Small Crowd Hears
Lecture By Thayer

Professor Gilbert Thayer, an
nounced as a noted health authority,
delivered a health lecture at the
courthouse Thursday night, attended
by very small crowd, owing to the
inclement weather.
Prof. Gilbert gave many interest
ing health statistics, and stated that
a man could easily live to be 100
years old if ne would observe simple
rules of right eating, drinking and
living.
"The majority of the people now
adays live to eat" he said, "and do
not eat to live. The average person
drinks only small quantity of
water day, while he should drink
from 2 to 8 quarts day."
He stated that out of every thou
sand people only 40 reach the age of
go. "The death rate should be less
than l percent" he said, "and would
be if the people would eat night,
drink right, exercise right and sleep
right"

Braves by Furious
Rally in the 9th
Beat Brooklyn
Triple, Double and Three
Singles Produce A Runs
for Team From the Hub

The Brooklyn Dodgers received a
surprising setback at Ebbets Field yes
terday afternoon at the hands of the
pesky Boston Braves. With Uncle
Robbie's men enjoying a three run
lead, the Back Bay Battlers rallied in
the eighth and by combining triple,
double and three singles piled up
four runs or just enough to nose out
the seague champions by score of
7 to 6.
Joe Oeschger for the Braves and
Sherrod Smith for the Dodgers were
the rival roundsmen when hostilities
opened, but although Oeschger man
aged to weather the storm Smith sue
cumbed to the batting outburst OF the
visitors in the eighah. Both teams
made thirteen hits, but the Dodgers
were more unsteady in their fielding,
pmaklng three errors as against the
duff. - :
The Braves were the FIRST to score
one run in the second inning on a
pass to Boeckel and Ford's triple to
center, which the batter tried vainly
to stretch into homer. But this lone
run was more than wiped out by the
Dodgers in the third, after Smith had
famed. Olson doubled and scored on
Johnston's single. Griffith beat out a
hit to the box. Wheat singled, tally
ing Johnston. Schmandt singled, Grif-
fifth counting, and Myers was safe on
Barbare's tumble filing the bases.
Wheat crossed the plate as Boeckel
tossed out Kilduff. Miller went out,
Barbara to Holke.
The Braves got one of these runs
back in the fourth on Nicholson's in
field hit, wild throw by Olson and
an infield hit. The Hubmen scored
again in the fifth, tumble by Kilduff,
singles by Oeschger and Powell and
sacrifice fly by Barbara netting one
run.
In the Dodgers half of the fifth
two more tallies were registered. Grif-
fifth made his third hit and scored
ahead of Wheat when Zach lifted
home run over the right field fence.
It looked very promising for
Brooklyn victory until this wild bat
ting orgy of the Braves in the eighth
swung the pendulum very much the
other way.
The score:
