The Annual Overcoat Contest

The annual fall overcoat contest BE-
tween Willie and his mother is on.
1t is accentuated this year by Spanish
influenza germs which mother sees
crowding the atmosphere by millions
with wide-open jaws.
Willie still is sticking to his sleeve
less, gauze underwear. He considers
wool next the skin as the brand Of a
Sissy" and would rather snufhe his
way through a month Of bleak, raw
days than surrender to it's cffeminizing
touch.
An overcoat he holds to be the in
sigma of "super Sissy" and resolutely
rejects 81 can't run fast in it, an l
can't throw a ball." he complains Bit
tcrly. Once or twice when he has
donned it under compulsion he has been
discovered playing ball on the corner
lot in a north wind with the coat de-
posted on brick pile.
Each morning he quietly slides for
the front door in the freedom of over
ooatless boyhood. Every time he is

overcoat; the paper says colder; there
are five cases Of influenza in this block
and Larry Smith hasn't been to school
for a week. Look at George Brown
going past. He's got his overcoat on"
SO runs the protest as mother stands
in the hall presenting the ignoble gar
ment.
"oh. shucks!' says Willie, "l'm warm
enough; Pm sweating already TN
make me late for school if I wear that
thing cause l can't run fast enough
TO get there on time. Who cares what
George Brown does? He's simp any

And so the dialogue goes. Sometimes
Willie surrenders. Then the suspicious
maternal eye, following to the corner,
like as not sees him doff the degrading
badge and carry it over his arm. FREE
quently mother gives in through lack
of breath and despairingly throws the
coat over chair with a final: Don't
blame me if you get pneumonia"
But youth is enduringly warm
bloodcd and Willie comes through with
nothing worse than chronic snufAes
which the family comes to regard az
his normal condition.
Willie is hardening himself for the

A Stray Dog
Brought Idea

"A Dogs Life" in which Char
lie Chaplin is appearing at the
Melbourne theater, was selected
after q process of elimination
had been employed. A half
dozen scrips were cast aside as
unsuitable after the comedian
had started to work on them.
1t was a stray mOngrel that
first gave Chaplin the idea. The
dog came to his studio and stayed
around, and the star thought out
the idea of employing the pup in
the picture. Their devotion to
each other in their hard luck
makes just the proper touch of
pathos to bring out Chaplin's hui
NOR. This is the first of eight
pictures which will earn Chaplin
$1,O0O,000 In cold cash. .

Melbourne bill Virginia Pearson

Pat Moran unleashes a lot more
baseball than he so far has been
able to trot out for the inspection
of the Giants, the blame for a long
lead on the National league pen
nant will be chargeable within
few days directly to the eastern
wheel of Gov. John X. Tener's
circle of ball clubs.
So far, the Giants have met only
the weak eastern clubs of the
league. And so far the Giants
have tossed off just one matinee,
the honor for which belongs to
Larry Cheney, spitballist Of the
Brooklyn Dodgers.
The Phillies have used up Frs

the McGraw hordes. Moran has
one ace left in the hole in Jos
Oeschger and an alleged ace In
Bradley Hogg. Maybe they can
stop the Giants and maybe they
can't.

more and more evident that the
White Sox are going to be forced
into a sincere reckoning with the
Boston Red Sox before they cut
their initials on another American
league championship

It's Not
All Comedy

Up there in the land Of the MID
night sun, among rough men WHO
have gone to the fringes Of civil
cation is the scene of Sour
dough Nell laid. Right merrtly
is the song comedy with dramatic
situations put across for a hit at
the Oak theater this week by the
Follies company.
Not all of 1t is comedy either
for there are a few dramatic epi-
sodes that heighten the fun Of
the piece. The big scene is laid
in an Alaska dance hall where the
girls of the place and the rough
miners have a round of gaiety.

coma Tigers. Those IA TALES
piled up by the Bengals while the
Indians were bringing in a lone
one looked discouraging for
starter, but Nick says he expects
to win some games at that.
II was all over but the shout
ing after the opening frame, when
the Tigers thru a series of base
hits and costly bungles, scored up
five runs. In the face of the
big crowd that sat in the sunshine
at Athletic park, the Indians ap-
peared to be stagestruck.
The Tigers went on another
rampage in the eighth with ter
rifle batting rally. Seven more
runs were piled up after IL men
had faced Battiste, who was pick
ed to do the tossing for Spokane
at the opening. At the start of
the game everybody had the idea
that Billy Speas' Bengals were
good, but at the end of the ninth
were the best in the league. The
fielding of the Tigers was perfect,
their hitting just as good or bet
ter, and Herman Pillett, with
great support, pitched in fine
style.
After Mayor-elect c. NJ. Riddell
had displayed the skill of his left
wing, tossing the first ball into
Stevens big glove on the hand of
Commissioner-elect Harrison. the
Indians tried their luck, but failed
to score in their half.
Chief Battiste was wild when
the Bengals started their inning.
Cable walked. Wright sacrificed
and Billy Speas got the first Tiger
base hit of the season, driving
Cable across the plate. Then
Daniels walked and Stevens got
scratch hit. Bases full. Daubert
forced Speas at home, but reached
first. Then it was that Wilson
started off his career by pounding
out a single to left. Bourg let
the ball go thru his legs, and be-
fore he could find it Daniels, Stes-
ems, Daubert and Wilson had cross
ed the plate.
In the eighth, Herm Pillett
started things going with a Ions
double to left field. Gable fol-
lowed with a similar one. Wright,
Daniels and Daubert also hit safe
ly, and with Griffin assisting with
two boots and Shoots with one, the
score looked like IA.
The Indians got their lone ruh
in the fourth. Hollocher and
Neigh bors hit safely. Marshall
hit to third and Neighbors was
forced at second, Hollocher ad-
vancing to third. While some of
the Indians were arguing Holloch-
err got a big lead for home and
went across for a tally. Umpire
Colgate wouldn't listen to the Zig
er protest.
The Bengals got two in their
half of the fourth. with Speas and
Hoffman both hitting safely.
Either Jack Clayton or Heinie
Menth will start the game on the
mound for the Tigers this after
noon, says Manager Speas. Young
Breton. Montana sensation, prob
ably will start for the Indians.

DRIVER
DIVIDES HONOR

(United Press Leased wire.b
WITH THE AMERICAN
ARMY IN FRANCE, May 1.
Captain Norman Hall and
Eddie Itickenbacher, Ameri-
can aviatOas, yesterday divid-
ed the honor of destroying
German plane over the Ger
man lines. Each mOdestly
gives the other entire credit
for the feat.
The German plane, an Alba
tross, was sighted about 6 O'CLOCK
in the evening at a height of
1880 meters.
AS the two Americans arose TO
the attack, the enemy machine
opened fire and fled. The Ameri-
cans pursued the Albatross over
the enemy INES, firing several
hundred rounds.
The German machine suddenly
dived to earth, spouting flame and
smoke.
The Americans by this time

planes were struck by bullets
fired by German infantrymen, but
they returned safely to the Amer
lean lines.
Hall, whose home is in Col
fax, Iowa, was formerly mem.

has several enemy planes to his
credit.
Rickenbacher is a former auto
mobile race driver and formerly
drove General Tershing's car. Ills
home is In Columbus, Ohio. This
was his .irst victim.
Eddie Rickenbacher, famous
speed king who is now showing
the Huns some of his ability as
an able and daring driver, has
been a favorite in Tacoma, ap-
pearing in the races at the Tacoma
speedily.
At the speedway two years ago
Eddie drove away with the laurels
in a contest with the fastest drv-
ers in the country, putting up a
great exhibition of skill.

They were on the right end of
the line where the Huns con-
centrated their attack. Griswold
is also said to have led the at
tack that drove the Germans out
Of the temporary foothold they
had obtained.

he played football on the high

In Fast
Battle


may come, and bouts may
go, but it'll be a long season
before the followers of the
padded mitt see a better con-
test than that i'm which Frank
Farmer. coast heavyweight
champion from kapOwsin,
was given draw with MiclSy
King, idol Of Seattle fans, in
the main go of the Arena
program last night.
The men battled thru four Of
the fastest rounds ever on tap in
this little village.
In the semi-windup Chef Neff
and frankie Tucker drew after a
whirlwind session; Frank Murphy,
coast flyweight champion, won the
verdict over Billy Ryan, the
plucky little Portlander; Wildcat
Leonard sent Red Morgan, of
Butte, on the long sleep, and Soi-
der Joe Hill drew with frankie
Pete.
A Great Contest.
But the titbit of the show was
the King-Farmer session. Seldom
do two men stand up and swap
swings as clever Micky and the
tough Tacoman did in the scrap.
To a last minute rally, in
itiated just when the Wild
eyed King supporters thought
the champion was going to
take the big dive, Farmer
owes his title.
After King hooked and jabbed
and slashed away to a clear lead
in the first three rounds, Chef
Mcintyre sent the big logger in
to do or die. And Farmer did.
He stood up and snapped punches
with the Australian, taking a
blow to land one, and fighting
like mad.
With the two men mixing in
the center Of the ring, the bell
rang. And Referee Schacht, fig
uring that Farmer had earned a
draw, called it an even decision.
A lot of fans protested, but
after thinking it over most of
them gave Farmer credit for a
game comeback, which entitled
him to an even verdict.
After Kings showing last night
it's cinch that Caruso Dan will
make no mistake by matching the
Antipodes boy against Jack Dill
Ion when the giant killer from the
East hangs his hat up in this
town.

in the auto racing game because
he loved it, rather than for the
money. A college graduate, he
