George R. McEIroy, President of the Board of Rents and Claims, declared today.

He estimated 150,000 acres had been obtained during the week the Board has been operating. Permits for use of their land were being mailed this week to 2,000 of the approximately 3,000 landowners in the huge, boot-shaped area.

Tuesday's game next week will not be attended by the buddies because of examinations that are being held. All Tuesday games can be attended thereafter, it is reported.

TROPICALS Ktt wvA in the city and county and who would make a strong bid for office should they be persuaded to qualify. The majority of grapevine gossip deals with the offices of attorney general and circuit judge and many entrants or prospective performers in the political arena are named.

Xext in line for discussion is the office of county register, followed in order by that of county court clerk and chancellor. The usual feelers are out for testing the sentiment fo the electorate toward this one and that one, and early returns are being weighed to see if they be found wanting or if they seem to stack up to a good winning chance. There are indications that persons not yet mentioned by name even in the privacy of the street corner sessions may be prevailed upon to announce for some office before August 2 arrives. In any case, all indications point 9 li0m It's not players that are scarce but umpires. Ray Dumont, president of the National Semi-Pro Baseball Congress, announced today that team entries were already pouring in from the sandlot clubs from throughout the nation for the 48 state tourneys to be held in July.

These tourneys will weed out the weaker sandlot teams and qualify the winning champions for the seventh annual national championship event to be held at Wichita. Kansas, August 15 through August 27. At the same time Dumont reports that there is a shortage of competent umpires, not only to officiate in district and state tournaments, but also in the national association of leaeues. The 1.000.000 acres to be used I by the 83.000 troops from Georgia, Michigan, New York, Tennessee now to politics and more politics and iorth and boutn Carolina is in the shape of a boot, with Camp Forrest forming the toe and the rest of the area extending 12 miles across and extending northward 25 mlies to Murfreesboro.

In addition to the umpires group, the congress now sponsors a national association of scorers in nrrtpr to have standard box score over. Mentioned as possibilities for the attorney general's race are: Jack Manhein, Charles Hancock and Homer Waldrop. A petition has already been circulated to place the name of the incumbent, David P. Murray, on the ticket.

If these men all qualify, this race should be a blue ribbon affair as all mentioned so far are seasoned campaigners and worthy opponents. In the county register's race, seven names have been wafted in on the waves of gossip.

Jim Allen, Beannie Holt, Will Smith. Frank Alexander. E. Cantrell, Ernest C. Hardin and the incumbent, John Wallace, make up the present list.

Only two are mentioned prominently to date for chancellor. They are the incumbent. DeWitt Henderson, and L. L. Fonville.

To keep the record straight it must be stated that none of these are campaigning openly so far as can be learned except those seeking re-election and Hardin in the register's race. Which ones of these, if any, will actually qualify for the primaries still remains to be seen.
