Police Chief Glenn F. McClung reports. Chief McClung said he discovered the body of Miss Farrington, a writer, in her home. He said she had shot herself with a J32 caliber like a volcano and it often takes him an extra inning or two to retain his pitching form. The Cardinal System , The St. Louis Cardinals have the best idea of the qualities tha' go into the making of a good ball player. Their farm system was arranged on the general idea of giving experience to young players whn could run and throw. For the nasi 20 years the average Cardinal could run and he had a good arm. Hard hitters or big hitters who were slow, rarely stayed around. Ball players with bad arms were not wanted, no matter how good they might look otherwise. The arms of Terry Moore Slaughter in the p*>st have been as deadly as twin --and both were extremely fast on their feet. When a Cardinal starts from first to third he usually makes it. And when some rival starts from first to third he is revolver. Keeping watch beside the j quite often cut down short of the bag. Fnrnitnre Industry North Carolina is credited with being the country's largest producer of medium and low-priced furniture, with 12 per cent; Michigan is listed as producing the largest proportion of high-cost furniture, with 5.6 per cent.

McClung said Miss Farrington left a note addressed to ah undisclosed friend, with excerpts which read: "Twenty-four years of fruitless waiting and at the last you are still my best beau. . . .

Experience is a big factor but a brace of young legs and a young throwing arm are also useful. *9 Order your rubber *Ihum at the Plaindealer. (2'Oittzvtteci GIVE MORE MILK We UCOMMEND lr.

Mother and Daughter Saieiies, Peliee Say RANDALLSTOWN, MD. -- PoUce reported the second case of suicide in eight years at the Hellwig farmhouse when the bodies of a 73-yearold mother and her daughter were found -- arms entwined -- in a gasfilled kitchen. A deputy medical examiner issued s suicide verdict after a sonin- law came home from work and found the bodies of Mrs. Lena Hellwig and her daughter. Miss May Hellwig, 40, seated at a table. In December, 1938, police records disclosed, Mrs. Hellwig's husband, Philip, shot himself in the chest with a shotgun after an argument with his wife and daughter. Miss Hellwig escaped her father by tripping him as he ran from the house. He fell on the porch, and fired at the daughter, but missed. Then he killed himself. Throne Is 'Foreed* oa .

Haggerty is assigned to serve a warrant on an alimony dodger who boasted he was going to hide in a movie house until officers tire in their search.

The Dodgers have this advantage--they are younger. More than one Cardinal star is now deep in the veteran class and speed doesn't increase with the years-- not even with a Terry Moore and an Enos Slaughter. If Robinson makes good st third, or wherever he is nsed, his addition will increase Dodger speed. Teams in the National league hoping to crowd out either Brooklyn or St. Louis will need more speed than they have shown so far. A large number of ball players can get in better condition and stay in better condition than many do. For any daily competition that runs through 154 games demands the best sort of physical condition. This can be obtained much better by sticking as long as possible to one spot, rather than through extensive traveling around. 0 • College and Pro War There is now an underground, undeclared war between the colleges* and pro football which may break into the open any day or any week. The colleges are charging that the pro leagues are taking away star football players, who have from one to two years left for college football--a direct violation of propromises not to take any man who is eligible for the college game. The pro leagues are charging that college football coaches and college athletic associations are holding players in college, or trying to hold them, long after their classes have graduated. _ This argument or feud of course dates back to the war. 1 happen to know that when the war came along, many southern coaches were something more than mildly upset over the fact that Army and Navy had taken away their best players Unless he actually wants to finish a college education above everything else, I can see no reason why a man of 25 or .26, especially those with families, should stay on in college to play football. Under these circumstances, I would say that he is entitled to leave college and get the best pro job available. can but «jrsmunity singta* with Mrs. Carl Weber at the pi«Wt Mid the recitation of old time Valentine Of Lacffle Nickels Mr. and Mnk» Fred Nickels of West McHenry announce the engagement of their daughter, Lucille, Lucille, to John J.
