18 HE SUPREME?
Ban Johnson ruled that Ty Cobb was
entitled to a rating of slightly over
tour hundred for the past year, but
when be did so. he overturned one of
the time-honored end unbreakable
rules of baseball. The scorer In •
game In New York, early In the sea
son, gave the fielder an error on a
close play at first, when Ty was safe.
An extra hit would have changed hls
final average for the season from 399
to 400. The play was found by an
amateur record that had been kept
and which showed the only digression
to be on that hit.
Knowing that the final snd official
ruling on that sort of play Is left to
the discretion of the official scorer,
and to him alone. Judge Landis ruled
that It should have been a hit and
that Ty was entitled to the .400 of-
flclal rating. This decision has been
disputed by the Baseball Writers' As-
soclation, and the attack on the ruling
would seem to be correct unless Judge
Landis Is supreme In baseball, greater
than all rules and regulations and
entitled to change them to suit his
convenience or the exigencies of some
immaterial problem.
Cobb himself would not want the
average of .400 unless he bad earned
it. He has made no statement and
has none to make, except that ho
wants only what Is coming to him.
As one fully conversant with the rules
and regulations of baseball, Ty will
doubtless claim that he does not want
anything thut was obtained In this
manner. If he Is the sport we all
think him, he will certain do this and
end a silly and useless argument
A DIFFICULT JOB
The Ideal of every newspaper re
porter Is to ascertain the facts. This,
in itself, Is no small Job, but the temp-
unions to accept rumor as fact, to
follow trails that might lead to good
stories and yet be untrue or untruth
fully presented, Is too well known to
need comment. It Is hardly neces
sary to state that tbe ethics of a news
paper reporter are measured by hls
character. If he finds a fact he Is en
titled to print It and to make sucb
logical deductions as bis mind might
dictate, should this be done without
fear or favor and with no ulterior mo-
tlve.
It is so easy to abuse this profes
sion. It can't be possible to always
get the facts, but the use of anything
else might be prejudicial and unfair
and therefore, the real reporter will
confine hls deductions and reports to
facts alone. If be does full Justice to
bis subject and lives up to the highest
tents of bis profession.

men for their splendid work in many

Two things are among the apparent
certainties In Southern agriculture.
One Is that cotton can be grown in
great quantity despite the boll weevil.
And tbe other is that, no matter If
the boll weevil cannot stop cotton
growing In great quantity, the South
must never return to the all-cotton
system. The big thing that the South
must try for In its all Its agriculture
Is Independence, and it can get Inde
pendence as easily as any other agri
cultural section In tbe world. It can
grow such a variety of things; It can
produce a thing which the world must
hare and of which the South can al
most surely keep a monopoly; and
that thing Is of such d nature that it
can be kept for months and years.
The one thing necessary to the bold-
ins of cotton. In addition, of course to
physical things, such as warehouses,
Is the will to supply other crops that
will keep the farmer going while the
cotton Is being held.
Richard Splllane, writing In the
Philadelphia Public Ledger, asks Is
tbe weevil on the decline, pointing out
that In parts of the cotton belt where
the pest has been longest It la doing
relatively the least damage, the In
ference being that In a year or two
It will be easier to overcome In Geor
gia and South Carolina, where Its
ravages were particularly great the
past season. It will be a fine thing
If nature herself checks the weevil,
but It Is foolish to wait until nature
does take a hand. Tbe fact remains
Hat the weevil can be beaten by us-
Ing nature In the right way, by going
Into the cotton Held and fighting tbe
weevil on Its own ground.
Tbe outlook is that It will pay Geor
gia farmers to follow next year this
line, In their operations: That la, to
grow all the cotton they can without
running to such an acreage that the
weevil will have so great a battlefield
that the farmer and hls help will be
whipped; and to produce all tbe food
and feed that are needed In Georgia
besides. Cotton cannot be grown as In
tbe old days; certainly not next year.
The farmer has a fight on his bands,
which he can win It hls acreage Is not
too great and If he is willing to stay
right on the Job and see that the anti-
weevil fight Is persistent.
Maybe It Is not nature by herself
that Is fighting the pest, but the better
use of nature by cotton growers who
have used their heads. The longer the
weevil has been In a state the less
damage he does, relatively, which In
dicates that the cotton grower, and
not nature alone, has been learning
something. The suggestion that na
ture will kill off the weevil and make
It disappear sometime In the future Is
a dangerous one; no attention should
be paid to It; the thing for the cotton
belt to do Is to fight the weevil with
brains and work; let these servants
of nature help her and the weevil may
go away. At any rate nature works
too slowly, while cotton growers can
get busy right now to fight the pest
for next year's crop of cotton.—Sa

DENBY INFORMS CONGRESS
OF STATUS OF WARSHIPS
THAT WERE SCRAPPED
Washington, D. C., Dec,
eponding to s House resolution,
Secretary Denby transmitted to Con
gress yesterday the information in
the hands of the Navy Department
on the status of warships scrapped
under the terms of the Washington
arms conference naval treaty, - oi
otherwise disposed of by the signs
tories lines the adjournment of the
conference.
The report showed that neither the
United States' nor Japan plan to
complete the scrapping of any exist-
ing capital ships, at least pending
promulgation of the treaty, although
both nations have slopped work on
large building programs of capital
ships. Great Britain, on the other
hand, was shown to have disposed of
or to b* disposing of a very consider
able number of older>eapital ships.
The United States, according to the
report, in addition to suspending
work on vessels under construction
under the treaty, has decommissioned
•11 completed ships affected except
the battleship Connecticut, which
soon will bs placed out of commission
and has sold the Maine and the
Miaouri, which are actually being
broken up.
Great Britain, Mr. Denby said, had,
at the time his information was gath
ered, but which was not indicated,
broken up three capital ships; sold
to be broken up seven; sold but not
dismantled one; completed mutila-
VOTE ON SHIPPING
BILL COMES LATER
Washington, D. C., Dec. 20.—
Efforts to bring about a vote on the
motion of Senator Hants, Republi
can, Nebraska, to lay aaide the ad
ministration shipping bill in favor of
the Nebraska senator’s agricultural
financing measure failed yesteiday
in the Senate and the session ended
with tbe Norris motion more firmly
than even imbedded as the key log in
a legislative jam.
Senator Jones, Republican, Wash
ington, is charge >f tlio shipping bill
supported by ulmlniitrztlon leaders
proposed as he .liil Monday that a
time be set for a vote through unani
mous consent and while Senator Nor
ris indicated his assent to the pro
posal objection was raised by Sen-
ators numbered among the forces
supporting the Norris motion. Sena,
tor Jones thereupon abandoned fur
ther efforts to reach a vote during
the day and the remainder of the
session was given over to a discos-
liion df agricultural legislation by
Senator Smith, Democrat, Sooth Caro
Una, and to an attack on the federal
reserve hoard by Senator Heflin,
Democrat, Alabama.
When a vote might be obtained and
the shipping bill subjected to its firs!
test was a question last night which
leaders coaid not definitely answer.
Senator Harris left the Senate cham
ber at the end of the day’a session
with tha declaration that a vote might
come today, but other senators
supporting the move to lay aside the
ship bill laid they did not desira ta
tions on two, and was engaged in
mutilating six others. The Australian
government, he added, had decided to
scrap the battle cruiser Australia.
Through her ministry of marine,
the Secretary continued, Japan "had
stated that while work preliminary to
scrapping will be done, the hulls will
not bs broken up or sunk until the
treaty has been ratified by all the
powers."
Certain preliminary work involv
ing removal of guns, turrets, armor
and engines was being done, he said,
on seven capital ships; three others
had been placed In the fourth reserve
and work had been suspended on six
Work on two others was proceeding
with the evident intention of complet
ing them as aircraft carpers, per
mitted under the naval treaty.
Neither France nor Italy was re
quired to scrap any completed vessels
by the treaty. One of the ships
France was permitted to retain Mr.
Denby said, had been wrecked and
that nation proposed to complete as
an aircraft carrier one of the five
battleships it had under construction
at the beginning of the war.
Italy, Mr. Denby said, had disposed
of one battleship under construction
and had annulled contracts for three
others. In addition the Leonardo Do
Vinci, a battleship permitted under
hasten the vote because delay would
work to their advantage In the fight
against the shipping legislation.
Meanwhile the banking and cur
rency credits legislation and its chair
man, Senator McLean. Republican,
Connecticut, urged the Senate not to
take up the Norris financing bill hut
to await the credits legislation which
it hopes to report in a week. Several
Democratic senators, however includ
ing Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
announced they would vote to take up
the Norris bill as it would afford an
opportunity for discussion of farmer
relief legislation pending a report by
the banking committee. Senator
Simmons, Democrat, North Carolina,
although indicating he did not favor
the Norris bill, announced that a de
sire to bring about the early dis
cussion of farm legislation might
cause him to vote to bring the Ne
braska senator’s measure before the
Senate.
