Coming of National League
Teams Means the TWirIers
Must Show All Their Best
Blenders.
Close Bead viii Be Drawn on
Their Work by Manager
When They Oppose Other
Major Clubs.
: By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Beginning with Hopper and En-
gel today, I'm going to try out all
my pitchers against real opposition"
said Manager Clark Griffith today.
"Georgetown and Yale are pretty
good college teams, but the real test
my pitchers will have will be against
the National League teams. Satur-
day we play the Phillies. Beginning
then, my pitchers will have to show
all they have to hold their jobs.
"Pitching in practice games among
ourselves doesn't amount to much.
Several players on the second team
know the signs of the first team and
that cuts in. But as soon as the
National Leaguers begin to play US,
then I'll have good chance to dope
out the boys to stick"
Booth Hopper, who is sent against
Georgetown today. is the pitcher who.
according to the Feds, was traded for
a dog" by Roger Bresnahan. Inasmuch
as Bresnahan was not in charge OF the
say this trade was made, Hopper's con-
tention that it never happened listens
pretty good. He was with st. Paul
last year and considered one of the
three best pitchers in the American
washington fans will be interested in
seeing Hopper because Of his reputa-
ton as knuckle ball pitcher. He has
a beautiful knuckle ball delivery, using

FIGURE UMPIRE
AS DRAWING CARD

Did you ever hear Of a league
hiring an umpire as a drawing
card? Well, that's what hap
pened to Gerald Ryan, who
used to guess them in the
American Association. Gerald
used to play ball in the Texas
League long ago and made
quitesa rep. This season he's
going back to the Texas League
as chief umpire at the high
est salary the league ever paid
because at a recent meeting
of the league magnates it was
decided that Gerald is we'll
known among Texas League
fans and is we'll liked, hence
would be an added attraction
as a drawing card. Can you
beat that? Hank O'Day, Rig
ler, and Klein, please take no.

heard in the controversy between the
Milwaukee club president and George
Febeau. Answering Tebeau's threat to
form an independent league unless a

sought an independent alliance 1t would
have to be with semi-pro league in

After playing three matinees in Jack
Dunns mountainous baseball auditor
ium, the Nationals Rre copiously quail
fled to bust forth and cop the Alpine
climbing pennant. A ball hit on the
floor hops around as orratically as ant
on a hot rock. The infield Is go cor
rugated that even a base on balls Is IL
able to bounce badly and hit the bat
ter in the ear. The only, smooth thing
about the Richmond ball park is the
manner in which Dunn makes excuses
for same. Jack has the nucelus for
good grounds as the foul line is as wide
as any In the big leagues.

An Appalling Statement

Seven hundred thousand people died in
these United States during the year 1911
from the effects of alcohol--a greater
number than were killed in the COM
bined wars of the world for twenty
years previous to that date. And 1t is safe
to estimate that the same number have
died annually from the same cause since
1911 This is not only appalling. but
heart rending, and should serve to put
the habitual and periodical drinker on
guard. II you have formed this death
dealing habit. or, having formed 1t, are
its unwilling yet yielding slave, break
away! The happiness of these you love,
who love you, your life, your souls sal
walton, are at stake. All that you can
cali your own lies in this-today! To-
ntC rrow Is Eternity. Kin-Po win help

you. Call. write or phone for literature.

AS LADIES OF ELKDOM
BISBEE WOMEN ARE
CLUBDOM LEADERS
Their Social Successes Thus Far
Won Prompt Them to Give a
Dance at Lodge Friday Even
ing.

Without loss of time the Ladies of
Elkdom have taken their position in
the social life of the fraternal and
other similar organizations Already
they are not satisfied to merely enter
tain themselves alone. and are ar
ranging amusement and entertain
ment for others.
Invitations have been issued by the
Ladies Of Elkdom to dance which
they will tender in the Elks Lodge
room tomorrow evening It was not
deemed necessary to send such invi
tations to the Elks or to the Ladies of
Elkdom for the former are expected
to participate in all such festivities
as this that are held in their home
and the latter are included as a mat
ter of course since it is they, them
selves. who are rendering the dance.
Hence invitations issued only to non
Elks and to ladies not members Of the
new organization.
When the Elks give a dance, the
invitations issued are addressed only
to the men, Mr.. William Elks and
ladies are invited" etc, but the ladies'
have not been so ignored by the La
dies Of Elkdom, If you please. On the
contrary invitations have been issued
alike to men and women. The secre-
tary of the association states that the
ladies' have decided TO make a charge
of 81 per couple for the purpose of de.
fraying expenses.
Attendance at the Wednesday meet
ings Of the Ladies Of Elkdom have
been excellent considering that the
start was made in midsummer II
was not expected that they woulC
throng TO the home at the outset but
at each meeting the attendance ha!
been good, every one present express
ing satisfaction that such an organi
cation had received its start and en-
joyment of the social session tina
had been held A 800" tournamen
has been arranged and it is certain
that the ladies days at the Elks hom
have come to stay and will achiev
a steadily growing popularity.
