Wesley Bradshaw is going to coaeli at high next fall. He succeeds Duchey Mntth, who succeded Hugh Butler at man. will be at Amarillo next fall to succeed the lamented Hugh Butler there. Bradshaw had much success In the coaching field. Me a great star at Baylor, and a capable coach at Athens high.

He should do well with the material at Sherman high. Heinie Weir, who coached the Itasca high team In 1925, which produced such brilliant stars as Gilliland, Pruitt, Mitchell and others, and who was at Palestine high last year, will coach the Vernon high fo tball team nexi fall. Vernon always has much material, and always has a strong team in its section. For years Baggett has been the coach, but he recently resigned to become head coach at the Wichita Falls Junior college. His as- sictant coach at Vernon resigned to accept the position of assistant coach at Amarillo.

At Vernon, Weir will have as his assistant, Lyle, an old Aggie guard of about 15 years ago. Weir had no muterla! to work with In Palestine, and team did not heat anybody much, hut will be different out In Vernon. Amarillo is trying to go somewhere annually In the football race, but we would not be surprised should Weir lead the Vernon team to a district title In that section next fall, for he Is a splendid high school leader, one of the 10 best high school coaches in Texas. Stan Ersklne of the Austin American has the following of much interest to loctfl fans; "At this time there are horses on three baseball stars In the.

Fuzz Douglas of Baylor might make it as a pitcher, provided he turned in many games likes the one he hurled against Texas. Besides Douglas, eastern sport scribes are devoting quite a bit of space to Blackie Williams, outfielder for the Christians and Meredith Hopkins of 'lexas. Of the three. Hopkins is the choice. He is by far the most finished played in the conference, and the greatest feet won the broad Jump, while 5 feet, 5 Inches won the high Jump.

A bit over 39 feet won the shot put. and 143 feet, 10 Inches won the Javelin event. Conspicuous by their absence from this meet were real field men. Among the at the A. A.

F. meet to be held In Dallas In early June win be Aubrey Jackson. Jackson Is a product of Hillsboro high school, and was a sensational track star. Hs was eligible at Texas unlrerslty in his sophomore year, and shattered the record In the broad jump, also Individual high scored of the eon- ferenre meet In which he participated, but he did not return the next year. His attempt to stage a comebaek at the Olympic trinls will be with Interest, Taylor of Baylor will also be among tlse entries.

Jack R. writes In to Inform ue that Waco needs more pitchers. Jack is wrong, the Cubs do not need more pitchers. What they need most is better pitching. However, better pitching just one of the several things that the Cubs need.

Yet under the circumstances the have done very well If the records mean anything. Waco has batting a of even 800 and Is tied for the lead In the Texas league, yet Is battling to hold fifth place In the standing. Waco has more hits to Its credit than any team In the circuit, and ranks second In runs seared, only three behind Houston. The ubs lead In home runs with 2i. If there a set of averages to show la the pinches, Wnro would also lend In that department.

W. D. Thompson in Waco yesterday. He is the deputy nd fish warden of this section. Thompson has just returned from a trip north of here, where he made 12 nr- rests and got 12 convictions for violations of the game and fish laws.

Thompson highly interested in the preservation of the game and fish in this section, and for that reason Is making a highly efficient game warden. Thompson also declares that fishing in this section is better than ever before, and that splendid catches by various sportsmen are being reported daily. Thompson Is due to leave today for a trip east of here on business concerning the pollution of streams.

PALMER ADMITS IS DOOMED (Taken from Federation Bulletin, Page 102, April, 1 928.) In addressing a meeting of 500 chiropractors and sympathizers In Philadelphia, February £6, Mr.

B. J. Palmer, daddy of made some illuminating remarks. According to the Pittsburgh Medical Bulletin, he said: of the chiropractors in Pennsylvania are practicing medicine, not chiropractic. That is a sorry fact, gentlemen, we are practicing medicine.

During the last year, I have been in every state In the Union, and this condition exists throughout. My Ideals concerning chiropractic were shat- ojtered. Chiropractic is doomed. You have drifted so far from the basic principles of chiropractic that you have your identity and brought the basic science bill upon your heads. Twenty-eight chiropractic schools have closed recently, and many others will follow'.

The supreme courts in seven states have handed down legal injunctions during the last eighteen months whereby these states are lost forever to chiropractic. I warned Ohio not to compromise. They tried to pass a bill engrossing medical principles and practices. I predicted its failure. It lost by 250,000 votes.

There has been $250,000 of chiropractic money spent in California in the last year. You cannot defeat the endq of science. The basic science Dills are the buck shot which we deserve for trespassing. When chiropractors preach and practice and try to become physicians, then it is justifiable for the medical men to educate the chiropractor. Now beat that argument if you can.

That is why we are losing right along. This will probably the last time you will see me as a chiropractor, as. I do not propose to lose my good money in fighting! against Incidentally, it is said that the number of students at Mr. million dollar school at Iowa, has decreased from 3,500 to about 300.

There Is not a player in the conference this year ready for the majors, and It Is doubtful if there is any ready for the Texas league. hen a hall plajer can't hit .300 in college circles, you can gamble your last dollar that he make the Texas league grade, Meredith Hopkins of lexas Is a splendid fielder. So far us his fielding roneerned. he Is ready for class A baseball, but seriously doubt If he hit enough to make the lexas league, and his chance of heconiing a regular In the majors the next five years Is about one in 1,000.

GGG The scouts like Hopkins wora In the field. Some of them believe that 1 with hla big wriBts and power, lie will learn to hit. But the boys, who learn to hit are and far between. Hitting is a natural talent, and Hopkins not to be blessed with that talent. Right now he do In class but could not play in a league of higher classification.

Yet he Is best prospect of the three, ub Ersklne itates. Right now, however, Douglas could come closer to making the Texas league than could Hopkins. We do not know whether Douglae will ever be a major league hurler. We doubt it, but do know tbat he is the best baseball player In the conference, and that it la our opinion that he could play successfully in the Texas league. He is fast, a good first baseman, a good outfielder, can pitch, can run the bases exceptloanlly well, and is Blaokle Williams of T.

C. U. is not even a prospect It a well known fact, but Eddie Moore, star center fielder of the Fort orth ats, In lir for a year or so, but did not participate on any of the athletic He in Haylor in 1917 or 1918. He ought to hate been a pretty fair college outfielder.
