Jumping Classic
Attracts Stars
Champion Sweepment to Car
ry Top 1mpost-PreviOus
Winners.

BALTIMORE. May 4.-Eandicap-
per Frank J. Bryan. of the Mary
land Jockey Club, announced last
night the weights for those prob
able starters in the Green Spring
Valley Steeplechase. the most pre-
tentious of all Eastern jumping
events. The contest which is at
a distance of two miles. is down
for decision on Thursday. May IL.
Top weight has been assigned to
the champion Sweepment. He has
been asked to carry 166 pounds
while Pullseye will shoulder 1872
pounds. should he start. These two
are the penalty horses of the event
The others grade down as low as
13a pounds.
With such formidable and bold
jumpers as Earlocker. Houdini,
Free State. Joyful, Overmatch. The
Trout, Sobrigade, Cavendish. Mi
nsta and others Of more .or less
fame against which to compete
Sweepment and Bullseye. the out
standing two of the list. should
find plenty of contention, especially
so when they have to give away
so much weight.
Exaggerated in 1907. this annual
fixture has never been won twice
but by one horse. In 1909 w. NJ.
Kerr's Algie accounted for the
event and repeated the following
year.

owners of the Green Spring Valley

BOSTON, May 4.-The game be-

the members of each club rather

of the Washington club tonight.

ing very well. and the complete
rest for all hands may be a good
thing"
Milan was at a loss to account
for the work of some of his pitch
ers. nearly all of whom are in
good condition.
stars Not in Condition.
Walter johnson and Mogridge. his
two stars, are not yet right, how
ever.
Il started Johnson a little too
soon. 1 guess" said Milan. Pos
sibly 1 did not give due considera-
and that of his wife during the
spring training trip had taken more
out of him than l thought.
However l am very much en-
couraged by his showing in the
work outs and 1 think / shall be
able to start him again in a week
or possibly sooner.
"Mogridge has a sore back and
day. when / think he took a cold
which settled in his back. A few
days of warm weather will, I be-
lieve, bring him around all right.
The pitchers generally came up
from the training camp in good
condition. Erickson was the only
one who developed a sore arm. but
none of them has been going just
right.
'I expect these outs to right
themselves shortly. and when John
son and Mogridge return to form
matters will run along a little
more smoothly and the club get
into its stride.
Shanks' Hand Healing.
"Shanks' hand is still sore and
bothers yet in batting. but 1 ex-
pect he will be all right again in
a few days and be ready to play
wherever I may decide to use him.
Bush has been of great help to
US and has been playing a great
game at third base. No one could
ask for better work than he has
done there since Shanks' injury"
The rain continued here all day
and into the night, and the pros
poets of a game tomorrow are not
any too good.
Gleason and Pennock will prob
ably be the opposing pitchers N
the next game played.

The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1922-07-13
WHO CAUSED THE DEPRESSION

One of the most unreasonable po-
litical arguments being put forth at
the present time, is the idea that the
Republican party is responsible for
the business depression of last year
which has not been wholly relieved as
yet, though conditions show splendid
improvement.
People who put up such claim do
not stop to think that business de-
pressions always create so much dis
organization that it takes time to get
over them. When the Democrats
prostrated the country by their false
economic policies back in 1898, busi-
ness conditions did not change appre-
ciably while they were in power for
four years. When the Mckinley. ad-
ministration came in, the country
made steady progress, but it took a
couple Of years more to recover from
the disaster and shock created by
Democratic mis9overnment.
The country was at the low point
OF it's business reverses when Warren
Harding became president in March,
1921. According to Democratic ora.
tors, by some magic swing of the
wand the new authority should have
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1922-07-13

at any rate the people of Julesburg
so far we have gone through VIII
doctors call "the danger period" of the
year without any more than the usual
amount of sickness, and without seri-
Gus epidemics.
But it is well to remember we are
not entirely out of the danger zone
and that typhoid and the many forms
of summer illness so common in Amer
lea, are still apt to appear in this
community. Careful watch should be
taken to see that drinking water is not
polluted. Because it hasn't been in
the past is no sign that it may no,
be at any moment. Additional care
should be taken in eating and then
working in the hot sun, and still
more attention should be paid to what
we put into our stomachs in the way
of soft drinks and ices. This applies
to both young and old.
From numerous sections come re
ports of serious typhoid epidemics, and
in most instances they are traced d.
rectly to water polluted by improper
drainage systems. They are too ex-
pensive, and we are not thickly pop
ulated enough in this section to main
tain them. But any community can,
by using a reasonable amount of care
keep summer diseases down to q min
imum and not invite an epidemic by
carelessly overlooking the need of
judgment in the way we live our daily
lives. 1t is far better to be a little
careful now than to be sorry for many
years to come.
