"SMOkEY JOE" WOOD
WORRIED OVER SORENESS
IN HIS PITCHING ARM
cleveland. Juno 12-.smnkeu n

Cleveland, June 1S.-"S Smokey Joe"
Wood, famous as a member of the
Boston Americans and for whose con-
tract Cleveland is reported to have
paid $4,000, is plainly worried over
the soreness in his pitching arm. The
trouble in the elbow and shoulder has
refused to yield to treatment.
Lee Foil, manager Of the Cleveland
team, does not plan to use Wood again
until the sweltering days arrive. Warm
weather, Foil believes, win effect a
cure for Woods trouble.
I viii pitch any time Foil says the
word. Wood said, "but 1t would be
suicide for me to go against club
until I know my arm can stand the
strain. I am a bit discouraged, but
can't believe that am through as a
pitcher. Time, only will tell and must
not try to force matters"
Wood said that after he had pitched
seven innings against New York re-
Gently his arm went cold, and Ii was
Ia tremendous effort TO work the re-
nainder of the game.

Stocky Backstop Gets Three
Hits in Four Trips to
The Plate
NORTHERN LEAGUE.
THE STANDING.

Lefty" Thomas had the goods on
Warren after the second inning, in
which three hits and sacrifice count
ed two runs, and aided by the timely
hitting Of his teammates pitched a 8
to win for Fargo -Moorhead in the
initial game of the series in the Fargo
college stadium Tuesday evening. Both
teams played great game in the field.
1t was one of the shortest games of
the season, being played in one hour
and 40 minutes. Cold, threatening
weather kept the attendance down.
Twins Tie the Score.
Fargo -Moorhead put over two runs
in the fourth, tying the score. Neither
team counted until the seventh, when
long single by Debus brought over
two more. The fifth run was pulled
down in the eighth. -aa.as .
Wilkus for Warren pitched good ball,
good enough to win had he been able
to keep out Of hole.
The game was featured by the ter
rife hitting of Bachant, Fargo Moor
head catcher. He hit safely three Of
four times to the plate, boosting his
average to nine hits in the last II
times at bat Debus and Boardman
each gathered two hits in four times
up.

A want Of scrappiness has never
been a fault of the Giants, because
McGraw does not fall short in that
himself. Muggsy has always had a
way Of dashing up to an umpire at
times of keen transportation and pinch
ing his ear or tweaking his nose.
Something of the sort occurred recent
ly at Cincinnati. So the rest of the
Giants like to do this too. They don't
always go as far as their boss, but
they scowl and mutter at the umpire
and often say mean things to the OPP
posing players. Just to please Muggsy.
Anyone can see that If McGraw
would act as if he had brains the play
ers would try to do the same. At pres
ent they do not act that way enough,
especially when the play is a fast one.
If McGraw would make this change in
his manner 1t would most likely inn
prove the teams play and it would
also interest and astonish the fans.
1t would be the feature Of the sea-
son.

SAYS TWO OUT OF THREE
GEORGIANS BE SELECTED

Georgia has produced an average of
40 men per day for he past five days.
This is a good record and shows that
Georgians are seeing more plainly the
advantages of getting into the Regu-
lar Army at an early date. It GER
tainly is the big chance for promo
ton and should be taken advantage
Of at the earliest possible date.
After the Regular Army is recruited
to full war strength, there will not be
room for others to volunteer. They
must go into the National Army
and lose the big chance for promo
ton and training. Let all Georgians
get together and enlist our quota.
Put Georgia on the Roll of Honor
Attention is again called to the fact
that about 2 out Of 3 men who have
no valid reason to prevent their GO
ing, will be selected Come on now,
Georgians; don't wait. Whatever you
do, be sure to get into the Regulars.
1t is the best-you are losing a great
deal if you fail to take advantage of
it. G.. V. HEIDI,

GAIA and Samson.

princely Philistine cities. and mention
OF it occurs frequently in Bible his.
tory. Figuring prominently in the wars
between the Israelites and the Philis-
tines, it is intimately associated with
the story OF Samson. Indeed, to this
day there is pointed out a strange iso-
lated hill to the south of the city called
El Mmtar, 1.-The watch tower" which
Is claimed to he the hill to which Sam

Marketing
Georgia Products
Andrew M. SouIe, President Georgia
state College of Agriculture.

Upon the business men of the state
rests the responsibility of establish
ing consuming markets for Georgia
products, not only at home, but abroad
also. For instance, one community
last year shipped several hundred car.
loads of sweet potatoes to northern
markets. The individual farmer can
not do work of this kind; the respon-
slDlllty for organization rests with the
business men. There are several Geor-
gla crops which are not appreciated in
northern and eastern markets, simply
because there are no large consuming
markets for these products. An organ
1zed campaign in exploiting the posi-
Dllltles OF these crops would undoubt-
eddy react as favorably as has such
work in connection with cotton seed
and peanut OIL
Educational forces, such as the State
College of Agriculture and it's County
Demonstration Agents, could promote
Investigation with greater rapidity
IN Georgia and aid in the early So
luton of the present food problem il
the business men would "clear the
decks for action" with the statement,
GO tell the farmers to grow the va
rious kinds of food needed and we will
find acceptable markets for all they
produce" At present the educational
character Of the work they are called
upon to perform separates the college
workers in a measure from the mar
keting end of the proposition which
is strictly business question. Unfor-
tunately business men have not been
as aggressive or interested in this
line of work as they should have
been. For this reason the attempts
OF our agricultural college to pro-
mote Investigation have often been
nullified to considerable extent. If
the handicap is removed our agricul-
tural college workers will be able to
perform service work Of the utmost
Importance in the present crisis with
assurance of immediate results. Let
US all stand together-our country de- |
mands it.

You reckless men and women

told by Cincinnati authority to

the moment a few drops are ap-
Piled to any corn or callus the

hits off with the finger.
Freezone dries the moment it
IS applied, and simply shrive1s
the corn or callus without inham-
ing or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very
little at any of the drug stores, but
will positively rid ones feet Of
every hard or soft corn or hard
ened callus. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone he can get it
at any wholesale drug house for
you.-Adv.

A snow white field with a crimson

1t girdles the earth and around again
1t speaks all tongues and it knows
all woes.
And it goes wherever a sorrow goes.
1t is first with the guns and has
breathed the gas
1t passes wherever the armies pass.
1t moves in the wake of the subma-
rine,
And rests by the mines that are laid
between.
In the land of the foes that we fight
to kill, ht
1t is there to wipe the blood we spill.
1t has searched the trenches and
swept the field
Been riddled with shot by the hands
it healed;
But it knows no creed save humanity's
call
And it touches the ends of the earth
for all.

The most difficult part of flying is
landing, according to Brigadier Gen
eral W. S. Brachner of the British
army flying corps. In an address to
the Aeronautical society in England he
said that nearly the whole art Of fly
ing lies in landing, and "a man who
lands well under any conditions will
be able to do anything else in the air
on his own initiative, given sound
nerve" Nothing but experience makes
it possible to land almost anywhere
In bad country with the engines stop

on to strange landing place without
any indication as to the direction of the
wind or the slope of the ground
