SURE WAY TO STOP
FUGACI0US TY COBB

II isn't every player who can
cope with Ty Cobb. Yet in st.
Louis years ago there was a
quiet, modest little catcher
named Paul Kritchell, who
evolved out of his own vast
brain a means of circumventng
the willy fugacious Ty. One aft
ernoon Cobb was on first as is
his custom when the chance
looks halfway good, he broke for
second. Kritchell. wild to make
the peg, dropped the ball. Hur-
riedly picking it up, he slammed
the pill across to third, shout
ing: Get him when he comes
around there !"--and, sure as
fate, Cobb, trying to annex an
extra base on the miscue, ar
rived at third, only to find the.
ball waiting for him In the third
baseman's leathery handl

LARRY SUTTON WITH c0OMBS
One Of the Best-known Baseball
Scouts Signs to Dig Up Players
for Philadelphia Club.

Larry Sutton. one Of the best-known
baseball scouts, has signed a contract
to dig up new players for the Phillies.
Sutton for many years was the Brook
Ign clubs scout and was the dlscov-
erer of Daubert Wheat and other
noted players. He acted in a similar
capacity for the Cincinnati Reds two
years ago.
Sutton and Jack Coombs are old
friends. The former recently recon-
mended Leo Callahan to the Phillies,
and as the latter is making great
progress, Coombs decided the other
day to let Sutton put on his gum shoes
for tour OF the minor leagues later
In the season.

MINE GAS KILLS
TWORESCUERS;4
MINERS TRAPPED
Rescue Teams Working in
Relay to Reach the
Entombed Men

Connellsville. Pa, Jan. 81. - Two
miners. acting as rescuers. are dead,
and four others, trapped behind
walls of fallen slate, coal and debris,
Are believed to have perished as a
result of deadly gas fumes in the
Mount Braddock mine, near here.
The gas fumes. supposed to have
formed when the ground under a
burning slate dump collapsed into
the mine, were discovered early yes
sterday Six miners entered on an in
spection tour, and when they did not
reappear in an hour. a rescue team
went in. Two of the men were
found unconscious while the other
four had been entrapped behind the
cave-in.
Two rescuers, in n mine car, went
in late yesterday, instructing those
on the outside to pull the car to the
surface in twenty minutes. When the
car was brought out, the two rescu-
ers were found lying on the floor
dead.
Rescue teams from all sections of
: this region are working in relays in
an effort to reach the entombed men.
but all hopes of bringing them out
alive have been abandoned, as the
gas fumes are in all parts of the
mine. The victims of the accident
reside in this vicinity.

.GASIN THE STOMACH
IS DANGEROUS
Recommends Duily Use of Magnesia
To Overcome Trouble. Caused
- by FermcntinE Food and
Acid Indigestion.

,- Gas and wind in the stomach ac-
companied by that full, bloated feel
ing after eating are almost certain
evidence of the presence of excess
sive hydrochloric acid in the stom-
ach, creating so-called "acid indiges-
ition."
a Acid stomachs are dangerous be-
cause too much acid irritates the
delicate lining of the stomach often
leading to gastritis accompanied by
serious stomach ulcers. Food fer
ments and sours. creating the dis
tressing gas which distends the stom-
ach and hampers the normal func-
often affecting the heart.
1t is the worst folly to neglect
such a serious condition or to treat
with ordinary digestive aids which
have no neutralizing effect on the
stomach acids. Instead get from anv
druggist a few ounces of Bisurated
Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in
~ quarter glass of water right after
eating. This will drive the gas, wind
and bloat right out of the body
sweeten the stomach, neutralize the
excess acid and prevent its formation
and there is no sourness or pain
Bisurated Magnesia Gin powder or
tablet form = never liquid or milk
is harmless to the stomach, inexpenz
sive to take and the best form of
magnesia for stomach purposes. 1t
Is used by thousands of people who
enjoy their meals with no more fear
of indigestion. G. a. Gorgas, Ken

BOLSHEVISM in
RUSSIA WEAKENS,
PARIS INFORMED
Lenine Has Gained Recent
Military Success in West,
However

Paris, Jan. 2f.-Authentic infor-
nation received hero concerning re-
cent developments in Russia indi-
Gates that the strength and pres
tige of the Bolshevik government at
home has weakened somewhat in
the last few months although Pre-
mier Lenine and his associates have
succeeded in Strengthening their ar
mics and gaining considerable mill
tary success in western Russia.
The prospect of foreign inter
vention, however. it is said, has
brought to the Bolsheviki support
from certain elements which dislike
intervention.
1t is believed here that no revolt
by the unarmed masses of northern
and northwestern Russia will have
Bolsheviki maintain control of their
army.
Aids Hun Withdrawal
The withdrawal of the Germans
| is aided by the military progress of
1 the BolshevilSi in the west, where
they are concentrating their great
est efforts. This concentration in
the west has resulted in some SER
ious reverses on other fronts, not
|
berian troops and the defeat of the
Bolsheviki at Archangel and on the
south and eastern fronts.
| Representative of the various
Russian governments. with the ex-
ption of the Bolsheviki, are now
at Paris or on their way here to
| advocate their claims before the
peace conference, but thus far no
Russian government has been rec.
ognized.
Conference Problems
There are three main proposals
before the conference regarding the
Russian policy. The first advocates
vigorous intervention and the over
throw of the Bolsheviki. The sec
ond advocates by every other means
than the dispatch of troops assist
ance to the elements in Russia
fighting for democracy and order
against the Bolsheviki, with the OBJ
ject of contributing to the restora-
ton of normal conditions in the
perinltesnl regions. of Russia and
to effcOurage the populations of the
cent ttAfEragions still under Bolshev.k
domination to an effort to obtain
simiiaryconditions.
The third involves the cessation
of opposition to the Bolshevik gov
ernment, the withdrawal of the as
scciated and allied troops and an
attempt to reach n working ar
rangement to assist Russia out of
her troubles, though the formal rec
ognition of the Bolsheyiki is not
necessary.
Under the third propoal. the as
sociated powers would attempt to
| supply Russia with food and other

AMENDMENT TO
APPEAR EARLY
Will Probably Be Presented
in the House by Mr.. Wicker
man on Wednesday

From all '7dications the resolu-
tion for the keystone State to ratify
the prohibition amendment will Nbe
submitted to the House of Represen-
tatives on Wednesday as soon as the
committees are announced. A copy
of the official certifcation of the
amendment from Washington has
been prepared by Secretary of the
Commonwealth Cyrus e. Woods for
the Legislature. and the resolution
is being drafted. AS soon as present.
ed the resolution will go to the law
and order, committee. Early action,
probably within week, is forecast
as Governor-elcct William c. Sproul
is favorable to the state going on
record for the amendment.
The fact that no committees had
been named and that there was a
hitch over the craftsmanship of the
House law and order committee
prevented the resolution from being
presented last night. John w.
Yickerman, of Bellevue, in charge of
the matter, had a talk with the new
GoveEnor and Immediately prepared
for action.
) While some are insisting that
William C. Wagner, Allegheny, will
be named as chairman of the law
, and order committee it is said that
Mr.. Vickersham has the inside track
and that the majority of the men,
bers will he dry" Five Philadel-
phians are said to be on the slate.
Representative James A. Walker
of Philadelphia, a member of the
State Commission to codify the
banking laws, has the bills to carry
out the recommendation prepared
and will introduce them on Wednes-
day when the committees are an
nounced. 1t is said that the bills
provide for big reorganization OF
the department and the placing OF
the commissioner on n salary par
with heads of other departments
The department will be made sell
sustaining and an adequate number
of examiners provided.
Tho chances are that the Legisla-
tire will be inundated with bills on
Wednesday as the Legislative Refer
ence Bureau has been sending them
out in bales to members who had
asked expert aid in drafting them.
