DOME BUSH SOLVES
S[OWBALL PROBLEM
Midget Detroiter Expects to
Overcome His Weakness BY
Bunting At All FIoaters.

DOME Bush. the Tigers dynamic
otherwise mentally matured a plot or
scheme whereby he not only hopes but
confidently expects to be numbered with
the etrcEg men of the fail at the end
Of this season.
Mr.. Bush. long known to American
League fans as a prince among fielders
and a baron of base runners. has been
for some seasons last just one of the
common people when it comes to bat
ting
He has made plays that ought not be
permitted in daylight and mas dis

around the paths like a butcher boy to

with the orange. globe, or missile OF
play regularly enough to suit either him.
self Or his manager.
Now things will be different Taking
careful squint at his failing, Bush
has come to The conclusion that the
glow ball is the rock on which he splits
He can caress curves and flatten fast
ones, but as soon as they begin to hand
up the fioaters. he is ready to quit
Naturally the majority of pitchers
and catchers in the American League
have made the same discovery, and
sides slow ones when there is a finger
on the mound who includes that deNber-
ate delivery in his repertoire. They fair
ly have sloW-balled DOME to death
The midget blames Eddie Summers for

closet and rafting II before the world.

Will Have No Fear.
But in future. DOME not only will
have no fear OF this sort of hurting. but
will fairly dote on the lackadaisical de-
livery. He will moan and sigh for more
slow balls to hammer, so to speak.
Buntation is the solution of the prob
lem that has worried him so long He
has discovered that he can lay the slow
ball down to perfection, and he means
to work II until the pitchers get tired
of trying to throw him out on gentle
taps expertly placed and pitch him
much speed, which he may lam to the
uttermost fence.
Being unusually fast in getting to frs,
base and celeritous in quitting the plate
after connecting, DOME thinks that he
will be able to convert a lot of his bunts
into hits. Other players who know his
speed are inclined to agree.

5-YEAR SECRECY
PHTHISIS CURE
INGREDIENT
"COntratoxin" Is Name of New
Alleged Remedy for Consump-
tion-Discoverer Modest.

LONDON, June 24.-Dr. Frederick
Mehnarto. of Heidelberg, who is now
residing in London. announces in the
latest issue of the Lancet, the par
ticUlars of a new alleged consump-
ton cure discovered by him and call
ed 'contratoxin."
Two hundred patients are now ap-
parentiy cured, he asserts. after hav
ing been treated with this injection
at the Margaret Street and Mount
Vernon hospitals. All of the patients
were pledged to secrecy before the
experimenting began.
The doctors at the Margaret Street
Hospital, who have been applying the
treatment positively refuse to give
any information or details, as they
do not consider that the treatment
has yet had a fair trial.
DR.. Mehnarto writes:
"Contratoxin consists of the blood
plasma of various animals mixed in
proportions calculated to produce a
lytic action on various micro organ
isms without reducing Zysis of the
human red corpuscles In the pro-
duction of contratoxin advantage is
taken OF the fact that some reptilian
plasmas act as haemolytic agents
while others act as coagutant agents.
The practical value of this fact is
that when horses or Sleeps blood
is sensitized by a combination of both
types Of reptilian plasma the red
corpuscles are no longer capable Of
being dissolved by distilled water and
at the same time the blood becomes
powerfully bacteriolytic."

PONY MAN
Every Vote Will Be Needed-Ad-
viseS Contestants to Work in
the Evenings,

How many votes will it take to
win? is a question frequently asked
by candidates in The Georgian and
American pony contest.
The answer is that it will take as
many as the candidates can rake and
scrape together by July 81. Certainly
it viii take a few more than your
nearest competitor has, and your
nearest competitor is going to get
just as many as he possibly can, and
probably he is as active and as ener-
getic and has as many friends as
you.
Subscriptions secured now are
worth so much more than they will
be in a few days. when the bonus Of
fer expires, that you can afford to
waste no time.
Here is a suggestion from a con-
testant who is making a splendid
showing;
Don't stop when evening comes
Evening is one of the best times for
getting subscriptions. After the late
meal you will find the man of the
house at home. and at leisure Per
hape he will be reading the newspa,
per. II is an excellent time to ap-
proach him, for he will not be in such
a hurry to be rid of you as he would
be in business hours. Use the tele-
phone to tell him you are coming"
One phase of the contest which
seems to be misunderstood by many
Of the contestants is holding back
votes. It does not pay. II has been
said that all the world loves a lover,
and it is equally true that all the
min
have 100000 votes in hand. and have
voted but 1000 Of them Your name
Is at the bottom Of the list, while the
leader has voted his fully 10000. It is
natural for anyone you approach to
think that you have no chance, and
no one likes to back a loser If, on
the other hand, you show that you
are right up in the running, every
one will feel more inclined to assist.
