Rennock may or may not prove
the lone. exception, He has been
a reasonably consistent winner for
upward Of a half dozen seasons,
but it is significant that he has
been the victim Of a gradual de-
cline in effectiveness during re-
cent campaigns. Apparently he is
nearing the inevitable end OF a
tether that was none too robust at
any time.
At that his mental hazard is
slightly less than nothing. He has
little to fear from possible COM
parison with the records Of his
predecessors, for it iS a fitting
commentary on their general inep-
titude that George Mogridge and
Doc" Newton were the best OF an
Indifferent lot.
Mogridge is good left-hander,
who only achieved. real results af
ter leaving New York for Wash.
enough to be speedily forgotten
major leagues. Neither can be
mentioned in the same breath
with the great left-handers Of
the game.
Newton was a member Of the
Yankee staff during the pioneer
days at the old hilltop grounds.
Another left-hander Of that era
was Jesse Tannehill. Jesse was all
over and done with at that time,
however, and only paused here on
his way out Of the big leagues.
Subsequently Jim Vaughn sllnn-
bered through several seasons on
the Yankee payroll, but wasn't
worth boot in Harlem He had
slight interest in baseball in those
early days and was turned loose by
several major league outfits before
he caught on with the Cubs and
forthwith became one of the best
left-handers in the game.
Tacks Neuer, Pete Wilson, Harry
Abeles, Ernie Hoff, and Heine
Schultz were further experiments
of the Inflated Farrell regime.
Even Butch" Schmidt, who
attained a mOdicum Of fame as
first baseman for the worlds
champion Braves of 1914, tried
to get by as a left.hander with
the Yanks, but failed to impress,
OF late years Nick Cullop, Herb
Thormahlen, Mogridge, Harry Har.
per, and Frank O'Doul were con-
spicuous at the paymaster's win
dow on the first and fifteenth Of
the month. Their remaining recon-
mendations were obscure.
Mogridge won and lost his share
of games here, but seemed incapable
of his best under Miller Higgins,
while O'Doul seldom got a chance,
and Cullop, Ehormahlen and-Har-
per simply didn't belong.

tered for the 440-yard relay race.
They are the Valcour Club, New

The big interest in the Wilco
Athletic Association games in the
Thirteenth regiment armory next
Saturday night is centered in the
comeback stunt of Abel Kiviat, the
former Staten Island wonder, ma
tional champion and record holder.
In his training stunt thus far
he has done sensational work, and
those who have seen him in action
are not g. bit backward in saying
that he has accomplished what he
has been after for seven years.
to get back into the fold again.
At q recent official trial for
the half mile, KiViat went the
distance in little over two
minutes, which is remarkable
for q man who has been out Of
the running for so long, a time.
He is still uncertain as to
whether he will start in the half.
mile or 3,000-meter race at the
games. 1t all depends upon I his
work during the coming week.
The Olympic 3,OOO-meter special
will again be the outstanding fea-
ture OF the Wilco. Athletic Asso-
citation meet, Joie Ray, the Illinois
Athletic Club record smasher, has
assured the games committee that
he will go out for the second leg
on the coveted Hirshon trophy.
Walter Higgins will be the man
that Ray will have to beat. Higgins
is back to the form he displayed
two years ago when he won the
race in fast time.
Other special attractions on the
program are: Triple sprint series
so, 100, and $50 yard dash; $50
yard run, 3O00.meter walk, Metro
politan 1,200-yard relay race, and
880yard run championship. Prac-
tically all the star athletes Of the
colleges will be seen in action at
the meet, and the fight for the
point trophy will be a hard one.

That is because tennis is game

I sometimes think we lay too
much emphasis on winning in this
country. It is the manner in which
we play a game, the manner OF
winning or losing 1t, that really
counts. "A man is often bigger in
defeat than he would have been in

The first natior,al women's cham.
pionship tournamt was played over
the course of the Meadowbrook Golf
Club in Reading, Mass, in 1895. The
last one was staged at White Sui
phur Springs in the year of grace
1922-with the war period as the
only hiatus in the continual string
of championship tussles..
Mrs. Fox has not missed a single
one of them. She is the only person
in the United States who can boast
of the fact that she has qualified
in every national tournament ever
played. Whether it rain or shine,
whether she was we'll or i'll, Mrs.
Caleb Fox has teed off at every
championship from Massachusetts, to
West Virginia, and from New York
to Illinois.
She has never won national title,
but she has always been keen fac
tor. Once-in 1899-she came within
a handbreath of it, when she went
to the final round with Miss Ruth
Underhill at Bala. But, though
never an American champion, Mrs.
Fox has won scores of sectional titles
and cups and medals by the gross.
But the moral of the story lies
not i'm the fact that she has
gained SO many victories in the
past, but the fact that, after more
than thirty years-Of gOlfing effort,
she still can give the youthful
champions of the day a tussle for
their laurels. H.
Mrs. Fox is the acknowledged
queen of golf in Philadelphia, not
merely because she is the dean In
point of service and because OF her
undoubted skill. She holds that
exalted place by the love of her fel.

tournament. They come to her for
advice, FOR consolation in defeat and
for commentator in victory.
Her excellent craftsmanship and
kindly temper are examples ever

generation. All the girl golfers
want to stand well in Mrs. Fox's
eyes, and they can't do that unless
their actions are above reproach.
&. On the links Mrs. Caleb Fox has
a well-rounded game. She isn't as
long a driver as Marion Hollins or
GIenna Collett; her iron work is
perhaps not so crisp as that of
Alex Sterling, and on the green
she must admit Mrs. Barlow as
her superior; but, like Mrs. Wander

THEIR EXPLANATIONS DON'T EXPLAIN

A number of decately constituted and dlffl-
dent democratic papers over the state are de
ploring the attitude of the American Legion IN
passing resolutions favoring immediate ratlfl-
cation of the Colorado river compact and con-
demning Governor Hunt because he failed to
give the American Legion representation on the
so-called packed pact conference.
The American soldier boy was not afraid to
fight for his country in time of need and he IS
equally willing to fight for his state right noW
regardless of what political party it hits
The eX-service men are for Arizona first and
adopt no pussy-footing tactics in declaring
themselves Delays, explanations which do not
explain and passing the political buck means
nothing to them. They are demanding action
the same kind of patriotic action they gave their
country when called upon.
Whether or not they were snubbed by Cover
nor Hunt is not the big question with them
though the whole American Legion believes it
was directly ignored by the governor
They believe that Governor Hunt is respon-
sible for the delay in not permitting the pact to
be ratified by the legislature. One favorable
word from him and the pact would have been rat
flied. The whole people of the state favor its
ratification and even now it is strongly limited
that Governor Hunt is looking for some grace
fu political way out in order to call an extra ses
sion of the legislature The legislators have
been home and know the will of the people. The
overwhelming condemnation of the governor and
Legislature is no secret and the virile, progress
sive, out-spoken declaration of the American Lee
gion on the question is the honest inward feeling
of practically all regardless of petty political be-
liefs
No, the explanations given do not explain to
the American Legion nor the general public.

SOCIAL GEOGRAPHY

The Social Body is bounded on the
north by Superstition, on the east by
Tradition, on the west by Precedent
and on the south by Conservatism.
Throughout the ages it turns slowly
on an axis called Progress, the two
poles of which ara Dreams and Action,
respectively. When it gets clear
around, it is said that a Revolution
has taken place.
The surface Of the Social Body is
very uneven, the greater portion of it
being flat, which is called Poverty
while there are a few conspicuous
mountain peaks which are variously
named, such as Riches, Greatness,
Craftsmanship. Sometimes these are
real and sometimes they are simply
mirages.

AIRWAY VS.. HIGHWAY

From careful perusal of the Salome Sun,
printed on heilograph to make hot folks laugh
where she danced, by photographer Dick Wick
Hail. we are prone to believe he is either trying
to drown his swimess 7-year-old frog or get
himself murdered by having the county highway
commission scatter the ingredients surrounding
his soul in the sandy soil of Salome with run
away road grader. 1t would appear that Dick
doesn't care whangdoodle, yea verify, not even
the sorched foot of centipede, where the high
commission locates the road so long as it passes
his garage at Salome County highway commits
sioners are a hard batch. Their main idea seems
to be to find out where feer is located then
run the road seven miles from him. It's darn
ed shame Dick but our fore-frontier fathers
should first have laid out all roads and made
folks locate on 'eyn. Never mind, Dick Wick,
we're for you, but would suggest you get all the
ariel way around over Salome taken up with min
ing claims, then pass a city ordinance soakin'
'em for air-way Airway is higher than highway,
anyhow Droppages could be included in your

railroad would cause most trouble. He says he

not, but seems just to have cast his fly out into

a Missouri mule was being shipped
to a farmer in Virginia. A tag with
shipping directions von it had been
securely tied around his neck with a
rope, but in the course of the journey
the mule grew restive and chewed up
both tag and rope.
