OLD RELIABLES
GETTING AWAY
TOPOOR START
Left-handers in Particular Run
ming Into Bunch of Hard Luck
in Early Games.
By JOHN B. FOSTER

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus)
New York, May 5.-Cincinnati
and st. Louis between them have
scored the biggest ninth inning of
the season. Cincinnati made six
runs and St. Louis five with one
out but the fifth ended the game.
1t was headed for a record but the
finish of the contest arbitrarily
stopped the fun.
Some old reliables who pitch in
the big leagues are having a hard
time to get started. That is one
reason why some managers are
wearing faces which reach down to
their weary feet.
Look at Rixey out in Cincinnati.
He was to have been the depend
able left handler of the Reds and
before the year is over he may be-
Just now he is nursing a grievance
against Mistress Luck. He has
won one game and lost four. Four
defeats are a whale of a handicap
at the beginning of a season. 1t
almost means a setback for a
month when you realize that left
handlers do not pitch much more
than once in every five games.
Ten for Williams.
Kenneth Williams has made his
tenth homerun. Babe Ruth has a
rival. Better keep an eye on this
st. Louis sapling. If he can main
tain his pace he can set a higher
mark for hOmeruns than Ruth has
written on the tablets of fame. He
is moving at the rate of seventy
homers for the season. The home
run infant Ruth has been separat-
ed from his tonsils and from now
on expects to live a life of peace
Tonsils and ball players are not
homogeneous. Tonsils are poison
to ball players. They are the char
ley horse of the throat.

BY ]. L. HUGHES.

Milo Craig, Kewane youth, broke
In with a shutout victory over Du-
buaue in the closing game OF the
series, at Douglas park yesterday
afternoon. The score OF to 0 made
a sweep of the series for Rock Is
land.
The youngster had everything his
own way from start to finish. Aft
er his mates gave him four runs in
the opening frame, there was new
er a doubt but that he would hold
the advantage. Dubuque threat
ened to score only once or twice.
Six hits credited to the visitors
were all of the scratch variety. Not
a bingle reached the outfield.
Craig had everything; good con-
troll, a fast one and an excellent
curve that invariably broke sharp
ly across the plate. Lefty" Blen-
ner, who opposed the Islanders on
the slab, Jared much better yester-
day than he did opening day, when
the local boys drove him and two
others from the mound. The Is
landers converted a triple, single,
base on balls and bad throw into
four runs in the first inning, and
this was plenty for Craig.
Norton started the initial spasm
by drawing a pass from Blenner.
Swenson laid down a neat sacrifice.
Norton came home a moment later
on McEwan's triple to the left field
fence Fillingham walked and
stole second Newell grounded out,
Bienner to Hepner. With one gone
and the count two and two on
Gray, McEwan took a long lead off
third and dashed for the plate as
Blenner wound up. Hit it," he bel
lowed to Gray as he came tearing
into the plate. And Gray did, right
on the nose Fillingham followed
MeEwan in on the single.
The Islanders threatened numer-
Gus times during the remainder OF
the game to increase their total,
but on the whole Blenner settled
down and twirled a creditable game
the rest of the distance.
Gray and McEwan hogged the
batting honors of the Islanders.
This pair divided six of the eight
hits between them. Gray connected
for a single, double and triple out
of four times at bat, while McEwan
contented himself with a triple and
two singles in five trips to the
plate. Gray's triple struck the
center field fence so hard that the
ball rebounded half way to the in
field. McEwan's triple brought up
against the left field fence.
1t was an unlucky day for catch
ers. First crack out of the box, AL
Downey, Islander backstop. failed
to get out of the way of a pitched
ball. The sphere struck him on the
forearm and put him out Of the
pastiniing. Manager Councilman
took up the receiving burden,
bringing Gray in from the garden
and sending Radloff to the outheld
post.
In the third inning, Catcher Tar
gee of the visitors stopped one of
Bienner's slants with the tip of a
finger on his right hand, causing
a bad laceration. He was taken
from the field to a physicians Of
flee.
Clarence Hepner of Kewanee
was used at first base by Larry
Mullen. This youth was with the

playing season. Although failing To
connect safely in four trips TO the
plate, Hep looked good in the field

New York, n. Y, May 5.-Betting
odds not only at the ringsides of
New York, but elsewhere have been
showing a funny tendency to flop
and vary generally in the past few
months. The reason for this may
be left to the ina gination. Fighters
who listen to gamblers and play
their game are not wise boys. For
they are working dead against the
best interests of their livelihood.
1t required some effort, they say,
to get Johnny Dundee into the ring
with Lew Tender. The only way it
was done, according to the story.
was to sting the Scotch wop's
pride. Maybe so. But if so, it is
the first time on record where
Johnny Dundee had to be urged to
get into the ring with any fighter.
Everybody's doing it. What?
Ducking Billy Miske, since the St.
Paul fighter developed into his
amazing present day form. Bill
Brennan avoided a match with him
after the articles were signed and
Gene Tunney's manager declined 20
entertain a Miske proposition.

SOLOMON'S TEMPLE

Now that Palestine has passed under
the mandate of Great Britain, it has been
seriously suggested by Freemasons and
others, that Christian ediice fashioned
like that built by Solomon, should be
erected upon the Temple area.
1t is stated that the various Christian
denominations are to be approached in re-
gard to the matter, and some reference
to the possibility of the scheme is therefore
appropriate.
But the fact is, few realize the magni-
tude of the proposition. The Temple built
was one of the grandest structures ever
raised by man. No other building of
ancient or modern times can compare with
it. AS to the bulk of the work and ma
terials, we have only the figures given in
the Bible and other sacred writings.
Solomon built his temple on ridge east
of the city of Jerusalem, known as Mount
Moriah. This is supposed to be the spot
where Abraham offered his son Isaac. In
David's day this was open country, with
farm and threshing floor, owned by a
Jebusite, one, Ornan, from whom David
bought it. Solomon commenced his mo-
mentous task in the fourth year of his
reign, s92 years after Exodus from Egypt,
and 3,1O2 years according to biblical
history, from the creation of Adam. 1t
was finished in the eleventh year of Solo
mons reign.
In Chronicles we read of 100000 men
being employed by Solomon in quarrying
and carrying stones, many of which must
have been of gigantic proportions. Close
to the Damascus Gate at the north end of
modern Jerusalem, may be seen an old
subterranean quarry, called Solomon's
Ouarries. This was discovered a decade
or two ago, and it is supposed that the
stone used in the erection of the Temple
came from these underground chambers.
Engineers have stated that sufficient ma
terial has been removed from these vaults
to build the city of Jerusalem, as it now
stands within the walls, three times over
