GREENSBORO. N. c., April 6
G.N.SO Bill McKechnie ana his
tribe of Boston Braves pulled in

with the Rochester Club.
At the urgent request of hun
dreds of Greensboro fans, "Ol

IN PHONE LOOP

Led by Osgood's 379 set and
with strong support from Foote's
1868 and Hughes 346 set, the
Engineers broke high team set in
the C. & P. Telephone Pin League
with a total of 1902. They also
tied Coin Box for the lead. The
season ends next week.
Coin Box ran into trouble when
it met Installation No. l, and as
result lost two games.
ROllman, of Construction No.
l, shot 165 to break high game.
He had IS in his fifth box and
made four consecutive strikes
in the sixth, seventh, eighth and
ninth frames, a split in the
tenth preventing a larger total.
Incidentally, his team beat
Western Branch House three
games. Standings:

headed. broad-faced chap, whose
flattened nose rambled across
his face like a bacRwoods detour
Under his arm he carried a
rolled-up track suit; and from his
hands dangled a pair of dirty
worn track shoes.
They talked for few moments
of the days track events, as boys
will. Finally the conversation
turned to colleges.
Johnny and me are going
down to NOtre Dame this fall"
the taller of the two boys said,
turning to the StcOky lad.
"Why don't you come along?"
The little fellow with the nose
aSkew pondered for a moment
Then he grinned.
where's Notre Dame?" he
inquired. 'T'm going to Illinois,"
The two taller lads weren't
feazed by the kidding.
Maybe NOtre Dame may not
be such a hot place." they re-
tOrted. "but fellow can get a
job down there. And it don't
cost as much as other schools,
either"
The argument continued as the
boys walked down the street. Fl
nally the stocky lad reached the
car line. He swung aboard a
street car, and there from the
back platform, yelled down at the
two lads on the sidewalk.
alright" he said, 'TH 20
with you. When do we Start?"
And that's how Knute Rockne
happened to go to Notre Dame
1t would be much more thrilling,
of course, to write that Rockne
had planned and fought for his
chance at Notre Dame; the story
would be much more interesting
perhaps if we were to tell how
he prayed and hoped and
dreamed of college days; how he
toiled and labored to save funds
to pay for his education. But
that wouldn't be true. AS a
matter of fact Knute Rockne
went to college bacuse an older
sister inSisted-and he went to
Notre Dc:ne because his two pals,
Johnny Devine and Johnny
Plant, were going there. When
he said "I'll go" he wasn't think
ing of education, but of his
pals.
Track First Love
A few weeks later Knute
Rockne was at Notre Dame.
Destiny had begun to unravel
the Skein of greatness for the un-
known lad from Norway.
And here's another funny thing
too. When Knute Rockne
stepped off the train in South
Bend he had no idea of football
greatness or football stardom. He
liked athletics and he liked foot
ball, but track was his forte, and
it was as a runner that he had
built up the little athletic reputa-
ton which he had.
In the mind of the young
Norwegian there still fingered
the football desire; in his minds
eye there still remained the
picture of a ramDant EckerSaI.

Big George "Gawge" Godfrey,

Need Another Pitcher
It is generally conceded that the
development Of one more winning
pitcher will make the Giants q
dangerous contender. McGraw
has announced he will carry II
pitchers. They are Hubbell,
Walker and Mitchell. southpaws,
and Fitzsimmons, Donohue, Berly,
Schumacher, Chaplin, Heving,
Parmalee and Lucas, righthanders.
Walker, HubhelI. FitzSimmOns
and Mitchell are certain to come

DOnOhue should win more games
than he loses and may have one
of his good years.
McGraw'S task is to develop one
good hurler from the other mem
bers of the staff. Berry, who won
16 games and lost 8 for Rochester
in the International League last
season, and Schumacher, late of
st. Lawrence University, are the
brightest prospects of the young
sters. Berly showed promise hold
ing Memphis to one hit in six in
nings on Saturday. Heving prob
ably will again be cast in the role
of O relief hurler.

make the grade, watch out for the
Giants.

GIANTS GAIN
. FAVOR WITH
EXPERTS

With the opening of the base
ball season only eight days away,
there is growing tendency to
regard the New York Giants as
the dark horse of the National
League race.
All spring, Brooklyn, st. Louis
and Chicago have been generally
regarded as equal choices for the
pennant, with New York given
an outside chance to finish on
top. Yet, in exhibition games,
the Giants have made a better
showing than the Cubs and
Pirates. and have done almost
as well as Brooklyn and st.
Louis.
Evenly Balanced Club
The McGraw machine has won
six Of its nine starts against
major league opposition. Outside
of the pitchers, the club has
batted 1861 in these nine games
with the Chicago White SoX.
Apart from statistics, which
cannot be taken too seriously
in the case Of preseason games,
the Giants appear to be an
evenly balanced club. The work
of Johnny Vergez, Oakland re-
cruit, at third base apparently
has solved the infield problem,
and the sensational perform
ance Of Fred LndstrOm in
right field has given the club
the hard-hitting gardener that
it needed to round out the out
field.

ECONOMIC EXPERT SAYS GOOD GOVERNMENT
INCREASES TAKES.

IERE is economic expert who says that honest
! government and efficient administration invariably
result in increased taxes That will be startling statement
to most have given the matter thought Read
what Richard Ely director Of the Institute for Economic
Research and affiliated with Northwestern University, has
to say in article in the Review of Reviews
1T is two hundred years since Montesqueu the French
philosopher from whom the founders of Republic
learned much laid down his maxim: Liberty increases
this is universal rule and it there excep
ton We may add to this: An honest government and
efficient administration increase taxation In the long
this universal rule, and there exception it Pubs
lie expenditures may temporarily down the result
of honest and capable administration of public affairs but
then they mount upward again
"The maxims in the preceding paragraph may seem
paradoxical and especially the second one that honest
government and efficient administration increase taxation
istraton if they could be brought about once would
than others This would happen also in the of
the federal government although the possible margin of
economy is far less than most people think
"The writer would guess that in Chicago all the public
of the city could be performed better than
now giving each taxpayer for the dollar with
reduction of Is per cent in public expenditures history
and the Of the teach that honest and eff
Gent administration in Chicago would strengthen the agu-
for expansion of municipal activities that ex
panson of public expenditures would begin almost at once
and would indefinitely The things that should be
done improve conditions in Chicago innumerabe and

ment for expansion would be irresistible"

WORTHWHILE AND
OTHERWISE, ON MAT
TIERS IMPORTANT and
UNIMPORTANT

AT long intervals this newspaper
likes to talk over with its readers some
production the theatres of the day are
presenting to the public One such
occasion has arrived and the picture
we wish to discuss is Inspiration"
which was shown at the Kootenai
theatre in Libby this week end IF
our memory is not at fault, "Inspira-
ton" was one of the ten best pictures
Of the year in which it was produced
and the great Carlo is said to have
reached the heights of her acting in
this altogether interesting production
We are free to confess that there is
something about Greta CARLOS acting
that grips us and holds our closest at
tention. 1t is not that she is beautiful.
We know that some consider her
marvelously beautiful but at times we
would call her positively homely. Her
style of beauty-if she can be said to
be beautiful--is not the kind that APP
peals to us. She does have, however,
a marvellous voice and she controls
and uses it only as an outstanding
actress knows how to do. That voice
has richness, depth, power, timbre. We
surrnise it has been a potent factor
in placing Carlo in the high rank she
now occupies on the stage. Today she
is at the height of her profession and
the ackle public is paying her tribute,
Will her hold on her public last longer
than few short years. We do not
know but we doubt if it will She
hasn't the finished grace and power
Of Sarah Bernhard and probably to-
morrow some new favorite will crowd
her from her present enviable posi-
ton. But be that as it may, we enjoy
her acting. She is an emotional actress
of no mean talent.
