RICE BIC FACTOR
AS GR|FFS WIN
FROMBOSTON
Mogridge Proves Return to
Form by Winning Second
Straight Game.
By LQIUs A. DOUGHER.

For the second time George Mog-
ridge, DOME Bush's smiling south
paw, has proved he is himself on
the mound. In winning a brilliant
pitching duel from Alec Ferguson,
always a rough customer for the
Griffs to overturn, Mogridge pitched
as fine ball as he has ever done
since joining the Washington club.
The Griffs won, 2 to /, which
shows how close everything was all
the way. Furthermore, the Grlffs
got but seven hits off Ferguson and
the Red Sox got to Mogridge only
five times. Flagstead's home lun
in the fourth provided the visitors
with their one run.
Sam lRice's pair Of triples, one the
result Of good luck. gave the Griffs
their two runs. Judge drove over
the first one in the opening frame.
Muddy Ruel's clout in the eighth
brought over the winning tally.

harm in the eighth, but he had ap-
preached the well too often. He
could not do everything.
Flagstead tried for a shoestring
catch of Rice's opening liner in the
eighth and failed, the ball going to
the fence and Rice to third base.
Rice dared not try to score on
Peck's short fly to Joe Harris and
he waited patiently as Goslin took
third strike across the pan.
Judge had been hitting the ball
hard and so Ferguson passed him
Intentionally. Chick Fewster ran
in to the Boston bench for con-
ference with Frank Chance. Chick
thought he knew Ruels weakness.
maybe. At any rate, he gave his
wisdom to Al Walters and the game
went on.
1t must have been sickening to
Fewster to see Muddy Ruel slam
a hard one through the box and out
into center field, scoring Rice ana
sending Judge on gallop to third.
Mitchell raced out into left field and
pulled down Joey Evans high Ely,
ending the inning, but 1t mattered
nothing as Rice's score represented
the margin of victory.

BRILLHEART WILL HAVE
TRIAL WITH SHREVEPORT

Jehosephat Besselievre Brillheart
leaves today for Shreveport, La, to
report to Ira Thomas Texas League
club. The Washington Club retains
it's ownership, and if the young
southpaw improves with steady
work, he will come back to the
Griffs for another trial.
President Griffith and DOME Bush
agreed several weeks ago that Brill
heart needed constant work. When
they sought to waive him out of the
league, however, they were constant
ly prevented by the refusal Of differ
ent clubs, notably the Red SoX and
the White Sox, to let him go.
Finally every club in the league
agreed to let the youngster so, real
izing that the washington Club had
no intention of losing him.

But the owners of the Albany
Eastern League. club were just as
bitter a week ago. when the Yanks
stopped there for an exhibition
game. The management of the Al
bany club came near calling off
the game when they beheld the
American League champions, and
we understand it has made for
NAL protest to Lands.
Ruth was the only Yankee regu-
lar taken to Albany. The Babe
played first; McNally was on Sec
ond, Johnson at short and GaZella,
the new Lafayette players, at third.
In the outfield, New York used FL
mer Smith, Hendricks and Gehrig,
the former Columbia first baseman.
Bengough caught, and Pipgrass and
Roettger did the pitching.
Is it any wonder that Albany
and the Albany fans shouted their
There are other players ON the
Yankees besides Babe Ruth, and
when the New York Americans
were advertised the fans of Al.
bany naturally expected to see
Pipp and Meusel.
Ball players dislike exhibition
games very much. 1t is a sore
point with many of them. There
is a special stipulation in Ruth's
contract that he shall participate
in all of the clubs exhibition games.
Other players have no such clauses,
but they are obliged to play in
contests whenever the
management requests it.
Higgins is justified in resting
up a player like Scott in an exhibit
ton game. SCOTS legs are not
standing up as we'll as they did,
and a rest one day always is most
beneficial to such a player. But
when the Yanks send up an entire
team of utility men. with the lone
exception Of Ruth, it is an imposi-
ton on the fans of the small city,
who pay real money to see the big
town stars.
Either the Yanks should show
their team, using at least five
regulars, or abandon their policy
of scheduling exhibition games on
all open dates.

SHELBY, Mont, June 3O.-Al-
though the fact has been overlook

excitement, the fact that Shelby,
Great Falls. and intermediate points
have been just a little backward
about coming forward with the
500, 900 necessary to assure the
Dempsey Gibbons match July 4,
has been instrumental. seemingly,
in taking the fine edge off Tom
Gibbons. The challenger was like

Kearns' counsel. The latter can
always accept the situation as is, or
call off the show.
Gibbons no longer seems able to
step around like lightweight and
slip a punch with amazing skill
Within forty-eight hours he has
gone back on his heels and men
like Bud German and George Man

convenience. Both are worthy citi-

Owing to the discrepancies in
the size Of the principals, although
studied effort was made to create
the impression that these were Il

achieve remarkable condition and
Dempsey virtually none at all for
the challenger to figure as a DOS

winter for the purchase Of Joe
Boley, Of the Orioles, may be
nomentariiy expected from the New
York Yankees. In fact, incidents
of the present trip Of the champs
to Jersey City, during which they
have been quartered in the Hotel
McAlpin, this city, lead to the belief
that discussion Of the contemplated
deal is now progressing between Of
ficials of the New York and Balti-
more clubs. Confirmation, however,
is lacking. That is the way of
baseball moguls. They'll deny to
the last any deal until a definite
agreement is reached.

Boxing Readjust1nent
Due Before Next
Winter

Boxing has become such a
popular sport in the past few
years under official supervision
that it has now reached point
where it takes on such a gigan-
tic business aspect that there
are indications of fighting
among the promoters and man
ayers as we'll as among the
boxers. This present summer
will see more championship
fights than ever before in the
history of the sport.
The promoters now aim at
crowds Of $4,000 or more, and
the small club, with its limited
seating capacity and minor
bouts, has been pushed into the
background. The demand now is
for champions, high purses,
great crowds, and record break-
ing gate receipts. Before the
outdoor season is over the box
ing business will have reached
the point where some kind Of a
readjustment will be necessary.

Jess Willard, former champion

HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is Brisk
Purgative With Calotabs, the
Purified and Refined CalomeI
Tablets That Are Nausealess,
Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds, coughs,
sore throat and influence can be de-
pended upon for full effectiveness
until the liver is made thoroughly
active. That is why the first step in
the treatment is the new, nausealess
calomel tablets called Calotabs. which
are free from the sickening and weak
ening effects of the old style calomal.
Doctors also point out the fact that
an active liver may go long way to-
wards preventing infugs "a and colds
and is one of the most important
factors in enabling the patient to
successfully withstand an attack and
ward off pneumonia.
One or two Calotabs on the tongue
at bed time, with a swallow of water
that's all. No salts, no nausea. nor
the slightest interference with your
eating, pleasure or work. Next
morning your cold has vanished, your
liver is active, your system is puri-
fed, and you are feeling fine, with a
hearty appetite for breakfast Gen
uine Calotabs are sold only in orig
inal sealed packages, price thirty-fve
cents for the large, family package;
ten cents for the small vest-pocket
size. (adv)

book except the geography can be

q cost of less than zoe each. In
fact one of the publishers in Toronto
offered tc furnish our copy books,
delivered in Atlanta, at 3 cents each
and they would have in large let
tiers Georgia Writing Book" and l
submitted the offer to Prof. Brit
tain, but he said he did not like the
copy book so that ended it.
We will never have free school
books in Georgia until we adopt some
plan of producing them cheaply. A
publisher in Ontario offered TO
print and bind in cloth a Civil Gov
eminent and deliver it in Atlanta for
8 cents. If we could only have
one book produced in this way, Jhen
such a demand would go up from
our people that all books would have
to be produced as cheaply. By this
plan in Ontario they produce the
primer at A cents; first reader at 6
cents; second reader at cents; third
reader at IA cents and fourth reader
at 26 cents, total of 40 cents for
the entire reading course. We have
just enough sense to pay about ten
time as much for the same books.
The entire cost in the City Of Toron-
to for zee books, pencils, pads
charts and library for each school
in the city is less than 25 cents q
year per pupil and illiteracy is al
most unknown there, so the superin
tendent Of schools writes me. AS
long, as the book trusts wags the sale
OF school books in Georgia, you need
mot talk about free school books.
