old timers help
MITCHELL DRIVE
CUBS near TOP

Fred Mitchell is depending a great
deal on the help Of two veterans to
help him boost the Cubs near the
top in the American league.
They are Jimmie sheckard. left
fielder for the old Cubs in the days
when Frank Chance won three pen
nants IN a row. and the veteran cat
cher, Jimmie Archer.
Sheckard doesn't play ball any
more. but he makes a great right
hand man for Mitchell as a coach
and scout.
Archer will catch a few games this
year, not many. as Mitchell relies
mainly on Art Wilson and Rowdy
Elliott. But Archer is a great coach
for pitchers and can be used as an
emergency catcher when needed.

Apparently ,he Chicago White Sox are
determined not to win a pennant in the
American League and the Giants are
just as firmly set against living up to
expectations.
Ever since it became evident that
Charles Comiskey and Harry Hampstead
are attempting the style in flags the two
teams they have trotted out for public
observation have been unable to put it
over.
This spring the Giants have been on
top Of the National League on an assort-
ment Of days. They have varied these
visits with trips TO second and even
third place.
The White Sox haven't done so we'll.
Their only visits have been scattered
around among the positions beneath
first place. Every day when there has
been a chance for the Chicagoans TO
Chamber over the champions they have
done the opposite and lost along with
the Bostonese.
Today they rest in second place be-
cause they couldn't whip the Senators

"Spider" Used Court Plaster
TO Help JeffrieS Win a Fight
Famous Ring Second VIII Explain tn Trick in Many
Fights and Fighters Which He VIII Write JOURNAL

Spider Kelly. king Of seconds,
pasted strips Of court plaster around
Jim Jeffries eyes TO fool Peter Jack
son, great Negro heavyweight, one
night just before the two men entered
the ring.
Why "The Spider" did this and the
result OF the trick will be explained
by Kelly in one Of many interesting
tales of ring craft and ring heroes.
which he will write for THE EVEN
ING JOURNALS sporting page.
If Kelly had not chosen the ring
for a career. he should have been
master military strategist. His
method OF fathoming the weak spots
OF a boxer was uncanny. Time after
time men whom Kelly was second
ing were not only saved from a
knockout but came on and won their
battles because Of the crafty brain at
work behind them
Practically every great fighter dur
ing Kelly's active work eagerly took
on The Spider" as second ct ono tima
or another.
When seconding a man Kelly did
everything but fight the battle for
him. HIS dark, tensely drawn visage
and flashing eyes, peering from be-
meath heavy eyebrows. have been
familiar sight at most great ring bat
ties of recent times.
Watch for Keliy's yarns. They will
prove short snappy entertaining

UricAcid!

Ever since the discovery of Scheele in
l775 that uric acid was found within the
body-most eminent physicians agree
that rheumatism is caused by it; also
many distressing symptoms as head
swollen feet and ankles, govt, etc.
It was Dr.. Pierce Of the 1nvalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, NY. ;, who discovered new agent
= called Anuric, harmless remedy
that if taken before meals will carry off
the uric acid from the system and in
this way the pains and aches, the cceaky
joints and all the distressing symptoms
Of rheumatism and other maladics dis
appear. You can easily prove this your
sell, by obtaining An1ric at almost any
trial package. Try it and be convinced
that Anuric is many times more active
than lithia and eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar.
