IMAM ON THE
BOX" GUIDED
LADY ASTOR
SiIk-Hattcd Coachman Was
Man Who Directed Her
Successful Campaign

PLYMOUTH, Eng, Nov. Ill,
was an up-to-date 'Man on the Box
who guided the destinies OF Lady AS
tors campaign to determine whcthe.
she would be tne first woman Com
moner of England
More than a score Of newspaper
correspondents. who trailed Lady As
tor during her electionecring and
iunketing about Plymouth, had diff
Eculty for some time in learning in
advance where she intended to make
her next appeal for votes. The
reason developed when It was learn
cd that it WAS neither Lady Aston
nor Lord Astor VINO was guiding her
mcanderings, but the ruddy-faced
bulky old eoachmla -Churchwood,
who had been serving the Astor
family through three political
battles. He acknowledged that he
had been made director general OF
Lady Astor's camr1:g1.
Sllk-hattcd and oificious executives
of the Unionist party held council
daily and drafted the candidate
strategic moves, but !, was Church
wood-also sllk-hatted though less
officious-who really determined
whether these plaAs should bc exc
cuted or vetoed.
Lady Astor would enter Eer car
rage in the morning, Churchwocd
would whip up the elegant pair Of
sorrcls and the candidate would roll
away, unmindful of whittier she
was bound. If Churchwood from his
vantage point saw street corner
gathering or lowly abode where
Lady Aston might get a-hea1irG, he
would rein in thc horses without ask
ing leave, and let her do the rest.
When the speech and the ensuing
cross-fire questions had ended, or
when Churchwood senscd a waning
in the interest," o: the auditors, he.
would icrk a pei emptory thumb il.
the direction of the back seat, saying:
Get in." Whereupon Lady Astor
would resume her place in the carri-
age ana IL would proceed to The next
halt.
When Lord Astor ended the previ-
Gus campaign, Churchwood delivered
his fluctuations and went back to his
regular occupation as stableman with
one of the Plymouth coach services.
But this time he was ambitious, as
he confidcd to the correspondent Of
The Associated Press, to journey 10
London with Lady Astor and sec her
take her place in the seat of Com
mons. There was no person in
Plymouth, not excepting Lady Aston
herself, who was more certain of the |
outcome of the election than Church
wood.

better THAN CALQMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
colored tablets are the result of DR..
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel:
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomel. Let DR.. Edwards olive

Headaches, "dullness' and that lazy
feeling come from constipation and a

RIBBONS SERIES
 WILL END MERE
Ansonians Decide 10 Complete Games at Colonial Hall.
 Locals Leading 2-1.

With two gmes tucked safely away. Jack Leayy's Blue Ribbons today were made to 8 favorites in the series with Jason Wright's Ansonia contingent for the professional basket ball championship Of Connecticut. The locals in a one-sided game play ed before another large crowd at Colonial hall last night forced the Ansonian invaders into submission by the score of B to 2S
 It was a well-played game so far as the winners were concerned for they tied up the game shortly after the first period was started The visitors rushed into play their best men and spared no effort to pile up points, but this failed to halt the rapidly pro gressing Blue Ribbons.
 The Weeks rest worked wonders for the BridgepOrters, for the team was in splendid condition and show ed that it meant business shortly after play was begun. The team work of the Ribbons was the outstanding fea- ture of the contest. Time and again the locals broke up the Ansonia's best plays. Even Chief Muller had to admit after the game that the 7Ribbons gave him altogether too much trouble
 Barney Sed-an. Powers and Hol- man were the individual stars, al- though the winners as q whole play ed commendabI basketball and were never in danger of defeat.
 Announcement was made today that the remaining games in the series may be played in Colonial hall here owing to lack of accommodations in the Ansonia hall. Manager Jason Wright of Ansonia. has consented to this change.

Monument To Tell Story Of
 Inception Of Organized Ball
By Old Tinaer)

T HERE SHOULD be a monument A erected at the corner of Broad way and Thirteenth Street in New York, for it was there, in Golfers resort for the thirsty, that the Nation al Association of Baseball Clubs, the first professional league and the par ent of the National League. was or sal.ized 48 years ago, St Patrick's Day, 1871.
 Nichoias E. Young was the found CT of the National Association and it's first secre-ary--tre suTer. Nine cIu bs were represented in that historic gathering-the New York Mutuals, Philadelphia Athletics, Washington O-ympics. Troy Haymakers, Fort Wayne Kekionigas, Boston, Chicago, Rockford and Cleveland. The Phila- delphia Athletics won the first pen nant with a percentage of .759, cap turing twenty-two games and losing seven, while Boston was second. In 1872 the circuit consisted of eleven clubs, and Boston won the pen nant.
 Nine clubs played in 1873, Boston v7tnninE the pennant. and the Hub city club again held the lead in 1874, and in that year the Boston and Philadelphia clubs made a summer tour of England and Ireland. In 1875 there were thirty clubs in the circuit, although three dropped by the wayside before the end of the season Clubs as far west as St. Louis, Hartford, H.. and Keokuk, la, were represented Boston again was victorious.
 Early in 1878 it was decided to re- organize the circuit, and the name was changed to National League, while rules were adopted to eliminate the gambling and other evils that had fastened themselves on the game Morgan G. BulkIey. later Governor Of Connecticut and United States SCI ator, was the leagues first presdel~~ and Nicholas E. Young of Wash ington its first secretary. ''Uncie Nick was secretary of the National Association five years. and secretary and treasurer of the National league for twenty-seven years, and president eighteen years of that per1od-a con dnuous connection with professional baseball for thirty-two years.
 Since the organization of the Ma tiona1 Association in 1871, that cir cult and it's successor, the National League, has had clubs in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston, Wash fngton, Troy, Fort Wayne, Cleveland. Rockford, Baltimore, Brooklyn, Mans field, Conn. Chicago, Hartford, Conn, St. Louis. New Haven, Keokuk, Gin cinnati, Louisville, Indianapolis, Mill waulzee, Providence, Buffalo, Cleve- land.

 4 truly remarkable finish for TWO women golfers and one which prob ably would not have been duplicated by any two men players at Pine hurst under the circumstances was recorded in the competition between Mrs. Ronald II. Barlow of Mrs. J. Y. HuTd. The contest was the last Is holes for the silvaF foils champion ship and the pair had progressed to the last hole. There Mrs. Barlow was one stroke to the good. Both drove to the green and Mrs Hurd laid her second up dead for Q 9. Mrs. Bar low. however, ran down for a 15-foot putt for a ?, which gave her the championship by a margin Of two strokes with a tIirty-six hole total Of ITO as against 172 for Mrs. Hurd.

Paddy crossed the big pond when quite young and became an iron worker in Troy, N. I. That city in New York state had been the home of TWO American champions. John Heenan and John Norrissey, and the young Irishman heard so much about them and their great ffstic feats that he determined to go and do like wise.
 He was practically an unknown w hen he was matched to fight Joe GOss for the American champ pionship in 1880. The bout was pulled off at Golfers Station, W. Va, and was for $2.000 and the title. (Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey. please note this fgure). For nearly an hour and q half the two gladiators pounded each other with bare knuCkles, but in the eighty-seventh round Goss went down and was unable to get up again in time
 Ryan was hailed as a hero by the Irish-Americns, and nothing was too good for him until that day in 1882 when he met John L. Sullivan at Mississippi City and was pounded in to submission in nine rounds. In 1886 Ryan was again knocked out by SuI- livan In San Francisco, and soon afterward he retired from the ring.

A MOTHER GREAT Irish fighter A who made his mark in Ameri- ca was Peter Maher, the anniversary of whose birth comes tomorrow. He was born in Galway, Ireland, on March Is, 1869. In his youth Peter worked in a Dublin brewery and later was a barkeeper. He early took up boxing just for fun and be- came the amateur middleweight It champion of Ireland and also anna teur heavyweight champion pf Eng land. About this time Billy Madden went scouting in Ireland in the hope of finding a heavyweight to take the measure of John L. Sullivan. Maher looked good to Madden, and ne brought him back to America with him.
 The Hibernian's dreams of the championship did not last long, how ever, for Bob Fftzsimpons took h-s measure with neatness and dispatch. Peter continued in the game, never theless, and when he fought his last battle in 1909, being knocked out in the first round by Jack Fitzgerald ir Philadelphia, he was a ring vet eran of over twenty years standing. ~ JTNDAY BASFJBAIL in Rhode Is- O land will be a blessing for the Eastern League and will mean that Providence will be represented in that circuit this season. But the Little Rhody Senators must have their say and it's Idle to predict what they will do. The Senate there has always been opposed to anything that will tend to shatter the Blue Laws. but perhaps they will remember this lime that the boys who have returned from the front insist on Sunday ball.
