Judge Cotteral of Oklahoma is pop ular among the bootleggers, who are treated with great leniency in his court, especially if they plead guilty, according to the Daily Oklahoman. The Judge also suggests reunions of bootlegegrs to be held semi-annually. Just what sort of programs are to mark these gatherings is not disclos- ed, but they will no doubt be devoted to matters of mutual helpfulness and the encouragement of high ethical in the profession.

get themselves into while in

the golfer, himself, to realize
that, while the baseball player

is called upon for more varia-

striking at the ball, and for far
more application of scientific

passed many miles on the hard
pressed railroads. And, all his.
journeying has cost many. many
dimes.

already assured, is 70 Hollywood

such place. When AL won the

won the trip. The promoters

Ing yOungster he win probably

The mounting expenses of play

thing not to be sneezed at. Bobby
Barnett, OF Chevy Chase, says that
It costs him minimum OF $500
for every tournament he plays In.
Taking in three tournaments

additional, eats Mp couple q
grand with no computations. Yet
most people believe golf pro leads
the life of a millionaire.
It will cost Dave Thompson and
Ralph Beach close to $500 to make
the trip to Chicago to play In the
Professional Golfers Association
tournament. And what do they get
out of it? Nothing, II they happen
TO run into snare and fall by the
wayside in the early playing.
On the other hand. should either
one happen to meet Leo Dlegel, jim
Barnes. Jock Hutchinson. Willie
MacFarlane, Johnny Farrell, or
Tommy Armour and beat them,
they will become National figures.
And well they ought.
Of all the promising professional

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 25.-The
Griffs open their final series in
ST. Louis today and they are
looking for rough treatment. The
Browns are playing good ball and
are anxious to take. at least two
out Of three from the champions.

but not as hot as the Griffs ex-
perienced on their last visit to this
city.

and Coveleskie win complete the
series here for the Griffs. The
last game in Detroit was terrible,
the Tigers winning IL to 4. The
champions got an even break in
the series, which was good
enough.
Dutch Ruether had nothing ana

he earned no medals. All in an.
Il wasn't any day OF joy for the
world champions. The Tigers cop.

It looked to everybody.
The Tigers got busy In their
second when Heifmann and Blue
singled and Burke filled the bases
when hit by pitched ball. Woodal

pan, Wells single TO right scored
Blue and Burke, Haney's double to

Blue singled. Burke hunted and
Gregg's wild peg scored Heilmann
and Blue. WOodaIIs double to

three guys died, giving the Griffs
breathing space.

right scored Manush and Blue.
Burke scored when Joe Harris drop

stands in the fourth and then and
there Bucky Harris admitted that
he had no chance to win. From
then on he merely went through
the motions and even brought Win
Ballou to the box. That shows how
desperate he was. McNeely was
hit by a pitched bah with two out
IA the sixth and scored on Goslin's
triple to right.
Joe Harris poIed the bah over
the left field wall, scoring Goslin
ahead Of him. That was q real
waIIOp, good for the bleaehers in
