FAVORITE
TO WIN BIG CLASH

LONDON, Sept. 2.-Conidenee in
their ability to win " the knockout
route was expressed today by both
Joe Beckett. British heavyweight
champion, and Eddie McGoorty,
American battler,- who meet tonight
in a twenty-round bout at the Olmy-
pia.
The twenty-round set to between
the French bantam champion, Charles
Ledoux, and Walter Ross. British
champion, was called on, it was an
nounced this morning.
It seemed probable today that Nc
GoOrty would be unable to make more
than los pOGads-while Beckett will
enter the ring weighing about 1S4
pounds.
Betting on the big match was lively
with the champion a favorite. Nc
Goorty's hackers were playing him
on the form ne showed recently in
knocking out Harry Rolph and Harry
Reeve, British heavyWeights. The
dope also figures that the Americans
speed and ring generalshiD would
balance the weight handicap.
Beckett expressed the utmost con-
ddence and announced his intention
of taking on the French champion,
Georges Carpenter, next and then
making a bid for the worlds title in
a battle with Jack Dempsey.
FREQ Fulton. the American plas-
terer, predicted he would knock out
Arthur Townley, British light heavy
weight. in I'VE rounds. They are
scheduled to go ten rounds in q pre-
liminary.

Br Burt WHITMAN.

BOSTON, Sept 2-Never In all
baseball history did a player get the
reception which $4,000 delirious fans
gave Babe Ruth when he made his
twenty-fourth home run OF the sea-
son at Fenway Park yesterday. He
had pitched and won the first game
against the Senator's. to I, both runs
resulting from a hot triple on his bat.
Then, with the score. kTiotted at
to in the seventh frame. Bobby
Roth walked and Babe sent the crowd
into ecstasies by smashing the ball
into right field bleachers. probably
one of the hardest hit balls that the
wickedly hitting colossus ever made.
McInnis Immediately followed with a
double and eventually scored, victory
coming again TO the Red Sox, to 1.
Babe never rose to such heights,
and It was his fortune, as well as
the crowds. that he accomplished all
those things on Labor Day afternoon,
with 10000 eager, ball-hungry fans
on hand, many OF them who never
had seen the big fellow make a home
run.

Shaw decided to try to steal one by

Babes" swing was just as fast.
He took that lethaI cut OF his and
the ball travelled with bullet-like

That smash put the Sox ahead, to

it was evident that it might enter the
bleachers. And the babel of fans
started. BY the time every one knew
the ball had cleared the barrier, every
last one OF the 10000 spectators was
on his or her feet.
A youngster in knickerbockers
leaped out OF the left field stand, a
drop Of fifteen or twenty feet, hot
footed it across the sward to Ruth in
left field and shook his hand. Babe
gave il a good shake, too, and grinned
that boyish grin of his. Then the lad
ran back, with copper or two on his
trail and the grand stand and bleach
ers yelled and clapped some more.
There was no more scoring and

more or less, fans swarmed around
Babe. Nothing to il but that they
raise him to their shoulders, and in

A TRIBUTE FROM THE WEST

Congressman Herbert j. Drane who
succeeded in beating Congressman
Sparkman to the wire by a full
length ahead, a feat many thought
impossible on account of the promi-
rent position Mr.. Sparkman held as
chairman of the rivers and harbors
committee, is doing a lot Of good
work for his constituents in particu-
lar and the country in general. We
confess that we were disappointed
when Mr.. Sparkman was defeated,
because we believed that his expert
ence and standing in Congress were
Invaluable to Florida. We are ready
to admit now that as Congressman
who is alert and working hard and
making success Of It. Drane is no
s'ouch. Although he is not in this
congressional district we have kept
an eye on him, and we believe he
is a credit to Florida. .-Apalachicola

SAY BUTTERMILK
Is A CLOSE SECOND
TO THE COCATAIE

Washington, July %. .-Buttermilk,
the United States Department Of
Agriculture thinks, is one Of the best
drinks in the world-nutritiou pal
atable and full of zest and vim. The
man who drinks buttermilk regular
ly and copiously is doing a good turn
for himself.
1t Is pointed out that while straight
tuttermilk Is an excellent drink,
there are number Of delicious COM
binations. Buttermilk lemonade ID
obtained by adding the Juice OF two
or three lemons to quart Of butter
milk, with sugar to taste. Butter
milk may be combined with lemon
juice, orange juice or eggs and sugar
for making frozen dainties.
Aside from its food and beverage
qualities. buttermilk Is said to pos
sess medical qualities. Many phy-
sicians prescribe it In the treatment
of certain intestinal disorders. The
bacteria that brings about the chem
ical change by which buttermilk IL
produced is believed by many pip
sicians and psychologists to destroy
certain other organisms that in the
human body tend to hasten senility.
Many prominent men drink butter
milk regularly as tonic. One of the
most widely known lecturers and
writer's in the United States drinks
buttermilk as regularly as he brush
es his teeth-and declares that he
feels himself getting younger with
every glassful.
