SOX ROAD "TRIP A SUCCESS
DETROIT IN GOOD POSITION
BY Mark Shields


thy with the kids when school opens.
Three straight games from St
Louis made the road trip Of the
White Sox a success, ten victories
being recorded against nine defeats.
Tomorrow the Rowlands come home
to open against the Cleveland In
dams in long stand that covers 20
games. The Sox today stand exact
ly where they were when they in
vaded Boston nearly three weeks
ago, two and a half games from the
lead.
But the fly in the ointment is the
position of the Detroit Tigers, a
game and a half above the Sox and
off on one Of the fighting rampages
that made the Tigers of old unbeat-
able. Jennings has two or three
pitchers in effective form and the
other slabSters receive such batting
support that they do not need to hurl
air-tight ball. .-
The three straight defeats for the
Browns pushed Jones' people two
st. Louis is not out of the running.
The team hasa protraCted series at
home and is in position to start such
a drive that brought it from seventh
place during is last home stand.
From a.Sox stand point, the most
encouraging feature of yesterday
was the pitching of Joe Benz, who
allowed three hits and famed ten.
Should Joe be able to duplicate this
feat against other teams than the
Browns and Macks he enhances the
chance of the Rowlands to land in
the van.
As the teams stack up now, De-
trOit looks the best of the westerners.
Jennings crew has walloped every
thing it has faced recently. It
pushed back Cleveland easily and

Reflections on the Life of D. E. Jacobs

Editor Tribune | read with sorrow
of the death of Comrade Jacobs, whom
had known and was intimately acquaint-
ed with for over forty years. During all
this time | never knew an act of his
that was unworthy or deserving of crit
icism, nor have | ever heard any man
question his honesty of purpose or sug-
gest the imputation. in any of his pri-
vate or public transactions, from the
time ! first knew him, before he located
in Mineral Point.
Can it be possible that we are not to
be privileged to meet again while pass
ing through this vale of tears Ny
whole heart goes out in mourning with
the loved ones, and while | remember
his many acts of kindness, both in a
friendly and brotherly form, I'm asking
a Borrowing heart today, can |, and
how, ever repay. God grant that may
be permitted to lend helping hand to
some dear comrade on the way,

IL was interesting to note the en-
thusiasm with which the merchants are
signing the petitions for the passage
of the kinebaugh bill before congress
which provides for "a local tax on all
goods sold by mail order houses in the
states where they are sold. 1t is said
that such tax two percent is the
rate normal would mean a revenue of
three or four thousand dollars to Iowa
county alone. A nation wide campaign
is being made to get signatures and if
all the solicitors meet with success, the
the merchants of the United States
viii have expressed themselves very
forceably in favor of such a law.
