Hays speech was a dramatic con-
clusion of the successful drive.
On prohibition and atheism, the
assembly passed resolutions urging
united action. All agencies designed
to defeat prohibition and the "lack
of public conscience" in adhering to
the laws were condemned in en-
phatic terms and the power of all
Presbyterian churches was called on
to defeat the purpose of the associa-
ton for advancement of atheism and

GREATEST OF ALL THRILLS.

Released athletes take great pleas
ure in trimming the proteges OF some
manager who once decorated them
with the royal order of the tin can.
"Bing" Miller and Wally Schang, OF
the st. Louis Browns, recently enjoy
ed that thrill at the expense of Con-
ME Mack and his Athletics.
Schang made his debut as a big
league catcher under Mack in 1913.
He played under the colors of the
Athletics for five years and was then
traded to Boston. He was sent to st.
Louis in 1926 when Higgins started
to rebuild the Yankees
Miller was secured by Mack from
washington in 1922 and stuck around
until 1926 when he was also sent to
the Browns.
In the first series between st. Louis
and New York, the Yanks took four
straight. Philadelphia followed and
expected soft picking. Mack's team
lost three out of four. It was quite
a jolt.
'Bing" Miller and Wally Schang
were largely responsible for the
three wins scored by the Browns.
Schang won one game with
homer with the bases filled, while
MiIler's batting virtually decided
the other two.
EDDIE COLLINS ON ZACHARY.
on the Philadelphia Athletics is
Lefty Grove, who probably has more
stuff than any southpaw since the
days of "Rube" Waddell. On the
same team is Eddie Collins.
When Collins was with Chicago he
had no great difficulty hitting Grove,
despite his great stuff. Collins likes
to face pitchers who have something
on the ball.
| On the st. Louis club is Tom Zach
ary, a 1eft-hander one of the smart
est pitchers in the game, yet having
just ordinary stuff. AS he pitches
the rival team means at it's inability
to hit him. The opposition doesn't
give him credit for his uncanny con-
troll and a little bit better stuff thar
it seems.
| Collins says Zachary is the tough
est pitcher in the American league
for him to register base hits against
AS Collins in a recent game at st
Louis was returning to the bench
after having popped up following sew
eral other failures to hit, he sho
this one at Zachary:
"Why don't you try pitching
with your right hand--yOu might
then have enough stuff for fell
low to hit the ball out of the
field"

BILLY EVANS SAYS
PECULIARITIEs OF BASEBALL

PECULIARITIES OF BASEBALL
Twenty years ago, after Southpaw
doc" White of the Chicago White
Sox had whitfield Ty Cobb on four
successive trips to the plate, Freddy
Payne was substituted for him as
the hitter in the ninth.
It is the only time in Cobb's ca
reer that a batter has been sent in
for him, due to inability to hit.
White had Cobb's number that day
but as White often said, It suffered
plenty for those four strikeouts later
on in Cobbs career"
Payne batting for Cobb" looked
mighty funny in print 20 years ago,
for there probably never will be a
better all-round batsman. However,
the box scores of this year have
several times carried a line that is
almost as ludicrous when you con-
slider past performances.
French running for Cobb is the
line in the summary that I have
reference to. In his prime, there
never was better base-runner than
Cobb. Age, however, exacts its toll
from the legs of the athletes first.

MANILA'S NEW STATION

Broadcast Center Held Ten Times
More Powerful-Radio Law
Adopted.
DEyORA NADWORNEY.

The new broadcast transmitter, to
be known as Radio Manila, is expect
ed to go on the air about February
IS. according to advices reaching the
Department of Commerce.
The opening of this station. re-
ported as 10 times as powerful as the
older set, should create considerable
interest among the native fans.
Coupled with this announcement
coyaes word that the Nieto radio bill,
w hen provides that owners of receiv-
irs' sets will contribute toward the
support of the stations they listen to,
has become a law. This removes one
handicap which radio suffered in the
Philippines: formerly broadcasters re-
ceived no financial support from the
fans and only what accrued from the
sale of apparatus. This return was
never very much, and the total pros
pective sales Of receivers in the islands
was never reassuring to the pioneer
broadca Sters
Assurances of reception in all parts
of these islands are given. and it is
expected that a radio boom will start
shortly. Provisions of the new bill
require the licensing of all receivers
and the payment of fees, in return for
the excellent service promised with a
new station, improved studio facili-
ties and better programs.

MANILA, February THE adven-
ture OF Princess Tarhata Hiram, viva
cious niece of the Sultan of Sulu and
fourth and favorite wife of the rebel
lious Datu Tahil, who recently frus-
trated the military plans of a whole
regiment of the Philippine constabu-
larry, has come to an inglorious end.
A dispatch to the Manila Bulletin
from Zamboanga today said the dar-
ing Moro princess, abandoned by her
husband. footsore. exhausted. contrite
and alone, was picked UP on the slopes
of Mount Maligay, Jolo Island, and
turned over to the authorities by an
other Moro chief.

followers. now is hiding in the Jolo
jungles, hated and hunted. He is
wanted by the constabulary forces for
sedition and his recent flyer in revolu-
tionary activity, coupled with his
desertion of the princess. is said to
have turned the sentiment of his
people against him. Most of his fol
lowers have surrendered. 1t was pre-
dicted that he would be killed.
Princess Tarhata, an odd mixture
of East and West recently married
Tahil. She is graduate of the Uni
versity of Illinois. On returning to
the Moro Kingdom she retained the
mannerisms Of the West-wore short
skirts and bobbed hair and became the
first fiapper of Moro land. But the
call of tradition and the influence of
the tropics wore away the veneer of
a strange civilization, and she gave
them up when she entered Tahils
harem.
Balks Attack on Husband.
AS bride of only few weeks, she
followed Tahil when he rebelled and
entered his fertilization. The regi.
ment of constabulary which had been
sent to put down the rebellion stopped
short when within attacking distance,
for the attack might have meant
