Miller, you know. is the astute leader
Of the st. Louis Cardinals. He had
been roughly treated in the opening
game Of the double-header with the
Robins, who Tailed twelve runs while
the visitors were whitewashed. So. in
the second game. which ended In .
4 to victory for the Robins. he de-
cided on strategy. Here is how IL
worked:
The Robins had scored a run in the
second, when 0'Rourke. after getting
two sacks on Hornsby's wild throw to
first of his grounder. scored on Mar
guards bunt, which Specs Meadows
overran. Then. in the fifth inning,

Higgins Tries Strategy

Kruger led off with two bases and
went to third on Rube's sacrifice. He
was run down on 0lson's grounder to
Baird, ole taking second. Then came
Jake Daubert. Jake. in his many years
in the game, has driven in probably
fewer runs than any player who has
amsssed half his batting average. Yet
the astute Higgins ordered Meadows
to pass him. and the stands chortled
sarcasticaliy. Up came Hi Myers. the
batting demon of the Robins. Specs
shot one toward the plate waist high.
Myers met il solidly. IL shot past Bet
eel, in centre, like bullet, and Hi.
racing like the wind. crossed the plata
behind DGubert and Olson.
That ended the Robins scoring. Tho
Cardinals were never dangerous except
in the second. when the crowd clam
ored for Rube's scalp. after the bases
were loaded. with one down. But the
next two men were easily retired.
In the premiere the Robins batted
Doak and Mays at will. Pferer pitched
perfect ball, allowing but two hits. one
Of these scratch, which he felded
slowly. The other bounced off Olson's
glove.
O'Rourke started the scoring in the
third when he was hit. He was safe AZ
second when Miller dropped Hornsby's
throw on Millcr's grounder. After
Pfeffer famed O'Rourke scored on Oh
sons single.
Mr.. Doak sought the showers in the
sixth. when six runs were Tailed by
the Robins.

HER BACK ACHES
A Woman Finds All Her Energy and
 Ambition Slipping Away.

Some women know how the aches and pains that often come when the kidneys fail make life burden. Back ache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy spells. distressing urinary troubles. are frequently indications of weak kidneys and should be checked in time. Doan's Kidney Pills are for the Kidneys only. They attack kidney diseases by striking at the cause.
 Can Alaska sufferers desire strong CT proof than this woman's word?
 Mrs. s. o. Turner 60s1a Tenth st., Sacramento, Cal, says: q underwent three operations and this severe strain, together with colds, affected my kidneys. I had pain through my back and could hardly stoop over for if l tried to, pains caught me. My back and limbs were so stiff couldn't move. My kidneys acted too often. Doan's Kidney Pills have always promptly relieved me of every attack of kidney suffering"

 There are scores of Hindu words which the soldier has appropriated for himself. such as "atcha," all right; ''dhobie," washerwoman, "dhersey, tailor; "kn aphi." the barber; "garrywaller,' generally a transport driver, and many others.
 The war in the air has likewise evolved a new language of it's own. Hundreds of quaint and peculiar words are in use among the airmeh, and the list is being added to daily. No airman ever thinks of talking about a flight for example. Flip" is the word he uses. For an allied air man to attack a German Zepp is to "spike'boozle" him. "Huffed," mean ing got killed, is another character istic airman's word. Of the same meaning is the phrase, "He hasn't come back for his cap"
 Another common expression among the airmen is "hockboo," which means a good many things, but chiefly that enemy aircraft is about If Zeppelins or Taubes are on their way "hock- boo" is 'on." Anything in fact that is calculated to give the timid "cold feet" is "hockboo. The word is really a distortion of an Indian word mean ing eagle. .-EX.

Undoubtedly one of the first things the American soldiers will learn when they get into the trenches will be the goodly assortment of nicknames and slang phrases to which the war has given birth. English, French Italians, Canadians, Australians, New Zealands and last but not least, the Hindus. have contributed to the immense vo- cabulary of army slang with which every soldier at the front is familiar, Based on past performances, as the dope sheets say, the Americans may be expected to add another entire volume to the vocabulary, for in no other country of the world do so many expressive slang words and phrases originate as in the United States.
 The American soldier won't be many hours at the front before he will hear the quartermaster referred to as soldier bloke,' and he will quickly get to know that "gunfire" is not gunfire at all, but the early morn ing drink of tea or coffee which he will get if he is lucky.
 At the base he will hear of people who have the wind up" or whose are windy" which is equivalent to the  American term of having "cold feet" He will hear the enemy referred to as Fritz" "Alleymen," 'Boche" and sev- eral other designations that would scarcely look we'll in print.

A Head swing CT" is he who is shamming sickness in order to dodge the column," but army doctors are not easily deceived, and there are few Head -swingers' nowadays.
 Leaving the base for the trenches is termed ''going up the line" which will not sound unfamiliar to the American ear. The soldier from the states also will readily become ac- customed to Jack Johnsons," 'whizz- bangs" and "coal boxes," and not content with calling his hole in the ground a dugout, he will learn to call it a "tamboo" and many other names

 General Goethals told the committee that air craft and artillery will be the deciding factor in the great strug- gle and delivered strong urge that the attention of the military commit tee be devoted primarily toward the perfection of those branches of mili- tary equipment.
 Goethals also recommended the creation of a central authority to take full charge of aeronautics.
