PHIL DOUGLAS
ENDS CAREER
BY OWN HAND
Davis J. Walsh Believes 1t
Would Be Affront to Decency ,
to Reinstate Him.
BY DAVID J. WALSH.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-Some mis-
guided persons, are making a be-
lated and foolhardy attempt to
whitewash Phil Douglas in the eyes
Of the baseball public. A petition.
so they say, is to be circulated
at the Polo Grounds, asking the
following question: Do you believe
Phil Douglas should be reinstated? ?
II that question is ever PROFOUND
ed, II should go down as some
thing of a near r-classic Of the bur
lesque circuit. 1t is SO good that
a supplementary list Of any kind
seems hardly necessary. However,
we suggest the following:
Do you believe, coal dust is good
for the eyes?
Do you believe William Jennings
Bryan would be better off for n
correspondence course in elocution?
Is not ground glass a pa.atable
and tasty dish?
Was Solomon a dumb Isaac?
Answer yes and sign your full
The career Of Phil Douglas, once
and for all, Is dead.
It died by it's own hand and some
how the corpe of a suicide Is less
presentable to the eye than any
other. 1t seems like an affront to
good taste to have it hanging around
so long.
This writer has nothing against
Phil Douglas. Indeed, few con-
fessed derelicts have been given
| the benefit Of greater sympathy
and the writer is one of those who
feels that 1t was all a mistake on
Phil's part. But he cannot come
back to baseball anymore than q
| self-confessed absconder can be re-
turned to his desk at the bank.
The reasons for this are obvious.
First off, 1t would set a deplorable
precedent. Again, there is no as
surances that Douglas would not
do something worse provided his
habits are incurable, as alleged.
Furthermore the fans of the coun.
try, to say nothing of seven other
National League clubs, would not
stand for the Giants, already in
bad favor, winning a pennant with
discredited pitcher.
Douglas mental processes, none
too clear at best, undoubtedly were
very foggy when he wrote that
discriminating letter. He wasn't
himself. And we might add, nei:
ther is the inflamed citizen who
runs amuck in the streets. Roth
constituting a menace to society,
the latter Is shut up and ! the
former barred from baseball
Douglas never was a credit to
his profession and because of his
unseemly habits was bufteted from
one major league city to another.
The to,t rance of John McG taw and
New York fandom had allowed him
to remain here much longer than
in any other town. But he seems
70 have overstayed his welcome.

IELH LODGE OFFERS
TWO SCHOLARSHIPS
FOR HIGH STUDENTS

Two scholarships for pupils of the
Richmond high school were estab-
hshed by Richmond lodge Of Erks, No.
S49, Thursday evening.
The purpose OF the scholarships Is
to encourage worthy boys and girls to
tic or vocational training after they
have completed high school courses.
] The tuition for this training Will be
paid for by the lodge. The scholar
ships have a worth of $500.
The Elks' scholarships VIII differ
from those ordinarily offered in that
they will be open only to boys and
girls who have been fighting against
financial handicaps in obtaining their
high school education.
In conjunction with Superintendent
Bate, Principal Cline and the scholar
sthp committee of the high school, the
following points have been agreed
upon as the basis for the proposed
scholarships:
First, handicaps undergone and
those likely to continue; (2) persever-
ance in the face of difficulties (31
scholarship; az mental attitude; 90
participation in school activities; 60
dependability; Cd potential worth.
Scope Is Broad.
The scope of the scholarships is so
broad, said lodge officials, that 1t does
not confine the successful candidates
to specific college training, but will
permit them to obtain training in tho
courses which will make them better
units OF the community. Announce
ment of the scholarships would be
made at comm time.
I'VE have felt for some time" said
a lodge official, shat many boys and
girls are fighting against pretty stitf
odds to obtain high school education
II our scholarships will enable boy
to spend a year in college or in the
pursuit of technical training or viii let

of higher learning or in taking an adj

them new hope and increased courage

vided the service which we have in
mind"

IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys
and Neutralize Irritat-
ing Acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says noted au.
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder, where it otter remains to II
ritate and inflame, causing a. burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an in
flammation at the neck of the bladder,
obliging you to seek, relief two or
three times during the night TIE
sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with scald-
ing sensation and is very profuse;
again there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful. this is really
one of the most simple ailments to
overcome. Get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu.
tralize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs, which
then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon .joice, combined with lithia
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes nc
bad effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant, efferves
cent Whitewater drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.
