DISCUSSION MAKES TROUBLE

r. HE Boston Red SoX were play
ing in Philadelphia Up to the
81 eighth inning Lefty Grove,
star southpaw of the Athletics, was
pitching most efficiently and enjoy
ing slender lead by 21 margin.
With one on in the eighth, Man
ager Carrigan sent in Ira Flagstead
as pinch hitter and he came through
with a much desired home run, put
ting Boston ahead, 80.
In Philadelphia's half of the in
ming, Ty Cobb, the first man up,
drove a ball over the right-f1eld wall.
Everybody seems agreed that the
ball was fair when it passed out of
the Enclosure. Had the umpire S
jurisdiction ended at that point, all
would have been lovely for the Off
Gals.
However, the. rules call for the
umpire to follow the ball until it
disappears from his view. This I'M
pire Ormsby did, and it so happened
that the ball was finally carried foul.
He so ruled and thereby wiped out
the run that would have tied up the
ball game.
If it had been against the
visitors, the crowd would have
been delighted, but against the
home team it was just the op-
posite. Some OF the players
kicked, with the usual results. ban.
ishment from the game and the
decision remaining unchanged.

Hunter Falls Down

In his first important matches of
the European tour he is taking with
Frank Hunter. he defeated Lacoste
and Borotra in singles, but Hunter
lost to Lacoste and Borotra and the
Americans lost the doubles and the
team match.
That may be what will happen
when the two teams meet for the
Davis cup.
Tilden seems to be able TO hold
up his end in the two singles
matches he will have to play. but he
can't win the doubles without help.
That brings about the problem-who
will help Tilden? There is only one
answer-Bill Johnston. But will
Johnston be able to do 1t? Frank
Hunter is not a shining star, but
he certainly is no dub. 1t is doubt
full whether Dick Williams, another
likely member Of the American cup
team. can beat Lacoste or Borotrs.

NEW YORK, May 24.-Upon the

placed the responsibility of keepini.

Two good men during their
ascendancy the best in the world

foreign challengers resigned them
selves to the decision that the cup
never would leave the United States
until Bill Tilden and Bill Johnston
lost their speed.

WO years ago Fosdick Good
rich, youngster in his teens,
went up to Culver Military
Academy, just a mere Indianapolis
entry in the State Junior golf
tourney. He returned to Indianapolis
a champion. The town awakened. ,
During the past winter. the Indian
apolis Park Board decided Fosdick
would be a good instructor at the
Pleasant Run municipal course. He
took up his duties, there this spring.
Monday "Fosdy" blossomed out
into the world,a pro. He entered the
pro-amateur tournament at Meridian
Hills, and (among ten other pros, he
was a dark horse.
1t rained, it stormed and 1t blew,
but "Fosdy" and his partner, George
Greene, an amateur, carried on.
Most of all, "Fosdy" cashed in un-
-. fire.
Freddy McDermott, and George
Denny, his amateur partner. won
first cash prize with a sparkling "a.
Denny was. a good partner and
helped Fred on three holes. He had
three-foot putt for a 70 on the
18th green, but like Jones, Evans
and other stars do frequently. he
blew it, Mark that victory down for
youth.
Age took another bump when
Ralph Stonehouse, playing with r.
S. Wright, an amateur, scored a 70.
He was happy with second place
however.
For third place money we get back
to our opening dream. Now for the
final stretch drive of Goodrich and
Greene. "Fosdy" started shooting
on the thirteenth hole. His last six
holes were scored in 4-4-5<3-3-5.
Green helped nobly with a duece on
hole Is.

Trio of French

But France uncovered last year
Rene Lacoste, Henri Cochet and
Jean Borotra.
Tilden lost the national champion
ship to Lacoste, Vincent Richards re-
tired from amateur competition to
become a professional and Johnston
showed that year by year physical
inieriCrity is reducing the brilliance
of his game and that a noble fighting
heart can't pump enough power into
weakened arms and faltering legs to
keep up the pace.
Tilden started out this year with
the intention Of staging a comeback
and devoting what possibly is his
last year in amateur tennis to a
redemption Of his reputation and to
restoration Of the prestige OF the
American game

TWENTIETH CHRISTMAS SEAL
SALE

There are probably but few peo-
pie in the State of Maryland who
have not been apprized of the Twen-
tieth Annual tuberculosis Christmas
Seal Sale which started on Thanks
giving Day and will continue until
Christmas.
Throughout the State more than
two hundred thousand Seal Sale let
tiers have been sent to individuals,
asking them to buy the enclosed
seals. Through the medium of the
press, the movies, bill-boards, mag
az1nes, posters, etc., the residents OF
this county are being told that Tu-
berculosis is preventable and cur
able; that the death rate has been
reduced in twenty years by more
than half. ''All of this has been
made possible by the little Christmas
Seal" advises Mr.. William B. Mat
thews, Managing Director Of the
Maryland tuberculosis Association,
at Baltimore. Mr.. Matthews stated
that even though all possible means
are being used to acquaint the peo-
pie with the Christmas Seal, that
there are many who inquire each
year as to how the Christmas Seal
funds are spent. Mr.. Matthews,
therefore, has compiled brief list
of the activities, both County and
Statewide, which have been made
possible by the sale of the little
Christmas Seal
First: The Miracle House. A
preventorium, located at Claiborne
for undernourished and under-privi-
legged children of Maryland. In nine
years more than one thousand child
rem have been treated, a number of
them from this county.
Second: tuberculosis Clinics.
For four years, free chest clinics
have been held in the Counties in CO.
operation with the State Health De-
partment and the practicing physi-
clan.
Third: Nursing Service. Finan-
cial support to County Public Health
Nurses in many of the counties.
Fourth: Child Health Education.
Assisting school teachers through
out the state in the linking up of a
general health program with the
regular curriculum.
Fifth: Industrial Service.
Sixth: Education and Publicity.
Through the medium of the press,
motion pictures, posters, booklets,
exhibits, lectures, etc., an all year
round program is conducted in the
interest of the prevention of Tuber-

Formative Years May
Haze "Made" CARLYLE

One of the many great men of the
Victorian age was Thomas Carlyle
He exerted powerful influence over
his own age and nodded the thought
of his times as few writer's have done
He was stimulating thinker, a bit.
ter critic of the materialism that has
been so insidious an evil to every
generation
He was born December 4, 1895, in
Ecclefechan, Scotland. His father
was exceedingly stern and Thomas
childhood was, as he afterward re
marked, wholesome rather than joy
GUS. He attended the village schools,
which he disliked intensely, and
served as teacher. He saved about
$3.50. but with the frugality that life
had taught him, he walked to Edin
burgh to continue his studies.
He stayed there three years, at
tending lectures at the university and
paying his expenses by tutoring. He
was not sociable youth and he
made few friends, but at Kirkcaldy,
where he obtained a position as teach
er. he became intimate with Edward
Irving. schoolmaster three years
older than Carlyle. This. friendship
proved of inestimable Importance to
Carlyle. Irving did more to rouse
him to think and to think hard than
any man he had met. In these forma-
tive years Carlyle struggled against
despair. He never was physically
well and the illness that afflicted him
in later years was already making
him respondent, yet he persisted and
became recognized as one of the great
men of the age.-Kansas City Times.

Seafaring Men Long
Chung to Sea Serpent

Since the days of the first seafarers
who pe0pled the ocean with mer.
maids and mermen-as well as
with awful monsters, the belief in
sea serpents and similar marine Won
ders has been firmly held by many
mariners.
In modern times sea serpents were
reported to have been seen along the
coast of the United States and Can
ada in 1906. 1916, 1874 and 1916, and
In the latter years similar creatures
were reported to be prevalent along
the Norwegian coast.
The first case which gained any ere
dence among scientific men, however.
was the report of Captain McQuhas
of the British navy, commander OF
the warship Daddalus, who declared
that on August 6, 1S4S. while en- route
from the Cape of Good Hope to St.
Helena, he and his men saw strange
monster of great size, having many
characteristics of the sea serpent of
the popular imagination. After long
discussion. however, the scientific
world decided that the serpent" was
a species of seal inhabiting the South
seas.
