Eleven years Of hoping for sec.

terialized into a reality for George
Dumont, former Griffman, the other
day when the Cincinnati Reds
bought the veteran hurler from
Minneapolis.
When the late Bob Unglaub, one
time star Of the Cleveland Indians

cities, was in its infancy. Unglaub
was appointed manager Of the Min

by the MiIlers' management, and
Dumont was one OF the first huriers
Unglaub secured.
Dumont hurled brilliant ball for
the Junior MilIers. and when the

1912 he was called back by Joe

The feeling domestically toward
Zachary is the exception to
the rule of baseball which per-
mits of few sentimentalities and
which looks largely to cold fig
ures and facts. Afttr all, base
ball is a business, and the ma
neuvering of men from one team
to another is done without re-
pect to personal wishes or feel
ings. The item of individual
chagrin is unknown to this ma
tional pastime of ours, and only
establishment can occur to one
who is shunted to the st. Louis
Browns.
Zachary is essentially a man
of the people and for that rea-
son is liked by them. Nothing
flossy about him; nothing osten-
tatious or high-hattish; always
just the same, plain, good old
Tawn Zachary, just as he came
out of Gulliford College, down
in Nawth Calina.Z
Another winning element Of
that first Washington world
series also passed on via st
Louis, and he passed on several
months sooner than did Zachary.
We are speaking Of George
Mogridge, of course; one of the
pleasantest personalities who
ever wore a Washington uni
form.
Mogridge was veritable
tonic to any team that was SUBJ
ject to the dump or the blues
or the down-and-out feeling
which men and groups of men
sometimes get.
Before Walter Johnson made
his comeback in the seventh
game, it was Zach and Mog-
ridge who had been saviors for
Washington. They have both
gone hence-Walter is still here
and and it's a safe bet that
Barney would have rather beaten
any pitcher in either league
yesterday afternoon than to have
had to administer the ,one he
did to his old team-mate and
pitching colleague. Saying
which, we will all dry our eyes
on the community kerchief and
call it q day.

TAGGING THE BASES
IN THE BIG LEAGUES

The deadlock for first place in
the American League was shattered
when the Yanks nosed out Cleve-
land in the tenth, to 8. Shocker

three hits.
Philadelphia, making records
faster than Charlie Hoff and MUIR

the tenth, 4 to 8, and is the first
team in the American League to
win nine straight this season.
Hal Wiltse Of the Red Sox proved
that all rockies aren't lemons by
beating Detroit, to 2. The bat

game.
Pittsburgh staged Roman holi-

for II hits. The score was IA to 8

CARD
By Ross L. Conklin

Would you believe that after a
chap lowered the amateur course
record for the Chevy Chase Club,
he fused and TUNED all afternoon
because he missed a 12-foot putt
on the 18th green for q So? George
J. Voigt, the Districts amateur
champion, and probably the best
golfer in the city with the ex-
ception OF Roland Mackenzie, did
just that in the qualifying play at
Chevy Chase.
Every one at the club knew that
Voigt had a makable putt for g.
So on that 18th and many watched
ball firmly and It rolled straight
for the flag, struck the side and
kicked out. However, he got his
SO and now he holds the honor or
being the course breaker.
Voigt was par on every hole
but the eleventh and twelfth.
Also, he made brides on the
thirteenth and fifteenth, and that
brought him IN with q card OF
exact par figures. His achieve
maent Is all the more creditabie
when it is known that some OF
che best golfers In the city failed
to come within ten strokes OF
bis score.
John F. Brawner and his father,
John W. Brawner. of Columbia,
had a queer experience while they
were waiting their turn to go OF
the first tee. They sat down on
O little knoll and soon were OBJ
served slapping at their bodies and
scratching profuse1y and well. They
had chosen q large ant hill to sit
on and the ants resented the In
trusion with all their might.
Both were bitten about the legs
and hands but no permanent in
jury was sustained.
T. MI. Foley and within L.
HiIlyer, both members Of the
Chevy Chase club, had another
queer experience. When they
reached the tenth tee, they
noticed young robin flutterIng
IN . tree with . piece of gtring
binding its leg 70 the tree.
Foley boosted HilIyer into the
tree and the latter got the bird and
unfastened It. It looked as though
the robin had picked up piece
of string for q nest and then had
unwittingly fastened It about Its
leg. After his exertions, Hil1yer
found his putting touch gone, and
ne scored q SO. Later on, playing
with Paul 7. Anderson, who aad
no partner, Hillyer shot an 81.

Support Sought in Movement to Slash Oppressive and
IN American Featur es' From WRIGHT Law.

Respect for law has reached a low
ebb. Promiscuous drinking Of boot
leg whiskey and synthetic gin has
become a common custom among our
young people of all classes.
I'VE feel that the time has come
for all good citizens to join in this
Indiana Liberty League movement
to correct some of these conditions.
Support Expected
1.-The oppressive and un-American
features of the Wright law will be
an issue in the next Legislature.
Much is to be done before the Legis-
lature convenes.
Relief from such measures can
not be accomplished by waiting I'M
til the Legislature is organized and
under way.
"Only by concerted action, begun
early, and consistently carried on,
can relief be secured.
1--WE are receiving much encour-
agement and are expecting a general
support of this movement. Our or
ganization offers a non-political and
non-rellgious medium for this relief.
"And only by a Statewide~ and
forceful organization in Indiana can
we convince our representatives in
Congress that we are expecting re-
lief from Federal regulations which
not only do not regulate but have
created an utter contempt for or
ganized government.
