George Blevins Home Again

Private George Blevins, the young
son of Mr.. John Blevins, of this city
arrived home with Gen. Pershings
army, and is being warmly greeted
by his many friends this week
Blevins volunteered for service in St
Louis, and reached his twentieth
birthday last June. He was on the
firing line for three weeks, and luckily
received no wounds. Among the
relics he brought home with him
was an old fashioned pipe, taken from
around the neck of a dead German
which he presented to Councilman
Golden, who is as proud of it as {
child with a coveted toy.

five at a hotel for Sill. Repre-
sentatiyes of the State Farm

modities, they asserted as fol-
lows:
Beef, two pounds, SO cents; po-
tatoes, Is cents; bread, 2 cents

|OG[ETHORPE NINE ! DEFEATS BULLDOGS
Martin Allows But One Hit, But His Team Fails to
 Get Runs

The Howard Bulldogs" fell to defeat before the offerings of Turk in one of the prettiest games played on college tin. the right-winged twirler, pitched swell ball, only one of his offerings be- ing connected with for a safe bingle, while Howard collected two hits from the deliveries of Turk
 The first hit of the afternoon came when McLane doubled, but two were gone, and Carr struck out. Howard had when Duke uncorked a measly infield bingle. He was sacrificed to third by Jackson, but Griffin struck out, ending the stanza.
 The lone tally of the game came in the fifth when Davenport tripled to deep cen- ter and scored when Carr threw Knox S pop-up wild to the plate. This was the only hit gotten off Martin.
 The Bulldogs threatened to tie the game in the eighth, when McLane laid down a bunt and Walton threw wild to first, thus letting him be safe Carr struck out, McLane going to second on a passed ball by Walton. Duke sacrificed McLane to third, but Martin grounded out, Davenport to Knox
 The Bulldogs had runners on the paths in the second. third and eighth ins nings, but failed to shove across the needed run to tie up the game.
 The pitching of Turk is the best that the Howard aggregation has gone up against this season, even greater tharf that of Boone, who is rated as Dixie s best. The twirling of Martin was of stellar variety, and would have won had the Baptists delivered in the pinches. The fielding of Davenport and Griffin featured the afternoon, both making spectacular catches.
 The second game of the series will be played this afternoon. Walker will mount the hillock for the "Bulldogs.' D Coach Anderson has not announced the twirler for the "Petrels." Score

LEWIS PRACTICES WITH DUMMY HEAD KarinOff Has Thrown Both Freberg and Savage in
 Hours Time

In the illustration "Strangler" Lewis may be seen practicing his famous hold. Barring Zbyszko's. this head may be said to be the only head in the world which is able to stand Lewis rough treatment for any length of time. So far it has been able to stand up under the strain put upon it.
 This dummy was carved out of solid block of wood, cut in half and power full springs inserted in the opening. When the opening is closed the face has a re- inarkabie resemblance 70 a human face. It is said that it takes ''pou'ful man" to close the head. Lewis has mastered the art by constant practice, and now he is able to close human heads with so much ease as he closes the wooden one. Constant practice with this dummy is responsible in large measure for the tremendous pressure that Lewis is able to put on the wrestlers head who op- poses him.
 Tomorrow night at the local Atheltic club Lewis will wrestle Karinoff, the en- inent Russian grappler. Karinoff is not an opponent to be despised. He won the Canadian tournament, and has de- feated several American grapplers. Amogn these are Freberg and Joe Saw age. Karinoff threw both these in an hours time. He has also thrown Taylor, Plestina's opponent Of Friday night, and in much less time than 1t took Plestina to accomplish the act. Karinoffs rise has been as swift anG as successful as Marin Plestinas He ,s prophesied as one of the coming men Of the mat.
 The "Strangler' is one of the prime favorites of local fandon. Scarcely more popular Is Dr. Roller himself. Somehow Lewis has always struck the right chord of Birmingham's heart All fandom is looking forward to the first match that he has participated in nere in more than two years.
 A classy list of ''preirns" is being ar. ranged. Mike Forbes. the 'crackerjack' high school wrestler has agreed to try to throw any five boys in high school one after the other in exactly one hour. If the youthful grappller succeeds in doing t.ais he will make record for himself that will be hard to beat. The following will probably be the boys to wrestle him Tom Newton, Earnest Spence, Dan Gaylord, Shugerman. and Earl Barks or Ned Couburn. All six of these young hopefus are men Of might and Mike Forbes has taken an undesirable job upon himself in agreeing to wrestle these men. He will have nard tussle to put each mans shoulders 70 the mat in 1: minutes.

MER|TONE A BIG HELP ID LOCAL
 WOMAN AT TER FLU.
Says One Bottle of Meritone Did Her More Good Than All Other Medicines
 Put Together

Mrs. William B. Somers of 6531 Geor- gia Road, Birmingham. is one of the many people of this city and section who highly praise Meritone, the famous new system medicine, because of bene- its it has brought them.
 Like many other people. Mrs. Somers had influenza last fall and had never gotten over the effects of the ailmen;. She tried everything and spent sto for medicines but she says Meritoue only helped her and that it has done her more good than all the other medi- cines put together.
 SAYS IT'S WONDERFUL
 'Its a wonderful medicine, teis Meritone is, and after what 1t has done for me I feel that it is my duty to give this public statement and let osh- CTS know about it. Mrs. Somers said.
 "It was last November that I caught the influenza and I really have never gotten over it right My nerves were so cut of order that the least noise would excite me and I could hardly sleep at n~ht. 1 had scarcely and ap- petite at all.
 q spent $50 for medicines trying to get something that would help me but Meritcne has done me more good than all the others put together. T feel 100 per cent better right now and I've only just finished the first bottle of Meritone. My appetite Is so good now that I can hardly get enough to eat and can go to bed at night and sleep straight through to morning without waking and then get up feel inG good.
 LIKE NEW PERSON I'm like an entirely different person and I highly recommend Meritone.' Thousands of people in many differ ent states praise Meritone just as high l ly as this Birmingham woman does. I They have found Meritone a medicine of real merit for building up the sys- | tenn after influenza or pneumonia or | for such system complaints as ailin3 l conditions of the stomach. liver or kid-. \ neys and the like.
 | Meritone Is now being specially in | troduced in Birmin gham by the Meri-s tone representative at the Norton drug 1 store and also at the Jacobs drug store at 1904 Second avenue, and is sold ! in Ensley at the Berney drug store

ter is a distinct advantage to the base runner because when he hits it is usual- ly between first and second base. There fore, that forces the first and second oasemen to play for the ball rather than for the runner and thereby help Ing the runner to steal second"
 You're wrong-all of you" replied Irwin T put that same question to aoout l00 of the so-called baseball ex- perts and everyone has answered just about like you fellows. Now with a left handed batsman at the plate and runner on first, what happens? The pitch is made and the runner starts for second. The chatcher gets the ball. Can he make a throw from the exact point where he has received the ball. in case there is left handler at bat?
 No. of course he can't because the oatsman is standing directly in the line with the swing of his arm and second base. Therefore, with left handed bat ter up it is always necessary for a catcher to shift to one side or the other so as to get clear throw to second And if that batsman is at all tricky which usually is the caSe---he will keep shifting around and block a quick throw to second. Of course, this block ing and this shifting is only a matter of second or so--but in base steal- ing one tenth of second frequently

 During training camp days Joe Bush, one of the Red Sox pitchers nicknamed Babe Ruth "Tarzan." The big left hand CT took 1t as a sort of compliment be- cause Bush had told him that Tarzan had been a man of tremendous strength and power-and altogether a superb I human.
 The teammates of Ruth quickly adopted the nickname and around the camp Ruth became generally known as l "Tarzan." He minded 1t not at all un- l til one night he went to a moving pie | ture show. There he saw a screen play l --"Tarzan of the Apes" It was the story of a youngster who had lived in the wilds of the tropics with only mon- keys as his companions.
 The next day Ruth was one of the | earliest arrivals a t the ball park. Final | ly Joe Bush came along and walk ed | over toward where Ruth was standing Hello, Tarzan,' greeted Bush, where i upon Ruth. grabbing up the biggest bat in sight chased Bush out of the | park and almost back to the hotel. And | from that day no one on the Red Sox ! roster has had the courage to apply l to Ruth the training camp nickname which he liked so we'll once-but likes no more.

New York, May 12.--Polce and army agents arc searching for Frank Ed ward Speicher, who escaped from the guard house on Governors Island last Friday and who is accused of swindling automobile dealers out of $7500 by pre- senting a forged authorization to sell more than 1000 motor cars and 2.250,000 tires from the army store house at Camp Holabird.

Big league batsmen who take pride in assem bling a great swatting record,
 would much rather hit against pitchers such as Walter Johnson and Grover Alexander than the offerings of bush league rockies. All of which may seem
 queer to some persons. But here is the
 explanation of Ty Cobb.
 "A batter is much safer in going up
 against a seasoned pitcher than when
 confronted by the rather cratic pitch
 ing of youngster. Experienced pitch
 CTS have control Eaters know they
 are in but little danger of wild pitch
 And so they aren't menaced by the
 possibility of Injury when facing a
 star twirler."
 But it is different with young pitch CTS. They are inclined to wildness and
 there is no telling where their throw s
 are going. Therefore, batters don't crowd the plate with a kid pitching.
 And the fact that they don't is some thing of an advantage for the pitcher. T would rather bat against speed pitching than any other kind-and guess it is the same with every other batsman." added. Cobb. The natural assumption is that the swifter the pitcher the more difficult it is But l haven't found it so. If a batsman has a good eye and can time the delivery of the pitcher. he finds but little trou- l ole in meeting a smoke ball. And when | he does meet it he is absolutely sure | that it's going to sail for some con- | siderable distance.
 If anyone will take the trouble to | look through records he will find that | most of the hits made off speedy pitch . l CTS have been long ones. That is be- l cause the ball comes in so fast that even if 1t hit a stationary bat it would ] probably rebound beyond the infield. And when that hat Is swung by a pair 1, of powerful shoulders and meets the ! incoming ball the result usually is a | long distance drive to the far corners | of the ballfield."
 1 Arthur Irwin, who begad, his basebs II 1 career something like 40 years ago and who is one of the closest students | of baseball, asked this question at a 1 recent flaming bee:
 Why does a left handed batsman a1- ways follow immediately behind the | fastest runner on the team?" A chorus of voices immediately re- piled:
 "Why, that's easy A left handed bat
