nEsCRIBING myriads of parabolic

PRESCRIBING myriads of parabolic Dcurves, Roy Walker, sometimes
 known as Goat" tracked the Bears down Thursday. In the meantime the batters were aiding in giving Emil Huhn's crew their geometry lesson by running hypotenuses and chords from the home plate to various points in the outfield. Walker himself helped in the work by dissecting the field with a drive to center field fence for three bags, The Barons' grade was 15, but the Bears got zero on their efforts.
 
 There was not even dangerous curve ahead' sign to warn Huhn's tanned Bears what was coming. Sit ting on the bench like vultures awaiting the slaughter, the south bay lads seemed ready to bounce upon the m0rsel thrown to them by the BarOns. After the first man had struck out the visiting ath- letes still were not awed by the young man who graced the mound for the locals.
 
 For nine innings the performer con tinued his work of turning back the Bears. No man reached home though one or two gained third. Walker was steadier than the Rock of Gibraltar when, with men on base and the spec tators who were waiting for him to crack, went home disappointed. He was rather a cocky youngster at times and would occasionally shoot in fast curve with three balls on the batter just to show that he could do it.
 
 Six men failed to connect favor ably with his hooks, while only six were able to get clean hits. He was seconded ably by the Baron fieldeFs who were taking all chances coming their way and occasionally went out of their way to take few which might have gone just as we'll for hits.
 Walker had a grudge in for Big Dan Boone and Kelly for he whiffed each of them twice. Boone took the count once with the bat on his shoulder, while on the other occasion he went out swing ing. Denny Williams also went out for Walkers curve and found it miss ing, while Cueto also sought and failed to find the pellet.
 Walker possesses fOOler. He rakeS the sky as he comes over and brings it down to his toes and the ball follows suit as it hears the plate. The mere fact that he is going to curve the ball is no matter which he tries to hid. He some > what taunts his victims by tele-

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
TROUBLE AND NEVER
SUSPECT IT.
Applicants for Insurance
Often Rejected

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch
with the public, there is one prepare
ton that has been very successful in
overcoming these conditions. The
mild and healing influence of DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp Root is soon realized. II
stands the highest for its remarkable
record of success.
An examining physician for one OF
the prominent Life Insurance Compa-
MES, in an interview Of the subject
made the astonishing statement that
one reason Why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people. and the large ma
jority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in
bottles of two sizes, medium and
large.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to DR.. Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton, N
Y, for a sample bottle. When writing

CANDIDATES FOR
GOVERNOR COUNT
FRIENDLY NOSES
Convention as Well as Pri-
mary Support Being
Sought,
BY FELIX BRUNER

With the holidays past and the
1924 political campaign getting under
way in earnest, candidates for Gov
ernor and their friends are taking
stock Of the possibilities and acting
accordingly.
The Indiana primary law provides
that a candidate for nomination for
Governor, to be successful, must OBJ
tain a majority OF all votes cast for
Governor in his party primary. Other
wise, the contest is thrown into con-
vention and the convention chooses
the nominee.
AS a result, the May election
probably will find in the field candi-
dates for delegate to the State con-
vention firmly aligned with the va
rious candidates for Governor.
All Seek Delegates
Each candidate for Governor Will
attempt to elect as many Of his
friends as possible as delegates to
the State convention.
The organization OF Mayor Shank,
CT ndidate for the Republican nOmina-
ton. is making an active bid for
literature appears this appeal. Vote
for a Shank delegate from your pre-
ciuct to the State convention"
A similar appeal is being made by
Edward c.. Toner. Anderson, also a
candidate for the Republican nominal
ton. Friends of Ed Jackson, sec
rotary of State. who will become a
candidate, also are attempting to line
up delegates.
Democratic Race Active
At present there are three active
Democratic candidates. DIR. Carleton
B. McCulloch, Indianapolis; Dale !.
Crittenberger, Anderson, and Charles
s. Bait, Terre Haute. Reports that
Crittenberger will withdraw from the
race are persistent, but they are
being denied by his friends.
Candidates for President, Vice
President, and Governor may file petit
tons to have their names placed on
the ballots any time until March Z.
Other candidates file after that date.
