Unexpected high- er.quotations at Liverpool and a big decrease of the amount of wheat on ocean passage had much to do with the advance. The United States vi sible wheat supply decrensed 4,035,- ;000 bushels and export sales from Yanks, opposing the Athletics, were of the’ opifiion that Cobb had slowed up too much to dabble inj {the bunting business.

He attributes much of the marvel- ous success he has attained to its workings. The day after the opener, bumping into Cobb as he came on the field, he rked to me: I'm pounds lighter than I have been! in years for so early in the spring.” I agreed with Cobb that physically he certainly looked great and assured him that if he felt as well as he/ looked he would surprise a lot of the| folks before the season was over. | Going back to the opening day/ game, I told him that I guessed he surprised everybody in the ball park! with his bunt, as well as his going from first to third on a short single. I asked him if it wasn’t a little early! to be pulling such strenuous stuff. * Cobb’s reply made it apparent just how he works the power of psychol- ogy over the opposition in helping} his general play. ¥ | Believes in Worrying Opposition “There was a method in my mad- ness in pulling those two plays,” said . “I did it almost entirely for hological effect on the op- lizing every one, particularly opposing players, were much inter- ested in my physical condition, I was | base running of the ath- this respect the Detroit An hour or more in learning the} ‘3 ne of the many on the seck to Son ue de- runner, he C but was In 1919 Baseball Umpire Is Arrested on Assault Charge: Indianapolis, April 25.—()\—G._L.!

In other words, I was desirous of still creating a certain fear in the opposition over my pres- ence in the game. “T felt that if I couid lay down a perfect bunt and beat it out, also take an extra base on a play that seemed rather foolhardy, it would make the boys feel that I still ecar- ried a threat at the bat and on the bases. “When I was at the top of my t/pame it was the fear the opposing ¢ lubs had for me, aside from the abil- ity I possessed, that made me so dangerous. The opposition was al- ways hurrying, when I was on the bases, while the pitchers worked too fine when I was at the bat and I benefited greatly thereby. “My opening day stunts were done in the name of psychology.” There you have some very sub- stantial evidence why Ty Cobb is erally considered the greatest ball player of all time. New Equipment For Farm Loan Handling Has Been Installed A new set of records and equip- ment, which it is claimed wilk in- crease efficiency in handling of farm loans, has been installed by the state treasurer's office. The new system will be in. full operation May 1 and it is claimed that it will make the possibility of error in handling accounts practic- ally impossible. It replaces the pres- ent system of handling loans, which the treasurer’s office claims is high- ly inadequate for efficient manage- ment of the large loaning business now done by the state through the land commission department, Although there has been a large increase in the amount of business done by this department, no em- Floyes have been added, according to the treasurer's office, With the new system in operation it is claimed the same force should be able to handle all the new loans which will be made in the near future without additional help, Health Leaders Plan Radio Talks Ellendale, N.

The first act shows a colorful ( scene at night. Bathed in the Max- field Parrish blue of the desert, the towers and minarets of the mosques are dimly outlined in the misty dis- tance. Weird cries resound in the streets below where a British regi- ment is assembling for its long trek through the burning sands. The last two acts show Abd el Rey's pulat tent-home in an oasis in the desert. Gorgeous stuffs bedeck the interior of the tent; gilded ornaments and lamps hang from the tent poles and many hued rugs and cushions adorn the sumptuous desert home of the famous bandit. The production is beautifully lighted and costumed throughout. al theatre-goers are well quainted with Walker Whit stage ability and little need be said concerning it here. Suffice it to say that as Abd el Rey, the dashing bandit of the Egyptian desert, he portrays one of the most fascinating of characters admirably.
