plotted than is customary In features
starring this favorite. His six-shoot-

more upon straight acting than mere

He exhibits no manly qualities until
the germ of love blossoms forth. En-
ragged at his own weakness and the
disarrangement of his life's philos-

which a pure woman's character ex-

Of Six National Titles

III. long-distance swimming cham
pionship in Detroit proved a fitting
climax to the superb work this re-
markable young mermaid has been
doing all year. She now has to her
credit six national free-style titles at
22O, 440, 500, $50 yards, one mile,
and long distance, something never
before attained in the field of water
sports for m That her laurels
were won on merit. because OF supe-
rior ability. is demonstrated by the
fact that she holds national records
all the way from the furlong to the
mile.
In this district the sensational
speed of Miss Galligan has hardly
been fully appreciated, because of the
fine rivalry of her teammate, Miss
Charlotte Boyle, who has captured
the only two other national free-style
titles on the A. A. u. list, at so and
100 yards. But let It be remembered
that the latter has recently defeated
at most distances Miss Dorothy Burns
of San Francisco, all-round champion
of the Pacific coast, and at a furlong
Miss Elizabeth Ryan of Philadelphia,
who a few weeks ago took the meas
Iure of the famous Miss Olga Dorfner
of h same city In the race for the
middle Atlantic title at this distance.
So Miss Galligan accomplished real
feats In leading home Miss Boyle by
a small margin in the 220-yard ma

ing ones over the longer courses.

Johnny EVeTs, interviewed IN
France, Says Old Regime
Is Dead
BY EDWARD M. THIERRY.
(Paris> Correspondent of the News
paper Enterprise Syndicate.)


PARIS, Sept. 1s-Revolutionary re-
organization of baseball will be newt
able after the WARMTH major league
teams recruited exclusively from men
who have fought for Uncle Sam in
France.
That is the radical statement made
to the n. E.. A. representative In
Paris by Johnny Evers, for many
years a big league star and member
of several worlds champion teams;
Ever is now in france, attached
to the Knights of Columbus overseas
unit, promoting baseball among
American soldiers and teaching the
French how to play the American ma
tional game.
They say the soldiers of this wa
will be a power in politics back home
after its over" Evers said, quite
likely-but put q bet down hat the
big power in the reorganization of
professional baseball.
Baseball will never be as 1t was
before-the same old stars drawing
fabulous salaries. The game has re-
ceived its death blow till the war is
Overland won for democracy. And
the big league stars of the future.
and of the minor leagues. too, OF
course-are the doughboys playing
here within the sound of the guns, In
the rest and recuperation camps and
in the innumerable American military
centers scattered over France.
Boys never heard of in baseball are
going to go back home not only with
bright military records, but -possessors
of baseball fame earned In games
snatched between battles.
I'D almost be willing to bet that
after the war the baseball TAM in the
major and minor league circuits will
