Its quite certainty that none would
have acclaimed Kerr as much of a hero.
His friends would have pointed out that
he shut out the Reds in. the first start,
but the opposition would have pointed
out-with force-that Kerr was badly
bruised and battered in his second out
ing; that Kerr was just a one game
pitcher against the Reds.
But the game didn't end that way.
The Sox won it. The Reds, assuming
they had a comfortable lead in the
sixth, began to burlesque. Before they
realized the error of their ways, the
Sox crashed into Reuther and his sue
cesser for three runs, and tie. And
then they carried on until the tenth,
where they smashed over the winning
rally giving Kerr another victory-and
glory.

makes the folks connect with the idea
that the far better work of the Indians
during the last half of 1919 was due
to the wizardy of Speaker as a man

none of the American big three wrest-

that Plestina was crooked and had ad-

Most mat fans are familiar with the
controversy between these two men, Some
weeks, ago Plestina was reputed to have
put up s50o0 that he could throw Lewis
and Zbyszco both in an hour. This caused
a ripple of merriment among followers
of these two men who were not inclined
to take him seriously. Since that time,
however he has logged the steps of
Lewis, repeatedly issuing vigorous chal-
lenges
Ed Lewis is very popular here in Biz
mingham, more so, in fact, than any
wrestler in the game, and fans here ap-
pear to have plenty of confidence in him.
At the same time they would like to see
him go to the mat with Plestina just to
find out if the latter has anything.

Ike to study law, it had been arranged
or him. His father only said:
"Of all contemplate things, the
leanest is to make a son take up a
FORK which isn't his"
So Jimmie studied law, then he went
ito an Office and moved upward until
e had been an assistant district attor-
ey in New York. His brilliant work
ad won him a big reputation.
Life was so full of pleasures and
t joys and of everything going on
moothly, happily. And the last and
he greatest Of all the happiness he
ad known had been when he had
owed and found that he had won the
cart Of Beth Gray.
There had been only one incident
which, as Jimmie now looked back
lpon his life, had at all made him
Unhappy, and he thought Of it but sci
lon now.
One of the boys he had liked best
t first at college, and who had had
many winning qualities, had turned
mt to be the worst sort of a scoun'
Irel. He had cribbed in examinations
heated in games, and used money
which had not belonged to him. They
lad a rule at college by which the
tudent body could expel, and they
