nances for May showed ordinary re-
ceipts aggregating 1924, 100000, which

say. u.e Of Tobacco Good.

Atlantic City, N. J.-Dr. w. H. Gel
ston of Camden told the New Jersey
State Dental Society's convention that
an "old-fashioned chew Of tobacco" is
one Of the best disinfectants known to
dental science. He declared II reform
ers succeeded in banishing tobacco dis
eases of the teeth and gums are likely
to increase, adding: Tobacco forms
a sislagogue around the teeth thus
preventing bacteria from getting a
foothold. A cigar performs the same
function to less degree, but cigaret,
because of it's paper wrapper, has not
the value in this respect"

The pinch single has more percent
age in it than the home run.
George Kelly made his first home
run in the major leagues on Septem-
Der z, 1919. .e;-lr.IAla.ial
Watchful waiting is the only way
fans can dope the Babe Ruth-George

Propaganda for summer baseball
for college players is rapidly being
famed into a blaze.
The Rochester club has released
Pitcher George (Polly) Snyder to Suf-
folk of the Virginia league.
A microscopic study of George
Kelly's home run style reveals the
painful fact that he is fiat-footed.
Rookie pitchers in the big leagues are
unable to curve the new balls as much
60 they did the old ones in the minors.
To make the Indians see red, mem
ton Red Faber's hair Faber held the
world champions to two hits and beat
them.
Anyhow, with the White Sox down
where they are, they can't accuse
Judge Lands of favoring the home
team.
Perhaps one reason why Bill Rari-
den decided to- sign up with the Reds
is that the cold snap wronged his
peach orchard.
