THE AAA BRINGS NO
CHEERS HERE

From P. F.
Well, I see that the farmers have
again taken the pauper's oath. All
they have to do now is do nothing;
the poor consumer will raise the
money with which to pay them for
doing nothing and in addition will
pay higher prices for the food he
eats.
The AAA officials, headed by
Roosevelt himself, say that the scar
city was caused by the drought, not
the slaughter of pigs and the p,ow-
ing under of grain.
T had $500 dollars. spent 500 in
riotous living; then a thief stole IS
of the $40 I had left. Then my
creditors came and demanded their
money and I told them that could
not pay them because thief had
robbed me.
Just as much sense to this as in
saying that the drought, not the
slaughter and blowing under, has
caused the scarcity of pork and
grain.
If the farmer is getting a raw deal
from the tariff, why don't they
change it? Why should ore class of
citizens be doubly taxed to help the
farmer or eny other class of citizens?
Don't talk about the morale of the
men on relief; the farmers morale
also is shot when he demands from
the government something for which
he did not work. Let's all take the
pauper'S oath now.

YES, THE BASTILE CAN
CURE SOME SINS

By H. T. X.
Can driving be made safer by good
policing? Some seem to despair of
improvement. Yet when the police
of Pittsburgh received orders to
take drunken offenders to the sta
ton and lock them up, regardless
of their social or political connec-
tons, there was a sharp drop in
accidents.
Two socialites got a taste Of
prison, one a man, the other a
woman.
Formerly, a summons to appear
was considered sufficient. Now,
when offenders know they will be
locked up, pending release on bail,
they are more careful.
Every city has group Of people
who carry sheriff's or police chiefs
courtesy" cards and feel they thus
gain immunity. BY treating all alike
and with enough severity, police can
make the streets safer.

Four tournaments have been ar
ranged for the c. U. fencers as
follows: Saturday, Johns Hop
kins, at C. u; February 9, v. M.
l., at Lexington; February 16,
William and Mary, at Williams
burg; and February %, Baltimore
"Y," at C. U.
Among those participating in
the sport at C. U. are A. Goenner,
who seems destined to win the
preseason university champion
ship: Rozycki, Suite, Godfrey,
Wildt and Mcdonald. From these
men, C. us intercollegiate COM
petitive team will be selected.
FOilS Only
Although C. U. fully expects to
have a sabre and epee team be-
fore the end of the present season,
the Johns Hopkins meet will be
decided with foils only.
Fencing is one of the youngest
of college pastimes and is hailed
by its advocates and devotees as
sure to be a major sport within
the decade. Today the 1ntercol-
legiate Fencing Association in
cludes IS colleges and universities.
The association conducts inter
collegiate championships during
the Easter holiday period each
year.
Fencing is a sport in many col
leges not members of the associa-
ton. For instance, in this vicinity,
in addition to c. U. and Johns
Hopkins, among those having
fencing teams are Baltimore City
College, st. Johns of Annapolis,
v. M. I. and William and Mary.
Every school in the Big Ten
(Western Conference) has a fenc-
ing team. The sport is extremely
popular on the Pacific Coast.
Fencing on this side of the At
lantic first became popularity
known along about 1900. under
the famous Italian master, Eu-
gene PM, in the Argentine, and
under the noted French master,
Merignac, in Mexico. Great prog

Yes, sir, that's the picture to-
day as the Old Fox packs his
trunks and gets ready to go
South on a vacation. Griff def
initely has gone into the field
and bought himself couple of
minor league ball clubs. He plans
to gain a few more until he steps
right up along with Sam Breadon,
the greatest chain clanker of
them all; Tom Yawkey, the be-
neficent tyrant Of Boston and
Col. Jake Ice Water) Rupert,
who can't begin to count his
minor league interests, so rich
and so many are they.
Griffith has acquired control
of the Selma, Alabama club in
the Southeastern League, a Glass
C outfit; and the Panama City,
Alamaba Club Of the Georgia
Alabama League, a Class D Or
ganization. Joe Engel, Griffith's
representative at Chattanooga in
the Southern League, Glass A
loop was the purchasing agent.
The Senators also control the
Albany Senators in the Interna-
tional League, a Double A loop.
More Clubs
Griffith plans to acquire a
Class B league team somewhere
to extend his alphabet a bit
farther. BY getting a class B
club he can start with all types
of players and develop them in
the hope Of acquiring another
Walter johnson or another Joe
Cronin. The latter would be
more preferable, no doubt.
It was with part Of that famous
$250,00O obtained from Boston
for Joe Cronin that Griffith went
out and increased his holdings.
Griff has always opposed the
chain stores and their workings,
but scruples must be waived in
the face Of necessity.
Griffith saw Sam Breadon ride
to glory via the baseball chain
store. Griffith and the rest Of the
world saw the Cardinal owner
rise to a position where he domi-
mates the National League. Per
haps he can compete on nearly
even terms with Yawkey and
Rupert. of the American League,

FEB. "a

The 1885 baseball season will be-
gin early for the Griffmen this
year, as President Clark Griffith
has decided to shoot small army
of young pitchers and catchers to
the Biloxi training camp, Febru-
ary "a.
Only the greenest collection of
battery men will gather for these
workouts, but it is Griff's idea to
get a thorough line on them be-
fore the veteran pitchers, catcherS,
infielders, and outfielders report
to camp.
The vet pitchers and catchers
will report March /. The camp
will be complete with players by
March 10, when the infielders and
outfielders will have checked in.
Those who will make up the
"rookie" contingent are Orville
Armbrust and Sid Cohen. the
Chattanooga hurlers; Riggs Diggs,
Archie Scrivener and Dick Lana
han, local sandlotters; Francis
Pepicolas, Chicago semi-pro; +;

league clubs, it is likely that
Griffith did not drain his Golfers
too greatly. Recently the Boston
Red Sox bought the Charlotte
club for a few thousand dollars,
and price range should be about
the same in comparable circuits.
Still Has Money
Griffith still has plenty Of
money to purchase outstanding
ball players in the American
League. It is up to him to get
a pitcher or two, for washington
fans will not be willing to wait
until some of his buShers show
sufficient class to make the grade
in the big leagues.
We have a rather unusual
situation created by this pur-
chase of minor league clubs. Griff
thinks its wrong for a major
league club to grab off a string
of minor wheel outfits. He
condemned Breadon. But as said
before, he has to protect himself
at this time.

Not only does the New York

to surrender, it refuses to learn. A

ate this fact, someone should wise

chance of the Illinois State Ath.

ruling of the Gotham board. And
this, of course, will aid greatly in
making Chicago the boxing capital
Of the country. 1t is close to
that now.
Business Picking Up
Speaking III general, the beak
busting trade is picking up around
the country. John Henry Lewis
fights Bob Olin in Madison
Square Garden tomorrow night.
This Lewis is the boy whom
Dempsey picked as the best
fighter he had seen on one Of
his refereeing trips. The title will
not be at stake when Lewis crawlS

Marching along with John
Henry Lewis in his rise, is Joe
Louis, the Negro heavyweight who
is knocking his opponents bow
legged around the Middle west.
Louis IS regarded right now as
sure hit opponent for Max Baer
within the year, and there's little
chance of the champion drawing
the color line if the purse ar
rangemcnts are to his liking.
If Louis goes along without
serious reverses, he is going to
