Carbon County wool growers are re-
fusing to let their clips 60 to the

and northern Wyoming a very large
percentage OF the wool clip is already
under the control OF the dealers. He
describes wool conditions in other
sections of the state in his weekly
WOO market letter as follows:

POPPY DRIVE A SUCCESS

AlthO full returns have not yet
been received from Carbon County
towns outside Of Rawlins, the re-
cent poppy drive for the benefit of
the disabled veterans Of the late war
is reported as having been very sue
cessful in this city.
During the day and a half of the
drive women workers sold $460.50
cents worth of peoples in the stores
and on the streets of Rawlins-an
increase of $4,000 over the returns
from a similar drive conducted in
this city last year.
The wonderful showing made by
the poppy workers is all the more
remarkable when we consider the
fact that, altho the e derived
this year was considerably greater
than last year, there were less pop
pies sold in the recent drive than
in the 1922 drive.

SALVATION ARMY ENVOY
SPENDS FURIOUGH HERE

Several years ago Mrs. Myrtle
Sawyer, after over 20 years service
as a Salvation Army Lass, came to
Rawlins on a short furlough. After
remaining here for a.short time Mrs.
Sawyer fell very much In love with
this section and secured from the
Salvation Army a furlough of sew
eral months in order that she could
remain here longer.
Mrs, Sawyer accepted a position
as cook for the Seminoe Gold Min
ing Company and for several months
h was employed at the gold camp
at Seminoe mountains, working I'M
der the direction of Mr.. NJ. w. Dill
lon. When the United States en-
tered the World War. Mrs. Sawyer
was called back into Salvation Army
service and was stationed at many
of the army camps in the west and
northwest. Since the close Of the
war h has been in soldier relief
camps in the northwest most Of the
time until about a yea ago when
h was promoted and made an en-
yoy in the Salvation Army.
For the past year Mrs. Saw
yer has spent most of her time in
Salvation Army work in Oklahoma
cities.
Mrs. Sawyer never forgot Raw
Inns and no difference where she
was stationed she was a faithful
reader of the Rawlins Republican
and always kept a close track of the
many friends she made here. The
lure of Wyoming finally became so
great that Mrs. Sawyer asked and
obtained a years Through from the
Army n within a short time after
securing the furlough she was again
in Rawlins, Mrs. Sawyer expects
to secure a position as cook in the
oil fields and spend her entire fur
Tough in this section.
A recent issue Of the Oklahoma
Daily Democrat carried the follow
ing o Of Mrs. Sawyer's work
with the Salvation Army:
Thirty years of service in the Sala-
ton Army. through the period when
1t vas the butt OF coarse jokes, and
the World War. recognized as one
OF the greatest organizations for the
benefit of mankind in all history, is
rather unusual.
Such is the record of Mrs. Myrtle
Sawyer. at present attached to the
Salvation Army Work in Okmulgee
under Captain William Oliver. She
has been continuously in service for
nearly a third of a century, and
while the Salvation Army always
had a Soul. 1t took a world war for
the people to find it.

So long has Mrs. Sawyer been en-
gagged in charity work. that 1t might
be said that her sympathy is i'm
personal. The individual in need Is
viewed as one of many. Every con-
ceivable form OF suffering and pow
er,y has been encountered by Mrs.
Sawyer. She has come in contact
with thousands of the worst type of
criminals in her slum work. The
jargon of the underworld Is familiar

The Griffs won their exhibition
game at Quantico, Va, from the
Marines yesterday, 16 to 5. Cold
berry and Friday, rookie Fingers,
got in some practice on the hill
against the Leathernecks. with
Uncle Nick Altrock winding up.
The tailend White Sox are eleven
and half games behind the Yankees
while the Phillies are twenty and a
half games behind the Giants In
the old league.
The Griffs dropped back to seventh
place yesterday because the Red Sox
were trimming Kid Gleason's White
Hose. The second division clubs
seem to be wearing roller skates
these days.
Cincinnati proved by it's 4-to-3 win
over the Giants that 1t is not the
amount of errors you make, but
when you make them. The Reds
made misplays, but one slip Of Ban
croft In the first for the Giants
paved the way for two Cincinnati
runs-enough to win.
George Burns made five hits in
as many times up for Boston and
the Red Sox won from Chicago,
10 to 9.
Rogers Hornsby returned to the
st. Louis lineup after an absence
of several weeks and inspired the
Cardinals to a 3-to2- victory over
Boston. Two doubles and single
by the premier second sacker figured
in the win.
The Sislerless st. Louis Browns
made four scattered hits off Bush
and the Yanks finally checked their
losing streak with 5-to-0 decision.
Rollie Naylor not only pitched
Detroit into a harmless state, but
his single in the sixth scored two
runs, Philadelphia winning, 4 to 2.
Just when things looked dead
locked, Reb Russell came through
for Pittsburgh with home run with
a man on base. and the Pirates beat
Philadelphia, 4 to 2.
Brooklyn defeated Chicago, 8 to 1.
and broke the Cubs winning streak
of seven straight.

In 1920 Ruth set a new
major league record, for walking
with 148 bases on balls, and
here he is with sixty-four in

in 1911.

Roger Wethered Alters Own
Form TO Suit That of
Opponent.

Roger Wethered. the new British
amateur champion, has paid q
great compliment to Francis Oui-
met, the player he put out In the
semi.finals. Wethered studied the
American players putting form and
altered his own to suit 1t.
Instead Of the more or less
crouching artificial attitude, with
the ball almost opposite the left
foot and the right leg extended,
Wethered now stands like Ouimet,
with his feet close together.
The club is swung pendulum
out the slightest suspicion Of hest
tation in the movement. Wethered
acknowledges that he owes much to
Ouimet for his putting reformation.
The new British champion, ac-
cOrding to Walter Hagen, owes his
place in golf to hts great iron
shots. 1.-The man who can play iron
shots like Wethered, plays them
can win any championship, English
or American"
Hagen remarked, after watching
the British champion. that the Dun
cans, Mitchells, kirkwoods, and Sar-
azens would have stood no chance
against the machine-like' precision
and mathematical accuracy which
Wethered displays.
One of the first things that
Wethered did to change his game
was to give up the obsession for
length which has taken possession
Of SO many golfers. In it's place
he has developed control and is
satisfied to get average distance
rather than screamers. Reckless
hitting with wood has given way to
shorter but better controlled dis
lance with iron. @.
One Of Wethered's best shots IL
& low boring bah hit with \
straight-faced iron. - He has also
mastered the back spin to a higher
degree than even the British pro-
fessionals. Wethered's advice to
golfers who want to improve their
game is to find out things for
themselves. He found out HIS own
mistakes and corrected them.

Player GOT HIS
START SELLING
SCORE CARDS
Lefty" Grimm, Pirates First
Baseman, Was Little Peddler
In St. Louis.

From Score Card Boy to Big
League STAR might be an appro-
pirate title for a biography Of
Charles j. Lefty Grimm. first base
man Of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Less
than ten years ago Charles J. was
selling score cards at the st. Louis
bali park and working out with the
players in morning practice.
Today he is regarded as one Of
the best defensive first basemen in
baseball, and at the start Of the
present season attracted no little
attention by hitting safely in each
of his first twenty-five games.
This performance was all the more
unusual because Grimm was thought
to- be more or less Of a light HIT
ter, although rather dangerous in
the pinches. He did, however, man.
age to hit .31S in 1919, his first
season with the Pirates, but his
normal pace, until the present sea-
son, was about .270
Grimm Nenjoyed brief trials with
two other big league outfits before
catching on with the Pirates. He
appeared in the lineup Of the Phila-
delphia Athletics for a few games
when Connie Mack was cropping
around for a ball club back in 1916
and 1917. Failing to impress, he
passed out OF the picture, tempo
rarily, to reappear with the St.
Louis Cardinals. He hit only .220
in fifty games in 1918 and wound
up the season with Little Rock.
The Pirates purchased him in
1919 for $500. It was a good buy.
In fact, Grimm is the only real first
baseman Pittsburgh has had since
the days Of Kitty Bransfield.

Now for Harris.


II UCKY HARRIS, opposing a
X wise old hand like Dan
Danforth, had to give the
play twist Of his own in order
to succeed. So he did.
With the bases loaded, Harris
was on third. He made the regu-
lation feint to go in, stopping
and returning to his base. He
repeated this stereotyped stunt.
Danforth. paid no attention to
him, though he must have kept
sly eye out for him.
Then came the Harris style of
making the play. Instead of
merely dashing toward the plate,
stopping and turning back, Har-
ris slipped to the ground. That
did it.
Danforth, forgetting that he
had started his pitching motion,
suddenly saw Harris helpless on
the ground and an easy out. The
inning and the game, for that
matter, would be at an end. He
stopped. turned toward third base
and started out to retire the
Griffs' captain.
Harris Immediately called for
balk ruling and Billy Evans had
nothing else to do but permit
Harris to score and advancing
the other two baserunners. Dan
forth had been tricked into max
ing the balk.
