FETTE
Bees Veteran
Senior Loop
M0undACe

NEW YORK, July 15.-some
rookies-like 18-year-old BOZ
Teller of the Cleveland Indians
ride into the major leagues on
q million-dollar wave of publicity
OtherS-like 30-year-old Lou
Fette of the Boston Bees-slip
in the leagues back door with
hardly dimes worth of ballyhoo.
But, where a sore arm has kept
the youthful Teller from living up
to his advance notices as he I'm
doubtedly will eventually, the
older Fette today is the real
leader of the National League
pitching brigade with a record OF
10 won and 3 lost.
"And," says Bill McKechnie,
manager of the Bees, "Fette is
the prize rookie of the year. If
he had had a hard-hitting club
like the Pirates, Cards or Cubs
behind him, he wouldn't have
lost more than one game all
year.
GOT EVERYTHING"
"Fette's got everything. He's
got q fine assortment of stuff
and while he isn't a speed mer-
chant like Dizzy Dean or Van
Mungo, he's fast enough. He's
got q swell fork ball, a fine
change of pace and perfect con-
troll. And what's more ne knows
how to pitch to spots. wouldn't
trade him even up for some Of
the SO-called million dollar
pitchers.
"He's one Of the toughest birds
to score on / ever saw. The
Phillies couldn't do 1t in 13 in
nings Sunday and he beat them
1 to 0. That's another thing 1
like about him-plentv Of heart
and the tip-Off on that is he's
been in five extra inning games
and won them all. And he's
pitched four Shut-Outs and three
One-run games for me. If that
INT real pitching, I don't know
what is"
McKechnie, who is without a
peer as a developer of pitchers.
says Fette always could pitch and
he is puzzled over the fact that
Fette managed to knock around
the minors for 10 years without
being picked up by a major league
team.
Has Right Answer
But the tall, blond, 200-pound
right handler from Alma, Mo-, has
the answer to that one and here
it is:
'The Red Sox tried to buy me
for $4,000 when / was with
Pueblo in 1928. Later when /
was pitching for Kansas City
more offers were made for me
but sOmewhO they never would
sell me. 1t wasn't until after 1
had won Is games for st. Paul
last year that the Bees stepped
in and rescued me-"
Rescued?
Sure" he grinned, ''it's much
nicer pitching up here and in a
way it's easier because you get
better support. 1t would be
easier still if there were no Arky
VaughanS around. As far as I'm
concerned, he's the toughest hit
ter in the league"
Fette thinks the major league
scouts may be overlooking some
pitchers, now in the minors, who
might win in the majors. The
scouts probably will land them
eventually and, as Fette says,

higher-grade cigarette in which most
of the American flue-cured leaf is us
ed, is much greater than the increase
on the lower grades.
Federal taxes on cigarettes first
were imposed in China in 1928, at
which time the previously-existing
provincial taxes were consolidated
and unified in to a national system
Since that time, the tax schedule has
been revised several times, usually
upward. The new tax rates, effective
April 5, like those previously in eff
feet, vary in accordance with the
value of the cigarettes.
Under the tax schedule, effective
from December, 1888, to April 4, 1897,
all manufactured cigarettes valued at
less than 3O1 yuan ($88.43) per case
of $4,000 cigarettes, were subject to a
tax of 80 yuan ($23.5O while those
valued at 301 yuan ($8S.43) or more
per case were taxed at $50 yuan
($4701).
Under the new schedule those val
ued at 200 yuan ($58.76) or lower per
case are taxed 100 guam ($29.38) per
case; those valued at POI to 400 yuan
($59.O5 to $117.52) per case, are taxed
200 yuan $3.50; those valued at 4O1
to 800 yuan ($117.81 to $235.O4) pay
400 yuan ($117.52) per case. while
those valued above 800 yuan ($235.O4)
pay a tax of 800 guam ($235.OO per

and educators who for years are con-
coded to have controlled the policies
of the North Carolina Education AS

vice presidency are also using the
geographical argument and are point
ing out that the eastern part of the
State has had only one president with
in the last eleven years, while Gull
ford county has had four presidents
within that period.
The only superintendent from an
eastern city or county who has been
president of the N. G. Education AS
ISOLATION in more than ten years, was
Superintendent w. A. Graham, of the
Kinston schools, who was president of
the association in 1886, it is pointed
out, while since that time the late T.
Wingate Andrews of High FONT;
John H. Cook, of the Women's Col
lege, and Guy Phillips, both of Green's

county and one from a neighbOring
county within less than ten years.
This is one reason the teachers and
superintendents from most of the
eastern cities and counties are said
to be lining up almost solidly behind
Rose for vice president, since they be-
lieve that Guilford county and the
Piedmont have had the presidency of
the association long enough, even
though they have no personal objec-
lions to Smith.
Liberalism Expressive.
There is another factor in the con-

the geographical factor, however, it.
is agreed in, educational circles here.
That is the increasing dissatisfaction
that has been growing up among the
classroom teachers, principals and
many of the younger and more liberal
superintendents, with the manner in
which the educational. association has
been run and with it's policies during
the last three or four years. They
frankly feel that the association has
been and still is too much concerned
with the personal welfare and poll
tical ambitions of a small group of
superintendents and politicians in the
"inner circle" of the association, and
not enough with the welfare of the
schools. the school children and the
teachers. Many of these are still re-
membering the more than $4,000
which the association spent for lob

more than it helped them. They want
to elect a vice president this time who
will endeavor to bring about a new
deal in the association, instead of a
raw deal.
Supporting Rose.
Nor is there any doubt but that
most of this group are now actively
supporting Rose for the vice presi-
dency of the association, rather than
Smith. For they feel that Smith is toe
closely associated with Guy Phillips
whom he succeeded as superintendent
in Greensboro and others of the old
Phillips bloc, who are conceded to
have run the association with almost
dictatorial precision for several years
However, there is no discounting the
fact that Smith has very powerful
support and that hundreds of letter:
are being sent out in his behalf. So il
is going to be close fight.

though it is known that both F. Webb
