 Danville is also the scene of the Cards baseball school ol warehouse for talent. Young play CTS are sent there in the late spring and with the scouts coaches and managers of the Birds on hand to look them over and make up faculty. sessions of three and even four day are held, based on the number oi students at the moment. Branch Hickey, vlce-president of the St Louis club, is dean of the school and has the entire chain under his general supervision.
 Young players, often in their teens, are sent there for inspec ton by the Cardinals expert ap. praisers of talent. Boys from city leagues. industrial circuits and even neighborhood teams arc picked up and given ticket to Danville.
 Some may go home and como back for further instruction next year, while some with promise and hints of action" will be given long ride to Mississippi to join Laurel. Still more style will win chance in one of the c or B leagues. Comparatively few oi these boys are ready for a ven. ture in A or IA. That will come later when they have served an apprenticeship.
 Ambition is one essential. The boy going to Laurel must feel that he has a major league glove and bat in his locker for straight ahead stretches Topeka or Day. ton, Houston or Rochester, all stations on the way to St. Louis.
 Many of the teams present stars have worked their way up to the Cards by the chain route, the number including Chick Ha. fey, Fred Farmhouse. Jim Bottom. ley and Tommy Thevenow. Fully half of the 1928 Cards won their spurs either at Houston or Syra. cuse, which was the International League link until this year when the Card interests shifted to Rochester es;1i

97O, 900 Fund Grows
 From Spurnsd Grants

DETROIT. April 9-There is a $70,0 ,00O fortune in the vaults of the Wayne County building known eolloquially as the wounded pride fund"
 It is listed as the missing heirs fund" but is made up almost en' tirely of $1 and s5 bequests in wills which heirs so often reject because of hurt feelings or wound ed pride.
 The fund originated in 1902 and 1t mounts each year. Interest now is accommodating rapidly, for there is no legal way to dispose of the money. Prior to 1921, the interest was turned over to the general fund, but that was held illegal.
 What will be done eventually with the fortune Is an official puEsle. It is not believed the rightful heirs ever will claim 1t, for in all cases before the money was turned back to the fund a legal tender of the amount of the bequest was made to the heir and 1t was disdafnfully refused.

we stress that feature, for in tho scores of ball players on the ros- ters of our seven clubs, including the mother club, are youngsters who are sure to arrive, although they may have to serve many years in the smaller leagues be- fore they are graduated to the Cardinals. We insist that they be grounded in the fundamentals and get experience under compe- tent instruction"
 The clubs of the St. Louis chain are scattered throughout the country during the training sea son. although pitchers and catch CTS from several of the clubs are training with the Cardinals at Avon Park.
 President Breadon left a group in which the talk was Of base. ball and baseball farming to greet two travel worn boys, evidently athletes, as they entered the hotel
 
 Are your players still report. ing. Sam?" the president was ask. ed, when he returned to his chair in the lobby.
 Yes, those boys are a couple of pitchers who belong to the Dan vile club. Two of our pitchers developed sore arms in the train ing here, SO we sent for four more. These arrivals arc half of the order
 St. Louis tends to wholesale rather than retail baseball So many players are subject to call that when two are hurt a hurry summons is sent for four. The or der could be made to read 40 in stead of four and be filled in ,as many hours.

China Waits to See How They
 Will Revere It

Picking, May 1s.-LP1The birth place and tomb of Confucius at Chufu Cor Kufow). Central Shan tung, have fallen into the hands Of the 'southern revolutionaries, and throughout China those who revere the great sage are waiting anxiously to see what treatment these sacred places will receive at the hands of the Nationalists.
 Little Respect
 Hitherto the revofutionaries, pro- claiming a new political and social order. have paid little respect to the memory of the sage or to the moral code bearing his name that has guided official and personal conduct in China for more than 2.o0o years.
 Chufu. a small walled city. separ- ated by six miles of dusty plain from the Tientsin- Pukow railway. con- tains the ancestral home of the Dukes of Kung. lineal descendants Of Confucius, built on the site where stood the modest cottage in which the sage was born in 551 B. c.

 The Connecticut power politician continues holding 10 the belief that President Coolidge will be nomina- ted. But that isn't all: He believes the statement of Secretary Mellon that Hoover is the best availa ble candidate does not change the situ- ation. So far as Roraback is con- cerned. the Mellon statement con- firms his belief that Coolidge will be nominated.
 J. Henry most asSurcdly has a mind of his own. He seems to be quite headstrong. in fact. And by the way. having a headstrong disposi ton is one Of the qualifications for being q Republican senator.

ing somewhat upon the political views of the individual. Scarcely anyone can deny. however. that the people are less inclined to grow ex- cited over national developments.
 Try to find an individual who is aroused over any of the numerous issues named by Cordell Hull. Find in ga needle in a haystack is just as easy.
 The reason seems to be a general pre-occupation with personal affairs. So long as the average individual can enjoy his list of luxuries he is yielding precious little time 10 worry over governmental affairs. He should not be of this easy-going frame of mind. of course: but he has gotten this way and nothing but a, concen- tration by politicians upon Hive is- sues' will reviyify his attitude.
 There is hope. however. Let the Republicans nominate Hoover and the Democrat nominate Al Smith. By the time the election IS over Cordell Hull will not be able to claim there was lack of public interest, In will be an old-time election cam paiSn with enough heart breaking doubts about it until the last vote is counted to please all friends Of democracy and 100 per cent public interest.

JAPAN AND MANCHCRIA

Regardless of whatever obstruc- tions arc placed in their path by Japan, the southern Nationalists In China continue their victorious drive toward Picking. General Chang lin, the Manchurian war lord defending Picking, is inclined to re- treat into Manchuria-especially If he sustains one more defeat-and what would be more natural than that the Nationalists should chase after him? But nay; they must not. Japan has announced that the chase must not go beyond a certain line north Of Peking. If Chang Tso-lin wishes to chase himself pellmell back to Manchuria. where he came from, he can do SO: but If General Chiang Kai-shek and General Feng Yu Hsiang. in command of the victorious southerners, go after him beyond the line announced by Japan then both armies will be disarmed. Just like that! Considering that the southern CTS have around 250.oo0 troops and the northerners around 150. 900, the Japanese have cut out quite job of disarming out for themselves if they actually go through with their threat.
 Japan thinks 1t has some sort of special interest in Manchuria in the first place. It has forgotten alto gether that this province is an integral part of the Chinese repub- lie as if was of the empire. Russia was the first power 10 bite off pieces of Manchuria and Japan has fallen into her footsteps as the power to think it has better right in Man churia than China. Such high hand . ed claims as the Japanese are mak- ing is bound 10 lead to more trouble ! than has as yet bothered it's states men. Her opposition to the National ists has been well known from the i beginning. and despite the self-evi- 1 dent support she has given to Chang 'rso-lin from Manchuria the south.

LEWIS NOW WANTS
 TO BE 0N SLATE
Former Senator Would Run
 With Smith

New York. May 1s R-James Hamilton Lewis, former senator from Illinois, is seeking to become Governor Smiths running mate on tho democratic national ticket
 Acting on the theory that Gov ernor Smith will be the democratic presidential candidate and name his running mate, Lucius J. M. Nal min. United States judge for the Virgin islands. who described him. self as "chief scout. envoy ex- traordinary and duly accredited rep- resentative of the receptive candi- date." interviewed the governor in behalf of Mir. Lewis.
 He said he was not at liberty to tell how Governor Smith had re- acted to his suggestion but that he was "elated' over his talk with the governor and with George w. Ol- vany. head of Tammany hall. Judge Malmin also talked with Mayor Walker and other demo- cratic leaders. He said he had con- ferred previously with Glenn Shaver. chairman of the democratic national committee.
 Former Senator Lewis was . candidate for the vice presidential nomination at the 1900 democratic , convention. being backed by the Pacific coast states. He was q resi- dent of Seattle, Wash, at that time. In 1920 he was unanimously nomi-
 mated by the state democratic con- vention in Illinois for the vice presidency.

\ WARNING FROM LOWDEN

The declaration by Frank 0. Low den of Illinois that he will not &C., cept Ahe nomination for president on the Republican ticket unless the party meets the farm issue.' Which In his estimation can be done only by a signing of the McNary-Haugcn bill by President Coolidge, yields food for thought. The Illinoisian goes so far as to say the Republican party faces defeat unless it recog- nizes the demands of the farmers.
 The declaration of political prin- ciple thus laid down will have the tendency to divide the Republican ranks on the farm issue to larger extent than heretofore anticipated. There can be no doubt that there are several millions of farmers keenly aroused over the fate of agricultural relief plans but no one knows how far they will go in venting their anger should the President again veto the McNary bill and Hoover, who is opposed to it. should be nominated Will these aggreved mill lions, nominally Re1pblicans, flout the party headed by Hoover?
 Conditions are likely to be com
 plicated considerably if the Demo- cratic party comes out four square for farm relief. Southern Democrats the past year have been won over to the McNary -Haugen scheme by the inclusion of cotton and other i product grown in the South. There that the issue Of farm relief far transcenls any other issue that might be raised including prohibi- ton, and that the advocacy of these other issues minus the advocacy of farm relief will not fool the agricul tural vote into sticking by the party they have helped 10 maintain in power on so many occasions
 i The Republican party is between two hot fires on the farm relief is. sue. Eastern Republicans are op. posed to it with all the strength oi their financial influence; western
 Republicans are for it with all the
 strength of their votes To whom will

 hearken 10 the East. hoping that the embattled yeomanry Of the west can
 be won over on the strength O,

Chief Hart explains thnre have been complaints about dogs and he has "conidence' in the dog warden. Neither statement proves anything. There are complaints about numer- olls ..ings all the time, whereas the confidence expressed no doubt is due 10 the fact that the police are back Of the drive.

THE KHAN IN ALABAMA

One of the significant news items from Alabama had to do with the appointment by Governor Graves of Ira B. Thompson. former Ku Klux Klan cyclops who was indicted last fall on a charge of being implicated in mob whippings. to the post of county solicitor. The cases against the klansmen last fall came to naught when a jury failed to con- vict the first man brought to trial. Now the governor. as much IS to indicate his own conceptions Of what type Of officials should be In office in Alabama, picks the former cyclops as the chief law enforcing office Of an entire county.
 Alabama seems to be Heflinized 10 the hilt so far as its officials are concerned. It's press is more liberal minded. a large proportion of the newspaper editors failing to grasp the benefits of government by the lash or under the tutelage of the Heflin variety of officials. Widespread indignation that was aroused over the klan whippings, despite the failure to convict anyone, seems to have discouraged the night riders considera bly,. The governor has shown little independence by trucking to the crowd who brought disgrace upon the state.
