WYE were talking to Johnny

be utterly frank, in a brewery
where he was tanning with lot
Of guys.

man.. grinned Johnny, who is a
1ikeable sort OLA tyke, "he won't.
He can't beat me, if l can't beat
him."
In other words, if Gene Criqui,
the French and European feather
weight titleholder, happens to
hurt the American , boxer next
Saturday, in their battle at the
New York Polo Grounds, Kilbane
will merely box him! Kilbane is
an expert boxer and if he wishes
to make that sort of a, contest,
very likely he will outpoint the
Frenchman.
Boxing fans may take this tip
for what it is worth. Pat Dough-

ing to say that DOME Bush is
making a success of handling his
players, all but the pitchers.
But, and this is a big "but, !"
we do declare here and now that
the Washington pitching staff, as
it has appeared since the season
got under way, could not win con-
secutively for the Yankees, the
Giants or the Mackmen, the thee
best teams in the game today.
The Washington times., 1923-05-31

The question, then, is this.
Will the AS finish this year with
the pace they've set; have they
really got the class of a pennant
winner; are they lacking i'm ex-
perience, are they seasoned
enough in quality to make up for
and team morale make up For
what defects they may have?

In Eddie ROmmel the AS have
one of the best and smartest
pitchers i'm baseball. ROllie NaylOr

The question of the source of the Nila is at once the oldest ana the most recent of geography, The first European to lay claim to having dis covered the true source was James Bruce. The Scotch explorer oeneveu thet the middle one of the three hranches. called the Blue Nile. was tba true river. It was later discoV- cred that he had been mistaken In hls assnmptions. The ancients believed that the westernmost branch, called the White Nile, was the true Nlle. The ancients were right ana 6ruee was wrong. Many explorers sousn' to1race the White Nile to it's source hr+ the greatest discovery of all, that inc Nile really rises in south latitude and crosses the equator, was made by Captains Grant and Spoke, who Tn 1S5C discovered Lake Victoria Nyanza.
