THE ROMANCE
OF WORDS
at ETOTA r"

I Upon the tombstone over the
grave of Richard Turner,
, an English temperance orator
, who glorified the virtues of pro-
|. hibition during the early part of
I the last century, there appears
|. the inscription: Beneath this
stone are deposited the remains
of Richard Turner, author of
the word Teetotal as applied to
abstinence from all intoxicating
liquors, who departed this life
on the 9th day Of October, 1916,
aged SO years"
The story goes that Turner.
who was troubled with a slight
impeachment in his speech, al
ways spoke of "t-t-total absti-
hence" and that his followers
were derisively referred to as
"teetotalers," but Rev. Joel Jew
ell, secretary of a temperance
society formed at Hector, New
York, in 1918, claims that the
word was used in the United
States before it was in Eng
land.
Doctor Jewell's explanation OF
the term is that inc members OF
his society at first pledged them
selves only to abstinence iron
distilled liquors, but that ii
1927 a pledge was INTRODUCED
binding all who signed it to for
swear all alcoholic beverages
whether distilled n brewed.
The members who adhered to
the original pledge were re-
ferred to as 90. P.'s''-meaning
"Old Pledgers'-while the 9th
ers appeared upon the roster as
"T (Total," an annexation
which soon led to the adoption
of the word "T-total" as a col
loquialism in that part Of New
York. 1t is quite possible that
both explanations are correct,
for the word was apparently
coined about the same time on
both sides of the Atlantic.

RlTOLA Will REJOIN
u. S. RUNNING COLONY
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, October 17.-Willie

running star. who scored several no.
table triumphs for his native land in
the Paris Olympics is returning soon
to the land of his adoption. He in
tends TO resume the residence he held
here for 10 years prior to last Janu-

The return of Ritola, who was rat

tance performer in 1922 and 1928, will
add fresh interest to the coming in
door track campaign, as the sturdy
Finn undoubtedly will return to com

with the prospect that his famous
countryman, Paavo Nurmi. will in
wade this side in quest of further
laurels during the Winter. They
may resume the keen rivalry that
marked their racing in the Olympics.
At Paris Nurmi took Ritola's meas
ure in the 5,000-meter cross-country
race and 3,000-meter team contest.
They did not meet however. in the
10,000-meter fiat, which Ritola won in
world record time, or the 3,000-meter
steeplechase, which Ritola also cap
tured
Together they accounted for vir-
tOally haif OF FINLAND point score.
Ritola held the American national
croSs-country and 10-mile champion
ships as well as most of the other dis
tance running laurels in 1922 and
1928. He also holds indoor records
for three and four miles, but reached
his greatest heights in the OlympicS.
Ritola. despite his former long resi-
dence here, is not an American citi-
zen. He obtained his first papers, but
was persuaded to return to Finland
for the Olympics when it became ap-
parent that his final papers would
not be obtained in time to make him
eligible to represent the United States
in the international games.

HENDRICKS OF REDS
TO HUNT RECRUITS

CINCINNATI. Ohio, October IT,
Realizing the Importance of starting
early to build up the team for next
season, Jack Hendricks, manager of
the Cincinnati Nationals, leaves Sat-
urday for the Pacific Coast to look
over several players who have been
recommended to him, with view to
purchasing them for the Reds.
The passing of Daubert, the release
of Duncan to Washington and the i'm
minent release of George Burns, who
will undoubtedly become manager of
a minor league club, makes it nee
essary to add strength to the team.
If the proposed class AA champion
ship series between st. Paul and the
winner of the Coast league pennant
is played, Hendricks will see num-
ber of prospects in action. among
them Outfelder Christensen and
Catcher Dixon of the Saints. He also
is interested in Welch of Seattle, an
outfielder, and Shortstop Ryan Of the
San Francisco club.

get proper representation in our
