under orders from his physician TO
reduce himself sixty pounds. The
stout man said that the doctor had
told him that unless he made good II
reducing that he might notify the
undertaken. The gymnasium attend
ant said the "shimmy machine" woul&
do the trick and Immediately started
work on the fat man. The fat MAI
made a round trip to Braemen, Ger
many on the America and every day
for several hours he was held in the
embrace of the "shimnly machine"
Late each afternoon, following his
session with the "silimmy machine,
the lat man would step on the scales
in the presence of a crowd of pas
sergers and each day saw decrease
in weight. The fat man literally
shimmied his way across the Atlantic
and after five days in Germany he
returned to the ship to continue his
training and when the port of New
York was finally reached he had LOST
the sixty pounds necessary to the saw
ing of his life. Thereafter the shin

only on the steamship America but
the big liner George Washington.
It is the women travellers who are
making the most of the new innova-
ton and during the trip across and
back the fair sex seem to dominate
the gymnasium of the two big liners.
The gymnasium attendants have a
regular course for their patients and
those who follow instructions CLAIM
to get results. After the "shimmy
machine" session and a shower tho
seekers after reduction go for long
walks around the decks and then
visit the scales to visualize the results
of their efforts.

WINTERS PULLS
FOR ROGERS TO
BEAT WILLIAMS

Winters, Texas, Aug. 9.-This lit
tie town, situated on the plains Of
west Texas, with main street and
not much else, is stirred to a high
pitch today as Rogers Hornsby
falls away from Kenneth Williams
in the race for major league home
run honors.
Winters is the birthplace Of
Hornsby, who as a star infielder
of the Cardinals. trails Williams by
two circuit blows. When the news
papers from the city" arrive here
on the tri-weekly train, lit being
said that the train leaves one week
and tries to get back the next all
the town sports" gather around
/ the corner. there being only one,
and discuss the home run situa-
ltion in the big show.
A system was inaugurated by q
druggist by which the st. Louis
clubs games were posted by in
nings, home runs being shown on
| the display window. Ken would
get his 25th and the crowd would
cheer for Rogers to get his 26th.
Then came Ken's two circuit
blows in one day and the town Of
Winters became quiet. The rabid
fans denounce Williams. but the
wise ones merely say: Wait un:i
Rogers gets started again-then
sgood-by Mr.. Kenneth"
i So. in the birthplace Of Roger.
Hornsby, his name Is on the lips u
every persons-man, woman an6
child. Even the Bohemian farmeri
in the territory surrounding Win

WHITE LUCKY
TO KNOCKOUT
BOB BARRETT
So Says Dougherty,
the Red Heads
Manager.
By FAIR PLAY.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, Aug. 9.-We caught
Jimmy Dougherty, manager of Bob
bic Barrett, as he was leaving the
city. Dougherty believes that
Charley White put his boy away
with lucky punch after the Phil
adelphian had given promise of
knocking his rival for a string of
tripe in an early round. Dougherty
made no other alibi. AS he pointed
out, everybody has been willing to
testify that the man White could
hit he would drop. The fighter
versed in ring craft, however, has
always been able to catch Whites
Geographic messages, giving all
particulars about the intended
blow. Barrett in his inexperience
was pressing in. intent upon moth
ing but a goodnight wallop when
he got one himself.
Studying Barrett as he worked
| with White the writer could not
but wonder why he has been made
SO much of in his home town, True
he was hopeful-or, rather, wor-
shipful before the White fight, but
his work was pretty crude. His
terrifying left lead is more terrify-
ing to the spectators apparently
than to the opponent, since il
wraps itself around his neck nine
times out of ten. Barrett is a wild
puncher. He has all sorts of DOW
er, and fighting spirit OF this nice
looking sorrel top is beyond praise
But, no skill.
The best thing that could have
happened to the boy would have
been course of sprouts as a spar.

BILL JOHNSTON
IN FINE SHAPE
FOR NET SPORT
Norris Williams Had
Better Be On the
Watch.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
The most interesting thing about
Bill Johnston is his superb condi-
ton. Indeed, many of those who
watched the little demon in his
camp at Seabreeze wished most
heartily that he could have met
Tilden. Since that was impossible
they hold the fervent hope that
when the two do meet the little
Californian will be found to have
retained the nerve and indomitable
energy that he displayed against
Norris Williams. In such event it
is felt that Big Bill will be obliged
to look carefully to his laurels.
Mrs. Mallory, too. has come back.
Apparently the return trip across
the Atlantic brought her back to
proper mental and physical equi-
poise. Just how far her triumph
over Miss Bancroft may be extend
ed in appraisal Of her relative form
at the present present may not be
said. There is the supposition that
she would need something more
than sheer physical perfection to
defeat her Gallo rival.
The composition of the British
golf team which will meet our golf
ers in the Walker cup contests
when compared to the personnel OF
the American team, would make il
seem that the British golfers are

the Australian Davis Cup players
