SHOCKER EQUALS MARK
 ONCE SET BY JIM SHAW

When Urban Shocker registered four teen strike-outs against the Yankees at the Polo grounds yesterday he per formed a feat that has occurred but seldom in either major league. Shocker came within two strike-outs of the American League record. established by the late Rube Waddell in a game against the Mackmen in 1908. Wad- dell, when he made his record, was pitching against the team that had let him go, just as Shocker was doing yesterday. Rube was with the Browns when he set down sixteen on strikes. A few years ago Jim Shaw famed four teen Tanks in a game at the Polo grounds. The National League record for strike-outs in a ninc-inning game is nineteen, set by Charles Radbourne, back in 1SS4-Washington Post.

Superbas Dispose of Nearest Rivals, the Cncy Reds in First Two Games of Series-Cleveland TwirIers in Form-Speakers Will Begin Crucial
 Series With the Yankees

New York, July 1s.-Good form is being displayed by the two mayor league pace-setters. the Brooklyn Ma tonals and the. Cleveland Americans. The Superbas, who had won twenty two games in the last twenty five by good pitching and timely batting, dis posed of their nearest rival. the Cln- cinnati worlds champions, in the first two games of their series, but today the champions broke their losing streak and won from the Robins.
 The Cleveland pitching staff appears strong with the return to form of Caldwell and Morton, and the Indian twirlers, who checked the New York Yankee sluggers in the west last month, will try to repeat in the series start ing next Wednesday at the Polo grounds.

The Giants batted hard last week. Chicago had it's worst week of the season through inability to hit. Philadelphia put up a good fight against Cincinnati.
 In the American League New York failed to keep close to Cleveland, as the Yankee pitchers were batted hard. Chicago, which had climbed to third place by winning twenty-one victories in twenty-six' games, met an over whelming defeat in it's attack on New York in the first game yesterday of a series with second place at stake. Today the Yankees again defeated the White Sox.

 Not content with this, two years later Sheridan boosted these figures to the ex-
 traordinary total of 7,130h.
 Sheridan, when asked to what he at
 tributed his remarkable athletic success,
 invariably would give the same answer:
 Clean, wholesome living" ADVICE TO BOYS This was his advice to boys: Don't smoke or drink, and live good, clean, upright life I use tobacco mildly now, but never used it in any form until had attained my full growth. If you enter any sport, go in with your brain as
 we'll as muscles. Play the game for all you're worth, but don't try to do too much
 "The prep school star seldom makes good in college or in club competition. He saps his vitality before he natures. Bend all your early effort toward developing splendid, all-around physique. It will be time to specialize when you get older. Live in the open all you can. Above all things, make your athletics subser- vient to study or business. Don't forget that the main purpose of athletics is to
 make you better fitted for the great bat tie of life. Don't get discouraged; we can't all be champions. "Once again, let me warn you about smoking and drinking. They're both bad habits, boys: and they don't pay. Don't stoop to anything low or mean. When ever you are tempted to do somefbt1s that is not right, just think of your dear l old mother Mother knows best, boys | If I hadn't tried to live up to my good 1 old mothers teachings I would never have won the honor to battle for Uncle Sam at three Olympiads. Do what your mother says; hit the
 line hard, and you certainly will gel there."

The approaching Olympic games which are to be held is Antwerp, Belgium, this summer bring back to memory the won- derful athletic achievements of the late Martin Sheridan, hero of two Olympiads, the winner of close to 100 championship titles.
 Coming to this country from Ireland in 1897, Martin devoted himself to the strenuous task of earning . living. In Ireland he ran and jumped and threw weights, but only is friendly competition with his father and brothers, all of whom were big. strapping fellows like himself.
 His brother Dick preceded him to America, and on Martins arrival he found Dick an athlete of note. The suc- cess of his brother soon awoke the ath- letic spirit in Martin. And in 1901 he donned his first athletic costume.
 In his first competition he signalized his advent into the sport by winning the discus throw.
 In his very next appearance, in Will lard Park, N. J., he established new worlds record, throwing the discus the unprecedented distance of 120 feet "A inches.
 OIIAl1V UT AAo
 From that day on Sheridan's career was marked with one long chain Of championship triumphs and record-break' ing feats.
 In 1904 he went to the Olympic meet Tn St Louis and there won worlds titie with the discus, hurling the saucer shaped missile the record distance or 12s feet 1o1s inches.
 At the Olympic games in Athens he won both the discus and shot and scored more than twice as many. points as any other athlete and more than most of the en- tire teams of all other countries.
 On his return Martin continued his rec ord-breaking career and in 1908 went to London. There he won the discus event and scored more points than any other competitor. except Melvin Sheppard, who beat him for the honors by quarter or point

In this period the eight marksmen broke total of 122,000 tar gets for an average of .9537 It is a wonderful record and it is doubtful whether any of the teams that will represent the other countries in the Olympic games can offer anything that remotely approaches it.

WALTER BARBARE MAKES
 GOOD WITH THE PIRATES

Walter Barbare's short-stopping since the Pirates returned from their long road trip has been brilliant. He is not a flashy performer, but he can go to his right after balls. does not fight hard hit grounders and is easily the best man Pittsburg has had in the short field position since Honus Wag- ner retired.
 Fans who have seen Barbare play here the past week realize that with the tall boy in there when the season opened the Buccos would be a whole lot nearer first place than they are to- day
 It was tough luck when Barhare had his jaw broken by bush league hurler. l-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Neither team had crossed the plate up to the fifth, with both Gallagher and Luknovic going good, the former holding the Bears hitless during the first four frames. The Barons had hit safely in the second, third and fourth, but not hard or often enough to get a man across, and spectacular fieding by Golyin and Lukonovic cut down whatever chances there were to score.
 At the beginning of the fifth, stewart drew life at first base, when Aliens throw pulled GoIvin off the bag. Stevenson singled to left field, putting two on. The Barons were temporarily sent back when LukOnOvic hustled Barn. hart's intended sacrifice over to third so ns to nip Stewart going
 into the bag. Bernsen drew pass, which filled the bases. At this time heavy clouds hung over the field and it was evident that rain was matter of but few
 minutes.
 Griffith lifted the second ball pitched high into the air toward
 the right field fence, but there was enough drive power behind it
 to carry it over the wall and out of the park. The parade started across the platter. The scoring was stopped few minutes later on infield outs. When the Bears started their half of the fifth, the half necessary to make it a game, it looked like there would not be chance of finishing the frame Clouds covered the heavens and be- fore the first out they began leaking in half-hearted manner.
 With one down, Mullen singled and fole second. Roberts was sent in tc nit for Lukonovic and walked
 The next man flied out and Aller followed with a single, which scored Mullen. Golvin drew free passage The rain began coming stronger but not strong enough to stop play, and Mulvey sent fly to Coffindaffer, who made nice catch to cinch the Barons victory.

Supposing progressives would charge that

Wouldn't that be considered ridiculous?
Yet it would be just as logical as the charges

The stand-patters do not care to discuss
the real issues. Their platforms are rela-
lively unimportant few people ever
read them-they are made to get in on and
not to stand on. Having no ideals of gov
eminent to present that would prove popu-
lar, they resort to creating prejudice.
The efforts of the stand-patters in this
campaign among the women are to make
them believe that the progressives stand for
dangerous socialism and in favor of repeal
ing the prohibition laws. Both accusations
are absolutely false, as can be easily under
stood by anyone who will lay aside prejudice
of mind one minute and investigate the facts.
The great mass of the progressives fought
to have prohibition win, the same as they
fought to have suffrage win, while the old
politicians and their supporters were again
st or neutral on these questions It is ridicu-
lous to claim that progressive rule now
threatens to annul this issue. Before long
it will be found that progressive rule will be
needed to effectively use the strong arm of
the government to protect the people from
those who now openly defy these laws.
