GRIFFS PUZZLE
BASEBALL
SHARPS
BY TAD.

NEW YORK, April 3.-Baseball
writer's who have been in the south
and the baseball experts who dope
by fractions are up in the air this
year in placing the Washington
Senators and YankS in the Selec-
tons. Some Of them rate Wash.
ington fourth and fifth; others say
the boys under Bucky Harris will
repeat.
The Yanks give many the i'm.
preston that they are over-confi-
dent. Some place them third;
others pick them to repeat.
You will notice that Ty Cobb 8
Tigers are one, two, three in most
all the selections.
The other night up in John
Doyle's ivory academy two fans
made a freak bet. One Of them,
who declared the Senators to be
overrated, bet a suit of Globes that
they would not beat the Philadel-
phia Athletics by five full games.
The Senators fooled everybody
last year, however, by running
their lucky streak right through
the tough end of the season, nosing
out New York, and along through
the world series, too.
Trimming the overconfident Yanks
reminded the writer of a fight at
the Garden years ago. Kid Will
Jams may be compared to the Yanks.
He was a tough middleweight, who
had never been knocked out in his
life, and this night he was fighting
Frank Klaus. at that time an UNI
known and later champion middle
weight.
Along about the fifth round Will
Jams was in a clinch and. looking
down at the press stands with a
grin, said: "a dime a dozen for
this kind" About half a minute
later the Kid stopped one with his
kisser and was flat on his back,
knocked colder than a landlord 8
heart.

With Plans

LOS ANGELES, Cal, April g.
William NJ. Garland member Of the
international Olympic committee. .le-
clared here today he did not believe
the Olympic games of 1928 would
ge brought to Los Angeles because
Of the great expense involved and
the present unstable conditions in
Europe. Garland's comment was
made following reports from New
York that Los Angeles might take
over the games that have been as
signed to Holland in 1928.
LOS Angeles is standing firm for
the Olympic games in 1882" Gar.
land said, land personally I am OPP
posed to advancing our date four
years to take over the next meet.
"A definite decision whether Hol
land will stage the games In 1928
will be reached at a meeting of the
International Olympic games com
mittees at Prague on May 20. l
believe that Holland will stage the
games, despites rumors to the con-
trary.
Should Holland decide it is un-
able to hold the games in 1928, Rome,
Madrid or some other European city
will no doubt be chosen. We are
opposed to holding the 1928 games
here for various reasons among
them beirs the present unstable
conditions in Europe and the fact
that the lack of finances might
deter some Of the countries from
sending the cream Of their athletes
here.
Our main aim is to stage the
games here in 1882"

BY SAM CRANE.

MEMPHIS, April 3.-John Nc
Graw thinks well OF the world
champion Washington club and
doesn't hesitate in saying SO. When
asked what he thought of the
American League race McGraw
said:
'.Now, now you know 1 haven't

to talk about our friends who

"The Dodgers forced US to the

against them for several successive
wears. That we handcuffed them
so often when their pennant hopes
were the brightest. has been their
fate. BY doing so the Giants and
myself have become quite unpopu
lar in Pittsburgh"
Continuing, McGraw said:
"Stiu. / fear them more, than
any other team the coming season,
ne they have been enabled to get
more punch to their hitting by the
trading they have done during the

Too many people suffer lame, ach- ing backs, distressing kidney disor- ders and rheumatic aches and pains. Often this is due to faulty kidney action and there's danger of harden ed arteries, dropsy, gravel or Bright's disease. Don't let weak kidneys wear you out. Use Doan's Pills be- fore it is too late. Doan's are a stimulant diuretic to the kidneys, Doan's have helped thousands, Here is one of many cases in this local ity.
 Mrs. E. s. Sparkling, Central Ave, South Bend, Wash, says: For years Doan's Pills have been household remedy in our family. They have always given good results when I have suffered from any trouble caus- ed by disordered kidneys or back ache and I couldn't recommend a bet ter remedy"
