BAD BREATH
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets Get

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets the SUBJ
stitute for calomel, act gently on the
bowels and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets. The pleasant, sugar-coated
tablets are taken for bad breath by all
who know them.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gen.
tly but firmly on the bowels and liver,
stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any OF
the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, slckening,
griping cathartics are derived from
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets without
gripping, pain or any disagreeable effects.
DIR. F. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years OF prac--
tice among patients afflicted with bowel
and liver complaint, with the attendant
bad breath.
Olive Tablets are purely a vegetable
compound mixed with olive oil; you
wiz know them by their olive color.

ALEXANDER

Mathewsop, with the New Yorl, Giants, won 30 games in 1903, followed it with 33 in 1904 and came back with 31 lin 1905.
 Alexander, then pitching for Phila- delphia. captured S1 victories in 1915, reached the S3 mark in 1916 and fin- ished with 30 wins in 1917.
 In scoring s3 victories in 1916. AL exander turned in the remarkable number of 16 shntouts, major league record. Just think of it, not only winning g games, bat shutting out the opposition in half of them.
 It is rather interesting fact that while both major leagues have boasted n great number of star left handlers, only one of them ever managed to win 30 games in a season under the pres ent pitching rules. Frank killen, pitching for Pittsburgh in 1893, won 35 games.
 Strangely enough that was the year the distance was changed from 50 feet to the prasent distance. While most pitchers were being hard hit because of the length and distance, Killen was having the best year of his career.
 Those were the happy days for the pitchers. They no longer exist Base ball is now the batters paradise. The hero stuff has been shifted from the pitcher to the batsman.

JOHNSON

The status of the ma jor league pitcher has changed greatly in the past 10 years, the difference being most noticeable perhaps in the last five years.
 The lively ball and the deeds of Babe Ruth have been the contributing factors to the change. The pitcher is no longer supreme. This is the era of swat in baseball, fin which the raak- ing of home run has passed from a hero to an ordinary event.
 The pitcher who can win i5 games during a major league season is now considered valuable asset. The pitch CT who couldn't win more than IS games 10 years back was considered very ordinary. In these days usually | bonus of s10o0 goes to the pitcher who can win I5 games. If he can turn in more victories the bonus is pro- port!onately increased.
 It wasn't like that in the old days when Mathewson. Johnson, Alexander and the other stars were at the top of their game. The star pitchers of those days could almost be figured on for 20 victories before the season opened and it was not at all unusual for them to come through with 80.
 Wclter Johnson during the season of 1918 won Ss games and lost only seven with a club that failed to reach

New York, Jan. S.-Elmer Smith, substitute outfielder. will be one of the two players the New York Yankees will give in part payment for Earle Combs, star outhelder of the Louis- vile club of the American Association it was annougced yesterday by Col onel Jacob Ruppert, owner of the worlds champions.
 A substantial cash consideration, making Combs purchase price the equivalent Of about s50,000. also is involved in the deal but Colonel Ruppert declined to make the fig- yre public.
 The passing of smith to the minors came as a surprise. He came to the Yankees from the Boston Red SoS in 1922 in the deal which also brought Joe Dugan. star third boseman, to New York.
 Smith earned fame as heavy hit ter with Cleveland, knocking a home run with the bases full in the 1920 worlds series. the only time this feat ever has been done in the title clas- sic. Last season, he starred as n pinch-hitter for the Yankees. His seasons batting average for 70 games was .3O6.
 smith played for Waterb,.. in the Eastern league. in i9if, taking part in e3 games. making i2o hits and fln- ishing with an average Of .aS2. The Brasscoes had obtained him from Cleveland on an optional agreement in March and he was returned 10 the American league club in August.

KID KAPLAN EARNS
 DRAW WITH D'MARCO
Meriden Boy k More Aggressive of Two in Pittsburgh Bout

Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 7.-Louis
 (KiD Kaplan. New England junior lightweight champion" battled to a
 ten round draw here last night with Cuddy De Marco in one Of the best fights staged here since decision bouts
 were inaugurated in this state. The unanimous verdict of the judges
 however failed to meet with the ap-
 proval of the fans who booed and
 missed the decision. Many thought that the Connecticut boy should have
 been given the decision by his ag- gressiveness and never ceasing attack
 on his opponent.
 Kaplan opened the first round with a slashing two-fisted attack which sent
 De Marco whirling about the ring in his effort to keep away from Kaplan's wicked rights and left to the body. Rushing from his corner in the sec- ond round kaplan, apparently wish ing to end the fight with a knockout. threw caution to the wind as he sent blow after blow into the body of De Marco. As the round progressed Kap- Ian became wild, which De Marco took advantage of by sending right jabs 10 the face and crossing over with left to the jaw, Kaplan send ing a wild right to the head lost his balance and fell to the floor.
 F In the third round Kapian kept boring in but was unable to land an effective punch. De aMrco's shiftiness enabled him to keep out of reach as he poked and iabbed kaplan with. . straight left to the face. De Marco opened up a deep cut on Kaplan's lip and when the round ended the New England boy was smeared with blood. Kaplan took the fourth and fifth round and had a good margin of the other three rounds In the sixth round De Marco took the lead and after figuring out kaplan's attack easily tied up the Bear Cat" and sending wicked right uppercut that rocked Kaplan. This blow slowed Kaplan up and De Marco began to pile up lead by slugging with rights and lefts to the fact. The seventh round opened with kapian swinging wild. landing n few blows but taking considerable punishment from De Marco. who would cross over with a right to jaw after putting Kaplan off balance with stiff jabs to the face. Kaplan came back in the next round with a wither- ing attack on De Marcos kidneys, which had the local boy holding on most of the round.
 The-ninth round opened with Rap Ian having a slight lead in the fight by his ever willingness to mix things with a right to the body, Kap- Ian was met with another stinging right uppercut, which apparently took

 Cambridge, Mass. Sporting Writer:
 Dear Sir
 Just few remarks in reference tc Wop Manolian. who by the way is a native of New Britain.
 The .Wop has just returned from . trip up in the mountains and wantA two or three fights under his belt be. fore he boxes Eddie Sheylin, and as he is a great drawing card in your state. would Ike nothing better than shot at any boy in the country al 145-150 pounds. I would prefer some boy of prominence as the Wop ha. made his name known through Con, necticut. If they think Mike Morley good enough to draw we'll for him, or Chick Brown or any one the clut picks, it will be all right for us. The Wop is today one of the best booking prospects in the country, and ten months ago boxed a 10 round draw with Nate Goldman. the boy who jus, beat Leu Tender in Philly. The Bos, ton promoters have been trying to gel boy to box the Wop. but as soon as they mention his name they all find some excuse to wrigglc out. Hoping that some boy will pull enough nerve together to get in the ring with the flash. l am awaiting some reply ib reference to same.

 In this connection Christy Mathew son and Grover Alexander have set a record that major league pitchers will be shooting at for some time. Proba- bly it will never be equnled, certainly not with the ball now in use.
 Winning So games during the major league season is a remarkable feat at any time. With the lively ball it is an extraordinary performance. Yet Ma thewson and Alexander in their prime won 30 or more games for three con secutive years.
