The AS annoyed Bucky Harris
bunch considerably in the fourth, the
lone frame in which Burke pitched,
but they could not get man around.
Boley got two bases with an archer
to left to begin. and after Baker
whitfield Bishop drew a pass. French
tried TO sacrifice, but succeeded only in
forcing out Boley. Burke got out of
the mean spot when Speaker collared
Lamar's short hoist.
Two hits by the Nationals In the
fifth were good for a tying run. With
Rice gone, Harris cracked a single to
center and took second as Dykes
blocked Speakers drive and retired
the batter. Goslin, who already had
driven over two runs, lined a one
baser to right-center, and his manager
scampered to the final base.
The Mackmen jumped into the lead
again in the seventh, BraXton's third
round of toll, when French opened
with a one-baser. Lamar sacrificed
| neatly, then Simmons got his third
hit of the day, a double down the left
field line, TO drive home a score for
the third time.
Knot Count i'm Eighth.
The Nationals waited until two were
they got to Pate, relief dependent of
Connie Mack, in earnest, and set about
knotting the count again. Then two
base knocks by Bluege and Reeves
did the work. Ossie's hit was a sound
one that slid down the left field line.
Bobs safety was looper to right, just
too far out for Bishop to handle and
too short for French to get under.
In the ninth. the Athletics kicked
up some dust before the Nationals got
chance to stage their winning
splurge. Bishop began the visitors
attack with single to center, but
French was automatically out when
his third bunting attempt resulted in
foul. Lamar, though, knocked Judge
off his feet with vicious drive and it
was remarkable that Joe managed TO
scramble up and beat the batter to the
bag Right there Harris yanked
Braxton. ordering Marberry to the
hill. Simmons best off the newcomer
was a loft to Rice.
Then the home crowd swung into
action. Rice singled to begin the
Washington end Of the ninth and
sprinted to third when Harris socked
a one-baser. Manager Mack ordered
Pate to walk Speaker, thus filling the
bases, and take chance at Goslin,
who never had been very successful
when batting against the venerable
left-hander.
The Goose Delivers.
Mack's strategy seemed sound when
the Goose let the first pitch go by for
a strike and fouled the second one.
Goslin swung again at the third pitch
and a pop to short left field resulted.
Lamar misjudged the loft badly, first
going back for catch. When he
realized his mistake, the Mack left
fielder had no chance to get under the
sphere and it fell for the single that
sent Rice across with the big run OF
the day.

Curious Old Custom
of Literary Giants

Lipogrammatic works, the product
Of the early Greek authors, are those
books In which one letter of the alpha
bet is omitted throughout the volume.
Tryphiodorus, when writing his Odys-
sey, had not an "a" In his first book,
nor a 'b" in his second. In so doing
he was but copying the Lipogrammatic
uiad Of NestOr.
Athenaeus writes Of an ode by Pin.
dar In which the latter purposely omit
ted the letter 's," thereby leading us
to surmise that this little hoax was
one of the literary fashions of the day.
A Persian poet once read to the cele-
brated Jami one of his own compost
tions with the letter Alif consistently
omitted throughout Jami, who did
not care for the sonnet. sarcasticaIIy
made the following recommendation !:
"You can do a better thing yet, take
away all the letters from every word
you have written"
Although the Greeks originated this
ingenious literary device, its use was
by no means exclusive with them
Lope de Vega, the celebrated Spanish
dramatic poet of the Sixteenth cen
tury, Gregorio Lett, and at a much
later day Lord North of the court of
James all employed this literary de-
vice and produced Lipogrammatic
books.-Market for Exchange.

fact during the Mississippi Valley

this greatest OF all disasters In
United States history, from April

Business Contacts No
Longer Made on Links

Golf is losing out as business get
ter. Since the habit of playing has be-
come nearly universal among eXecu-
tives, mere common interest In the
sport no longer brings individuals to-
gether. Devotion to the game has be-
come so general that 1t has lost Its
competitive advantage as business
asset to a large extent.
In the early days of the ancient
Scottish game, when golf players were
few In number, common interest in
the same hobby made buddies out OF
bankers and customers, lawyers and
clients. Now golf-like all nonbusi-
ness activities-serves merely to create
an attitude of friendliness and to
break down the formality of purely
business contracts. But mere ca
pacity to play golf is no longer enough
to bring in business. In this sense,
the collateral advantages of golf have
been overdone. Popularity breeds in
nervousness.
Incidentally, the tremendous expan-
sion of facilities for playing golf in
this country Is tending to keep many
men of wealth, who formerly went
abroad each year, at home in the sum
mer.-Nation's Business.

Bones of Mammoth Herd
10000 Years Old Found

New York.-Discovery of the bones
Of a large herd of mammoths that had
"bogged down" in q salt creek in the
desert wastes near Carlsbad cavern
in New Mexico more than 10000 years
ago, was related in dispatch to the
New York Times from Carl b. Living
ston, assistant to Willis Il. Lee Of the
National Geographic society.
The society's explorers, Livingston
said, had suspected that mammoths
had once lived in the desert waste,
80 miles southeast of Carlsbad cavern,
because ivory beads had been found
among the relics of the cavemen who
buried their dead in cave tombs In
the Guadalupe mountains, overlooking
the region.
Picking up mammoth tooth at the
mouth of small creek, the party pro-
ceeded along the windngs of the
stream and found fragments of mas
sive jawbone.
Preaching some water holes, which
turned out to be briny," the dispatch
said, 1--WE saw tusks and many huge
bones, exposed by torrents that had
cut through the gravel bars and clay
banks. Apparently herd of 20 or
80 mammoths had died in this one
spot"
Evidently all these animals during
ages past had been lured there by the
tempting appearance OF good water
Mr. Livingston continued. ut Is
equally easy to surmfse how they met
their deaths. We were walking along
over what seemed dry crust in the
stream bed-then suddenly, down we
went, hip deep in quicksand and soft
claw"

WOMAN JUDGE is
ALLY OF CUPID
South Carolina Jurist Has Is
sued 10000 Licenses.

Greenville, S. C.-Cupid's greatest
ally in a state which has no divorce
laws is Mrs. Fannie Davis Scott,
Judge of Probate in Greenville county.
She is still young woman, but
during the seven years she has been
in office she has issued more than
10000 marriage licenses and per-
formed many Of the ceremonies.
She advises with virtually every
couple that comes for license and
occasionally when some of them come
back later reporting their marriage
is about to Ego on the rocks" she
tries to relieve the trouble. Usually
she succeeds.
"If you are not happy apart" she
sometimes tells them, "there must be
a reason, and that reason is love-"
Interference of parents or other
persons and the difficult task of ad-
justing personalities are given by Mrs.
Scott as two Of the principal causes
of trouble in the lives of the newly
married.
Issuance of marriage licenses is
only one of the duties of her court.
She handles Juvenile delinquency
cases and also presides at lunacy
hearings. All wills in the county are
filed in her office.
Regarded us one of the leading
women in South Carolina, Mrs. Scott
has held Office since 1921. The fol-
lowing year three men decided they
wanted her job. She defeated them.
While Mrs. Scott performs some of
the marriage ceremonies, she turns
most of them over to Assistant Judge
of Probate ]. P. Ballenger.
