of August are not among the most brilliant, as are those We
see in the wintertime, they have a beauty of their own. Now
that il is still warm, but with the sun setting early enough
to bring on darkness considerably sooner than in June.
August makes a particularly good month to get acquainted

HYMN FOR THE TIMES
BY REV. THOMAS TIPLADY
In London

Lord. whom stars and tides obey,
For our Commonwealth we pray
Guard and guide our Chief Of
State
In these hours so great with fate,
To our Congress counsel lend; !,
On Thy strength may it depend
Guard our sailors out at sea,
From all dangers keep them free.
Shield our soldiers as they stand
Guarding Freedoms chosen land;
Bless cur airmen in the sky,
Safe as angels may they fly.
Every nurse and doctor bless
In the hour of toll and stress;
Firemen, watchmen and police,
Grant Thy strength and inward
peace.
On the railroad be as light
To the engine drivers sight;
May each motor driver feel
Thine own hand upon the wheel.
Lord, whom stars and tides obey,
Bring our nation meath Thy sway;
May it seek the light divine,
And obey no will but Thine.

Break With Axis Urged
By Harvard Professor

BOSTON, March 27.-Prof. w.
Barton Leach of the Harvard Law
School asserted last night that "a
serevance of diplomatic relations
with the axis powers" would FORE
stall sabotage in the United States
shipment of aid to Great Britain.
The continued exchange of Am
bassadors and consuls is nothing
but a silly pretense," Prof. Leach
said, in an address at the annual
dinner of the Tufts College Medical
School Alumni Association.
In my judgment" he declared,
@the United States must undertake
to some extent to convoy its own
ships to England"
Against the need of seeing that
the munitions and equipment reach
the shores of England" there exists
very grave" danger of sabotage,
~organized and financed by the en-
baSsies and consulates of the axis
In this country" he said, adding
THAT Is the necessary deduction
from the history of sabotage be-
tween 1915 and 1917 ="
This is not war. Diplomatic re-
Iations are frequently severed with

Jail here today as State and Fedora
officers investigated the strange
story of a 33-year- old mother that
she and her four children were KEEP
in virtual servitude for more than 6
year on an island.
The case came to light last nigh,
with the filing of kidnap charges
against Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph w
Walker, middle-aged sharecroppers
OF Pearl River County, after officers
had rescued Mrs. Cora Lee Davis
and three of her children from Cow

northwest of here, recovering from
the birth of her fifth child in a
Memphis hospital about two weeks
ago. The Davis children also were
in Columbia.
Forced to Live With Walkers.
The story as reconstructed by
Sheriff o. j. FoXWorth of Marion
County Miss, and his deputy. Henry
Counts, from statements of Mrs.
Davis and her 16-year- old son,
Adolph, follows:
Shortly after her husband, a w. P
A. worker, died in July, 1899, Mrs
Davis and her children were forced
to move into the nearby Walker
home under threat of death.
After moving to Simpson County
near Mendenhall, Miss, the Walkers
were ordered into court by Chancel-
lor Ben Stevens on charges of abuS-
ing the Davis children, but the en-
tire group fled to Cow Island.
For more than year the DaviSes
were kept on the island in virtual
slavery, the officers charged, until
Adolph was able to make his escape
when Walker took his mother to a
&s1SIlk}I1AS 11OSkJlldl several weeks ago.
Sheriff Files Charges.
The youth made his way to Baton
Rouse, La, where he told officers of
his family's plight.
A group of officers from Tennessee
and Mississippi went to Cow Island
Tuesday, using horse-drawn
wagon and a boat to negotiate the
last Is miles. The Davis and Walker
families were brought to South Mis-
sisSippi, where Sheriff Enoch Seal of
Pearl River County lodged the kid
naping charges.
Sheriff Seal said representatives of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation
had joined in the investigation.
The officers were reticent regard
ing the alleged servitude to which
the Davis family was subjected, but
said they planned to question the
Walkers further today.
Sheriff Seal said neither had made
a statement up until last night.

It has rem aimed for Ford Frick, one
of the best officials baseball ever
knew, to supply the correct answers.
It was no easy job since President
Frick had to look back through the
lifetime careers of a long, long list.
happened to be with Bill Dickey,
Joe Gordon and Red Rolfe when
Ford put on his quiz-and none of
us came within brassie distance of
hitting the target.
Average Playing Lifetime
"There have been leaguers who
knew only one year of service"
Frick said. "There have been 9TH
erS, such as Ty Cobb, Pop Arson
and Jack Quinn, who hung on for
nearly Is years. But in adding up
all the figures I discovered the
average big league players career
is just 81a years.
"Those who passed the 20-year
mark include Cobb, Arson, Wagner,
Ruth, Lajoie, Quinn, Speaker, Cy
Young, and few more. But the av-
erage span is 81S seasons"
This was a trifie astonishing to
Messrs. Dickey, Gordon and Rolfe,
who had guessed from four to six
years.
Question No. 2 is-"How much do
ball players collect, on an average,
through their playing careers?"
Mr.. Frick had the answer to this.
"The amount" he said, "is $780,
600. This would mean around
$4,000 year. Salaries have
ranged from $4,000 to Babe Ruth's
$50, 00O-and it was Babe Ruth who
lifted the average far above old
levels.
'tThis mark is well above what it
was 10 years ago. It is far above
what it was 20 years ago."
Holdouts of 1910
I recall over 80 years ago when
Larry Lajoie and Ed Delehanty, two
of the greatest of all time, were
offered contracts for $500 and held
out for $4,000. And they were both
around the 400 class.
The largest salary ChrlSty Math.
ewson ever drew was S12 ,50O-when
he was winning from 80 to IS games
a year.
The highest paid men today in
clude Hank Greenberg, Bob Teller,
Buck Newsom and Joe DiMaggio.
Their average is above $4,000.
Until Ford Frick dug up the gen.
eral average, doubt that anyone
ever guessed that an 81z-year ball
! player would collect $120,00 for his
work.
The highest payroIls today belong
to the Yankees, Tigers and Red Sox.
All three have such headliners as
Greenberg, DiMaggio, Newsom,
Dickey, Gehringer, Fox, Grove,
Williams, Ruffing and Gordon, who
are all in the higher brackets.

sis that most of the higher salaries

Third question: How long does
it take to turn minor Lacquer into a

in terms of the average.

the pitchers. 1t takes the pitchers

first minor league start until the
player is ready for big league job.
Many, of course, have come along
in year or two. A few have broken
in directly from college play or
sandlot- play. Others have taken six
or seven years-or even longer-be-
fore they arrived with the right
equipment.
''But a thorough search and study

"Just why it should take the pitch

But it does. Control plays a big
part here. Many husky young

might want in the way of speed and
curves. But the toughest job is put

Control means a lot more than
merely splitting the plate. A good
