ALL MEN BOOBS
SAYS THIS WIFE

CHICAGO, Aug. 2O.-All men are
boobs, as pliable as wax and can be
moulded in the hands of any woman.
Such is the love philosophy of pretty
Mrs. John P. Mccain, daughter in law
of Frank j. Mccain, president Of the
Overland Automobile company. She
expressed herself in court when she
was fined $40 jointly with Leo Smith
with whom she was arrested last night
Her husband directed the detectives
to the room where she and Smith were
seized.
"All men are boobs,' she said. "You
can lure them, you can ditch them and
then come back apd they'll eat out of
your hand. You can put anything over
on them. Look at that simpleton
Ralph Obenchain.
She smiled at her husband wto was
seated just two rows back OF her.
"When this is over" she continued,
''my husband will come and take me
back. He is like all the rest Of them"
rs that right? the husband was
asked. "Will you take her back?"
He mumbled something that sounded
like, 81 am through"

EAST SAN DIEGOIS
ALL RIGHT AGAIN

j. S. 1BonUer, a wholesale dispenser
of famous soft drink, is all smiles
again when the little city of East San
lego IDS mentioned. Time was few
days back when to mention East San
Diego was to make Bonter see red and
indulge in more or less warm language
A few weeks ago Bonter was on
hurry trip to the coast and in passing
through East San Diego he ran afoul
of speed cop who insisted that the
Ell Centre man was hitting the high
spots only with his fliver. Bonter
admitted going % miles an hour in
the 20 mile zone, but insisted that that
was the limit The court took the
speed cops word for it however, and
tackled heavy fine onto Bonter.
Hence Bonter's hard feeling toward
the east end Of the big coast town.
A week later Bonter happened to
run into Mayor A. Roy Sauer, of East
San Diego and they had a talk and
explanations, and then just Saturday
in Bonter's mail came a check from
the town h"' in East San Diego for
the amount of his fine and a nice lit
tie note from the mayor explaining
that they thought he hadn't been
treated just right; SO Bonter now is
all smiles about East San Diego and
| thinks the town is alright.

RACE SUICIDE BY
COLLEGE BRED MEN
(Snecial to The Press.)


BOSTON,, Aug. 22-Is racesulcide
increasing among college graduates
Maurice Kicker of the United States
Public Health Service says that it is,
and quotes statictics. Some college
presidents are inclined to doubt the
conclusions drawn by the health SER
vice official and thinks his figures
give wrong impression. Others say
that from lack of statistics of their
own, they are not prepared to discuss
the subject. They admit that Mr..
Richers figures are startling and they
present a disquieting view of the
| future.
Addressing the recent convention
of the National Education Associa-
tion in Des Moines, Ia, Mr.. Kicker
was quoted as follows: 'Investiga-
ton by the federal public health SER
vice over period of years indicates
that the progeny of one thousand grad
yates from such institutions as Har-
ward, Yale, Princeton, Vassar land
Smith will not exceed fifty in 100
years from now." He proceeded to
compare the results of similar can
vass among illiterate foreigners and
said it indicated that in like period
the original thousand would be multi
pile at least hundred times.

DODGERS ADD TO STRING
Blank Phils for Tenth Straight
Win-Pirates Down Cubs-Cards
and Giants Triumph.

Pirates and Dodgers yesterday
continued their merry race for first
position in the National League. each
scoring victories. The former BANKED
the Cubs. while the circuit champions
recorded their tenth straight win
when they vanquished the Phillies.
The Giants did some heavy hitting
to humble the Braves and the Cards
nosed out the Reds.
Babe Adams, veteran hurler, was
the hero Of the Pirates 2-to-O win.
He held the Cubs to three hits. all
singles, and walked but two batters.
Carey, Pirate. center fielder, made a
homer off Vaughn in the sixth in
ming.
Jimmy Rings wildness helped the
Dodgers to a 3-to-0 victory over the
Phls. He walked two in the first
inning. and these passes. mixed with
a sacrifice and fielder's choice, netted
a brace of runs. A pass and hit
batter were partly responsible for
another tally in the eighth. Grimes
kept the seven Philadelphia hits well
scattered.
A pair of circuit clouts made by
Walker and Smith in the fourth in
ming. started the Giants to a 7-to-2
triumph in their match with the
Braves. McQuillan was driven from
the slab in the sixth and the Giants
hit his successor. Fillingim. for tall
lies in the eighth. Toney easily dis
posed of the Braves.
Fournier's triple, the only extra
base hit of the game. and Lavan's
sacrifice fly in the second inning
were enough to give. the Cards a
to five hits and. the Cards could do
little against Marquard and Napier
after the run had been counted.

Bryan Harris was the main reason
the Nationals did not win yesterday,
and George Mogridge was the prin-
cipal reason the Athletics did. Harris
yielded seven safeties. passed five and
hit two, but four of the safeties off
him were scratches. and he famed
nine. Mogridge was combed for ten
hits and five runs in six sessions.
Schacht following him for two in
nings and Courtney for one. AL
was saved by a double play, but
Harry was not in danger.
Fail in the Pinches.
1t was a sad day all round for the
Washington club. 1t rained from
early morning until after the regular
time Of starting the game. the contest
being held up until AIS O'Clock.
There were more than $500 paid in
the stands. and rather than disap-
point this remarkable gathering. con-
sidering conditions. the teams decid-
ed to play in the frigid atmosphere.
Had the day been clear a crowd that
exceeded the record 24,11S that saw
the Yanks April %. likely would
have been on hand.
The Nationals were weak in the
pinches or Bryan Harris was mighty
upon now you want to look at it.
Anyway, the Griffs had a day Of
wasted opportunities. thirteen being
left on the paths. Duffy Lewis, whose
forte is hitting in the pinch. failed
ignobly yesterday. In four OF his
five times at bat he had a chance to
drive home a run or more. but ne
famed. three times and dribbled in
front Of the plate twice.
Milan walked with one out in the
first and advanced on Rice's out.
Lewis famed. In the third, with one
gone Judge singled. Milan was hit by
a pitched ball and they moved along
pitcher.
Mogridge got lucky hit to open the
fifth and gave the Griffs their lone
score. He was forced by Judge, but
Milan was passed and the bases were
filled when Rice got hit that Cal
loway knocked down. Here Lewis
again famed, but Dykes allowed the
Nationals a tally by fumbling s. Har-
ris' grounder. Dykes then grabbed
Shanks' fly.
Milan walked with one dead in the
ninth and Rice singled. but Lewis
flied out. The Griffs had man or
more on in every other inning, but did
not very seriously threaten.
Three Macks famed in the second.
but they got two runs. c. Walker was
hit by a pitched ball before F. Walker
whitfield Perkins then singled, and the
runners moved up on wild pitch be-
fore ]. Walker struck out. Galloway
followed with a double to count a
pair. B. Harris then took three
strikes.
Singles by Dykes and Dugan and an
error by O'Rourke gave the Macks a
run in the fifth. They added two in
the sixth on four singles. contributed
by Perkins, J. Walker, Galloway and
Dykes.

Base ball fans-those with National
League leanings particularly-are all
steamed UP over the fact that a new
leader in the business of manufac-

the person of George Kelly of the
of McGraw's clan whose clouting

Many wagers have been placed
that he will usurp the pinnacle of
pre-eminence attained last season by
the Bambino. His admirers sturdily
maintain, for instance, that he is a
more versatile hitter than Ruth.
citing the fact that, while the Babe
whacks a large majority Of his four
basers in one general direction, Kelly
hits to all fields.
In support thereof they cite the fact
that Kelly's first this year was off

the right field wall in this city. His
next was into the center field bleach

not lose sight Of the fact that for pure

timing will accomplish much as

In the little game of see-saw be-
tween Washington and Cleveland.
each team seems to delight in alter
mating the lead. Cleveland has
little the better of it because it has
played a greater number of games.
BY monthly summary April finds
Pittsburgh unmistakably superior to
the National League teams of the
west. and Brooklyn as surely superior
to the National League teams of the
east. That is strict running to form
on the basis that Pittsburgh and
Brooklyn are pennant factors.
In the first tilt, as the month passed
out, both Pittsburgh and Brooklyn
enthusiasts may smile complacently
over their keen Judgment Shortly
there will be another arrangement Of
games which will be a greater test
of the skill of the present leaders.
Aprirs end found Cleveland leading
its western rivals safely. though by
little less margin than the Pitts
burghers led the National League.
Washington, however. had outdis-
tanced the eastern half of the Ameri-
can League, and that was not on the
cards at all. In the overwhelming
rush to name New York as the great
contender. except Cleveland, Wash
ington had been overlooked.
The manner in which Alexander
the great pitcher Of the Cubs, was in :
Jured is without precedent or parallel
in base ball. Prior to the opening
game in Chicago he was warming up.
