They out to win the pennant,'' he declared, for the good reason that in strength they are 25 per cent the best in their league"
 They say they're slow on the bases. Well, they can go from first to third on base hits with any of them, and they can get in from third on a sacrific fly just as often. If they can do these things, which they can, 1t doesn't matter if they can't steal as many bases"

FITZ KAYOED

JefrieS Made Shorter Work of Finish
 ing Cornishman in Second Battle
 Than in First, Ending Bout in Eighth
 Three years after Bob Fitzsimmons lost the heavyweight crown to James !. Jeffries he tried to get it back and failed. Jeffries knocked him out in less time than on their first meeting.
 The second encounter was at San Francisco July 25, 1902, and in the eighth round ended in victory for the champion. Their first fl ght lasted II rounds.
 It was not because Fitzsimmons was an inferior fighter that he failed to come back. for the sport critics said he outboxed Jeffries at every point. But JefrieS had a greater capacity for punishment and a tremendous ad- vantage in weight. Fitzsimmons weighed 1892 pounds. while the cham pion from California entered the ring with 22o pounds.
 Fitzsimmons danced about the heavy swinging Jeffries and sent home many a hard hitting fist. The force of these was impotent against the great bulk of the champion, how ever.
 Fftzsimmons fought a heroic fight. In the deciding moment of the bout Jeffries sent a hard left hand smash against Fitzsimmons' jaw and followed 1t with another left to the stomach that knocked his lighter opponent to the floor.
 F1tzsimmons fighting power was crushed. but not his spirit. Badly dazed, he rose in an effort to continue. Ills strength was gone and he sank down and was counted out

MYSTERY IS UNSOLVED.
President Veeck Performs Autopsy on
 Baseball to Find Reason of Speed.

Chicago, June 11.-President Wnn. Veeck of the Chicago Cubs decided to satisfy the curiosity of himself and some of his players regarding the so- called lively ball now in use in the major leagues, so he cut open a 1920 and 1921 ball yesterday. and those who witnessed the operation state the rubber in the 1921 ball was thicker than in the 1920 pellet. He also cut open two 1921 balls and found the corks in the center of the rubber were not the same size.
 Owing to the variation in the cork and rubber centers of the spheres, Neeck said the mystery of the lively ball remains as much of a mystery as ever.

4 Clean Sweep

The first five miles were covered at a terrific pace, the electric timer recording 3 minutes, 15:48 seconds, a speed of 9l.8 miles an hour.
 From there on the Paige came roar ing over the officials wire with clock like regularity that ate up the miles greedily. Twenty-Five, thirty, fifty min utes went by and there was no notice able slackening of speed.
 When the Paige thundered across the tape at the end of the tooth mile the feat had been accomplished.
 In the most consistent performance ever recorded the records had fallen. The five, ten, twenty, twenty-five, fifty, sev- enty-fve, 1OO-mile and One-hour records had been beaten in every instance by handsome margin.
 The official figures showed that Paige had covered the full century in one hour, minutes and 53,26 seconds, or 89 miles, 151O yards in 60 minutes-which is just 25O yards less than 90 miles, The former hour record was 83 miles. And now for a brief review of "6-66" history.

Breaks Every Official Stock Chassis Record
 From 5 to 100 Miles at Uniontown Track
Speed-P0uer-Endurance

NNCCO OGUCI kHuAIu5I~C When a Paige "6-66" stock chassis made the fastest official time of the sea- son for the Pike Peak climb, some idea of it's amazing power and stamina was revealed 6nder unusual circumstances. When on January 21st the Paige ''6-66" Daytona model travelled at a rate of 1928 miles an hour, thus setting an off, hcial worlds stock chassis record for mile, the Aeetness of the "666" was es- tablshed
 When at 100 different points through out the country 100 new local hill climb ing records were made, the power of the Paige ''6-66' became a countrywide sensation.
 Now with these new records from to 100 miles, made without a stop, Paige has incontestably established it's supreme powers of endurance, as we'll as of speed. There could be no feat that answered all questions of supremacy with greater fnality.
 The lesson to the car owner is obvious No matter what price he may be willing to pay he can find no car on the market today that offers him more than the Paige "6-66''. The record is complete, and Paige stands as the undisputed leader of all American sporting cars.

 Following worlds stock chassis record made January Fist, when the Paige "6-66'' Daytona model covered meas ured mile in :O1 seconds, the Union- town performance caps the climax to a long series of amazing records. Paige, thus, has made clean sweep and stands today the unchallenged mas ter of power and speed-the supreme and unique example among automotive products for heroic stamina and en- durance
 When the mile record fell in January, Paige determined to make the record complete. With the officials of the A. A. A. racing board in charge, the track at Uniontown, Pa, was selected and Mulford driving a Daytona ''6-66' stock chassis was off to shatter records that had remained unassailable since July 18th, 1917.

MONEY IS.EAsIER
THIS CHRISTMAS
Among Other Things Causing
This is Reduction of Rates
Announced by Federal Re-
serve Banks of Sixth District

Announcement of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of the Sixth District, At
lanta, Of a reduction of interest rates
to 5 percent has had much to do
with the sudden increase in money
in circulation throughout the district.
1t struck Brunswick and it has been
easier here for the past several days.
Response by banks, which are mem
bers of the Federal Reserve system,
was almost instant and local finan-
ciers We're greatly pleased at the an
nouncement of the bank in Atlanta
and regard it as the best possible
evidence that money is becoming
more plentiful and conditions general
ly, improving.
The interest rate year ago was Z
per cent. Until the new reduction it
has been five and half per cent. for
the last few weeks. The announce
ment now made by the Federal Re-
serve Institution that the rate will be
3 per cent. means that anyone who
wishes to borrow money and who
has the collateral to put up can get
all he wants if he. Is acceptable to the
Federal Reserve Bank.
The voluntary reduction of the in
terest rates is taken to indicate that
the Federal Reserve Bank has an ac-
emulation of money which it wishes
to put out. II the business interests
of the South takes advantage of it.
as 1t is anticipated it will do, rapid
Improvement of general conditions is
expected to be the result.

SALVATION AR NJ Y
COLLECTING BOXES
The Little Pasteboards, Mes
sengers of Mercy, Might Have
Been Better Loaded" This
Christmas.

Capt. Walsh and his co-workers
have been busy the past several days
collecting in the mite boxes" which
were distributed early in the year at
places in all parts of the city, inclu-
ding scores of homssA The little
pasteboards packages are messages
of mercy but did not receive the at
tention this year as. formerly. The
usual number of pennies, nickles and
dimes, etc., were not deposited and
for this reason, Capt. Walsh and his
band of workers must have help and
there should be no hesitation about
it. Not the least.
There is no organization in the en-
tire world that has done more for
humanity than the Salvation Army
and the scope of their work is of a
worldwide nature. It's organization
extends to places that others do not
reach and even here IN Brunswick it
has done wonderful good and saved
souls by kind words and health by
charity.
This year the number who are to
come under the sheltering wing of the
Army is larger than usual and unless
the public ASSISTS in substantial
way and right now, there will be dis
appointments this Yuletide season.
