main he is correct and we heartily
endorse the major part of his
article. We do not believe that
the statement that there is now
more liqnor consumed in Randolph
county than when we had open sa.
looms will be borne out by the facts,
however we are hound to admit
there are some who buy liquor from
mail order houses aud get drunk on
it, who would possibly not do SO If
they could get a drink every time
they came to town. We think,
however, that such persons as these
are largely in the minority, and we
do know mauy people who used to
come to town and never missed an
opportunity to get 'full," who now
hardly ever drink at all.

THORNTON ELIMINATED
IN WESTERN TOURNEY

LAKE FOREST, ILL, July 25.-Cali-
fornia against Princeton formed the
chief contests in the tournament of the
Western TENS association today In
the mems singles w. H. Mace, of
Princeton, was scheduled to meet T. c.
Bundy, of Los Angeles. and H. M
Braley. of Los Angeles, was to meas
ure his skill against that of G. M
Church, of Princeton. The winners OF
these matches will be in the semi finals
but will not meet as they are in the
top and bottom of the draw, respective
ly.
In the upper half Chicago man
probably will oppose the winner of the
Mace Bundy match, and either one of
two local players or F. c. Inman of
New York, who defeated Thornton. OF
Atlanta, in the third round will contest
for a place in the finals with the victor
of the Church Braley game.
Some of the teams in the mems dou-
bles may also get to the finals today,
but this will depend upon the ability OF
the men back of them to catch up with
the schedule

sort of a game the Giants play
against the other teams, when they
face the Cubs they get right down
to straight baseball.
1t may be that several incidents
in the past which happened in con-
ficts between these two teams and
which have made baseball history,
has shown that it is useless for the
New Workers to match gray matter
against gray matter with the Cubs.
When they line up against the
Cubs now they put up elemental
baseball They play the game as
It's played on the corner lots, and If
they can get away with 1t all right.
But no bluff and no fancy bust
ness, no stealing OF bases and no
going crazy for McGraw when he's
up against the Cub machine
While the team as whole is
easy for me, naturally there are
several men with whom | have
more difficulty than with the
others. The most dangerous Of the
lot consider Larry Doyle Taken
as unit, the Giants like high
ball. Obviously, then, feed them
low ones. So far I have been sue
cessful in fooling both Doyle and
Murray with the low ones. While
Meyers does not particularly fancy
those below the waist, he's apt to
get them, as he's one of the luck
lest hitters l have ever SEEN The
rest of the Giants I relegate to the
junk pile. They have several fast
men when they get on bases, taxi
ing Snodgrass as an example, but
they don't get on often enough

INDIAN THORPE REFUSES
INVITATION OF KING

LONDON, July 25.-It was learned
on the voyage of the American ath-
letes to Dover that on the day when
the Finland left Stockholm the King OF
Sweden sent an equerry to the ship to
command the presence of Thorpe, half
breed Indian and winner of the ALL
around athletic championship at the
royal palace.
Thorpe refused to go. 1t is probably
the first time in history that royal
command of such a nature was ever
refused
1t is reported the king wished to
give Thorpe a token Of appreciation OF
his wonderful work in winning the
pentathlon and decathlon in the Olym-
pic games. But when the gold braided
royal equerry boarded the ship and
gave Thorpe the summons, the Indian
looked sheepish, tried to dig his foot
into the deck, and finally replied. BASH

when I'm in the box to give me any

Archer catching, McGraw insists on
straight baseball, with base steal
ing forgotten.

Graw knows that in my five years
of baseball, all OF which have been
spent in the minors I never was
with a team which finished in first
division? l guess if a second divi-
sion minor league pitcher can trim
the Giants it doesn't bear out my
contention that as ball club they
possess but little class.
I'm not going to wish either Mar
guard or Matty any harm. l adj
mire them too much as pitchers,
and I respect them 100 much as
men, but If the Giants win the
pennant this year 1t will be the
victory of Marquard and Mathew

Do I think the Giants are going
to win the flag?
No-not if we can get to within

Do l think we can cut down
their present lead to that number

Yes.
Everything is beginning to break

Pitching Sensation Ranks
Cubs and Pirates as Supe-
rIor to McGrawites; Thinks
PhiIIies the Hardest to Beat.
BY Jim Lavender.

NANDIDLY, I can't see the
Y Giants. Some one has nick
named me the Giant tanner"
presume the nickname is intend
cd to convey praise. Personally
DON'T consider trimming the Giants
such a great feat. AS a matter of
fact, find them quite easy.
Now if some one should call me
Phil buster" I'd feel flattered.
and think that really was some
pitcher indeed.
Again. let me say that can't
see the Giants There are at least
two ball teams in the National
league which, taken as units. are
UNNECESSARILY their superiors.
The Cubs come first.
Then come the Pirates.
And I'd rather pitch against any
team in the league than against
the Phillies.
The fan who points to the fact
that the Giants are leading the
league. with the Cubs second and
the Pirates third, of course, for the
present, has an edge on the argu-
ment. But
Where would the Giants be to-
day without Marquard or Matty
and where would they be in
month hence if something happens
to either RUDE or Big Six?
The Giants are leading the PEN
nant race now for two reasons,
Marquard and Bluff, but princi-
pally Marquard.
Rates Vanguard Greatest Southpaw
So that nobody will make a mis-
take I'll say here that l consider
RUDE the greatest left handler in
the game. Mathewson needs no
praise of mine He's a great
pitcher, one of the greatest the
game has ever known, even If he's
not as effective against the Cubs
s he Is against all of the other
clubs in the league but to my way
of thinking, take these two pitch
ers away from the Giants and the
team would f1zz like a "nigger-
chaser" on the Fourth of July.
MY attention has been called to
the fact that Manager McGraw has
said that 1 am not great pitcher
just good one. That I'm fin
ished pitcher now, with little
chance to improve. Well let the
bet go as 1t lays I trimmed 'em
twice, didn't I? And I checked the
winning streak Of their pitching
sensation, didn't I? All right, let's
have it as Mr. McGraw says, that
I'm not a great pitcher just a good
one. then all it needs is just a good
pitcher to trim the New Yorks,
and that bears out my argument
that l can't see the Giants as a
wonderful ball club. Take away
their two pitchers on the defensive
and they aviate. On the offensive
they're nothing when they run up
against a team with real class, like
the Cubs.
You'll notice no matter what

all else is the fact that all of the
other teams no longer face the
Giants with fear and trembling as
they did in the beginning of the
season, almost conceding them the
game before 1t is played, but are
making them go out and win it.
And in the process of making the
New Workers win they find that
they also can be beaten. This is
what is going to help us.

the other teams in the league will
