Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1925-08-20

The Brilion News published by Otto lander is like
the majority Of small town papers that it does not al
ways contain editorial feature but whenever Mr. Zar-
der is moved to comment matters of interest to Bril-
hon. ne invariably hiCs the nail Squarely he head and
nearly always furnishes object lesson for other com
mnltles than Bron In the last issue of the News he
had the following to say in regard to the tendencies of
small towns to neglect the patronage of their bust
ness and Indirectly, to the detriment Of the town as
whole Read what he says!
Another instance of how small towns misreat them
selves as compared with their iberaty and generosity
toward big cities. We all know how the average small
cwner acts toward the city stranger who comes in to sell
him something he has already perhaps refused to buy
which his home tries to sell him. The average small
toWner falls for the city mans bait.
The city and his boss that much richer,
the home town exactly where it before No better
off, possibly little off, and waiting for the next
bait from the big town. You may etort If the local buy
of the city mans article has bought it cheapy
than he could buy it from the home man. then he is the
gamer and with him the community But does it work
out that way? For presently the smal-towner makes
journey to the big city toward which he acted gener
ously What happens then? No use asking. He goes
there with bulgng purse and spends money at high
prices for things he have daily in his home town. So
1t he is the sort who practices economy by buying
cheapy from the city stranger than he could buy from his
neghbor the street. the big city takes his savings
away from him again when he comes town. and once
more we behold the small town left holding the bag
with nothing in it. First little money by buying
from the stranger and then pack and the city
and leave savings right there where the rest of our
money went The generosity and liberality of small
town folks toward the big cities is positively stupendous
In fact it is satown money that builds the big cities
And here is another way IN which small towns try to
commit hari kari themselves that other ctys
business may prosper 1t is Brons experience and
is similar to experiences of other small towns-for prac
tcaly all small towns in the boat. We refer
to the oft repeated disappearance of baker men, who
came to our city to meet crying need for home bak

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 20. Lefty"
Groves, 100000 rookie. and mystery
pitcher Of the major leagues, has
charged his throwing style.
"Lefty's'e failure to win and his
sudden loss of control after he Ell

of trumpets, has been diagnosed as
an incorrect pitching delivery.
This conclusion was reached a
month ago by strategists in the
Athletics camp. but no mention OF
it was made until today, when Ira
Thomas, battery coach, admitted
Groves pitching style had under
gone radical change.

Connie Mack was very much OBJ

when he reported in the spring. al
though players and experts alike

"sinrnons bats with his foot in the

and triumphed. The Griffmen beat

Griffmen two games behind them
Mogridge pitched the first game

Russell divided the work in the
second. 1t was a great day for the
Griffmen in that exciting struggle

Ruether never looked effective
enough to win a close game, In
spite Of the fact that all first five
runs came after two were out. His
control was good but he lacked any
puzzling stuff, as the sixteen hits
attest. He was given great batting
support, something the champions
have not given their veteran finger
for some time. Maybe they have
decided to win some games with
hard hitting instead of merely air.
tight pitching.
Hank SEVERED got a double and
three singles and would have had
another single but for Surgeons
robbery over behind second base in
the seventh. Ruether had a home
run and two singles. Joe Harris had
a double and two singles and Judge
had three singles.
It was sloppy game. but to
have the Griffs shake off their bat

this last swing through the West.
