COPS and CLERKS TO
PLAY BENEFIT GAME

Nettled by their defeat at the
hands of the light and water de-
partment clerks two weeks ago,
members of the Tacoma police de-
partment baseball team ISSUED a
challenge yesterday afternoon tor
a return game to be played at
Athletic park at 3 p. m. week
from tomorrow, June 10.
The challenge was made by De-
tective Lloyd Kincaid, manager of
the cops ball club, and was I'm
mediately snapped up by Lou
Kreger, chief clerk of the light
and water departments, manager
of that team.
To show their loyalty to the
Tigers, the cops and clerks will
buy Tiger stock with all the pro-
ceeds of the game. An admit
lance charge of rs cents will be
made, and the stock will be
placed In the police pension fund.
The money derived from the game
will assist the Tigers materially
In paying off their debt on the
ball park, and the stock may be-
come valuable to the pension
fund.

Handsomest Movie Star
Also Greatest Athlete

Los ANGELES, June II. -
He's an athlete, q gentleman, a
scholar, and, last but not least,
a motion picture star. Incidental
ly, he's the handsomest man In
the movies. His name? Francis
Xavier Bushman.
Bushman is all man. A Vir-
ginian by birth, therefore a gen..
tleman.
Wrestling is his sport of sports.
He is fond of boxing, but feels
that wrestling Is far more scisn-
tific. Bushman says he can easily
break the back Of any man who
is not familiar with the tricks Of
wrestling. He never allows him
self to go stale; is always in per-
feet physical condition and keeps
his ambition constantly before
him.
1T takes nerve, quickness, ges-
lures, personality, an athletic
body and perfect habits to sue
coed in moving pictures" says
Bushman.
Horseback riding is one Of
Francis Bushman's favorite pas
times. He owns several fiery
steeds. He has a weakness for
songbirds, too.
Small wonder that this young
artist photographs so remarkably
we'll. Good habits and an ath-
letic body-this is the secret of
his success.
His muscles are like case
hardened steel! His eyes are
bright and clear, like the morn
ing sun!

Speedway Date
Is Approaching

With the big Speedway races

A few of the drivers, including

Would you pay $50 for golf
ball? Well. that's the price Tom
Bendelow, q veteran professional
has been offered for one. Bende-
low is inordinately proud of two
golf balls he has in his possession.
They are feather balls, relics of
by-gone days.
The feather ball was the ball
which followed the round stone
- the pellet of the game.
It was first used in the 18th
century but In 1910 was supplant-
Cd BY the gutta ball. 1t was con-
structed Of horsehide stuffed with
feathers.
Briefly. the construction of the
ball was AZ follows:
First the horsehide was sewn
together In the shape of a ball
with small aperture left. After
being turned inside out to put the

A monster crowd is expected.
Those who saw the last game say
1t was the funniest thing they
ever experienced. The sight Of
some of the fat policemen run
ming bases and sliding home was
better than any comedy film that
Charlie Chaplin has yet produced.

FOR AMERICAN RIGHTS AND HUMANITYs

United States renews its requests for
disavowal of intention to sink the Lu-

outrages.
The United States repeats that It
cannot permit the relations between
the European belligerents to operate
in any manner as an abbreviation Of
the rights Of neutrals, and that any
futher violation Of the principles for
which the United States contends will
have to be viewed as an "unfriendly
