SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
IN T0DAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE


NEW YORK. March 8: It's
like driving past a red light, this
business of picking the Yankees to
take the Athletics in the American
this year. It's lots of fun but try
to find an excuse for it when the
guy taps you on the shoulder and
demands How come?'
The tipoff on how illogical the
naming of the Yankees is comes
when you start trying to explain
your choice. For your first SEN
tence must necessarily start with
those apologize words well, if
=" Granted that if Cros-
etti and Saltzgayer play 100000
worth of baseball, if Allen and
Rhodes or a couple of other young
pitchers come through, if Henry
johnson finally crashes in on the
stuff he's got, if Ben Chapman i'm
proves as much as he did in 1881,
if, If, if, the Yanks will win.
But if a man wants to if in a
big manner why not if about club
that'll make him hero if the ifs
work out? What I mean is that
if a chappie picks the Browns or
Red Sox he'll really get some credit
if the iowly ones ride home in
front
And why shouldn't the Browns
or Red SoX problematicals come
through just as we'll as those Of the
Yanks? Every rookie is a poten-
tial Cobb, Speaker, johnson or
Matty, whether he be garbed in
the flannelS of the RUPERT rifle
men or the Phil Ball bombardiers.
That leads us to the Athletics,
the club you don't have to if. This
bunch is a known quantity. Mister
Mack can tell you right now what
he's got, no if, ands and butts
about it. He has three pitchers
who'll win 70 or more games while
osing less than a third that num-
ler. He has a trio of not cha cha
luggers, one of whom is the best
atcher in the racket. And the
EST do their work we'll, if not bril-
antly. OF course, they'll tell you

LIQUOR and Driving

One of those fine distinctions that
judges occasionally can draw seems
to have been produced by New York
court the other day, which held that
man can be under the influence of
liquor without being actually intoxi-
Gated.
This ruling came in the case of a
man who, having been convicted of
driving his auto while under the in
fluence Of liquor, was deprived of his
drivers license-the official who re-
voked the license having felt, appar-
emily, that being under the influence
is practically the same as being in
toxicated.
Now, however, the court rules that
there is a distinction. And there u1i-
doubleday is one, too; but whether
the distinction ought to be made in
the case Of man behind the steer
ing wheel of an automobile may be a
question. An automobile driver ought
never to be anything but cold sober.
A very slight alcoholic dimming of
his faculties can be enough to cause
a disaster.

The Walls Of Jericho

When the Israelites marched round
about the walls of Jericho and blew
Justify upon their rams horn trum-
pets, the ramparts eventually fell be-
fore the blast. The same result has
been attained by the hue and cry
raised by the throng of North Da-
kota taxpayers.
The evidence lies in the statement
of tax levies for 1882 as compiled by
the state tax commissioner. OF all
the states taxing districts only few
show increases. OF the five major
of tax-spending organ
izations only one, the state govern
ment, shows an increase. Officials
OF the towns and cities, townships,
counties and school districts have
taken to cover and have reduced ex-
penses. The initial step in the fight
for economy in government has been
successful. The citadel of the state
government will be an easy capture,
for no officeholder with any sense of
his own interests is going to defend
the walls Of the political Jericho in
face of the attack which is being
made upon them by the taxpayers.
