hard as nails. Iheard Banker Haskell
say that the training and discipline
the boys had had was exactly what
every boy in the country ought to
have, and that now these boys could
get better job at higher pay than
they could have had before. Do you
think that's so, Uncle Dan?"
Uncle Dan replied: 81 have a
friend who employs hundreds of young
men. He always gives boys having
had military training the preference;
he says it pays to do so. He finds
they are more alert, more prompt,
more courteous; they know how to
carry out orders; they are quicker to
think and to act than those without
training. He said from his experience
he believed that six or eight months

Manager Harry Jarboe. of the GAY
ETY. Theater, announces that a wrest-
ling event of more than ordinary in
terest will take place at his theater
on the evening of Monday May 81.
when Joe Turner. the local favorite,
will meet Jack Ozar. and wrestle him
for middle-weight championship Ozar
now holds that title, having met and
defeated Turner at Lebanon, Pa. on
April 80, after three hours Of spectac-
ular wrestling, when Ozar succeeded
in pinning Turner's shoulders to the
mat. The referee was George Fisher,
of New York
Turner announced publicly at that
time that the match was fairly won.
and added that Ozar has shown great
Improvement since his last bout with
him in New York last fall when Tur-
ner forced him to quit after a jitsu
arm hold.
An exciting contest is expected next
Monday night for the reason that Tur-
ner will exert every effort to regain
the belt so long in his possession.

Griffmen Take Third Game
Of Series from Cleveland
Nationals Hammer Pitcher
Bagby and Hand Him First
Setback of Season.
BY JOHN A DUGAN

Cleveland. May 12.-Grirs Ationals
finally win
The first victory of the fro tier in
vasion was claimed by the Capital City
clan here today when Bert Gallia, the
Texas tornado, turned in a three-hit
game with Lee Fohl's Redskln tribe on
the short end OF a 4-to-1 count
The longest skull practice of the
season was held at the headquarters of
the Old Fox in the Olmsted Hotel this
morning, with the result that the
serappy band from the Potomac got
down to real work and handed Jim
Bagby his first setback Of the season.
The Nationals clouted Bagby for
nine safe blows, and 1t was only the
new hundred thousand dollar combina-
tion Of Chapman to wambs ganss to
Guisto" that killed the Griffmen's
chances OF registering at the counting
block on more occasions than four, as
a double play in the second and a
wonderful force out in the ninth held
down the registering of tallies by the
Nationals.
This leaping tornado from the Lone
star State sure had something more
than zip on the ball today. as two Of
the trio of hits registered of his de-
livery were scored safe blows accord
ing to the Cleveland system. GalIia's
curve ball was working in perfect or
der, as his effectiveness In the pinches
stood out prominently, as only one of
the six free passes he issued counted
in the Indians run-getting. The
mighty Spoke" Speaker obtained the
only clean blow on the big Texan in
the sixth inning, when he poled out his
second bingle in the last twenty-three
trips he has made to the plate.
The Nationals started carry on Bag
hW Enafar frfn1aA - rf0he Aa1A -
the opening inning, but died when Mi
Ian forced him at the plate. In the
fourth Rice started with a single and
moved to second on Smiths sacrifice.
Morgan beat out an inheld tap, which
held Rice at second, but the Nationals
were not to be denied. as Sammy
Crane, who answered the hurried call
from the Capital City, when Mcbride
was injured, came through with a
timely crash to center field and Rice
beat Speakers throw to the plate.
The Indians eyened the score with
out a hit in their half. as Ray Chap
man showed a little Of the Ty Cobb
speed on the bases. Gallia passed
Chapman and when Speaker was at
tempting to place one safe Chapman
stole second. On the hit and run. in
which Henry outguessed the Indians,
Chapman went to third and scored
when Crane threw Roth's grounder
over Henry's head.
Joe Judge opened the fifth by hitting
the right field screen for three bases.
and scored when Wambsganss retired
Foster at the initial corner on the best
fielding play OF the day.
Ray Morgan settled all questions of
the result of the game in the eighth.
when he came through with a timely
base blow Just out of the reach of
Chapman. Rice started by { 'awing a
base on balls and went to third on
Smiths clout to center. Elmer took
the keystone cushion on Speakers
throw to third and both runnrrs scored
when Morgan placed the bal through
the inner trenches of the IND ans. The
score:

Local Teams S Boss VIII Make
Complaint to the American
League Headquarters.
BY JOHN A. DUGAN.

Cleveland. Ohio. May la-ClArk GRIT
nth has always been known 70 followers
Of the National pastime as a foxy bird
but now, he is being termed a human
crab"
The Old Fox is not attempting in any
way TO steal any OF the copyrights OF
the famous Johnny Evers. Of ChicaEo
Cubs and Boston Braves fame. but 70
the Umpires handling the series here,
Grin is the biggest and best crab that
has ever stepped his foot on a diamond.
Ever since Fred Coumbe put through,
his ncorice splitter in the first game
here Grin has been on the Cleveland
pitchers about their deliveries sno
moistened balls
The Old Fox has called attention TO
the wetting OF the bail, TO Umpires
Connolley and Mccormick on q number
Of occasions. but TO date neither have
taken any action.
The darNing Of the horsehide when the
pitcher is using a fast ball makes Il
look great deal like the emery heave
and has proven quite q puzzle 70 the
National swatmen. Gri1's complaint OF
the Indian pitchers practcing the dark
ing OF the horsehide, came TO a climax
here today when he called on Umpire
Connolley TO halt Jim Bagby in his ef-
forts of splitting on the ball
Connolley insisted that Grin first IN
spect the ball and then after taJdnF q
slant at Il himself he put Il back in
play This did not satisfy the Old Fox
and he claimed tonight that he will issue
a complaint to the American League
headquarters in reference TO this ucoriced
splitter which is being used by all the
Indian moundsmen.
Mike Menoskey the utility outhelder,
who the Nationals purchased from Joe
CantQlon, has Joined the hospital Iisu
with Capt George Mcbride. The fleet
footed outhelder has a badly Wrenched
neck and will not be able to take part
in any OF the games until early next
week.
Mike was injured in a friendly wrestling
bout with Eddie Charity. in the club
house the day the Nationals left Wash
ington. and as no Improvement is shown
in his injury. he was put under the cary
OF a doctor today. There are no legiments
wrenched and Menoskey will no doubt
be back in uniform within the next few
days
Uncle Nick Altrock has made quite .
hit with the Cleveland fans with a new
stunt which he is pulling. The little Ger
man phoy is now preparing for the
bombs that may be dropped by the Ger
man sirplAnes by allowing all hy balls
10 hit him on top Of the doom OF
course he Is knocked out By the blow.
but he generally completes the play BY
catching the ball
Elmer Smith is still having his troubles
in the sun garden. The Ohio farmer to-
day dropped O'Neil's ny in the NTH
inning. when IL crossed between the rays
of Old Sol. and Howard ShsnkG was
placed in his position.
Jimmy Shaw. who has had four DAYS
rest. will be placed against the Indians
tomorrow, while Covelesld will draw the
assignment for Cleveland.

FROM WAIST UP-BUT

New York, May 12.-Jim Cofrey is a
husky looking battler when he climbs
through the ropes encased in his big
robe. And when he strips of for action
ne displays wonderful physique-from
the waist up. But Jim's underpinning is
altogether out of proportion. He is COM
paratively spindle-legged for a man of
his size. and he looks top-heavy in the
ring. In his recent battle with Carl
Morris in New York Coffey found his
pins sagging under him every time Nor
ris commenced the hammer-and-tongs
stun at close quarters, and toward the
end of the bout Coffey was all in. He
rallied in the tenth round, but his punches
lacked steam. If Coffey had a pair OF
stills under him like Morris, he would
be much better battler Morris would
pulyerize him in long battle.
