cATCHER


NOW a worn dDbub Tilt Otlc POcl-
ton in which I have differed with
the committee Of writer's. Their
choice for shortstop was Travis
jackson Of the Giants. l picked
Joe Cronin of Washington. 1 have
high regard for Jackson as a
shrortstop. end he was my first
choice last year.
This year. Cronin has come along
as the most improved player in our
league. and getting better all the
time. He is dandy hitter, does
everything we'll and is full OF pep
and hustle all the time.
Cronin Spark Plug
Cronin has been in every game
plsyed by the Washington club. and
he has been the spark plug of the
team which came up from the sec
ond division to be pennant con-
tender. Injuries have kept Jack
son out Of forty games, and they
must have affected his play. l still
rate Jackson as one of the stars
of the game. but I think Cronin' S
all around work day after day gives
him the honors' this year.

players by position:

RULING SLOWS
UP APPELLATE
COURT SPEED
Written Opinions Necessary,
Say Supreme Justices
in Decision.

Speed of the Indiana appellate
court in deciding cases will be
slowed up considerably, due to a
decision handed down by the SUI
preme court Tuesday.
The opinion written by Judge
Clarence r. Martin, reverses for
mer finding of the high court and
holds that written opinions must
be handed down in all cases decided
by the appellate court.
In the past the appellate court
has Speeded decisions by handing
down notice of reversal or AFR
nation signed "Per Curram," which
means "By the court"
But the new ruling holds that
since the supreme court is consti-
tutionally bound to write opinions,
setting forth issues and findings
in each case, the appellate court
must also follow this procedure.
Judge Julius c, Travis diSSented
and Chief Justice David A. Myers
joined in the appellate court re-
quirement finding and case con-
illusions.
The case was that of William
R. Hunter ct al. VS.. the Big -Four
railway. Lower court findings hav-
ing been affirmed in the appellate
court per curiam," the case was
appealed to the high court in an
effort to make the appellate court
set forth it's findings in an opinion
After the Martin decision was
handed down, appellate judges
joined the supreme court in con-
ference Tuesday afternoon.
The decision was said to have
been discussed, as was also the fate
of fifty-three appellate misdemeanor

taking his son Michael off the
throne.
An open break between Carol
and his wife, Queen Helen, devel-
oped; and it can confidently be
expected that the newspapers of
1881 will have plenty of material
about King Carol.
One Of the major tragedies of
1890 was the wreck of the big Brit
ish dirigible R-1O1. destroyed by
fire over France. This. too, will
have its effect in 1881.
Helium gas is being used by all
dirigibles now in place Of the in
f1ammable hydrogen formerly used
everywhere but in the United States,
and this is a direct outgrowth OF
the R-101 disaster. Furthermore,
plans for construction and opera
tons of dirigibles in 1881 will be
affected by the lessons drawn from
the fate that befell the R-101.
Lastly, 1880 produced a nation
wide congressional election, the eff
fects of which will make headlines
for long time tot come. That cleo
ton, wiping out Republican con-
troll of the house and senate, put
many new men into office, retired
some long established politicians
from public life and gave new force
to such political issues as prohibi-
ton and the power trust.
Reviewing these cases, it is
easy to see that not all of the "big
stories" of 1880 died Immediately
after they were printed. Some OF
the most important ones will have
revivals from time to time during
1881.

from the Lucas Norris controversy
it was learned today.
Furthermore, the White House
has passed out word all down the
line to the party leaders warning
them that entirely too much is being
made of the issue.
There apparently is no intention
of carrying forward the demand
made by the focal figure of the de-
bate, Robert H. Lucas, executive
secretary of the Republican national
committee that steps be taken to
GUST from the party Senator George
w. Norris (Rep., Neb).
The matter is to be treated by
those in high command as a per-
sonal dispute between Lucas and
Norris rather than as a party
matter, it is said.

Lucas were involved In the e11ort to

when it occurs. For the present the
watchword is forget It,"
This not only represents the view
at the White House but also that
OF those high in the party who have
not yet become embroiled in tha
controversy.
Republican senator's who recently
have seen the President have como
away with refusals to answer
questions about the Lucas matter,
usually adding, IT have something
more important on my mind,
