BULLDOGS WORK.
BRINGS SMILES
TO COACH FACE

The Bulldogs went through their
PAGES last evening in one OF the
snappiest workouts of the season and
smiles crept over the faces OF Coach
''F1lzzy" Warren and Assistant Coach
"Baggy" McCord as they saw big
holes open UP in the lire and fleet,
footed backs pierce through with the
speed of Borah for big chunks OF
yardage.
The Bulldogs are a determined set
of players and have but one thought
in mind-BEAT MESA. That IS the
task they are set to this Saturday on
the local gridiron and besides up
setting the dope bucket they have
the first chance to topple Mesa and
thus take q strong lead in the con-
ference race.
The invading team are called Jack
Rabbits because Of their shifty style
of play and their elusiveness in
trying to catch, but the Bulldogs feel
through the Mesa line in a march for
a touchdown. The Bulldogs will prob
ably be- much the lighter team but
will depend on, aggressiveness and
speed to win the game.
"Chinch's'y Cummins, lanky fullback
on the local team, is a tower OF
strength both on cffense and defense
and will probably be called on to
bear the brunt of the attack. Hoh-
stadt and Miller are showing CON-
siderable ability at the backtield posi-
tions and Hood will probably be the
field general, as his, tactics are de-
liberate and sure and calculated to
bring results. Fuzzy Warren is
worried over his line as it appears
weak in spots, but the best player
will get the call if any weakness
shows up Saturday.
Bill Bouldin, speedy halfback, is
developing into strong player
and is apt to go into the backfield
before the game is very old. He
played strong game in Saffora and
broke loose for a touchdown in the
third period.
Thrasller, stocky guard and tackle,
Is showing more promise than any
player on the field and is possible
candidate for a tackle unless Williams
improves. Franklin, Sanders, Peryan,
McFcae and Powers are still fighting
for places at the wings and all have
chance to play.
The game Saturday will be played
at $3.50 p. m. on the Tenth street
park gridiron.

WAIVER BoYs INTERESTING

( Unquestionably, the two most inter
jesting players in the National league
this year are the Waner brothers of
Pittsburgh.
1 have seen Paul Waner in action
a number of times and well realize
he is a remarkable ball player. In
the only game in which saw Lloyd
in action, he had very ordinary
day, failed to hit and gummed up
one of his two fielding chances. In
that same game Paul was at his best.
: In this connection, recall what a
fan from northern Michigan once said
to me. Living several hundred miles
from Detroit, he saw Cobb play per-
haps a dozen times during his con-
nection with the Tigers. In tanning
with him one day, 1 made the re-
mark that Cobb was the greatest
player, all things considered, I have
ever seen in action.
st guess all you say about Cobb is
true, but 1 can't vouch for it," he
replied. II get TO see him in action
about once year; have seen him
play about a dozen games and yet I
have never seen him make a base
hit"
1t just happened that Cobb
would be off his stride or was
opposed by a pitcher good enough
to make trouble for him when
friend fan saw him play.
&, =
PRAISE FOR BOTH BOYS
Interested to know what the Ma
tiona1 league players thought of the
famous Waner brothers, I have never
failed to seek information on that
subject whenever bumped into a
National league club during the sum-
mer.
paul Waner is wonder would
invariably be the response from every
player talked with. He does every
thing well. Almost single-handed he
has kept the Pirates in the race for
the last two years"
When 1 mentioned the younger
brother, Lloyd, the answer would
usually be along these lines:
"The kid has been a sensation this
year You wonder how he keeps
going with his slight physique. He's
marvel if he can keep it up"
While the National league players
do not make any definite statements
on the subject of the younger Waner,
they give you the impression that
they have their doubts about his
ability to continue his mad pace.
When an opposing team stopped g
the Waner boys this year, the
Pirates were not nearly SO hard
to beat. That is the best test of
their real worth. GAB1 s

FIRST CASE OF KIND
I doubt if ever in the history OF
baseball have two brothers enjoyed
such remarkable success as the
Waners over the same period.
In a batting way, Paul Waner was
the first National league player to
make 200 hits. Lloyd Waner reached
that mark few days later. AS far

FEET ARE BIGGER
Dancing and Athletics Have
Expanded TootSieS.

NEW YORK. June 3. Women's
feet are getting larger.
For generations the average size
of the foot of the American woman
has been Alb. But the modern girl
has outgrown this standard. accord
ing to figures published by the Wom-
ans Home Companion, and the
average size at present is nearly half
an inch longer and a full size wider
than that of a brief decade ago.
Athletics, dancing and much walk
ing on pavements are advanced as
the principal reasons for the increas-
ing size Of the feminine foot.
Some accompanying information
on footwear includes the fact that
women's feet show less variety in
size than formerly. Standardization
is apparently in process of evolution.
Standard Size
A great industrialist, asked how
he would apply modern methods of
mass production to, shoes, replies
that he would make only one style
and only one size-the average-and
all persons with feet larger
or smaller than the average to go
elsewhere and pay higher prices.
6,O06 Hose Styles
Women with the particularly
dainty feet and men with particular
ly big ones may therefore some day
have to go to the custom bootmaker.
On the other hand, this survey of
feminine feet and footwear shows
that hosiery is defying the standard
izer. One large company which in
1920 carried 480 varieties-styles, col
ors and sizes-of stockings now has
to carry 6006, because fashion has
decreed profusion of .colors.

Good Political Move Seen in
Choice of Vacation Spot
by President.
BY Ray Tucker

WASHINGTON, June 3.-If Presi-
dent Coolidge had selected his sum-
ner vacation spot with the sole idea
Of furthering his reputed third-term
plans, he could not have made a
better choice. in the opinion of ma
tional political leaders.
Rejecting offers from safe Repub-
lican territory. the President has de-
cided to spend three months in the
heart of an area where antagonism
toward himself and certain of his
major policies has been reported by
his emissaries.
His lodge in the Black Hills of
South Dakota will offer an excellent
vantage point from which to per-
suade resentful Republicans that
their only hope of prosperity lies in
remaining true to him and the Re-
publican party in 1928.
Accessible to Visitors
His lodge will be only few miles
from the western border of South
Dakota. 1t will be sufficiently access
sible to visitors. Thus he will be
within striking distance of the ten
States where unrest reigns over ag-
ricultural reverses and falling land
values.
That bill was the Vests formal

which, in their opinion. has neglect
ed the farmers in the interests of
the industrial and commercial ele-
ments of the East. Though President
Coolidge vetoed it, he has indicated
his willingness to do something SINH
lar for the farmer.
Fervent reiterations of his plan TO
aid agriculture. made in confidence
or by radio from the porch of his
forty-room lodge, may go a long way
toward suppressing revolt in this re-
gion. II even may win certain in
fluential G. o. p. leaders of the West
from their attachment to Frank
Lowden and Vice President Dawes.
