RED CROSS Will
CONTINUE SERVICE
TO SOLDIER BOYS
Home Service Section Of Mason COun-
ty Red Cross Chapter Offers Ser
vices to Returned Soldiers.

The Mason County Chapter Of the
Red Cross desires the men discharged
from the fighting organizations to
know that the Red Cross is continuing
its work of furnishing information or
assistance to former soldiers and sail
ors, as we'll as to those still in the
service and to their families.
Men returning from the army may
find complications in business or COM
mercial activities or new problems
arising, owing to their absence or to
the new obligations they have resum-
ed. The Red Cross representatives
are in touch with the various govern
ment activities and with the local
agencies for the re-establishment Of
the returned men. What about the in
surance carried by the men while in
service? Can it be cashed in? Should
it be continued? When and to whom.
should it be paid? 4
What of vocational training for the
discharged soldier or sailor? Is the
injured man given an education by the
government?
Many men have subscribed for Lib
erty oBnds. How are the payments to
be made for these and what are the
mems rights in respect to them?
There is much confusion in the
minds of the public in regard to War
Risk Insurance and compensation on
account of injury sustained while in
the service. Any discharged man who
has become incapacitated while in the
service is entitled to compensation.
The rights of his family to compen-
| sation in case Of his death, may de-
pend upon whether he has submitted
a certificate Of disability prior to his
own decease.
Information on any and all of these
subjects has been given by the Home

to any discharged or enlisted man or
their interested relatives, without cost.

In the Semi-monthly Bulletin is
sued by the Organization Service Bu-
reau, Chief of the United States Cham

Memorials for soldiers and sailors
is subject concerning which we have
had a number of inquiries. We would
appreciate it if commercial organiza-

Huron and st. Claire county, Mich
have initiated planning action. In the
latter place and also in Louisville,
KY, civic or community center as
proper memorial is receiving COM
ment. The Spokane, WASH, Chamber
of Commerce has decided upon an au-
ditorium as a memorial and its COM
mittee is laying the basis for this pro-
ject through newspaper publicity, re-
printing of pictures of auditoriums in
other cities, etc. A committee of the
Oklahoma City, Okla, Chamber Of
Commerce is at work an Advisory
Board of local architects on plans for
a building and site. The Mayor of
Toledo, Ohio, has submitted a definite
plan to organizations interested which
proposes that the city issue 100000

Liberty Building and furnish site in
the civic center and that the citizens
contribute 100000 for the building

DETROIT HOPES TO
BE FIRST IN BOXING

With boxing legal in Michigan, De
troit intends to become a real fistic
metropolis. 1t probably will not
be long before some of the biggest
matches, contests in which cham
pions will be performers, will be
staged in the City of Straits. It
would be hard to find a more ideal
ly located spot for bouts from a
standpoint of drawing people.
With Toledo only two hours ride
by interurban line and Cleveland
as we'll as Toledo in position to
carry fans by boat to Detroit, it
should not be hare to furnish the
best of ring contests.
The Detroit Boxing club, which
has been granted a license, proba-
bly, will be one of the most pre-
tentious of the boxing institutions.
In order to get off on the right foot,
the Detroit Boxing club has is
sued invitations to a testimonial
dinner next Thursday in honor of
Governor Albert E. Sleeper. Thorn
as w. Bigger, chairman of the box
ing commission, Jack Dempsey,
heavyweight champion, and his
manager, Jack Kearns.

ALL FOOTBALL men ARE URGED
TOATTEND SESSION TONIGHT
Fans Are Cheered When Fat Smith
Announces He is Ready For
Another Hard Campaign.

All aspirants for positions on the
Independents football team this
fall should be on hand at the first
meeting Of the year, scheduled for
tonight at the Rock Island house.
Manager Walter Flanagan will ex-
pain the situation and unload a
few of his ideas for duplicating the
performances of past years. 1t is
important for all to be there.
The fans about town were cheer
ed today when Fat Smith said he
was ready for another strenuous
campaign. The big boy has never
looked in better trim than he does
at this time, and it means the sOlv-
ing of a problem in the line. He
may not possess college or univer-
sity experience in the grid game.
bu3 one thing is certain, he can
play the independent game as It IS
done in these parts. There are 4
lot of strong-hearted college play
ers who have wilted under the ba,-
tel.rg of the terrific struggles that
char acterizes the sport here.
Williams, who was seen IN action
i'll Rock Island last year, as the
quarterback on Fred Chickens
uv alton team from st. Paul, IS anx-
ious to covert in a green jersey
this fall, ami it is very probable
that Flanagan viii tell him to come
on. Williams is a fast, heady play
or with plenty OF football krowl-
edge, and should form an import
ant cog in The i.aCkfeld.
Taddy Quinn can be relied upon
to be ready to answer the scrim-
mage call. Light, but full Of grit;
that's Paddy.
{ theirs than those mentioned last
night whom Walter is in touch with
include Wyland, Fosdick, Guyer
and Harry. The latter is tied down
to an important position in Des
Moines and it may be that he will
be unable to give the time needed
20 play football. Fosdick and Wy
land are good prospects. Ted Guy
er's attitude has not been learned.
Hope, is held out that Bodie An
drews, former NOtre Dame star,
now a lieutenant in the navy and
stationed down in the Hawaiian
waters, will return with his dis
charge, or on furlough, in time to
take part in some Of the seasons
important battles.

YANKS HALT SOX
IN CHASE after
SEASON HONORS
Gleason Men Accorded Worst of
Two Close Plays and Decision
Goes Against Them.

Chicago, Aug. 26.-After winning
10 straight, the pennant pace of the
White Sox was halted yesterday at
Comiskey park in the final game
against the eastern clubs when the
New York Yankees nosed them out,
6 to 5, in a tough and desperate bat
tie. However, Detroit lost another
to Boston, so Gleason's men still
hold their lead of six games in the
race.
There were two critical places in
the combat and if the Sox had been
given the good end in either of the
two they would be seven games in
the lead today. Both plays went
against them and they were nosed
out by a run, and White Sox fans,
who are growing more and more
enthused each day, will have to
wait a bit longer now for the final
decision on the race.
Big Bill James, who did so splen-
didly against Washington recently,
was sent to the slab opposed by
Herb Thormahlen, the sensational
left handler of the New York team.
James didn't appear to have the
same brand of stuff he showed
against the Senators, but he prob
ably would have breezed through if
a play in the fifth inning hadn't
spilled the beans.
Ping Bodie was first up in that
frame and led off with a single, and
Ruel followed the example. Thor
mahlen came up and bounded one
high in front of the plate and a bit
toward third base. James ran in
and had to wait for the ball to
come down, but grabbed it and
soaked it to Gandil. Well, all the
Chicago boys declared the ball beat
Thormahlen to the bag, but imp
Hildebrand saw it the other way
and called the Yank pitcher safe.

CHICAGO WOMAN
VESTS BEST PLAYER

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 26.-Mrs.
Melvin Jones of the Glen Oak club
of Chicago again proved herself
the premier medal player of the
west, leading a field of 1874 starters
in the qualifying round of the wom-
ems western golf tournament at
the Detroit Golf club yesterday.
Mrs. Jones' card of SO was re-
markedly good, being made in a
heavy wind which at times amount
ed to a half gale, although it mod
Grated in the afternoon. It is the
best card made over the 6,i34 yard
course by a woman in competition.
although Mrs. Dorothy Campbell
Hurd of Pittsburgh, former Brit
ish champion, is reported to have
made similar figures in a practice
game.

CUBS GET DAY OF
REST ACCOUNT OF
EXCESS OF RAIN

Boston, Mass, Aug. 26.-Not IN
til after l o'clock did the aerial
plumbers who went on strike re-
turn to work, having obtained 100
per cent Increase in wages and
two and a half prices for over
time. That was too late to save
the game scheduled between Cubs
and Braves. SO a double header vii!
be staged today.
There would be no complaint
from either club if the cloud leak
age were resumed today in time to
prevent both scraps. President
Grant Of the Braves would not be
peeved If he had to transfer the
two dates to Chicago, and the Cubs
would be glad to escape the 8 ..tlc
would be glad to escape the frantic

early train to keep an exhibition
dale in Toronto tomorrow.
There was nothing phoney about

hour deluge flooded a few of the

market men are circulating prop
uganda that many Goldfish in the
bay were drowned tC alibi an in
cease in the cost of filet of -ole.
How the Cubs escaped the gem
eTGI liquidation in New Haven Sun
Gay is a mystery, but the return of
the athletes brought an aIibi for
their defeat by the Eastern
leaguers. Their game did not
start un:il after p. m. and the
Cubs had to catch a $50 train
back, the ball park being a half
hour drive by automobile from the
railroad.
Each Cub went to bat with orders
TO hit the first ball if possible and
they played the game in an hour SO
as not to miss the RATHER and have
TO spend part of the night on the
road.

when Rivers was at his best, and
Galatians victory created a sensa-
ton in New York.
Young Dennis has been nursed
along properly until he is now con-
sidered ready to meet the best in
