How much longer will the American people stand for this form of sabotage? ? The Greenwood Index Journal.

Drivers Coolness Prevents Accidents It Is reported that a large cotton truck headed south and a Greyhound hiiH headed north In trying to past* on the Wattfree river bridge Wednesday morning caused both drivers muck anxiety. Both vehicles were so wide but for the carefulness and coolnoss of the drivers a serious accident might have resulted. In the meantime cars wore approaching from both directions, making the situation that much more dangero.us. After expert maneuvering on the part of the drivers the situation i was relieved with a fifteen minute de-J lay. much to the relief of all con-, cerned.

Let my gore run, bright and free; Don't attempt to bandage me. While there's life, there's hope, so pet, Don't apply a tourniquet; Do not give, for my salvation, "Artificial respiration 1" Do not stretch my bones or joints Do'not press my 'pressure points!' If "queer symptoms' you should see Don't experiment on me! If I'm suffering from 'shock', Take a walk around the block! If you must be busy, pray Help to "keep the crowds away!' So. whatever my condition, Phone at once for a physician! Let me lie; I'll take a chance Waiting for tho ambulance; From 'first aid' I beg release? Lady, let me die in peace!"

Yount Hits Homer Off First Pitch Although playing better ball than would have been expected for an Initial exhibition game, the Columbia Rods dropped a < to 3 decision to the Toronto Maple Loufs at Dreyfuas field Wednesday afternoon. Eddie Yount'a homer over the left field barrier on the first pitched ball of the gumo touched off a three run rally for the Leafa at the atart, but it was a atoal of home in the sixth by Meyers which tallied the eventual winning run. John Orphal, rookie sent here by Birmingham, was the victim of that first inning uprising, four hits and two walks accounting for the tallies, but he settled down and hurled shutout bail for the next four innings before being relieved by Bernie Plata, who did well tht\ rest of the way, but let Meyer sneak home with two out in the sixth. The lteds couldn't do much with Big John Geo, Pittsburgh's $75,000 question-mark, although they did eolIpjo. six hits and a single run off him M^the five innings he worked. Jim Davis, who used to hurl for the Augusta Tigers, took over for the Leafs in the sixth and allowed tlie other two runs, largely through wildness and poor support. Although he was charged with two errors, Pepper Martin was the fielding star for the Reds and collected two hits. Burgess Whitehead, who still looks good enough to be in the big leagues, had a big day at second for the Leafs and had two hits iu five trips. ?m German Railways Get 80,000 Women j Bern, Switzerland. ?
