HIS GREATEST FEAI

While Sislcr is proud of the records
1 have discussed, he tells me that his
greatest thrill as far as batting is con-
cerned rwaS limited to a one-day per-
formance.
In a game with Washington. he first
came to the bat with the bases filled
and proceeded to clear them "-''A'
triple. The next inning he was up
again with the sacks loaded. This
time he made home run.
Thus, in two consecutive innings,
through the medium of triple and a
home run, Sisler had the unique dis
tinction of driving seven runs over the
plate. It's record as far as know.
"That was real action out of clear
sky that gave me a real kick" says
Sisler. "While I have a feeling of
pride in my other efforts, still can
rot say that I greatly enjoyed the
various experiences"
One is too tense and the strain
at times is terrific in registering a
record like batting safely in Al
consecutive games.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-07-27
FAILED AT THIS ONE

Only recently, Sisler threatened a
batting feat of which Iris Speaker is
justly proud, the making Of II con-
secutive base hits.
Speaker made his record during the
season of 1920, noted for unusual bat
ting feats. 1t included 10 singles, two
of them bunts, and one double.
Sisters attack on Speakers consecu-
tive batting record was broken after
he had made eight in a row. Unlike
Speaker, Sisler scattered a number of
extra base hits into the effort, making
home run, a triple, three doubles
and the same number of singles before
he was stopped.
Charley Ruffing of the Boston Red
Sox was the pitcher to end Sisters
base hit rampage. He made him
ground out to First Baseman Todt in
his ninth attempt
Several years ago, as 1 recall it,
SisIer made 10 hits in a row, only
to be stopped in the same man
ner, ground ball to the first
baseman on which he was retired.

Voters Urged to Study
Government MECHANICS
Few Realize Importance of
Precinct Officials, Says
InSIey.

Too many persons who otherwise
are good citizens do not know
enough about the mechanics of their
government to intelligently par
ticipate in it, declared W.. H. ms
ley, manufacturer, and leader in the
city manager movement, said to-
day.
1T would be difficult to get to-
gether a group more representative
of that large body of people which
is concerned for good government
than the group of 100 delegates
from the civic organizations of In
dianapolis which met at the Lin
coin Hotel on Nov. 3 to formulate
recommendations to the city coun-
Gil, which was about to elect a
mayor in succession to Mr.. Duval.
During an interval at this meeting,
a show of hands was asked on the
question, who is your precinct
committeeman" Those who did
not know were asked to hold up
their left hands, and fully rs per
cent Of the hands went up.

'I speak of this incident to point
the statement that one of the great
difficulties in which we find our
selves politically, is a lack OF. in

ga negligible percentage OF this
class knows, for instance, that
precinct committeeman are elected
at the primary in May, or that
these committeeman elect the city
and county chairmen of, their re-
spective political parties, as well as
appoint the election boards which
receive and count their ballots, and
thus are the authority from which
the whole political machinery is set
up.
''It has been stated that not 20
per cent of those who vote at a
primary election take the time to-
vote for precinct committeeman;
which means that the whole ma
chinery of government is abandoned
to those who are wide awake to
control it as an item of personal
property, multiplied examples of
which have been uncovered in our
city and county in recent months.

To Make Pine Cough
Syrup at Home
Has no equal for prompt results.
Takes but moment to make.

Pine is used in nearly all prescrip-
tons and remedies for coughs. The
reason, is, pine has remarkable effect
in soothing and healing the membranes
Of the throat and chest.
Pine cough syrups are combinations
Of pine and syrup. The Syrup" part
is usually plain sugar syrup.
To make the best pine cough remedy
that money can buy, put 21a ounces
Of Pinex in pint bottle, and fill up
with homemade sugar syrup. Or YOU
can use clarified honey, instead of sugar
syrup. This makes a full pint-mOre
than you can buy ready-made for
three times the money. It is pure, and
tastes good. 4
You can feel this take hold of a
cough or cold in a way that means
business. The cough may be dry,
hoarse and tight, or may be persist
emily loose from the formation of
phlegm. The cause is the Same-in-

usually in "a hours or less. Splendid,
too, for bronchial asthma, bronchitis,

1t seems to me more reasonable
