George Barr, veteran National League umpire, who has conducted a school for umpires in Hot Springs for the past five years, announced yesterday that 20 of this year's crop had been accepted in various leagues, with three going to the Northeast Arkansas League. George Ruff, umpire-in-chief of the NEA circuit since the resignation of Tony McDonald, will be the only veteran arbiter in the league. His new assistants are Earle Hal-stead, Detroit, Dan Boyle, Lincoln, N. and James McGow-an, Archbald, Pa. The addition of these three new bottle-dodgers means that two full-time umpires will handle each game in the four-club league.

Last year was the first season in which the circuit employed Barr-trained men, and they proved fairly successful Umpire-in-Chief Ruff was on hand at the school this year and chose the new officials which have been accepted by League President Joe Bertig. Didja know that a billiard table is composed of 250 parts, and that the slab of slate in a table alone weighs from 1,000 to 1,500 pounds? Here as some other facts which we ran across in an article recently. F'rinstance, did you know that ivory billiard balls, before they are used, are placed in a vault for a year at an even temperature of 72 and that they shrink as much as one-eighth inch? Also, we learned that brass balls originally were used in the game, but ivory balls came into use 700 years ago. In the seven centuries that billiards are known to have Jess Gwin, manager of the Gwin Country Club, advised The Republican this morning that a meeting of representatives of the golf clubs of the Southeast Missouri Round Robin Association will be held Sunday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the Stoddard Country Club at Dexter tor an organization meeting and to discuss the tournament schedule for 1939. The meeting was called by Win.

Schuette, of Cape Girardeau, association chairman. Perryville, not in the association last season, has been invited to join. DIEHLSTADT GIRLS FINALLY LOSE GAME Diehktadfs girls' basketball team, after winning 80 straight games, was defeated Friday night at Fulton, by the Fulton high school team, 38-22.

After the meeting was called to order by the president, we had the reading and approval of minutes for last meeting.

Then roll call was answered. We welcome one new member, Wilens Mullins. Two members resigned, Marvella and Naomi Jackson. We were very sorry to lose them. We had two visitors, Mrs.

L. H. Gale and Mattie Mullins. We selected a social committee, selecting June Hicks as chairman. We finished our sewing kits and started on an apron.

We then closed the meeting and enjoyed several games before leaving for our homes. June Hicks, Reporter, The Sewing Bees met at the home of Mrs. DePriest the leader on March 18, 1939. The meeting wad called to order by the members re peating the pledge. Roll was called with all seventeen members present Two more joined, which make a roll call of nineteen.

The president gave a demonstra tion on table manners, which was very interesting. After the business meeting, the girls decided to give a play. Some of the girls gave read ings and sang songs. Cookies and cocoa were served by our leader and Beatrice James, a club member. The next meeting will be April 1st.

We all hope our leader doesn't play an April fool trick on us. Maxine Samford, Reporter. months 11 00 1 month 11 Section: 1 jear 13. M.

Two others were around the 6 foot 4 inch mark and a fourth member was about 6 foot 2 inches. Only one player, Liley, a 5 foot 8 inch lad, was under the six foot mark.

The Lilboum team made full use of their height by placing tall Shanks under the basket and two of tha other tall boys on either side of the court, and then if they were unable to work the ball in for short shots, shooting from out near the center of the court. If the ball failed to hit the basket, the tall boys would take the ball on the rebound and push it into the hoop The game was close throughout with the Lilboum five holding a slight lead throughout most of the game. "Lil oum held a 12-7 lead at the end of the first quarter and a 14-12 lead at the half. The Caruthersville Independents pulled up een with Lilboum, 26-26, at the end of the third quarter. With but one minute of play left, Lilboum held a 33-32 lead and during the remaining minute added a free shot to win, 34-32.

The Caruthersville team used three members of this year's Tiger team, George Jones, Leon Crawford ana Finis Jones. George Jones and Crawford started the game with Finis Jones relieving W. V. "Dub" Robinson, who went out on six per sonals in the second half. Crawford was high point scorer for the locals with 12 points.

Shanks of Lilboum was high for both teams with 11 paints. Each team scored the same number of field goals, 13, but Lilboum scored 8 of their 14 free shots, whereas the locals scored 6 of their 7 free throws. Delmar "Kid" Pritchard of Ca ruthersville refereed all games of the tournament which began Wed nesday night of last week. A game between the local Shoe Factory girls team and a girls in dependent team from Lilboum, was tentatively scheduled for Friday night as a preliminary to the championship game between the local independents and Lilboum but for some unknown reason, the game failed to materialize and only the one game was played The following are the scores for all games: Wednesday Night, March 22 Warden 34, Hayti 28.

All the news In The SCHEDULE, 1939 GRID PRACTICE IN FULL SWING Coadi Hopke Juggling Squad to Find Players to FLU Eight Spots Made by Gtaduation Coach Jack Hopke's 1939 edition of Tiger football team has been (working out for the past two weeks and already Coach Hopke is beginning to find out how much work he has to do to fill the spots made vacant by graduation of eight of his 1938 champions. Wet weather has interferred with practice periods this week, since Coach Hopke is not holding workouts when the ground is wet because of possible injury to the boys and to keep from injuring the turf on the field. Originally a practice game had teen scheduled for Friday, April 6, but on account of a county meet scheduled for next week end the game between the 1939 squad and the Seniors of this year, the game will be moved up one or two days, the date not being definitely decided on yet Coach Hopke stated Wednesday morning. Coach Hopke will have to fill eight spots. The entire regular backfield graduates this year and four linesmen.

Only Bob Mick, at tackle, Paul Neal at guard and Elmer Murphy at end are left, and Coach Hopke has been using Murphy in the backfield this spring. In the line the only boys who have had very much experience are Claude Stewart at end, Cathel Ma-lugen at tackle and Grover Lafferty at guard. Bobby Green, who saw service at guard and tackle last year is being used in the backfield this spring. Donald George, who substituted at center for Joe Tipton last season and played a swell game in the crucial Charlesotn game here, is back and gives the Tigers a dependable man for tho pivot position. In the backfield about the only player who saw mach service is Gene Michie.

D. J. Meredith and Billy Tipton were laid up most of last season with injuries and consequently saw little service. Bobby Green is being used in the back-field in an effort to bolster the blocking and possibly may be used for line plunging. Elmer Murphy, an end last year, has been shifted back to the backfield this spring to lend some experience.

Gene Michie, D. J. Meredith and Billy Tipton have been receiving instructions in punting, along with Murphy and Van Johnson, Jr. Jack Lay, who came to Caruth-ersville after the football season closed, saw quite a bit of service with the Cairo high school team last year in the line but Coach Hopke is giving him a chance at the backfield. Another spot, and an important one to fill, is that of signal caller, a post filled by Joe Tipton for the past two seasons.

Just who will be entrusted with this post probably will not be known until next fall. The boys who have been receiving the most attention this spring and the positions at which they are being used are as follows: Ends Claude Stewart, Van Johnson, John England and Lawson Stines. Tackles Bob Mick, Carthel Ma-lugen, Wallace Young and Harry Keener. Guards Paul Neal, Grover Lafferty, George Moody and Charles McCoy. Centers Donald George ana jonn England.

Backfield Gene Michie, Bobby Green, D. J. Meredith, Elmer Murphy, Billy Tipton, Jack Lay, Law-son Stines, Ancil Robertson and Carl Ulmer. A cow may consume from four for every pound of milk she gives. There are 5,245 national banks In the United States.

been played, it is estimated that two million ivory balls have been made, requiring the tusks of elephants. They are now trying to make synthetic ivory out of powdered casein the same substance which is the basis of cheese. However, these aren't as "lively" as natural ivory. The advantage is in price. The synthetic ivory balls retail at $15 for a set of three as against $35 for the ivory ones.

Pocket billiard balls, including the eight ball, are made of celluloid mixed with camphor and other materials. In powdered form it is placed in molds, baked under terrific pressure and then turned by hand on lathes the same as ivory. England has 6,660,000 cattle, horses, 3,200,000 pigs and sheep. In the U.

THIS 'N THAT George "Baby Brother" Reichett, Northeast Arkansas League batting champion of last season, is holding out for a larger salary boost than has been offered by the Jonesboro Club Manager Elmer Kirchoff of the Par-agould Browns (Rebels last year) has advised the Paragould club officials that he will go to Mayfield, April 5 to look over Brownie talent in school there He expects to pick his squad and bring them to Paragould about April 15 for spring training-. The Jonesboro Giants got the jump on other NEA teams since Manager Dutch Welch has had his rookies, picked at the White Sox camp in Texas, in a game already and expects to keep his squad in action against teams in the Evangeline League and in Texas this week and next Kemp Wicker, former Yankee hur-lei now with Brooklyn, was credited with winning and also losing an game the other day Looks like the Dodgers are in mid-season form The New York Giants went for that fancy New Orleans grub in a big way, but not all of the Athletics One of Connie Mack's young hopefuls went into Antoine's (one of the town's ritzy joints) and said: "Gimme a mess of meat and potatoes and a bottle of beer" Laff this off: Walter Johnson's radio sponsors told the "Big Train" to go to Florid? and get the background of a training camp He only made 24 spring training trips while with the Washington Senatorfe Jack Miley in an article iii the New York Post says that what Max Schmeling really came to America for recently was to get the German rights to "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" which he got Eob Peoples, fullback on Southern California's Rose Bowl champions last fall, in a recent track and field meet, hung up a new American record when he tossed the javelin 234 feet, 1 7-8 inches Earl M.

U. football teams, last week signed a two-year contract to play with the Philadelphia Eagles, professional football team. After glancing over the list of players signed for the Jonesboro Giants by Manager Dutch Welch at the Chicago White Sox camp at Longview, Texas, we have come to the conclusion that it's going to be just your choice against the field when it comes to pronouncing the names of most of these lads. It looks tike they've raided the Notre Dame football squad. Among some of the posers are Stanley Gusik, Fred Milosevich, Charles Papousek, John Gyurson, Max Festa, Lewis Leiter and Matthew Miagza.

If these boys stick, it's going to be tough on the umps and scorekeepers, and a headache to newspapers. Announcement has been made that the Chciago White Sox and the Pittsburg Pirates will play an exhibition game at Paragould on April 12. It marks the first time a major league team has appeared at Paragould It would have helped the Jonesboro club a great deal had the game been held in this city as the Giants have the backing of the Pale Hose, whereas Paragould is backed by the St Louis Browns. However, this game probably was carded before the Sox made arrangements to back Jonesboro. Baseball fans throughout the country were glad to see Carl Hub-bell, the old lefthander, perform as he did Sunday against the Cleveland Indians.

The old soupbone went back on him last summer and he underwent an operation in Memphis. Evidently the operation on the salary wing got the job done as he sat the Indians down without a hit for three innings, and after working reported that his arm felt good. He is a grand player and a great team man and if he is fully re- The Christian Science Publishing Socletr One.
