Statistics show that the month of
marriages is changing from June to-
August, and that's good thing. June.
is the month from the romantic point
OF view, August from the practical
point of view.
The first baby of an August wedding
comes along in the Spring with the
flowers of May and can be put out
doors at once to get fresh air. In adj
dition, the mother can nurse the ba-
by all thru the hot months of the
first summer, when the right artih-
cial food is hardest to find.

complaining giant, as big as Firpo and as game as a punching bag, was Tn there, pitching for Washington. Just before the game it had been noised along the press row that this was to be Johnson's last game in the big leagues, the end of his IS years with one ball club. He had been whipped in the first world series game he ever pitched, the one N in Washington last Saturday in which he. went F innings and almost collapsed.
 Now, with dark gray day and a back ground of steel haze to obscure his fast one, Johnson was ready to put his heart, his shoulders and the rythmic sorcery of his arm into effort to win at least one world series ball game by way of farewell. There has been a lot of crooked business in base ball and the general tone of the game is about as sportsmanlike as that of the prizefight business, but neverthe- less, there are some men in it, such as Walter Johnson, whose careers are poetic. The forty-odd thousand people seemed to feel the dramatic vibrations of the moment when Freddie Lind strom went up to bat as the Giants first hitter, . narrow little slat of a kid just out. of high school, with the crnel confidence of nineteen. The big Swede. big Barney as they call him, shot a fast one down the lane and the little Swede sent it moaning back on a line, past Johnson, through the infield. for the first of four hits which he was to record before the end of the day. It was Johnson's first pitch of the game, too.
 In the third inning. the little Swedc out-footed slow infield grounder which sent Travis Jackson scooting home from third with a run. In the fifth, the kid fouled out to Muddy Ruel. the Wash

inrton catcher. In the seventh hs raised a single to center but wns slow down at the plate in q dash to make double steal which had been ordered by John McGraw from the bench.
 Lindstrom was the last man but one to face the big Swede in the major leagues. That was in the eighth inning when Nbe singled to~left field, sending Govdy home from third with the Giants sixth and final run. Frank Bfisch, the inst of the Giants to hit against John son. forced Lindstrom out at second, retifing the side.
 Inasmuch this was the big Sweds's last inning in the game that first blinked at his fast ball IS years ago, the gods of sport might have let him erd his career by striking out the boy who was moving and gursfing in the crib when he was a rookie. But the gods have to be practical some time. They had been lingering songs of trag- edy on their concertinas all afternoon.
 Harris Let Him Stay
 Stanley Harris, the manager of ths Washington club, who was q boy of ten when the big Swede became . big leaguer. wore lane in the sod of the infield trotting in to pat the big Swede on the back from time to time. But when Johnson weakened in the eighth, Stanley clamped his teeth on his chew ing gum, yanked his cap over his eyes and did the chivalrous thing.
 He might have called in Firpo Mar berry the relief pitcher to tighten the defense but the kid was too fins t0 do it. He let Walter Johnson stay in there, taking his hammering and % down fighting.
 This then is the one about the two Swedes, the little one who came up to glory and the big one who went dowr and out.

CHOCTAWS WEAK
 FOR BAMA GAME
Many Injuries Will Han- dicap Mississippi Eley-
 en Saturday

CLINTON, Miss, Oct. S.-(Special.) The Choctaws of Mississippi college are now recuperating from the battle waged against the Greenies of Tulane univer- sity of New Orleans last Saturday. Since Monday they have been entering upon and engaging in scrimmages and work outs in preparation for the tilt with the Crimson Wave of the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa Saturday.
 The Tribesmen of Coach Bohler's az gregation displayed good football against the Green Wave Saturday, especially during the first half when they sur prised Coach Shaughnessy by holding his men with perfect ease for one en- tire half, and by registering the greater end of 7-6 margin during the first lap of the game. They faltered under the mighty and superior Greenie attack during the concluding half though. and were the victim of tremendous defeat at the hands of the Greenbacks for 32-7 score. Coach Bohler's good little team outplayed the Greenie outfit dur ing the first half, but were completely outclassed during the other half by Tu- lanes big team.
 Stars Are Hurt
 The Tulane game proved to be very severe one for the Indians, for several, and, in fact, most of our best men were knocked out of the game-some for the entire season. During the first quarter, the Tribesmen suffered the loss of two of their very best and most hopeful men. Long, Mississippi college, healthy and line -plunging fullback. was retired from the game within the first quarter, how ever, his injury was not so fatal that it would fail to keep him from the Ala bama tilt. It is believed that he will be in a condition to line up against the Crimson Wave, but in case he cannot Pearce, a utility full of two years ex- perience, will be the next resort.
 Sheffield, for three seasons the pivot warrior for the Choctaws, was likewise retired from the game during the first quarter, and there is serious doubt that he will be in the lineup Saturday at Tuscaloosa. In this event, it is certain that Lorance will take his place in the lineup.
 Sweeney Out
 The most serious injury sustained by the Tribesmen was the blow received by Sweeney, the Indians dependable half, with his brightest season ahead of him, when he received on the last lap of the game an injury, which, physi- clans say, will keep him.out of the fray for the remainder of the season. This injury no doubt will mean very grave setback in the possibilities of victory of the Indians in the tilt Saturday. How ever, the Chcctaws have been the recip- tent of one very encouraging hope for the Alabama fray in the return of White, great warrior of the team of 1921, piloted by the famous Goat" Hale of all-Southern distinction.
