events to which no title attaches and
the staging OF an amateur champion
ship for men more than 40 years old
will come up for decision, it is said by
Assistant Secretary Higgins. Champ

of any in the history Of American golf.

the Red Cross last summer, and it is
said an effort will be made to repeat
last seasons plans.

AT AZ YEARS OIDIS
THIRD A l.. PITCHER

The surprise of the official pitching
averages was the work of Ed Plank
last season before he quit the Browns
and announced his retirement from
baseball.
At the age of AZ years Plank was
good enough to finish third n the list.
Only CicOtte of the White Sox and
Mays Of the Red Sox outstripped his
efforts.
Plank took part in 20 games and
pitched 131 innings. and held his op-
ponents to an average of 1.79 earned
runs game. Joe Bush, sold recently
by the Athletics to the Red Sox, cas-
lily topped the Shibe park moundsmen
of 1917. He held his rivals to 2.4S
earned runs game.
There is a chance that the Cettys-
burg garage man will return to the
game next season. A fat salary offer
will cause him to do lot of thinking.

RICHARD DISGUSTED
WITH JESS WILLARD

New York, Jan 19.-The attitude of
experienced boxing promoters toward
a battle for the worlds heavyweight
championship may be summed I'D in
statement made yesterday by Tex
Richard. who has promoted the big
gest bouts the country ever saw.
Richard. disguised with Wizards in
and out principles, declared he sees no
chance of staging the mill and will
leave about Feb. l for South Ameri-
ca, where he will spend year on his
ranch in Paraguay.
Il believe the public wants to see
this bout, said Richard. Il believe it
would be the greatest bout in point of
attendance and popularity ever seen.
l figured on it about year ago and
tried to find place to put it on, but
was absolutely unable to locate a
state where the right kind of a bout
could be produced. Ten rounds would
not be sufficient. 1t would have to
be at least 20 rounds and l couldn't
find the proper place.
Willard also has made things too
hard for the promoter 1t isn't worth
the trouble it would take"

AGAINST RULES
Business Manager of Louisville Club
Opposes Recent Rough Ball Leg.
islatiOn Passed.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 19.-ThOmas NJ
Chivington, business manager of the
Louisville club, is opposed to the anti
freak pitching delivery legislation
passed by the American Association
at it's last meeting. The former presi-
dent of the association has considered
the new ruling from many angles.
81 have learned" he said, that It
is impossible for the manufacturers
to get the same high grade of leather
they used to. The new leather, being
inferior, doesn't stand up under
knocks as the old did.
"The rule against roughing the ball
is impossible to enforce, because you
can't keep the baseball of today from
becoming rough. AS soon as it gets a
little 'wingy' a smart pitcher takes ad-
vantage of it. He rubs the smooth side
against his clothes, not to roughen it
but to smooth it. The other side of the
ball, which is scraped or 'wingy,' gives
him the emery ball.
Suppose an umpire finds one of
these roughened balls in the hands Of
a pitcher he knows doesn't doctor the
hC luiC says lhdt hC Auuol uhC
him $25. The umpire has the goods
on him, and if he does his duty he will
have to tack on s25 fine every time
he finds a roughened ball. You don't
need this special legislation to prevent
the emery or rosin balls. The rules of
the book are sufficient to stop it now"
The Colonies business manager has
another protest against the anti-spit
ball ruling.
Too Abrupt.
Its too abrupt" said Chivington.
Such rule ought not to be made eff
fective until year after its passage,
so as to enable the teams to build up
in the meantime. 1t would also give
the spitball pitchers time to develop
something to take the place of their
best asset.
about one-third of the pitchers in
the American Association are 'spitters.
If you have to discard the spitball you
increase your task of replacing them.
You can't buy other spitball pitchers.
1t limits the field in which we can op-
crate"

LET'S CLOTHE THE BOYS
Anne Arundel's Quota of Fourth Lib
erty Loan will Furnish Apparel
for Soldiers

Although Anne Arundel has helped
do it's part to furnish the boys that
Uncle Sam needs to win the war, those
of us who have not been called upon
to fight, must do our share to see that
these boys are not only supplied with
the necessary implements of warfare,
but that they are properly clothed
and feed. We can do this only by lend
ing our money to Uncle Sam in the
form of buying Liberty Bonds.
Every boy we have sent across, or
to one of the training camps, before
he is completely equipped in the way
of clothing, needs an outfit which
costs the Government $63.51. Anne
Arundel's quota of the Fourth Lib
erty Loan, which amounts to $500 900,
If it were all used to purchase cloth
ing for our soldiers would equip 12,-
592 men with the apparel they need.
While this is some more than have
answered the call to arms from this
city, let us raise the money needed
to clothe at least this number. Re-

into clothes, other cities must help
supply the funds for. food, ammuni-

and all of the other expenses the war
entails.
There is a long and hard winter
coming on and you do not want TO feel
that any Anne Arundel boy now in
France and very likely in the trench
es is going to suffer because you have
not done your very best in buying
bonds to help raise the money neces-
sary. Let's oversubscribe our quota
so no one will have any reason to

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tabiets-the substi.

These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth!
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
