A Tale Of Two Pitchers

IF THE White Sox win again-and
l. the Reds don't win agoin--many rea-
sons may be advanced explaining the
situation.
But you will likely find the best an :
swer in tale Of two pitchers.
These two pitchers are Slim Sallee
and Red Faber.
Last year Faber won something like
three or four ball games. He was al
most as much help as one of the steel
girders supporting grandstand roof.
But early this season. when the SoX
were not counted on because their NOR
ale was supposed to be badly warped and
Cicotte's effectiveness was supposed tC
be crimped by the removal of the shine
ball, Mr.. Faber steps in again.
Where he won three or four games in
1919 he has already turned in nineteen
victories for the current year
He has won more games than Kerr,
as many as Williams and within one oi
Cicotte's mark.
In the opposite sector consider the
case of the Reds. Last year Slim Sal
lee, the left handed sheriff, turned in
twenty one victories for the Red cause.
So far this season Sallee has checked
in precisely five victories. The big def
icit from last year is sufficient in itself
to cause terrific slump.
Moran's Uphill Fight
TN addition to Sallce, both Eller and
i Fisher skidded from last years
heights, and the wonder is that Sir
Patrick has done as we'll as he has.
When three of your five leading pitch
ers become ensconced upon the creased
chute in one campaign it is no light
task to keep your machine properly
geared.
, Where three Red pitchers headed the
parade last year, now Reuther, the best
of the Reds, is as far down as eighth
among the main winners. Quite a diff
ference. Plus.
The Record Carnival
COLF'S record carnival gets under
VI way on Saturday at the Engineers
Club with the international match be-
tween the United States and Canada.
On Sunday the warfare is continued
for the American golfer trophy and on
Monday long parade Of champions and
ex champions start from the first tee In
the thirty six hole qualifying test.
No one can recall in the history OF
golf as many various champions as this
Scotian carnival will offer.
The list includes Heron. champion
Of the United States; Tolley, British
champion; Armour. French champion
Crier, Canadian champion. and at least
ffteenHothers who have collected titles

tween San Francisco and New York. II

Whooping cough is the mean
est" disease that childhood is
heir to. While rarely fatal in
itself, except to children under
two years of age. still it hangs on
so long-the coughing paroxysms
are so violent, preventing proper
sleep and digestion-that when
the disease does disappear it
leaves the child weakened and
run down. In addition the
violent coughing racks and strains
the air passages and after re
covery this irritation frequently
remains.
During this period of conval-
escence the child should be most
carefully watched until full
strength is restored and the air
passages regain their normal tone.
A prominent authority even goes
so far as to say--"There is more
criminal neglect in connection
with whooping cough than with
any other disease.
