What's What

Postmasterships May Fall
Permanently to
Democrats.
BY PAUL MALLON.


THIS move to put all postmasters
under the Civil Service has more
behind it than meets the naked
/ eye.
Such a step was badly needed
at this time to kill off whispered
story going around the country that the
Democrats at last were ready to throw
the Republicans out Of the post omces
with a vengeance-that the spolls sys-
tenn was to be restored.
II did not take Postmaster General
Farley long to hear about 1t.
Hot denials were issued by Mr..
Farlep The whispered story. ho,D-
eper. ,cas nowhere publicly printed,
so no one except the insiders kneD
phot the Postmaster General pas
shooting at and his denidls did not
attract much attention. Something
else uas necessary.
The new postmaster movement filled
the bill better than you would ever
suspect.
It may be true that it takes politics
out of the post office as much as 1t can
be pending an administration oy
angels. But there is more to 1t than
that. What it will do first Is to take
Republicans out of the post ONCE and
put Civil Service Democrats in.
See Permanent Appointments.
Also it will put the Democrats In
permanently. The next Republican ad-
ministration, if there is ever one. must
change the Civil Service law to get
them out.

state board Of control.
The Braves, however, saw no need
of apologizing for the play of Frank
Stumpf, who took Charbonneau's
place at the last minute. Stumpf
scored only three points but he was
vital cog in the Mandan attack.
Charbonneau was ruled out on the
grounds that this is his fifth year of
basketball. He played three years
at jamestown high school and last
year was at the state training school
in Mandan, where he played on the
team at that institution. This year
he entered Mandan high school and
was permitted to play by Mandan
authorities, who were under the I'M
preston that Charbonneaus basket
ball at the training school did not
constitute a year of high school play.

Hornsby, they may contribute an
other sensational chapter to the Ma
tional Leagues book Of pennant

: Only once in the four recent years
in which they finished at the top were
the Red Birds favorites beforehand.
Due to the big shake-up begun after
their 1881 world series victory and
consequent difficulties, many Of them
still existing. in trying to make the

Cardinals this year has been lacking.
They were sixth last year but the
elements OF a winner now are going
through the PAGES at Bradenton, Fla,
il only Sergeant "Gabby" Street and
his corporals can fuse them.
The Cardinals, thanks to their
chain-store system and smart trading,
have q wealth of young, brilliant
pitching talent. Dean, Derringer,
Carleton, with the veteran Jesse
Haines, for right-handed service, and
Walker, Hallahan and Mooney, heav-

of the strongest staffs in the league.

by the veteran Bob O'Farrell, one.

terry department leaves nothing to be
desired. Dazzy Vance has signed but
he may be traded to the Giants. But
from there on the story becomes more
complicated.

that the infield will start the season
with Jimmy Collins on first, Hornsby
at second, Gordon Slade or Charley
Wilson at short, and Frisch on third.
