New York, Oct, 24-Someone sug. gested Raymond Harry Dumont for the Brooklyn job,
 If they were seeking @ man to follow in the footsteps of Lieut. Col. Larry MacPhail, the Dodger directors could have done worse than engage Ray Dumont.
 Mickey Mcconnell, head of the FlathuSh farm system under Mac Phail for three years, started his baseball careed as secretary ot Dumont's infant National Semt-pro Baseball Congress in 1886. He man aged to survive seven years under baseball,s screwballs, tells you Du- mont matches MacPhail as a show man-and then some.
 A pneumatic duster eliminates the umpire's whiskbroom in Dumont'S Kansas State and National Semi- Pro tournaments in Wichita, The umpire places his foot on a lever and compressed air does the work.
 Dumont's umpires are attired In evening clothes at night One night it's a brown coat, black trousers and white shoes. The next evening it's a different ensemble. Umpires dress according to the weather and size of the crowds.
 An automatic jack-in- -the-hoX microphone near the plate min imizes arguments between players mad umpires. Again the umpire has only to step on a lever. The micro phone is hooked up with the loud- speaking system. Fans pay hoping to hear uncerfsored words coming from an irate athlete, which Is pre- ciSely what the player is afraid of Dumont believes in putting the game smack dab in the specttor's lap.
 Dumont,s scorenoard has its fig ures in neon lights. The semi-pro presidents other exerpiments, many of which didn't prove so hot, includ- ed playing Q nocturnal game with. out lights with phosphorus bat, ball and other illuminated equipment.
 Dumont never stopped thinking and acting in building the National Semi Pro Baseball Congress from l6 affiliated teams in 1885 to an esti- mated 10000 in '43.
 Asked what his first move would be if he landed the Flatbush berth, Dumont lost no time h replying "One day a week I'd have those in- credible Brooklyn fans on the field and the players in the stands. What crowd that would drawl"
 Smart man, Ray Dumont.
 Back in the good old days when the left-halfback used to run around right end for 10 yards in- stead of the No. or tailback slic- ing into the tertiary for for the same, this would have evoked quite stir. Tn ceason when ridiculous football nomenclature is rampant. 1t has created harly ripple.

 One of the organizers of the team was Lieut.. E. s. Lott, who played at Columbia in the '20s, Despite his s7 years, he holds down tackle berth,

sy, died from exposure last Mon
day night before he reached his
home. According to reports re-

his way home from Haysi thru
the heavy snowfall. He was found
beside the road next morning by
a searching party. Funeral SER
vices were held at the home on
Wednesday. A son who attends
Haysi high school did not hear
of his fathers death until today
due to the fact that news could
not reach him as a result of the
impossible condition of the road
Mr.. Epling had been confined in
a hospital until a short time ago
as the result of injuries received
in an automobile wreck and his
weakened condition was probab-
ly the cause of his death.

A CORRECTION

In our account Of the death of
Mrs. Dussie Haynes Mullins of
Freezing, who died at Catawba
Santorium last week, it was in
advertently stated that she died
Tuesday night, and that funeral
services were conducted by Ed
er E8rl Mullins. AS a matter of
fact, she passed away Monday
night. and funeral services were
conducted by Elders Bill Willis
and James Wright.
We are advised that her suit
case. returned with the body
from Catawba, contained certi
ficate that she was baptised by a
minister at CGtawba shortly be-
fore her death. A rather pathetic
and inspiring picture of a young
woman who had never before
been but a few miles from home,
passing her last days among
strangers and in her las days
embracing religious faith and
seeking solace in baptism.
