Carl Mays May Be SerUing Last Year In Major Leagues

NEW YORK, Aug. 28-Carf Mays, the Yankees famous singer of under slung slants, and one of the best pitchers in the American League in the season of 1921, when the Tanks were winning their first pennant, may fade completely out of the mapor leagues after the world series this fall. The Yankees have not openly asked offers for Mays or waivers on him but it is reported that Miller Huggins manager of the club, sees the finish of Mays in the near offing.
 Mays won 27 games and lost only nine in 1921 and his pitching alone was largely responsible for the entry of the New York Americans into their first world series. For several seasons his peculiar manner of deliy- ering the ball from a low, swinging crouch, with his pitching hand al most grazing his shoe-tops was puzzle to the hitters of the Ameri- can. loop. Last year he won only 12 games while losing IA and in 1923 he has been so far off form that he has not been given a regular turn in the box.

.FirpO Using His Left In Practice
 Workouts In Ring

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., August 2S. .-tBy Associated Press) Banging away with lefts, straights lefts, hooked lefts and uppercut lefts- Luis Angel Firpo punched four spar ring partners dizzy in eight rounds of a fairly heavy workout at his training camp this afternoon. Under the cabled direction of Felix Bunge. the Buenos Aires trainer as inter- preted by Horatio Lavalle, the local boss, Firpo is devoting virtually all of his work to development of the portside pile driver
 Several times during today's spar ring session the South American, after drawing his men into corner; would loose the right and in each instance the sharp commands of LaValle could be heard above the thud-thud of the punches, directing the challenger for the heavyweight title to work only with the left. The big fellow obeyed, but withheld most of his power. Even so the punch catchers were well shaken. Some of the critics among the spectators thought that Firpo would do better to quit pulling" hls punches.
 Frank Koebele, the young Brook lyn lightweight, whose style is similar to that of the heavyweight champion, furnished stiff opposition for the challenger.
 Koebele's straight rights for the jaw and left hooks to the body sell dom fell short of their mark, but Luis Angel took most of them "go- ing away never receiving the full force of the blows. He shot his left straight to Koebeles face and hooked his jaw unerringly through out the two rounds they spared.
 Leff Clarke, the Joplin Ghost, though his shiny head bobbed up and down in and out necessarily, could not escape a drubbing. He was bit groggy at the finish. Joe McCann and Natalie Pera were made to miss repeatedly and they, as well as Koe- bele and the Ghost, were pretty well done up by the Firpo left
 Firpo intends to continue his work without let-up until September 12, two days before the fight. He now weighs around 210 pounds.

BATES AND STEWART WILL PROBABLY TRY THEIR WILES
 AGAINST BRUINS IN DOUBLE
Nv MAC


 The gods of baseball decreed hat 1t should be decided in one throw of the dice, and so Wednesday Barons and Bruins will bring to a close their last series of the season at Redwood with a double-header Tuesday it rained. even as it rained way back wonder in the day of Noah. and the pastimers stuck closer to their rooms than the paint ings on the old shaving mug.
 Bruins and Barons are in the midst of battle today, with sec ond place virtually at stake. Should the men of Stewart con- tinue their steam rolling aetivi- ties and sweep the series with the Bears-even as they swept the series with the Atlanta Crack CTS last week-Bert Nie- hoff would take his pastimers from Birmingham scarcely one jump ahead of the Barons. The squirting men of Stewart cant oust the Bruins from runner-up position during the present se- ries, but they can make it so un- comfortable for the Bears that their morale would be sadly shaken.
 Tuesday 1t rained-even as it rained way back wonder in the days of NOah-and the pastimcrs couldn't have played ball had they an ark the size of three baseball diamonds. The gods of baseball would prefer they risk it all in one throw, so a dOubses header has been scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. The first game will begin at 2t15 o'clock.
 Red Bates, the bean pole of the crew, will probably be sent against the Bears in the first game. Red has been going along very nicely these past few weeks, and his fast one has had more hops on it than Milwaukee eel lar. If Red chances to be right, the Bruins will have trouble with him-even though right-handed twirler is supposed to be easier for a southpaw batter than any other kind of chunker Bert Nie- hoff will probably send Tony Faeth, one time Vol, against Bates and the Barons Faeth is the "steamboat" twirler of the leagues crop-that is, he does his padding from the side arm. Faeth's side arm delivery has proven difficult for quite a few teams in the league this season.
 Walter Stewart, one of the vvisest little sOuthpaws in the circuit, is slated to get the sec Ond assignment, but Manager Stewart couldn't decide last ntght whether he would use stewart or King Brady, the slow ball hurIer. SenOr Jose AcOsta will probably be sent in for the Bruins.
 After the Mobile series at Redwood winds up Wednesday, then come the eague-leading Pelicans. It win be Mobiles final showing of the season at the strnn ahnld of the Rarons.

scorrs ROLLED BY RAIN

A pair of ivory hunting big league scouts stepped off their Pullmans Tuesday morning to the pattering of the raindrops, even as a general might be met by the at-a-tat-tatting of the drum corps The two-none other than Dan McAllister of the Cleveland Indians, and Eddie Holly of the Boston Red SoX- spent the day in idleness and conversation, as the weather pre- vented pastiming at Redwood yesterday afternoon.
 MeAIIistcr and Holly stayed over. however, and will see the two teams in action this after noon. It was reported rather authentically last night that the pair is looking over trio of the Mobile players, namely; Catcher HeVing, Pitcher Fuhr and Out fielder Denny Williams.
 As for the Barons, 1t is hardly probable that the team which sent such players as Roy Moore, Ed Wells, Ed Goebel Walter Stewart and Flip Neun to Bir- mingham is worrying about the opposition copping off any of Manager Stewards stars. Detroit probably has a lock on any play ing talent the Barons might de- Velop to such an extent that a big league trial is deserved.
 Jake Miller. now that he has returned to the lineup as a reg ular, has been making good on all those early season predic- TiOns that he would be one of the leading BarOniaI clOuters. Miller is hitting the ball on the nose these dayss and doing it often, too.
 Today, the Bruins, and after that the Pelicans. It's up to the men of Stewart. How solidly the fans are behind them is con clusively proven by the crowds of thousands of fans that have been witnessing each game at Redwood since the team returned home. If the Barons continue to win and to draw, Birmingham will have a look-in on leading att tendance honors when the final reckoning comes, despite that monstrous gathering of 14,000 fans which saw the Bruins beat the Pelicans at New Orleans Sunday.
 GlAade Wilson was given an other brutal decision down at Shreveport Monday night. Claudio has fought down there twice, has been given two bad decisions, and twice his showing has pre- cipitated q near riot among the spectators. Seems like Tommy TOmplSins will have to ban that town after all.

The cities selected are: Morristown

Atlantic City, September IA.
These meetings have been arrang-
ed for the ome of New Jersey
by the Extension Service of the New

Ida Harrington, home management
specialist and Mrs Catherine Grie-
bel, clothing specialist, are being as
sisted at the demonstrations by Miss
Leiby of the Gossard Company. Real
fittings will be demonstrated.
Mrs. Harrington says There are
many causes for backache (most of
them preventable) but the most fool
ish cause is a poor corset. If COM
Portable corsets cost more than UNI
comfortable ones there might be
some slight excuse for choosing the
cheaper article. Since investing in
good ones means only the spending
of a little more time and thought
and since it yields the sure return of
time saved by giving the human ma
chine better working conditions. isn't
it poor business to so IN enduring a

POOR TASTE

..Have you running water in your room, Mrs. Huntf"
sOhl my yes. Haven't you?"
Running water I should say not. Nothing but those
atrocious wash bowls and basins. Disgusting things. One
never feels properly groomed when one has to depend on such
means of making ones toilet. And how are the meals at your
hotel9 Do you have good dessertsg Is the, pastry good2"
''The table is excellent. We have a fine pastry cook. She
makes delicious biscuits and pit crust. Too delicious in fact
for me. You know how | love to eat such things and | am
gaining too much weight eating so much fattening food. Is
the table good at your hotel, Mrs. HydeY"
"Oh I suppose we get enough to eat, but there is so little
choice and the service is SO poor. The portions are large
enough and it is well cooked but there are none of the extra
little delicious touches that one enjoys
why don't you leave and come across the lake to our
hotel?"
Eyes, that would be fine, but the board at your place is
nearly double what we pay. We don't feel that we can afford
it this summer with all the extra expenses of the children
going to college this fall.'
Such was a conversation I overheard on a hotel piazza.
Isn't that just like the inconsistency and unreasonable
ness of some women? Finding fault with the mediocre ac-
commodations and lack Of frills which her hotel afforded, but
not able or willing to pay for them.
l dislike to her people continually criticize their accom-
modations at a boarding house or hotel, don't you? | always
feel why do they remain if it does not suit them. II they do
remain because it is the best they can afford, what poor taste
it is to be continually crticizing. Don't you think SO?

This is the season of hives. for

covered what foods give them
hives, but the mother is often dis
tressed to discover that for no
apparent reason her child is all
broken out with terrific looking
welts.
Hives are simple enough TO
cure, once the cause is known.
All n a do in this direction Is
to think back over the foods eaten
the previous day or so and e in
what way they differ from the
usual diet. Eggs will give some
persons hives, many kinds OF
fruits will give rnen TO others.
especially peaches and strawber-
ries. The cure is to avoid those
fruits or foods in the future.
Children on a milk diet should
be examined by a doctor to discover
the cause. No child should be al
lowed to suffer with hives when the
elimination Of some element Of his
diet will relieve and cure him. An
acid condition of the system is Of
ten to blame and that is the reason
that good doses of milk Of magne-
