 Kid Brother Gets Chance
 Somehow or other McGaw. who is set in his ways and pretty much of an autocrat, couldn't see Jesse, ns the saying is. Maybe if he had to do it over he'd act differently---and maybe he wouldn't. At any rate, young Wig gil is 10 get tho chance that was denied his older brother, the one who trousht him to the big leagues.
 McGraw tells you young Virgil is to bc regular from inc start this year. Whats moro, Mciraw figures him ahead of every other pitcher on his staff. and that goes for Bentley Nehf, oeschger Ryan. Watson, Dean, all the others. Yonng Virgil is curve ball pitcher with neat control and an agile bean.
 They tell me here in camp that mutinous feeling existed amohg the players last year because McGraw wouldn't start Inc younger Barnes MrEraN used him in 2@ games last year, but always as fntsher or relief man. Barnes didn't pitch a full game all season.
 Baldwin iails To Impress
 Two other right handlers have bos n occupying the Master Minds aiten- ton here, Baldwin. the iron man from Newark, and Maun, another juvenile from Wichita, kHs.
 Baldwin. highly toutei ss the best pitcher in the International league. has not been impressive in his work so far. McGraw frankly admits he's much disappointed.
 Maun is one of those birds who are embarrassed with riches.
 Hes got niore stuff than any pitcher herr," Hank Gowdy confdcd 10 tho writer.
 Monun. however. lacks boise and his control is very uncertain.

D|XIES ROMP OFF
 WITH NEW BRITAIN
Take Rubber in Intg-City Series
 by B-a Score

There was nothing to it at the arm ory Saturday night, after the tlrst three minutes of play. but the green jerscyed Dixie Speed Boys and they simply romped away with all New Britain. easily winning the game IS to si. Incidentally this gives the DIN ies the New Britain series, three to two. and the game was their 3Nth win of the season, giving them good right to challenge the claim of the Atlas for state honors.
 RcstcIli shines.
 For New Britain. Carlo lsestelli was the shining light and without him the locals would have been beat en much worse. Mert Taylor Was away of form in the first half, but came back bit stronger in the sec ond. The rest of the team showed up in mediocre style, Larson, PeiIetier and Wojak playing what at times was an amateurish brand of Nhall. Per haps they should he criticized too severely however, for the DiSics cer- tslnly showed wonderful speed, re- markable shooting and passing game that Was almost irresistible. So fast were the Dixies on floor work and in pasisng that at times New Britain's entire team stood dumb found and completely lost.
 The game started as though, it was going to he a walkoyer for New Brit ain. After a few seconds of play Restelli tossed in a double decker, then added three more points on foul shots. Then Larson came through with a field goal and the score stood : to Q in favor of New Britain. Then thing changed. lIoffarth dropped in a double decker and from then oil Hartford was never headed, although the score was tied a couple of times. At half time the Dixies led 20-tS.
 Although their fayorites were de- feated, the crowd at the nrmory gave the Dixie boys a great hand, and well they deserved it. for seldom has n team been seen in action here that possessed the youthful pop and en- thnsasm. coupled with real ability. that these youngsters exhibited. The score.--

COLLEGE PLAYING
 VERSUS BIG LEAGUE
Professional aud Collegiate Men
 Have Different Styles
(By Billy Evans)

tby lliis lNdisp
 The professional athlete isn't very strong for the college stuff. This is particularly true of baseball.
 Once upon q time the idea of college ball player breaking into the majors and making good was mat 'tcr for laughter. The ''rah- rah' ath- lete however has lived that down.
 The professional athlete lives in world of his own, none more so than the big league ball player He gets an entirely different slant on the sport game than the collegian, and rather resents the high-brow stuff.
 As a result, college reforms offered as an improvement on the big league style of play seldom get very far.
 
 Recently a famous college track coach expressed the opinion that biz league players and managers were overlooking an important feature Of offensive strategy.
 It is the opinion of the track coach in question that big league players in scoring from third on 8 caught fly ball and not getting away to proper start.
 The suggestion of the coach was that the runner on third should be started from q sprint position by the coach at that base.
 Instead of turning out of position. in order to watch the course of tho ball and the catch, the runner would pay no attention to the batted ball simply wait for the word to go.
 
 Tho reform suggested seemed to br based on sound logic, since it is ap- parent that time was lost in getting away from third on T caught fly ball.
 Recently the advisability Of trying out tho scheme was put to ny Cobb, greatest of all ball players, While ad- hitting that it sounded fine in theory, he simply remarked:
 How many bah players would br willing to adopt the crouch style"
 How many do you think would bag, get both hands on tho ground and wait for inc signal from the eoaeher te so?
 "l'l wager DO per cent of tho big leagucrs would ridlrnle the idea.
 Fl sounds good in theory, but put ling il over is another thing. IL would require an intensive campuiga of education"

Home Made
Cough Mixture
Considered Best
Spreads over Membrane,
Soothes, Heals and Stops
Cough Almost Instantly
Costs but a Trifie

Make your own cough syrup in
two minutes at home if you want
the best.
Simple coughs. or stubborn coughs,
1t doesn't matter which, this home
made mixture will stop them quicker
than any expensive cough syrup you
can buy ready made.
It's fine for chest colds too and
for acute nasal catarrh.
Get from any druggist one ounce
of Parmint double strength)-to
this add a little granulated sugar
and enough water to make one half
pint-that's all there is to it, and
children like it.
Like a soothing, healing poultice
one costly substance in this home
made cough mixture spreads itself
completely over the membrane of
the throat. This causes the most
stubborn hang-on cough to cease
almost instantly. No ordinary slow
acting cough syrup contains this ex-
pensive ingredient.
And remember-any remedy that
overcomes catarrh. partially or
wholly, Is bound to be of benefit to
those who are troubled with head
noises and catarrhal deafness.
Get Parmint and get better.-Adv.

CHRISTMAS BAGS
SEND MUCH CHEER
IN FAR OFF HAITI

Yuletfde echoes OF 1873 FOUND their
way into the ONCE Of Miss Jean
Todd, executive secretary Of the Au-
gusta chapter OF the American Red
Cross, this week. when a letter was
received from Haiti. offering thanks
for the Christmas bags which were
sent there from this local Office.
1t will doubtless be Of the most in =
terest to quote the letter in full:
THE AMERICAN RED CROSS
Office Of Field Director

January IL, 1924.
Miss Jean Todd.
No. 318 Water St,
Augusta, Maine.
Ny dear Secretary
II It was possible for us to de-
scribe to you the expressions of
pleasure on the faces Of some eight
hundred Marines, when Santa Claus
handed them their Red Cross Christ
mas Kits, you might understand In
o measure how large a part the
ladies' of your chapter played in
making our Christmas in the Tropics
Q bowling success.
All told we received over 100
Christmas Kits from chapters all
over the eastern part Of the United
States. enough to give one to every
enlisted man Of the Marine Corps
and Navy, throughout the whole
Haiti.
1t is interesting to note the various
means Of transportations employed
in getting these kits to the men in
some OF the more isolated parts of
Haiti. after they were received here
at Port Au Prince. The kits for the
men stationed at Guantanamo, Cuba.
were sent by water. Those to Cape
Haitian. some 200 miles from Port.
went by the most direct route Of all.
by aeroplane, while the kits for St.
Michel. little station far up in the
Haitian hills, went first by water to
the Port of Gonative, thence on a
narrow gauge railroad to the tiny
Village of Emery, where the rail-
road ends, and the kits were loaded
on a truck which carried them up
and over the steep mountains and
their final destination.
Here at Port Au Prince, all Or
ganiZation in this vicinity joined to-
gether at the Recreation hall in the
Marine barracks, where at the foot
Of q real honest to goodness Christ
mas tree. the Red Cross Kits were
heaped until Santa Claus himself
came down the chimney to distribute
them to the waiting crowd.
We would like to thank personally
every one who make a kit. for
whether they realize 1t or not they
brought to our boys in this far off
Black Republic a taste of home and
Christmas Cheer which mill not soon
be forgotten.
Wishing you all n New Year equal
ly as joyous as the Christmas you
helped to give US. we are
Most gratefully yours.

CHANGERS Warned
TO keep MEETINGS
FREE OF POLITICS

AS the result Of meeting Of the
executive committee Of the Maine
state Grange in this city the first Of
inns week, action was taken to prevent
the appearance of aspirants for polit-
ical office before the oranges of the
state as speakers in behalf of their
candidacy. A letter embodying the
findings of the committee and signed
by the executive group was sent out to
all the oranges of the State Thursday
The letter also calls attention to the
danger arising from any attempt by
individuals or groups of people to
create religious prejudice. hatred and
strife. or to assume the authority to
make or enforce law" The mcmoran-
dunn brands there things as un-Ameri-
can. The latter part of the commune
cation is very obviously aimed at the
activities of the Ku KIux Khan.
The text of the letter to the various
subordinate oranges is as follows:
ITO the Oranges of Maine:
Your executive committee of the
Maine State Grange, believing in the
sound judgment of the membership.
and knowing that the patrons of the
State desire that the order stand firm
ly on the fundamental principles as
outlined in our declaration of purposes.
anu do lduSH III III our ritual, wishes TO
call your attention to condition
which seems to prevail in many Sec
tons regarding outside interests using
our order to promote their personal am
billions. We would especially urge
that grange lecturers refrain from
placing on their programs speakers
whose primary purpose is TO adver-
tse their own political wares. We
would also call your attention to the
great danger arising from any at
tempt by individuals or groups of peo-
pie to create religious prejudice. hat
red and strife. or to assume the au-
thority to make or enforce law other
than through the regular constituted
methods. These things are not con-
ducive to loyalty or to good American
