Scorpions Have
Pennant Chance
Yet in League

In the last game of the season,
and with chance still remaining
to the Ell Centro Scorpions to win
out in the championship race of the
Imperial Valley Winter League, the
Calipatria Sheiks will be entertain
ed on the local grounds Sunday af-
ternoon,S and last desperate at
tempt made by the local boys to
stay in the running.
If -Calipatria can be taken into
camp by the Scorpions and the Ell
Centre Independents can manage to
whale the Calexico Camels, this
would give Ell Centre lead of a
half game over Calcxico and Cali
, patria. This would necessitate
playing off the tie game, and the
winner would then have to play
Ell Centre in order to decide the
championship.
Cling to Last Straw
Not much comfort can be derived
from the presence of so many "ifs ;"
between what is and what might
be but it represents chance, and
as a drowning man grabs at q
straw, so baseball fan will grab
at any chance no matter how re-
mote. The Independents won their
first game of the season, and it may
be on the cards that they are to win
the last game. The Calipatria
Sheiks have been pretty well rip

ped to pieces in the last week,
through the withdrawal of "Lefty'
Herman and one or two other star
players, so that the Scorpions
should be able to put the skids I'M
der them.
Calipatria has not been seen in
in action this season and as they
are supposed to have the crack
team of the league, there will doubt
less be a large crowd of rooters out
to see them perform. The Sheiks
will probably pitch Shaney, their
star hurler, and Joe Steele will be
ON the mound for the Scorpions,
who will have practically the same
lineup as they played Sunday.
The Independents will journey to
Calexico headed by Manager Chick,
with the firm intention of making
the final game theirs in an effort
to help the. Scorpions get another
crack at THE pcnnant.

Babe Ruth in
Good Trim to
Sw at in 1923
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
UNITED Press Sports Editor)

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Babe
Ruth left New York last fall and
went up into the farm country of
New England full of resolutions and
promises.
Senator jimmy Walker, faith
err of the Sunday baseball and the
boxing laws, had told the Babe on
the, eve of his departure that "the
dirty faced kids in the street. ex-
pected him to be back on his stride
next season and Babe left saying
he would.
No efforts have been made to
learn if the Babe was keeping his
promise to "stay ON the wagon -
or if he had been chopping wood
and blowing the s1efds, but the
swat King looks like he has been
keeping all promises.
He has lost much of his waist line
his eyes are clear and he has the
same spring, in his walk that he
had in 1921, when he was stepping
up, hitting 'em and running around
the bases.
Ruth says he is going to make a
new record next season and if he
gets away good in the first week
and gets back some of that old con.
fidence, Babe will have a big year
and so will base ball.
The hardest thing in keeping a
heavyweight stable is keeping Fem
heavy, according to James Joy
Johnston, the "Boy Bandit and
the champion gatherer of heavy.
weight hopes.
"They gotta be fed to keep 'enl
heavyweights and they won't dc
anything for their feed"
James Joy says Jimmy Dougher
ty, the Baron of Philadelphia, has
had the same experience.
The Baron has in charge huge
colored heavyweight, George God
frey. George hash t had bout il
months and he hasn't missed 6
meal. He earned some money re

Georgia Starts
Cotton Planting

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 15.-Agri-
cultural activity is the dominant
feature in this territory. Plans for
spring planting are well under way
although hindered somewhat by re-
cent freezes over the cotton belt.
Fertilizer plants are complaining
bitterly of scarcity of ears. Car
riers say the shipments of fertili-
zers and building materials were
far heavier than expected and
southern roads are being taxed to
the limit.
The recent ruling by the customs
department that white arsenic is
duty free is expected here to aid
in reducing the price Of calcium
arsenate for fighting the boil
weevil.
Monday.a special corps of experts
started, travelling throughout the
state, giving demonstrations of how
to combat the cotton pest.

A Law to Prevent Despyp-
tics from Driving Cars.

In its effect on the driver there is
no difference between auto-intoxica-
ton and alcoholic intoxication. Many
legal authorities believe that anyone
suffering from dizziness, whether
caused by drinking or Indigestion, is
a menace to life when at the wheel
of an automobile.
The real remedy, of course, is to
get rid of the Indigestion. If you
suffer from periodic dizziness or auto
intoxication it is sign that your di-
gestive apparatus is deranged. Go
at once to your neighborhood druggist
and get a box of TRH-NlM, the new
preparation put up in capsule form
that gives immediate and sure relief.
The price is so cents box and if
you do not get relief from this danger
Gus symptom, he will return the pur-
chase price. For sale by:

Obituary Mrs.. Henry 8. Palmer
Contributed

Occasionally God bestows on the
community or grants to family, a
life of singular charm and beauty
Such person was Mrs. Pauline M.
Palmer who passed away Wednesday
afternoon, November q and whose flu
neral was Saturday morning.
Born in Cornville, August Is, 1843,
she moved to Skowhegan as a girl
where she lived until her marriage
in 1868 to Henry S. Palmer. She and
her husband returned to Cornville
where they have lived together for
fifty-six years. Four years ago their
son purchased for them beautiful
home on Silver. street where they have
since spent the winter months. When
quite young, Mrs, Palmer united with
the Centenary Methodist Church in
Skowhegan hut for many years, until
it was closed she and her family were
the church in Cornville.
Six children have blessed the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Palmer: Mrs. Norah
L. Dennis of Athens, Mrs. Alice c.
Gaylord of Saskatchewan, Mrs. Jennie
M. Hobart of Skowhegan, William H.
of Cornville, Mrs. Emma S. Locke of
Cornville and Harry l.. of New York
City. She also leaves two brothers,
Albert w. and Joseph N. Smith of
Skowhegan.
Mrs. Palmer radiated joy and con-
tentment. Her face seemed to fairly
shine with the inner light of her
Christ-like spirit One knew that she
walked with God and realized per-
feet fellowship with Jesus Christ
Not once was she ever known to
speak an unkind word. she seemed
even incapable of thinking unkindly
of anyone. If In company criticism
was passed on another 1t never came
from her She lived for her husband
children and neighbors with complete
unselfshness. She never sought any
thing for herself but was ever giving
herself and her substance in unselfish
service to others.
She possessed keen sense of beau
ty, especially that of the woods, hills
valleys, and the flowers, how she loved
them and how they spoke to her of
Gods goodness and care. Thus at
the last loving service of remembrance
1t was most appropriate that she was
surrounded by flowers and was laid
to rest in bed of blossoms, the ten
der gifts of her children. She surely
walked with God but she was not for
God took her.

POP Consents AND
BIG LEGION SHOW
Annual Meeting OF Simon Peters Post
Next M6hday Might In New
Legion Rooms

The annual meeting for the election
of officers OF Simon Peters Postz
American Legion will be held Monday
night in the new Legion rooms over
the Central Maine Power Co. Office,
lately vacated by L. l.. Walton. The
move to these new rooms marks an
era in the growth of the Legion In
Skowhegan. The rooms, while small,
are very comfortable and attractive.
They have been completely renovated
by the boys themselves. The Auxil-
larry will share them with the Post.
One Of the small Offices facing the
river will be assigned for the use of
the Auxiliary as an Office for their
officers.
The new regime of officers will I'M
dohbtedly make a strong drive to en-
roll the many service men in town
who have never affiliated themselves
with the Legion. They will have the
assistance and moral support OF one
of the most active and efficient Wo-
mans Auxiliaries in Maine. 1t Is
hoped that facilities may be secured
in the new rooms for preparing and
serving suppers for joint meetings.
A few more comfortable chairs are
needed for the rooms, and would be
greatly appreciated by the members.
A book case is also needed for the
splendid collection of books on the
war recently presented to the Post
by Mrs. Ralph Burrill. These books

The Legion is planning for another
series OF Pop Concerts by the aug
mented Citizens Band during the win
ter. 1t is planning to have at least
one every month beginning in Janu-
airy. They will be held Sunday af-
ternpons in the Opera House. AS the
old Bite Laws forbid charging admis-
sions for Sunday concerts, it is pro-
posed to enlist subscribers enough
among the citizens to. insure giving
free concerts during the winter. There
will be vocal suloists for every con-
cert, and it is believed that they will
add not a little to the musical and
educational life of the town. The sea-
son will wind up with the Legion's
Annual Show, which as usual will be
the star amateur performance of the
season in Skowhegah.
