Since COTTON John" Bank
head worked for two sessions
to secure enactment of his cot
ton control bill, his conStitu-
ents in and around his home
State have been none too
pleased. They we're not enthu-
siaStic about the act before it
was adopted. and after they
witnessed its operation they
were less in favor of it and
much less in favor of its au-
thor.
Small growers were particu-
Iarly displeased and cOnse-
quentIy will be the first to bene-
fit by eased restrictions.
And by the time 1887 rolls
around Mr.. Bankhead will find
that the Chief Executive grant
ed him a tremendous favor by
slackening the taut regulations.
In his announcement, Presi-
dent Roosevelt indicated that
he had no intention of apply
ing the Bankhead formula to
wheat and corn.
There is little doubt, hoUeUer,
that after easing restrictions on
cotton the Administration 1Oiu
be besieged By demands for
less rigid RECOMMENDATION OF
those tWo products.
Small growers of the two i'm
portant farm products have ap-
pealed for easement of the crop
control plan. But they have
finally realized that their ap-
pealS were falling on the deaf
ears of the AAA and the Depart
ment of Agriculture secretary.
Mr.. Roosevelt, however. now
comes out with the plan to ease
restrictions on small cotton
growers. And his AdminiStra-
ton will again hear the appeals
of producers of other cOmmOdi-
ties.

Hundreds of local bowlers were

leagues last week, but none were
able to crack open that golden
egg"-a TOO total. Two individuals

southpawing them in great style in
the weekly session of the Uptown

Ollie Krebs was in the pocket dur
ing the Printing Crafts schedule on
Thursday night. KrebS closed his
evenings work with 287 game, the
best single game of the season in
league competition. Rudy Boes-
necker, who has a string of COOS to
his credit, was third in line in in
dividual scoring for the week when
he stopped on $40 in the Universal
League. Charlie Tyner collected a
500 in the Indianapolis Star League
and Billie Behrens a 668 in the
Evangelical loop. Eddie Ten Eyck
enjoyed week of high scoring when
he smacked out q 661 in the Della

Red Birds to Send HeuSSer
Against Leafs After
1919 Setback.

By United Press
COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 8.-The Co.
lumbus Red Birds, champions Of
the American Association, expected
to send HeuSser to the mound to-
night in an attempt to break q
three-au deadlock with the Toronto
Maple Leafs Of the International
League in their little world series :"
Torontos Leafs, who evened up
the count by scoring their third vic
tory yesterday. 19 to 8, were ex-
pected to pitch Don Brennan. Five
victories out of possible nine
games decides the series.
The Leafs collected twenty-one
hits for thirty-two total bases last
night and were aided by five Column
bus errors, wild pitch and a passed
ball.
George McQuinn, Leafs first base
man, suffered a fractured ankle as
he attempted to slide into third
base. Lineup and score:

ly outmarveled the wonder man
from Texas and the journeyman
continued to pull away in front Of
the master in the Tigers sixth.
This was the spot where Geh-
ringer led off with a home run
which cleared the roof of the right
pavilion. Brother Dizzy's noncha-
lance seemed mistaken just then.
But he was unable to conceal some
little embarrassment when Goslin
drove a tremendous fly to left. They
were hitting the ball hard. Rogell
followed with an impudent scam
per to third as Chick Fullis missed
his long single to center. It was an
error for Fullis. Rogell scored on
Greenberg'S fly to deep right.
De Lancey WaIlops Homer
Bridges had two out and two
strikes on De Lancey when he hit
his home run over the right field
roof in the seventh. The garrulouS
Mr.. Walker, of the Tigers, fell
abruptly silent just here and mod
estly covered his face with his black
cap while De Lancey logged around
the block. The Cardinals one run
looked very scrawny on the score
board compared with the Tigers
three.
Dizzy stood off his fate until the
eighth when he was taken out for
a pinch hitter by the name Of CraW-
ford. There was a runner on first
and there now ensued the most try
ing moments of the game for
Bridges. Crawford hit a hard fly to
right. The Tigers rallied around
their common man. He seemed ner-
vous. He might have lost his game
just here but for the cooperation Of
Jo-Jo White in center field. Jo-Jo
brought the attendance up in a
complete other when he sprinted
fifty yards to capture Pepper Mar
tins mighty smash close to the wall
in left center.
That broke the attack. The side
expired on Rothrock's infield out.
Tommy turned it on a final time in
the ninth. FriSch and Collins were
on with one man down. The man
at bat was De Lancey, the same who
had hit the home run two innings
back. De Lancey struck out and the
victory went into the books when
Orsatti forced Collins.
Brother Dizzy was very game
athlete to put on his flannels at all
so soon after his accident. 1t was
his painful luck to meet a fellow
who could call him and raise him a
little on every challenge on the
game. He could have quit the series
with Justification, but Dizzy is a
Dragging man, even with a door,
knob sprouting on his head from a
blow that knocked him cold the day
before.
The astonishing thing about
Tommy Bridges work was the speed
with which a man who stands only
five feet ten and weighs 100 pounds
out-swatted a giant of six feet three
whose fondest boast is speed.
