Meat Sa.Uing Machine

Those who have seen w. S. Bowen's
meat cutting machine, are loud in
their praises of it's efficiency and of
its sanitary qualities. AS stated in
his advert 'sement of last week, this
piece of mechanism reduces largely
the need of handling meats. It re
sembles band saw, is run by cleo
tricity, and does it's work with neat
ness and dispatch.
Mr.. Bowen's place is surely keeping
up with what should constitute first
class meat emporium. With his re
frigerating plant and other appl:
ances, he is able to supply his Gus
toners with the very best and handed
out in the very best condition.

ception by the Paris public Sunday.
At first the German rider was
greeted cody. as somewhat nervous,
he took the track in the face Of what
he evidently was convinced would be
a hostile demonstration. The crowd.
however. warmed up 10 him as. nm
mindful OF several mishaps TO his mo-

and went after the leaders in the race
with a great show Of courage. He was
loudly cheered when he finished third
in a field Of six after IL had appeared
he was hopelessly beaten.
The spectators then shattered tradi-
ton by calling upon Wittig TO do an
extra lap FOR honor" something
which is generally reserved for victors
in races that they may receive the
plaudits of the crowd.
Wittig obliged amidst most friend

with bouquet just before he returned

Beat Bolton in Opener;
Play St. Edwards Next

at Schwab Field Sunday, the Alamo
Peck Indians will prepare this week
for their next clash, with the st. Ed
wards College nine of Austin next

TO the locals from the start.
Schraub worked six innings for the
Indians and in that time got seven
strikeouts and allowed only four scat
rough going in the. first stanza when
he was nicked for a couple of hits and
run by the Boosters.
The Indians scored twice in the
same inning and in the second made
four more runs with only two hits.
They were aided by Montgomery
generosity in the box. He walked
three men in this inning.
Both teams scored again in the
fifth inning and the Indians added
smother in the eighth as the final
counter.
Moos' and Leipart each batted 800
for the Indians with two hits out of

ARMY ALL-STARS WIN
FROM CHICAGO POLO
FOUR IN FAST GAME
Visitors Show.Improuement
and Put Up a Great
Battle.

Showing a decided improvement
over their work in two prior games
played in San Antonio, the North
Shore polo team of Chicago, Sunday
gave the all-star four from Fort Sam
Houston a hard fight through a reck.
lessly-ridden contest on Harbord
Field before being finally defeated
by score OF s TO 3.
The mighty right arm OF Lorber
PLAYING No. 4 for the Chicago team
was largely responsible for the GOOD
showing made by that team. Twice
during the first half, he overlook the
ball mt the very instant that il was
rolling between the army goal-posts
and backed it out of danger. Time
after time he drove ii deen into army
territory almost. single handed and
accounted for the one clean goal made
by his team.
Steady playing, hard riding and ex.
cellent teamwork on the part of the
Fort Sam Houston players gave them
a well-earned victory. They scored
in every frame except the first and
made the final count an even eight
by adding two in the final period
Benson and Mckinley each scored
three times and Smith added the
other two for the army.
The first half ended with the score
standing 5 10 o. 1t was not until
late in the sixth period that North
Shore put through its first counter
Jones, playing No. 4 for the army
saved a goal by backing the ball away
from the line. but a moment later
Carl Crawford caught it solid blow
and sent it sailing over the heads
of the players straight for the goa
posts. Smith struck il as it went by
but did not defect it from its course
enough to prevent it from passing
between the posts. Smith thereby
gained official credit for making the
goal.
Before the sixth chukker ended
Lorber added another goal for tn,
North Shore aggregation: and Ear
Crawford's pony kicked through III,
third score for Chicago in the sew
enth.
Hettinger and Jones alternated al
No. 4 for Fort Sam Houston. Both
fitted well into the team play of tho
Second Division stars and did ex
cellent work on the defensive.
Barger and Hemmen for Nortl
Shore displayed greater accuracy il
their hitting than in the other game
played in San Antonio. and Car
Crawford played his usual hard ridin,
game. Earl Crawford gave a goo'
! account of himself during the tire
chukkers in which he played.

New York. March 24.-The drastic
change in the football rules which

captain contended that a nodded, man

The new rule eliminating all tees

As had been predicted. the commit

Walter Johnson Is Preparing
to Enhance His Bright Record

success of pitcher is not TO be
gagged alone by the number of victor
les he wins as the victories would
have been increased in number had he
played with a better team.
Johnson, paid a great tribute TO
Catcher Ruel when he declared that
young man to have handled him as
successfully as any catcher who has
been enlisted with the Washington
club. Somehow it seems TO have been
overlooked that Ruel was the busiest
catcher in the American League last
year. but when johnson spoke of him
81 warmly his record was unearthed.
He had LAG assists, which is another
league record. He played in 133
games. being second in that column,
And Johnson is not the only member
of the Washingtons who has praise
for Ruel. Owner Griffith scored well
in the deal that got him. Most of the
Senators believe they have the leagues
coming catcher in Ruel.
The question now arises. how much
can Ruel do to improve the Washing
ton club: The better the catcher. the
more confidence the pitchers have in
him. and confidence is as important
to a pitcher as a tail is to kite
Therefore. with the confidence he
built up last season he ought TO be a
decided help 10 his club.
Has Lots Of Pitchers.
As for pitchers. Crit" has lot
of them who have done so well in the
minors that it seems impossible 10
send any of them away without giving
them round or two in fast company
1t may be that the experiment will
not unearth any more Johnsons. but
"Grif" can gain nothing unless he
makes it,
The Washington team puzzles you

it had more assists than any team
in the circuit and was second in put

Putouts. of course. are secondary
plays. except when they are fly
catches or toueh-outs on fielded
grounders.
The Senators got on top OF the ball
often enough-more often than most
of their rivals-yet they couldn't play
their chances with the sureness of the
Yanks. They had PIG errors to New
Works IA. Somehow that seems 10
be one Of the REASONS why the Yanks
are champions. They put their chances
away. while Washington kicked its
chances away; that is, too many OF
them.
Yet it cannot be denied Washington
is a team with hands like hams, be
cause il gets more whacks at the ball
than its rivals. "Grif" says it will
field better this. year. II the Senators
do and continue to handle rs mucl

dark horse to feed in the Yankee oat'
bin.
