Myth ard misunderstanding, barriers to sound gov
eminent and social progress, vu disappear with fuller
popular knowledge of the facts of history.
The real significance of history is now understood
as never before. It is a new way Of seeing how things
really are by following the process BY which they have
come about.
For some time this method Of Qualification has been
freely applied in the natural sciences-in such fields
rs anatomy, embryology, geology and even astronomy.
Now il S being carried over TO our personal lives and
to the social environment in which we find ourselves.
Our churches, schools, senates, courts, diplomats,
and the workings Of our business system must be ex-
planned by a knowledge of their coming about. This is
an essential to a proper grasp Of the problems asso-
ciated with them and for judicious plans for lettering
conditions.
History should underlie attempted reforms; It
might assure a poise, patience and ~expedient liberation
which so many Of our reformers now lack
Al1usions are constantly being made to mythical
facts or irrelevant and misunderstood situations. a
fuller knowledge Of the past dongs Of politicians would
tend to make our oversight Of them more exacting.
Tic be historically minded Is to be grown up. It IS
the sIrest way to transcend our persistent infantilismg,
which embarrass ms 40 sadly rs life goes on and render
so much discussion futile.

1MBIDEXTROUS COLFERPITCHER
 BATS, DRIVES FROM EITHER SIDE

LOUISVILLE, Ky, July 27.-The only ambidextrous golfer in pro fessional baseball, Joe Deberry. pitcher for the Louisville Colonels in the American Association, hits the pellet from any stance.
 Joe is deyotee of the ancient Scottish game and he finds that by carrying two sets of clubs "a right handed one and left-hand- d one-he can often save q stroke or two in difficult position.
 So Deberry's caddy does douhle duty while the angular hurler strides from tee to tee
 It's just as easy for me to play hem from one side as the other and often easier" Deberry says n explanation of his double-bar- seled game. Then, too, having wo sets of clubs is not like hay ng two automobiles. It's only the initial cost and not the up- keep that counts.'
 In addition to his ambidexterity of the links, Joe bats from either side of the plate and can throw equally well with either hand. al- though he has elected to become q right-handed twirler. He is a switch batter, however. and has been used from time to time as a pinch hitter.

Gene wobbled and tore out of precarious position, landing in the center of the ring before Torn could get away from the ropes Gene was boxing easily and spear ing with his left at the bell.
 EIGHTH ROUND
 Freshened by half a bucket of water over the head, Tunney came out and held the challenger help less. Heeney's left eye swollen and nearly closed by a right hook left him in deplorable condition. He could hardly see from that eye. It finally closed and the challenger tore in with one good eye Tunney, seeing his advan- tage, held the challenger a mo- ment. and then pumped lefts and rights to Toms head and body. Tom wobbled. Blood squirting from his nose, he lashed out despair ingly and Tunney met the attack.
 NINTH ROUND
 Barely able to see from his left eye, despite ministrations, Heeney gallantly piled into the champion. It seemed that dye from his tights had gotten onto Tunney's gloves and into the challenger's eye. Tun- ney, sportsmanlike. stopped. Then he slugged with the challenger, but Tom got the worst of the encoun- ter, as Tunney's knifing lefts drummed his head. Blood began to ooze from Heeney's eye. It was a gory sight. Heeney again summoned his strength and rip- ped a right and left to the cham pion's head.
 TENTH ROUND
 Heeney, with his eye almost nor mal again, came out doggedly. Gene grabbed him as he lunged, and sank a left and right to the body. The snap seemed to have disappeared from Heeney's punch es and Tunney apparently had lit tie desire to cut the challenger further. Gene grabbed Heeney

He rolled unconscious almost from the ring. The bell rang with Heeney out flat on his back. He had to be carried to his corner where his seconds worked desperately over him to restore him for the next round.
 ELEVENTH ROUND
 Tunney came out with a rush, shooting left which missed. He then measured Tom for the final blow. Showing amazing recuper- ative powers, his head a mass of blood, Tom plunged again into the champion. Gene smashed him with a right to the head and one to the heart that sent Tom reeling. Tom could barely stagger to place his back to the ropes.

 The Fight by Rounds
FIRST ROUND

lto hOOND
 Grimly determined. Tunne whipped a solid right to Heeney's jaw. The challenger tucked and swarmed all over Gene with short right hooks to the chin that drove the champion to the ropes; Hee- ney shot solid right to the head Using his right, Gene crashed two on Heeney's jaw, but a sweeping left hook in return almost bowled the champion over. Tunney came out fast, stabbing with his left, but Tom beat both hands in tattoo on Tunney's chin. Gene ripped a small right to- Heeney's heart, but 1t never moved the challenger Tunney was on the run as Tom ripped after him, both hands flail- ing to Gene's head. A bad bruise appeared over Tunney's left eye as the round ended.
 SECOND ROUND
 Tunney, startled by Heeney's fiery offensive, started boxing and shot left to Heeney's head, but couldn't keep the challenger away. Tunney blasted left and right in- to the sturdy head, hard as rock, without causing a flicker of the Anzac's eyes. They swapped hooks and furious exchange took place. Tunney spared as Tom ripped in. When Genes left hook dropped low, Tom mentioned it. Gene smil- ed and asked forgiveness. A sec ond later 10th were crashing each other in a slugging exchange of head clouts, which rocked both on their heels. The crowd roared its approval.
 THIRD ROUND
 Unawed by Tunney's newly found right, Heeney plodded into right-handed exchange. Tom dropped his guard and stood be- fore the champion, hands ready and daring another exchange. Gene accommodated Tom only to be cracked by lefts and rights and vii cious pokes that stung. Gene seem- ed not to like that and bounced back on the defense, spearing the challenger with a succession of lefts. Tunney slipped as Heeney swept right hook to the head, nearly falling. but came back with out fall and unhurt. Heeney slugged viciously at the champions head while Tunney planted solid left hooks to the body.
 FOURTH ROUND
 Sympathetic at Heeney's unex- pected showing, the crowd below ed the invader on as he whipped short left and right hooks to Genes chin. Tunney bounced two rights off Toms flinty chin that shot the challenger's head back. and a stinging left-hook gained the upper hand decisively for the first time in the fight. Gene land- ed three rights to Heeneys head with all his strength, that Tom felt. Tunney pressed two crush Ing rights to the heart. Blood was beginning to drip from Toms chin, but he tore savagely in and nailed the champion to the ropes with rocking volley to the head holding Tunney in the same posi- tion as when Dempsey floored him last fall. Tunney fought vainly to get out, but Heeney nailed him repeatedly to the head The bell broke up the onslaught.
 FIFTH ROUND
 Tunney smashed a right full un- der Heeney's heart but the chal- lenger seemed to like it and closed in to slug at the champions body. As Tom sturdily plowed into steady rain of punishment he slipped as Tunney hooked him in a clinch, but was up without

VETS WALLOP ELKS OUTFIT
Legion Nine Takes Lead Tn City League by Win
 ming Poor Contest

The American Legion ball team climbed into the leadership of the City League last evening and showed the Elks into the second cellar by defeating them 9 to 3 in another poor exhibition of baseball.
 For the first four or five in nings the game was close and fairly well played. but in the last two frames, with the Elks using a new pitcher and making lots of errors, no real baseball was played and the game became too one-sided to hold the interest of the fans.
 As usual the players did not go on the field for business until after 2 o'clock, making it neces- sary for the game to continue after the light became poor. The only features of the game were keaton's pitching, and the fairly heavy hitting of both outfits. Keaton famed seven, walked but one and allowed only five hits, although he smacked two batters. Two triples and three doubles gave few thrills to the con fest

MEXICO'S GOOD WILL ENVOY

All hail to Mexico's own Lindberg! Captain
Emilio Carranza has shown the stuff of which
ne is made. He successfully completed a flight
from Mexico city to Washington, where he was
the guest of President Coolidge. This flight was
q touching expression of good will and friend
ship from Mexico. 1t is said that Mexico is
more stirred this accomplishment of peace
than it has ever been over any othr event in it's
history
Lindberg's flight from Washington stirred
the imagination of the Mexicans, who onged
to have flier of their own emulate him. and
then Carranza applied to President Gales for
permission to return the good will flight of the
Lone Eagle. Money for the flight of Carranza
was raised by public subscription. Carranza's
flight was one of 2,175 miles, accomplished in
twenty hours.
The feats of Carranza in the air have been
many. Once, when he flew from Mexico City to
the border, his engine caught fire. He managed
10 put the fire out by sde-slpping and flying
through rain-cloud which fortunately came
his way. His presence of mind in emergencies
is remarkable. He has handled machines so
eXpertly to gasps of admiration from
other aviators.
Carranzas good will flight was a magnificent
achievement, bringing him rapidly to the front

Suddenly, out of the miracle that is called ra-

delegates for their favorite candidates. mo-

AS soon the candidate is picked, he has the
