White Sox in big way. The crowds
are getting larger at the South Side
Park, where there hasn't been much
to cheer about since the balmy days

Hack Wilson as the big base ball

Hitting has been the big difference

been giving the ball merry ride, the
Cubs have been so ineffective that
their high-run score for q single
game Is four-and they lost that

No matter who was right in the melee

many believe that Western will not do
as we'll in the current series as it did
campaign ago, but in Jack Ready,
Ed Loveless and Frank Grimm, Coach
Cliff Moore appears to have trio
of slab artists who are not so bad. One
of the three will start against Tech.
Wood will catch, with Brennan at first
base; Rohrbaugh, second; Corcoran,
shortstop and De Stephen, third. Ed
monston is the only outfielder certain
to start. Kingsley, Brown, Mcpherson
and Grimm are others who may see
action in the garden. The Western
outf1elders have been hitting we'll, but
except Edmonston, none has flelded
satisfactorily

regular at this post last year, Is
apt to find 1t hard to displace him
when and If he becomes eligible, has
been banging the ball with a will. De
Stephen also has been hitting con-
sistently
Little Eddie Turner Is Coach Foxley's
choice to start on the mound against
Western. Little Knocky Thomas will
catch. Ward or Sullivan will be at
first. Freddy Nau at second. Wheeler
or Wilmuth, shortstop. and Williams or
Bohnke at third. Karl Nau, Veirn-
stein and Beach are expected to be in
the outfield. Wheeler, Freddy Nau,
Williams, Beach, Bohnke and Thomas
have displayed batting prowess.

n OSTON, April 27.-Tuesday's

yard between Nationals and
Yankees was no flare-up of any
feud having its origin in the Dickey-

affair died down quickly after Dickey

breaking blow, and Reynolds, Nationals
outfielder, who took it, returned to the
game. This Myer- Chapman scrap Is
something else 1t is strictly private

regarded Myer the toughest base run

Out of the unfortunate affair comes
a measure Of good, however. The fight
ing for the top berth Of the American
League this year will be between three
teams highly geared, the Yankees
Athletics and Senators. Each bitter
toward the other, and each aware that
it must give every ounce Of playing
ability it possesses to clutch the top
and stay there.
But the boys will have to pull thei,
punches-just little.

PENALIzING INNOCENT INVESTORS

You can't have your cake and eat it
industry and expect it to be a progressive
and beneficial factor in national life.
That has been demonstrated in the
case OF the railroads. And it bids fair to
be demonstrated again in the case of the
utilities.
New legislation authorizes gigantic
federal electric depevopments at Muscle
Shoals, to the detriment of thousands of
private citizen stockholders in the utilities
now rendering that area good service. The
existing utilities pioneered electric progress
in that section. They did it with money
people who had faith in the future. Pub
lie regulation already protects the consum-
er and permits investors to earn only rea-
sonable return. Not satisfied with that
the politicians now use the power of the
public treasury to jeopardize not only any
possible profit to innocent investors, but
perhaps their principal as well.
In addition to putting the government
into competition with it's own citizens in a
tax-exempt electric business, the Congress
has also voted to shift the percent cleo
trical sales tax from the consumer to the in
vestor, thus levying penalty against thrift
and enterprise. BY parity of reasoning
it should have made the federal tax on
gasoline percentage of the gross earnings
of the oil companies instead of gallonage
tax to be paid by the consumer.
The least that can be said for this pol
icy toward the utility investor is that it is
not sound economics, nor is it sound gov
ernmental practice. 1t amounts to drying
up the springs whence flow employment,
industrial expansion, progress, and last but
not least, governmental tax revenues. 1t
penalties thrift and rewards prodigality.
And the public can't win under such pol
icy. It's extension undermines the taxable
assets of the nation and adds to the burden
of the remaining taxable property.

A $616,71O WORD

An unusual lawsuit in which $616,750
was involved, and which hinged on the con-
struction to be placed on the single word
whom" was recently decided by the New
York Supreme court, BY the decision 81
charitable and religious institutions will
benefit to the extent of the amount named.
The case arose over the will of Mrs.
Hannah M. Lydig, in which a number of
direct requests were made to persons and
also to Institutions Then it was directed
that after the specific provisions of the
will had been carried out the residue of
her estate was to be divided in the same
proportions among those ito whom / will
and bequest the same"
II was commended by lawyers for the
persu.al heirs that the word whom" could
not apply to corporation or institution,
but only to individuals. Those represent
ing the charities asserted that the word
was not restricted to human beings, and
elaborate briefs were submitted upholding
that view.
The court ruled that under the circum-
stances surrounding the case, and the evil
dent intent of Mrs. Lydig to give the larger
portion of her estate to the institutions
named in her WILL hair-splitting over the
construction of four-letted word would
not be permitted to deprive the charities of
the sum she had left them.
Which seems to have been just and
wise decision by Judge who can take his
grammar or leave it alone.
