Curtiss Orders Arrests.

vaded the sacred corridors of the

trade led to an open declaration
of war from Senator Curtis (Rep)

Gagged In the bootlegging business

Wise boys, those boysi"
Which brings up a popular argu-
ment on professional baseball as a

Lefty Tyler and Jack Watson are
all college men and have been sue
cessful in their chosen field.
But the question arises, how will
they be prepared for the long days
after their eyes weaken. their arms
go lame and their legs give out?
The career OF the ordinary pro-
fessional baseball player gives out
when a man in other walks OF life
is Just getting a good start.
II can be pointed out that Il
would be long time before a young
doctor or a young lawyer could
draw down the stipend OF Babe
Ruth, but II must be remembered
also that Ruth went through ten
lean years before he crashed
through the top.
BY the same application and with
the same talent at law or medicine
a young college graduate ought TO
do almost as good after ten years
labor and he would just be getting
started good.

Fans, fanettes and others OF
Wilmington and its epyirons
are prepared for the ~ond
tussle of the series between the
ST. Thomas club and the Bacha-

With better weather condi-

outcome is decided. The game
is scheduled TO start between

Although no announcement
of batteries has been made IL is
rumored that Hawk Hayes will
be sent 10 the hill by the Saints.
Wheeler most likely. will be the
choice Of Bacharach, IL he does
not get today's assignment
