TOO MUCH WAFER

Hairy Tuthill the Giants trainer
thinks BAN players drinis too much water
for their own sood. Tuthin has handled
an kind Of athletes in his career pedes-
trians, wrcstiers, sprinters and an the
boxers Of note In the country
"Ball players are the only athletes -
said he last night, 'who drink water TO
their stomach's content at an times. Com
ing ia from the field or trip around the
bases a player dashes madly to the water
barrel and fills up on three or four mugs
OF ice-cold river dope. They claim they
sweat it out in the hot sun, and I sup
pose they DO, but they would certainly
feel better if they cut out some of it. 1t
isn't a mans stomach that gets 80 thirsty.
It's his mouth and throat that become
parched and dry. If all players would
rinse their mouths out more and guzzle
less they couldn't help being in better
shape"

LOCAL POLICE
LOST To TRENTON
Wllmin ton Cops Hit the
Ball Hard, But Fielded
in Poor Form
HANRl KNOCKED OUT Of BOX

In every particular except the final
score, the baseball game az South Side
Park yesterday afternoon between teams
representing the local and Trenton police
department. for the benefit of the Police
Christmas Tree fund. was "a big success.
The local "cops" were harpooned by the
score of o to because Of poor fielding.
They hit The ball harder than the Tren-
ton boys but could not always connect
when safe drives were needed and then
their loose fielding gave a number Of
runs to the visitors
II was a return game as the Whining
ton cops played IN Trenton several weeks
ago and were badly defeated as their-op-
ponents had a padded team.
From q financial standpoint the game
was more of a success than had been
anticipated. There were 1900 persons pres
ent. but this did not represent all that
was taken in as 2ioO tickets were sold. The
amount cleared was about 5000.
Sergeant Lyons, who Is the manager Of
the local cops was busy man and for
a time it looked as though his team might
land a victory but a bunch >of errors put
them to the bad I'm the third and they
never caught up again.
Hawke started in to pitch for our Of
ncers but was sent to the stable In the
seventh scarboro. who succeeded him
did better work and Wilmington would
probably have won had soarboro started
In TO pitch
Manager Lyons boys got busy for a
short time in the ninth and looked
dangerous but sharp fielding kept the
locals from scoring but one run. Lloyd
of Trenton was touched up for fifteen safe
drives but they were kept scattered.
Chief OF Police Black ana Captain Evans
were on the grounds and rooted hard for
their team. Turnkey Nealey has the regu-
lar rooter beat a mile and ,hc way he
whooped things up from the bleachers
surprised his friends.
"uncle Elly" Heald was present ana
roasted the home players numerically
whenever they made a bad play
