HRUTH, crushed to earth, will
rise again. But truth has
| nothing on the unsuppress-

| n
ible Rogers Hornsby.
Let out by Cardinals, Cubs and
Braves from the directing post,
Hornsby again is back under
Missouri skies, where he got his
major league start.
All he now has to do is to get the
Browns out of last place without using
dynamite or a derrick.
1t isn't bad place to start, for his
team can't drop lower without cracking
the laws of gravity, which 50 far have
been pretty substantial.
What is it that Hornsby has that
brings him q new chance after each
dismissal?
In the first place, he knows
base ball. In the second place,
he knows how to handle men
from the rougher side Of leader
ship.
He has studied base ball from
more angles than any one
know. He Is . great believer in
playing the old percentage sys-
tenn, taking his gamble at the
right spot.
He knows a ball player as far as he
can see one. I have heard him call
the turn on youngsters breaking in.
This one will 60 q long way" he would
say. This one won't get anywhere" :"
He seldom has been wrong
He predicted Lon Warneke would be
q star the first time he ever saw him
pitch. Come out and watch this fel-
low" he said one day just after War
neke had broken In. I'll show you one
Of the best pitchers you'll see in long
time"
He isn't any easy-going ruler
He can ride q careless or loafng
athlete as hard as John McGraU
eper could. He is outspoken under
any giUen set OF conditions. He
sdys ,nlsat he thinks-and lets the
sQudiDks fall iOtere they may.
One Of the games greatest natural
hitters few years ago, he is still one
Of base balls most interesting charac-
tiers. They can't yank the headlines
away from him for any length Of time.

yANKS APT TO SEE F..
! STEWART IN FINAL.
Series Delay Gives Hurler
Chance for Second Good
Shot at New York.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

MUSE showers yesterday CIldI
brought about an early
i postponement of the base
ball battle by the Washing
ton club officials, who forgot that
"the game always is on in Griffith
Stadium unless it is raining at
starting time" probably were
blessings in disguise for the Ma
tionals.
What was to have been the sec
ond scrap of the series involving
the league leaders and their most
dangerous rivals, the Yankees,
will now be the fourth, for the
postponement will be played off
Monday. BY that time, perhaps,
Walter Stewart, who so embar-
rassed the New Workers with his
southpaw shoots in Thursdays
tussle, will be ready to give them
another dose of his puzzling
pitching
Manager Joe Cronfn prior to the Sc
ries had prepared a curving card for
only the first three engagements. Al
Crowder, veteran right -hander. and Earl
Whitehill. pretty good at chucking from
the left side, were down to follow Stew
art. But Cronin was getting ready to
r,Hh 10 until Al ty,n for he h
encounter.
1t looks as though yesterdays rain
washed away the Washington man
ayers problem as we'll as the game
however. Crowder was to get his turn
this afternoon, Whitehill will 60 tomor-
row. Which very likely brings up Stew
art for the starting business again.
Walter did a lot of hard hurting In
the series opener and ordinarily would
get four full days of rest after such a
strenuous turn. But for some time he
went to the hill every fourth day for a
start and got along well. With the
league lead at stake in the current Sc
ries. it would not be surprising to see
him pressed into service again before
the Yankees get out of town.
May Also Help Yanks.
~ COuISc, Illc chOcIlSlOl VI LIlc sc.
ries may benefit the Yanks also,
so far as their pitching goes.
Other than Charley Ruffng, Johnny
Allen and Vernon Gomez, the New
Workers have not a particularly hot lot
of hurlers for this all-important set.
Allen was expected to climb the hill
this afternoon. The left-handed Cas-
tilian is the likely choice for the Sun
day set-to. After that. Manager Nc
Csrthy could call on Danny MacFayden,
Walter Brown or Russ Van Alta. But
MacFaydens selection might be regard
ed too much of a risk. He has done
little to recommend his employment
against such an outfit as the Nationals.
Brown has been no shining success.
Van Alta has an uncertain arm, the re-
suit of an injury recently suffered.
So on Monday when Nationals and
Yanks lineup for the final fray OF the
series it might be that the same hurlers
who battled so briskly in the opening
encounter again will be opponents.
Rufing looks a logical choice for a
comeback effort.

FORESTRY INCENDIARIST
is CALLED MEANEST MAN
Twenty Percent of Fires Are
Traceable to IncendiariSm

The incendiarist has been termed
the "Meanest Man" in an article in
the April issue of the forestry News
Letter, and his deeds demand that he
be eliminated from among men OF that
his desires to burn never get beyond
the stage of temptation.
In 1881 incendiarists caused fifteen
percent of all forest fires, and in 1882
their activities increased to 20 per-
cent of the total number.
Forest wardens are requested not
to hire any suspicious or questionable
men to figst fires, who have probably
set the fire in order to get paid for
fighting it.
To Provide Camps
The officials of the Baltimore Office
of the State Department of Forestry
have been called upon to present de-
tailed plans for the use of unemployed
for forestry projects on State forests.
State Forester believes that approx
imately $4,000 acres of State forests
and State game preserves in Garrett
and Allegany counties will provide
sufficient work to warrant the estab-
lishment of three camps of two hun
bred men each. A fourth camp, of
like size, seems possible for Prince
Georges and Charles counties.
The work contemplated includes i'm
provement cuttings, construction and
maintenance of forest roads, forest
trails and fire breaks; white pine bis
ter rust control, lookout tower con-
struction, roadside improvement, rec
rcational developments, water hole
construction, forest planting, bound
airy survey, clearing of streams and
springs, building of telephone lines,
and construction and repair of vari-
Gus buildings.

FURTHER TAX REDUCTIONS
ARE SOUGHT AT NIEETINC|
Taxpayers League, With Less
Than 100 Present, Advocate
AbOlishing Many Offices
WANT VOTE ON BEER BILL

Various tax-reduction proposals for
Garrett county and move to ask the
County Commissioners to call special
election to vote on the beer bill refer
endum, were approved at a meeting
of less than 100 people, held in the
Court House in Oakland last Satur-
day morning.
Resolutions calling for elimination
of appropriations for the health physi-
clan, the two health nurses, the home
demonstration agent, the truant Of
ficer, all grade supervisors but one.
and reduction in appropriations to
incorporated towns of the county of
$100 each, were adopted at the meet
ing.
The separate motions for all these
reductions were made up by William
Miller, chairman, and passed out to
individuals at the meeting, to be read
when called for, and in two instances
the individuals were not able to tell
what they were about. A motion also
was introduced asking that the county
commissioners cease spending money
on county roads until June l, when
the State is to take them over, except
in case Of emergency.
About seventy attended the meet
ing. At the conclusion when only
about fifty were present, w. R. Brown
ing offered a motion to appoint COM
mittee to ask the county commission
ers and the board of election super
visors to call special election to vote
on the beer question. The motion
was carried 81 to 10 after heated
arguments, and Mr.. Browning, Law
renee Fraley, and C. N. McIntire were
named on the committee.
The Legislature passed a bill de-
signed to prohibit beer in Garrett I'M
til the question is submitted at a
referendum to be taken at the next
special or general election.
VIM. Browning, H. ]. Speicher, c.
E. Hardesty, S. T. Brenneman, o. S.
Fike and A. G. Cullers were named to
present all the resolutions to the
County Commissioners and several of
the committee appeared as requested
last Saturday afternoon.
COmmitteeS Named
William Miller, Harvey Speicher,
and VIM. Browning were appointed to
appear before the Board of Education.
George D. Browning, county COM
missioner, asserted at the meeting
that the commissioners were not
bound to accept any of the motions
advocated. Bills passed by the Legis-
lature already have reduced the coun-
ty tax rate approximately $1.0O, it
was estimated. A special election, if
ruled legal by the Attorney-General,
it is believed, would cost the county
in the neighborhood of $4,000. Esti-
mated revenue from beer licenses was
$4,000.
