C|ANTSLOST3 So
POINTS IN Jul
That's the Real Significance
Their Purchase Of Only
Promising Pitcher.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER

Copyright, 1922, by The Argul
New York, Aug. 1.-The real s
nificance of the Giants sally i
Boston emerging with the d
promising pitcher roaming ON
Fenway range, is that during
month Of July the world clj
pionship team lost 80 points In /
centage. That's a tough situa4
for a team which holds the p
nant Of its league and floats .
yards of bunting proclaiminy
superiority to the tickle world.
champions have been wearing
their knickerbockers on the oil
door and they can't stand much
that sort Of thing il they are pr
erly collared by brave and an
tious youngsters.
While New York lost 80 POI
st. Louis gained 80. That's Cd
thing else to think about But
Louis with all it's gain never
gained as much as it should
amount Of opportunity which
presented itself. That's why
whip must be put to the Cardil
all of the time. II they lag
will never make the mark for Vi
they are aiming.
But consider other turns in
National race. Cincinnati gal
% points and Chicago gained
That doesn't say that either
them is headed straight into CHI
pionship lane but it does pile
the obstacles confronting
York as steady improvement on
part Of the three western TEL
which will make it all the hal
for the Giants. Boston and Ph
delphia are out of it and Vrool
is now merely a hazard Of
course.
In the American league the
Louis Browns walked like the
In July-backward. They lost
points. 1t isn't much but New
gained Is SO the net gain OF
champions in that tribe was
, points. Three or four Of such
would send the stock of the Yi
skyward. Chicago gained i
points and Detroit Is. In o.
words they about held the pace
the Clevelands picked up So 20
on everybody which is by FAR
best and the most SNOWY spur
the American league race all OF
season.

Spike Webb, the boxing coach.
who has made of the naval acad-
envy boxers a set of young battlers
second to none in the seats OF
learning in the land, recently
dropped in at Urbana to take a
course Of study in the summer
coaching school. 1t is hardly nee
essary to say that Spike sought no
instruction in the gentle art of
teaching the youthful fists to fly.
Not at all. He wanted--to pick up
concerning baseball and
track. It is questionable, however,
how much knowledge of these
sports he will acquire, for as soon
as the students at the school found
out who he was they descended up
on him and impressed him into the
service of teaching the manly art.

Griffith. the newly appointed COM

The turf courts at Seabright
where the worlds tennis stars-or,
rather, most of the. worlds tennis
stars-are in competition for the
Seabright bowls are not only set in
alluring environment but the turf
is nearly perfect. Many years ago
soil and seed were brought to Sea-
bright from England and on that
soil and on the grass from that
English seed the tennis players are
now in action. OF all turf courts in
this land it is likely that the Sea-
bright ohlongs come nearest to
meeting the traditional English
standard surfaces.
One wonders whether in America
there is a spot that combines more
adequate facilities for sport than
the vicinity Of Seabright. While
the tennis experts are playing on
the courts you can glance from the

REAL FEATURE
Teneyck and Plaist-

Boat Race.
BY WALTER CAMP.

Copyright. 1922, by TheArgus)
Many stirring races are expected
in the three-day annual regatta Of
the National Association of Anna
teur Oarsmen on the Schuylkill, at
Philadelphia, beginning Thursday.
To the many students of the value
of sports the most interesting will
be the race between James A.
Teneyck and Fred Plaisted, both
headliners in their day and both
now past the three score mile
stone, yet ready to step into a shell
again and show speed of which
many younger man might well be
proud.
ing has caused many a man to suf-
fer from weakness of the heart and
an early and untimely deaths It will
be Interesting then to note the
condition Of these two men who
have been on the water a good part
of their lives. Teneyck, it is said,
has kept up his rowing and Plat
sted no doubt has not been q
stranger to the oars. 1t is unusual
In any sport to see men 60 years
of age setting forth in athletic
contest.
I This is one of those rare oppor-
tunities when interesting scientific
data could be obtained II the men
were examined by physicians be.
fore and after their race. In fac,
one OF the most vitality interesting
things that our medical profession
could do would be to make many
and varied tests of the results Of
strenuous exercise. Such tests have
been made by universities but the
results have not been given to the
general public who, after all. would
reap the greatest benefits from 4
knowledge OF how the human ma
chine reacts under various form.
Of exercise. Many q man in middle
life would like to know whether Il
is best for him to continue or give
up tho most strenuous forms o.
daily exercise.

Some people are still just about as

with him a young man living in one
of the rooms Of a first-tloor apartment,
stood in the outer vestibule wondering
how he could get in without letting
his landlady know Of his latest negli-

Unlocking the front door was a sim
pie matter for anyone in the apart
ment, since all. had to do was
press button, but unfortunately, the
button was at the front Of the apart
ment and usually when the young
roomer arrived, which was about sup

him. CHANGING over the rows Of mail
boxes OH the wall E i his side, he chose
q button above one Of them belonging
to a top-floor apartment.
He pressed the button and waited
no response. Then he pressed another
button and moment later heard the

WILL DOCTOR SAILORS
s.-BY WIRELESS ORDERS
(By United Press)

San Francisco, March 14.-No
longer. will the sick sailor in mid
ocean be piled with pink or white
pills of doubtful content from the
ships medicine-chest by a first mate
who has no knowledge Of medicine.
At least not on the Pacific.
Through an arrangement between
the San Francisco marine hospital,
the Seaman's Church Institute, and
the Radio Corporation, sailors who
are taken ill on the high seas will
hereafter be ministered to by wire
less. The plan is this:
When sailor is taken i'll, the ves-
sci will send wireless message tell
ing as near as possible what is the
matter with him, what he complains
Of, his fever, pulse, etc.
The Radio corporation will rush
the message to the Marine hospital,
where physicians will diagnose the
symptoms, prescribe remedies and
advise as to treatment.
The prescription will be. flashed
back to the ship and given to9the
first mate, who will then be respon-
sible for acting according to doc
tors orders"
No charge will be made sfor the
service.

IAN EAR FOR AN sEAR"sIS
CARRIED OUT IN ARGENTINE
(By United Press)

Buenos Aires, March 14.-The old
legal code that provided ian eye for
an eye" was literally fulfilled re-
Gently in connection with the politi-
cal murder of the Governor of the
Province of San Juan, .Dr. sAmable
Jones, only in this case it was an
"ear for an ear" Following the
murder it was discovered that some
one, apparently one of the assassins,
had cut the lobe off of one of the VIC
TINS ear, perhaps for a souvenir.
Several days later number of men
were arrested charged with knowl-
edge Of the crime and thrown into
Jail. One Of them, supposed to be
the actual murderer, later was at
tackled while in Jail "by persons I'M
known" and when found by jail
keeper later the lobe of one of his
ears had been neatly severed.
