TAKES TWENTY YEARS
FOR THIS GRID HONOR

The athletic board Of Ohio State
University recently awarded the
varsity 20" to Doctor John w.
Means, who, twenty years ago,
more than once made trouble for
Buckeye football teams. During
the year 1903, 1904, 1905 and 1906,
Jack Means was star on the Ohio
Medical University football. base
ball and basketball teams, and in
1906 his place kick from the 54-
yard line came near defeating the
Buckeyes.
The way the coincidence came
about was that Ohio Medical Col
lege was absorbed by the Startling.
Ohio Medical College, which was
later taken over by Ohio State Uni.
versity as its College Of Medicine.
The alumni Of the first two insti-
buttons were therefore recognized
as alumni Of Ohio State.

Beall Not So Good.

"TALTER BEALL, the former
" pride of the. Mohawks, is
W causing Miller Higgins
more than a little worry this
spring by his mediocre showing on
the mound for the New York Yam
KEGS. The Yankees paid a lot of
money to the Rochester club for
Beall and now they look to have
bought an ordinary pitcher.
Beall finished the 1924 season
with the Yankees and made a
good impression. He turned down
the first contract rendered him
and the Yankees came through
with his demands, thinking him
certain to be a winner. That ex-
plains some of the disappointment
felt now by Miller Higgins. He
believes himself fooled by a young
pitcher yet to make good in fast
company.
Beall has been anything but
effective this spring, wildness fea-
turing most of his games. New
ertheless, he has shown himself
in the past capable of pitching
good ball and he may shake him
self together in time to keep from
sliding back to the bushes.
Washington sandlotters are all
pulling for Beall to make good
and, if he fails, there will be dis
appointment here among his many
friends.

here four years ago, according to

Of 1924 the statistics show licenses
were issued to 1864 boxers, 6S4

Many Linksrnen Use
Only One Leg In
Pivoting

A prominent professional
recently pointed out that there
were a great many zone legged
golfers" although few realize
the fact. These individuals use
both legs when they play base
ball, football or tennis; yet they
try to play goH-which is more
exacting than any other game
with one leg, using the other
merely as a prop. This con-
dition is brought about by their
attempt to pivot on the left big
toe. BY a voluntary effort they
succeed in wriggling the left
heel up and around to the left,
throwing the bulk of their
weight onto the right leg, where
it usually remains to the end
Of the stroke.
The Washington times., 1925-04-07

Lotteries are conducted in Cuba
regularly. The public knows
beforehand all about them, how
the numbers are chosen and
usually who wins the big money.
In the days Of the Honduras and
Mexican lotteries, it was about
the same. In Spain lotteries are
conducted much along this line,
publicity accompanying them.
BUT NOBODY KNOWS ANY
THING ABOUT THE BASEBALL
LOTTERY!
Suppose you buy a ticket. You
are told that if you happen to
strike a winning combination, you
will draw down $4,000. Some
pools promise more than that.
But, when you attempt to cash
in your winning ticket, the agent
calmly informs you that so many
were the winners that your share
is a mere pittance, possibly $25
HOW CAN YOU PROVE THE
AGENT LYING?
Do you KNOW ANYBODY who
ever collected $4,000, or even
$1,000, on a baseball lottery?
Ban Johnson, president of the
American league, has repeatedly
tried to obtain laws prohibiting
baseball pools. He succeeded i'll
getting Illinois to adopt his sug-
gestion, but generally around the
country baseball pools are per-
mitted openly, tickets selling at
drug stores, billiard halls and
newsstands, not to mention blind
pigs, shoe shine parlors and what
not. Ban did want a Federal law,
but failed to get it for some
reason not known to this writer
With the baseball season at
hand, get ready to see the base
ball lotteries in action, with the
suckers falling into line like
trained sheep.
This writer's advice,-which
won't be followed, naturallyI-,is
for everybody to turn down the
lottery ticket. Blow your dough
on the gals or buy bootleg liquor.
Get some value for your money,
anyway, which is more than
you'll get by seeking the "soft
money" in the baseball pools now
being conducted in this country.

Moudy, former United States sailor,

of Dazzy Vance. Moudy's curve is
nearly as fast as his hard one, and
he has as many deliveries as q

curve ball upderhand, starting from
below his knees; he can come over

equally strong with a side arm de-

Menace in Imprinted Wall

An unpainted rough wall, says Doc
tor Gardner of the Institute of Indus
trial Research at Washington, is por-
Gus; moisture may be absorbed readily
and retained for long periods. In these
pores, organic matter and germs may
easily lodge and develop, If the wall
is painted however, not only are these
pores filled with paint and rough, alb
sorptive surface turned into smooth,
unabsorptive surface, but painted
wall can be easily and effectively
washed, while the implanted wall can
not be cleaned successfully. This is
another evidence of the fact that good
health is nothing but common sense.
Keep your surroundings clean and neat
and you will lead a healthier and a
happier life than you will If you live
in the midst of dirt and confusion.
