Organization Formed In Sacra.
mento BY Coatless League
Advocate

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Aug. =
Harking back TO the days when
man roamed carelessly across green
pastures, unshackl by costly foot
wear. when cool, solid comfort met
the naked foot al every step. and
when corns and bunions were un-
heard Of, four prominent Sacramen-
tans have formed what is to be
known as the Sacramento Barefoot
league.
There are four charter members
of the league, all residents OF Yard
ley-aye. and they are DR. Robert r
Smith. James Mccullough, l.. o.
Lumry and Steve Downey.
The league was organized in quite
an unintentional way Which OF the
four was the originator Is not
known. But 1t Is intimated that DR.
smith for several years advocate
of the Coatless Summer league for
men, had something 10 do with IT.
At any rate. the league has had
several meetings The requirements
of the league are these: No mem
Der must be too modest TO display
his bare feet. He must be without
pedal covering in attending meet
ings He must be willing TO, and
enjoy. walking on his lawn before
the assembled multitude, including
his wife. unshod
He must be willing 10 step into
his neighbours house in his bare
feet aud walk across his neighbors
hardwood floors as nonchalantly as
though he were Pithecanthropus in
the jungles
Several meetings OF the league
have been held at the homes OF the
various charter members on Yard.
ley.ave. The meetings are preceded
by a cool walk upon the lawn OF the
host. As the evening becomes cool
the members retire 10 the host :
drawing room and are entertained
with phonograph selections.
Despite serious objection 10 the
league on the part Of the better
halves in some OF the homes, the
organization has grown and is now
reaching out for congenial spirits.
Keep cool and comfortable and
cure your corns" is the slogan OF
the league

main in the outfeld for the present,
anyhow, Williams being out with a
pair of injured wrists.
As they start this trip the Cubs
are two and a half games back of the
fifth place Pirates and seven games
from the Giants, the ballast Of the
first division. There is little hope for
an advance.
HeiIman, subbing at first for De-
troit, made three singles, double and
triple.
John Evers has been recalled by
the Braves, but will be unable to play
because of trouble with his arm:
Rabbit Maranville is out of commits
sion with wounded hand.
Marty Lamers, a pitcher from Lite
tie Chute, Wis, has been signed by
the White Sox. Ed Walsh looked
him over and declared the kid was a

Johnny Dundee was given the de-
cisiOn over Ever Hammer after 10
rounds of fast milling at Kansas City.
The fight was hot one from the
first gong and both fighters made a
big hit with the fans. Hammer
started after Dundee early and kept
the New Yorker from using his
jumping-jack tactics to advantage.
Dundee slugged with the Chicagoan
after the tenth round. Hammer let
down from the fifth to the twelfth
and this cost him the verdict Neither
man was marked to any extent.
Kid Williams, bantam champ, de-
feated Joe O'Donne1 in six rounds at
Philadelphia. The fight was a furi-
GUS affair and Williams conducted
himself like real champion.

mining games will be good enough.
Griffith is certain to pitch Walter
Johnson and Harry Harper when
the Nationals arrive.
Harper has beaten the Sox every
time he has started against them this
season, and Johnson is pitching bet
ter ball than at any time during the
Campaign. But there is satisfaction
in knowing the other contenders will
be finding the path just as rough.
One encouraging fact for Sox root
Crs is the way Eddie Collins is hit
ting, now that the club has shot at
the top. The star second baseman,
after long effort, has lifted himself
above the 300 mark and is going
higher each day, Weaver is also in
creasing his batting average and Joe
Jackson is pacing steadily at a point
close to 400.
The Sox are showing the effect Of
Kid GleasOn's presence. There is a
general air of alertness and the base
running is much better than it was
the last time the team was at home.
If there is a city series, Larry
Doyle may play second base for the
Cubs. Physicians in Pittsburgh say
his injury is not so serious as was at
first thought and should heal quick
ly. Even should Doyle be out for the
rest Of the season, his playing will
not be affected next year.
There is a modicum of cheerful
ness in that news, and Cubs fans
need every grain of comfort they. can
dig up. Tinker is about to meet the
four strongest clubs in the league
with a makeshift combination, but
one that will be trying to bust the

HEART DISEASE CAUSE
New York, April r. - Richard
Harding Davis, noted war correspOn-
dent and author, is dead. Dropped
dead from heart failure while talking
over the telephone in his home at Mt.
Kisco last night.
Davis was receiving a telegram
over the telephone when stricken
and died Immediately. The author
was about his home yesterday, ap-
parentIy feeling fairly well, though
he has been in poor health for two
weeks.
Davis was born in Philadelphia in
1864. Beginning as a newspaper re-
porter, he attracted attention by his
magazine writings and some of his
short stories were considered models
of English literature. A number of
his works have been dramatized.
Among his we1-known novels were:
Soldiers of Fortune" ''Ransom's
Folly" Gallagher and Other Sto-
ries."
At the beginning of war Davis went
" lIu1OpCs liz DBCA4S DCHC4 al
abroad writing for newspapers and
magazines, and only recently re-
turned from another trip, this time
to the allied front in Southern Ser
bia. He recently contributed num-
Der of articles to Magazines on the
subject of national preparedness.
His present wife was formerly Bes-
sic Mccoy, musical comedy star,
whom he married after his first wife,
daughter of a prominent Chicago
family, divorced him four years ago.
At the time of his marriage to Miss
Mccoy, Davis instead of the usual
honeymoon provided an outing for
several hundred of New YOrk's Door.
Davis was found by Mrs. Davis
beside the telephone, lying on the
floor dead.

DECISION ON PICKET RIGHTS
DUE TO COME TODAY

Appellate Court Judges Pam, Good
win and O'Connor are scheduled to
give a decision today on the right Of
Mattresses union to picket. The case
started two years ago when Henrici's
restaurant was picketed. Carrie
Alexander, Mae Burns and other
pickets were arrested on charges of
disorderly conduct. Ellen Gates Starr
of Hull House was pinched, but on
Jury trial the police failed to show
her guilty of interference with an Of
ficer making an arrest. Mabel Wam+
baugh, another picket, had her arm
twisted out Of it's socket by "copper"
Judges Windes, McGOOrty and Bald
win of circuit court sat en- banc and
handed down an opinion which Sec'y
Lizzie Maloney of the mattresses
union said had no meaning except
that "picketing is lawful if it is law
full" That was March, 1914. What
the appellate court thinks after two
wears will be made known today.
