Baseball men in general haven't hesitated to say that McGraw is making a mistake and claim that the "dog days" of late August will prove it. Their theory is that greyhound in April is often a dasch hund in September- and the history of baseball does not say them nay, In fact,' the general trend of man- agerfal strategy is away from the spring rush, although few have yet begun to put the idea into practice. Ty Cobb, managing a contender in the rival league is one of them. There wasn't a ball tossed in the Tiger camp until March 2 and ths first exhibition game took place as late as March' 20. The, Tigers haven't seen anoher major league club. and won't until some time next week. ' -. ' "Cobb has the right idea," said Stanley Harris when the writer told him about this system of training. Yet it was noted at the time that the Senators were being rushed along aafast as the next, although it must 'he conceded that Harris is letting JoAinson, Ruether, Coveleskie and other veteran pitchers proceed ith their preparations without unT seemly haste.

He then told Mr Powell that he was glad to have him present in order that Re might make -corrections if he cared to do 60. Mr. Holton then entered into a careful explanation of the county, wide tax on'. ts merits. He referred to t"he fact that . the six, months school, term is already supported by a county-wide- tax-ami explained that the eight months term would be on precisely the same basis as the present six months school term.

Many a major league pay check is going to be on the way to Florida shortly after the first and fifteenth of each month this summer. The real estate germ is in, the air and few are Immune. After listen ing to the glib realtor and the im mense profits made, a majority, of the althletes have fallen. They talk money in real estate. The other day while wafchingl the Nef York Giants and Washington Nats in one of their spring games, overheard a very .interesting argument. One fan was a Washington parti san, the other leaned to tne uiants. McGraw's team had won the day previous and was out in front ' in this game. The New York rooter kept drawing comparisons- with the last world series and insisting that luck alone enabled Harris to triumph over McGraw. The argument waxed warm. Fin ally the Washington rooter, unable to listen any further to the New Yorker, remarked 'If the tyelb clubs meet again this fall, I will bet you the 10 acres I bought yesterday against the $1000 option you took on that- city, prop erty, provided you close th deal." teachers were to meet with Mr. Hol ton and had unobtrusively seated himself in the audience. Jfist as Mr. Holton rose to address the teachers, Business Manager Bar bour called his attention to Mr, Pow ell's uninvited presence. Mr. Holton began by stating that the first evident problem facingVthe schools in trying to improve- condi tions through, the. cflity-wide fax was the active oppcMon' of the morning paper. He flftrred to the fact that Mr. Powell was understood to havo been employed for th'e past week and the next four weeks at a reputed -salary: of . $00 per' week to fight the schoojs. ' He told the teach- tax-rate for the eight tnonths term all over the country. Supt.' Frank. M. Martin spoke briefly, following Mr. Holton, em." phasizing the fact that he hoped the teachers would exercise their inde pendent judgment in arriving at a decision upon the county-wide tax. Following Mr. Martinis remarks a round table discussion was held. China's population la about four times that of the United States, ac cording to latest estimates.

A turning point in German history will come to morrow when 30,000,000 Germans of both sxes and over the age of 21 gtr to "the poHsr8- wte- ior a man' to succeed ' President Friederich Ebert, who died recently. r In a history stretching back to the time of the illustrious Caesar the first Kaiser this will be the first time the Teufonlc race has been accord ed the privilege of naming it3 own ruler. There are seven candidates! Otto Braun, former Prussian Pre mier, Social-Democrat. Dr. Heinrich Held,. Bavarian, Pre mier, representing a combination of Bavarian parties. Dr. Willy Hellpach, state president of Baden, Democrat. Dr. Karl Jarres, Lord Mayor of Dueisberg, candidate of the so-called "empire bloc'! representing the Ger man peoples and the German Nation alists parties and other anti-So cialist, anti-Hitlerite parties. General Ludendorff, Hitlerite can didate. Dr. William Marx, Centrist. Ernest Thaelmann, Communist. A canvass tonight forecast the vote would be somewhat as follows: Jarres, 10,200,000; Braun, 8,000,- 000; Marx, 4,100,000; Thaelman, 3, 000.000; Held, 2,400,-ODO; Hellpach, 2.000,000; Ludendorff, 200,000; scat tered, 100,000. Unless one candidate receives to morrow a majority of all the votes cast, another, or final election must be held April 26.

His powers are not so great as those of the president of the United States, jet he has greater power than the president of France. By International Xews Service. KNOXVILLE, Tenn. .March 23. A petition calling for the banning o! Ford automobiles in Tennessee; elimination of flappers, and other modern things, was in circulation to day among students at the Universi ty of Tennessee. It was addressed to "our dear legislators" and gratefully thanks members oJ the Tennessee legislature for their "faithful service to the public that elected them," citing the anti-e-olution measure re cently passed and offers "in all seri ousness and earnestness," the follow ing suggestion-': 1 That the law of gravity be a:::en.Ied. the excessive speed of l.sbt. 3 That it be made laegaj 10 tr.um Fords into Tennessee. 4 That "ps" be changeJ from S.141S to an even three. That it be made illegal to teaca that the vCor'.d is round. 6 That it be made unlawful for alcohol of nicotine to harm the body. 7 That flappers be eliminated. g That morphine be declared nutritious. The petition sarcastically declares that U signers have no idea what amendment should be made to the law of gravity, but insists that It be changed. Referring to the "round world" suggestion, the petitioners declare the "Book of Revelations' mentions the "four corners of the earth which is contestable proof of its flatness."

The nice thing about being a realtor in Florida is that you uon t have tri have a fat bank roll. At least that has been my experience. The idea is to take an option for a very moderate sum. It is possible to open a deal on as low a deposit as five bucks and $25 often gets you into the frenzied finance class. Once you have got an option, it is up to, you by various method's to in duce some one to take the property off your' hands at a price in excess of the figure on which you took it. This form o: doing business has an appeal to the athlete?, who' boast none too fat purses after a long winter in which no checks arrived twice monthly. ' As a matter of fact, options have taken "the" place of base hits vyith some of the athletes. Bill Doak' of Brpoklyn, -for instance, refuses to report .at., a greatly increased salary because he says he can maue moie money in real estate. It is also said that one of the stipulations when Dazzy Vance- sign ed Ids Brooklyn, contract was that Charley Ebbctts would back him in any real estate deal lie made up to a certain amount. .
