to Be
Conspicuous by Absence
AS Season Nears.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Jan. "a. - Sane
businessmen do not believe that the
recent scandals will make baseball
bankrupt and neither do the players
but for some reason the hired help
of the major league club owners are
signing new contracts with alacrity
and smi'es.,
Before Rogers Hornsby was trad
ed out of the management Of the
world champion st. Louis Cardinals
to tho Giants and when the New
York Yankees heard rumor that
Babe Ruth thought he might be
worth &i50,000 per on n new con
tract, there were good reasons to be
lievc that there might be new
concerted holdout movement this
spring.
McGraw and Hornsby, however
reached an agreement on terms after
n conference of about 10 minutes
The signing of the contract, to he!l
out the photographers, was postpon
ed until TIE next day.
II was reported at the time that
Hornsby asked for $4,000 year
and got it with such little effort
that he felt he was sucker for not
demanding more.
McGraw IS troubles seemed sure
when he manipulated a trade by
which re secured Burleigh Grimes
from the Brooklyn club, one of the
most notorious holdouts in baseball
but Grimes contract came back II
the next mail.
The st. Louis Browns were
thought to be in mess when
George Ssler was deposed as tho
manager and was threatened with
transfer to some less desirable CLUB
Sisler signed new contract as
first baseman for $1j 900, which was
said to have been a cut of SlO,Ool
in good dough. -,
Carl Mays, who used to give the
Yankees gray hairs when it came
contract time, was one of the firs'
Cincinnati Reds to get on paper ant
Art Nehf, who never has been hare
to handle, accepted terms before NJ
saw his contract.
Zach Wheat, released by Brooklyn
took a job from Connie Mack aitel
a short telephone talk.

A secondhand Ford,
The old boat sure could crack and
snap,
The motor, how it roared.
Bill got quite completely I'd,
And drove her like "Sam HILL"
Believing that from Hooche and speed
He'd get perfect thrill.
But when the Hooche went to the
spot,
Bill couldn't hold the car,
And so instead of thrills he got,
A most convincing jar.

THIRD TERMS

Do the American people need to be
protected from themselves by a con-
gresional resolution declaring against
third term for any President? Such
a resolution is occasionally presented
to congress, the latest by Senator La
Toilette.
Conceivably there might be time
when the nation might desire the
services of particular man as Presi-
dent for three terms. A President
might show qualities that in the judg-
ment of the voters particularly quail
fled him for some particular national
emergency. Is there any reason why
they should not be at liberty to choose
him if a majority should be so in
clined?
The President in America CORE
spends to the prime minister in Great
Britain. In its long experience with
cabinet government Britain never
has felt called on to bar man from
1ul Ilicl INItS d. IiIS HtdQ VI IllG
state because he already had served.
Gladstone was four times prime
minister at intervals from the late
sixties to the early nineties. There
were plenty of Englishmen who OPP
posed him, and who believed his gov
eminent put British interests in jeo-
pardy. But there was no opposition
to him based on the fact that he had
already served two terms as chief
minister of the crown.
If the time should ever come when
the liberties of the American people
would be endangered by their elect
ing a President for a third term,
those liberties would hardly be worth
saving As for the La Toilette reso-
luton, however, it probably is to be
explained as directed against Presi-
dent Coolidge, rather than against the
hird term principle in general

Five Million Club Boys and Girls
Have Done Much For Farm Life

In reviewing All club work over
the ten-year period, 1914-1924, follow
ing the passage of the Smith-Lever
Act, it is clear that the 100000
farm boys and girls who have been
engaged in All club work during this
time have made genuine and sub
stantial contribution to the improve
ment of American farm life.
These boys and girls have not only
enrolled for many different kinds of
farm and home activities. A very
large percentage of them have COM
pleted all phases of the project under
taken, and have accordingly received
efficient training for later life, and
been fitted to act as leaders to other
boys and girls, and to take their
places as progressive rural citizens.
The enrolment of girls has been
somewhat larger than that Of boys.
In 1924 about 50 per cent of the total
number of club members, or about
300,500, were girls. They were inter-
ested in such projects as clothing con-
struction, food preservation and pre-
paration, home management, garden
ing, poultry, dairy and home improve
ment work, both inside and outside.
Almost 100000 boys were enrolled in
one or more club projects in 1924
This represented considerable
growth of membership over the previ-
Gus year. The demonstration projects
undertaken were limited only by the
problems of the farm itself. Corn,
potatoes, cotton and other crops,
poultry, pigs, dairy and beef cattle
and other livestocy, were chosen by
the greatest number of boys.
The money value of the club pro-
duction of these boys and girls has
been more than its cost, leaving a
liberal margin for the club members
labor. Nevertheless, the educational
influence of the work in establishing
better farm and home practices is re-
garded as its main value.
After outlining in Miscellaneous
Circular S5-M, the various club activi-
ties in detail, George E. Farrell, of
the Office of Cooperative Extension
work, points out that there are about
100000 rural boys and girls be-
tween the ages of 10 and 10 in this
country. Nearly 100000 of these
chiefly between IA and Is years old
are not in school. This is an average
of about $50 per county. These boys
and girls are greatly in need of furth-
err preparation for life through pub
lie agencies. The All club system is
a most helpful agency for this service
When it is sufficiently manned with
trained leaders it can reach a great
many in this large group of young
people who are not in school, as we'll
as great many who are.

Ladies Form Two Teams And
Roll Fair Score For First
Try.

Good craftsmanship was shown in
the local bowling parlor last Thurs
day evening when the White Ele-
plants, of Frostburg met and defeat
ed the Oakland Collegians by score
of 1853 pins to 3136. Both teams
found the centre of the alleys many
times and made their first ball count
three times very often.
The League bowlers rolled high
scores throughout the entire week,
and the final count finds the Method
lists leading the league by five games.
All league games are played on
Tuesday and Thursday nights.

ent engagements during the last two

Unwritten Rules Govern Legislature

Continued from page H.
except possibly small portion of the
people, who are never satisfied with
the work of the General Assembly, no
matter what course the lawmaking
body may follow or what it may do.
Ninety per cent of the people Of the
State are opposed to all radical chang
es in laws and customs prevailing,
and their representatives at the State
House are prepared to carry out their
wishes. They realize that they are
there in representative capacity
that they are at Annapolis to carry
out the popular willard they can be
depended on to do it, as their fathers
have done before them.
Perhaps the most noticeable feat
ure of the session. up, to the present
time, is the complete absence Of the
old-time lobbyists-none of them
are camped here, as they have
been at all former meetings since the
Civil War. 1t is true, there are few
of those who were called in the olden
days petty larceny lobbyists" but
there seems to be little left for them
to do of a profitable nature, and
those who will admit that such is
their business, complain that there is
nothing doing" and bewail the
profitable sessions of the past. If
there is any real work for the lobby,
there is no sign of it, and the pic
turesque, and interesting characters
of former generations, VINO dealt out
champaign and terrapin, not to men
ton money and promises, appear to
have gone forever. The usual cor
poration bills, are no more in evidence
the usual prominent attorneys"
who were here in days past are gone,
Cooking out for the interests of their
clients" are conspicuously absent and
while occasionally a lawyer of emin-
ence appears on the scene, he salts
fies himself by making an argument
before committee and then departs
for Baltimore. And the ''pig games"
which were part of former sessions
are heard of no more. There is no ap-
preciable drunkenness here now, and,
possibly a member may occasionally
take drop or two more than is good
for him, it is a rare exception to see
anyone under the influence of any
sort of liquor either at the State
House or around the town. While a
large proportion cannot be said to
favor prohibition, there is no doubt
but practically all are really tenn
perate in their habits and whatever
drinking is done, is moderate in it's
character, and none of the former
scandals arising from drunkenness,
are to be seen at the State House this
winter.
Taking it altogether, the members
of the present legislature are thor
oughly representative of what is best
and most respectable in the citizen
ship of the whole STATE, and Mary
land will probably have no reason to
feel ashamed of them, when the final
adjournment takes place and the
record Is placed in tho historic ar
chives of the commonwealth.
