ing over the return OF George
Bride. so long their hero, to the
diamond as coach and assistant
manager to Walter Johnson at
Newark In the international League.
They are already talking of the
advisabiIity of having the Newark
club come here for an exhibition
game with the Griffs during the
1928 season, with Johnson pitching
his first game against the club
with which he toiled so faithfully
for more than twenty years. Nc.
Bride would be on the coaching
lines.
His brilliant fielding for Kansas
City in 1907 caused McBride's sale
on September to the Washington
club. He had had brief trials with
Pittsburgh and St. Louis in the
National League In 1905 and 1905,
but had slipped back because OF
light hitting.
With Washington Mcbride
quickly made the grade rs q
fielder and, though always q
happy faculty Of delivering
many of his hits when most
+ needed. His batting average
was generally around 800 dur
ing his best years.
Mcbride was losing much Of his
speed in 1913 and the next year
saw Jimmy O'Neil playing in the
shortfield so long graced by the
veteran. Mcbride was retained as
utility man and coach and in 1921
became manager. Clark Griffith re.
firing to become president.
During pre- game practice in mid.
season at the Griffith Stadium,
Mcbride was felled by a thrown
bali from the outfield His nervous
system received a sereve shock and
his career as a Washington man.

If the game altogether in 1922.
Ty Cobb signed Mcbride ~
coach and assistant manager I'm
1923 and he remained with the
Detroit club for four years.
When Cobb gave way to George
Moriarity, Mcbride was left
out in the cold. He spent last
summer attending to his bust
ness in Milwaukee and will un-
dOubtedIy be glad to climb into
his uniform again when the
spring breeZes blow.
Mcbride was known as one OF
the brainiest infielders ever in the
Zig show and had sterling qualities

indicates you are thinking too
much about 1t while executing
your shots. Think things out
when you are not playing. Try
things out in practice. Then,
while playing, just keep in mind
the old fundamentals: Look at
the ball, keep the head still, be
smooth--and hit it. Often you
will find that simple rule a
great cure-all for golf troubles.
And when you worry about a

apt to forget to look 1T the ball

is: Simplify it. Worrying about

Completing his complicated back
flip. he came up on his knees and
arose with marked reluctance at
the count Of eight. He was punch
silly then; he stayed that way for
the next six rounds. And the first
was far from over yet.
Al minute later. he was down
again for the count Of nine from

want to say now that Loughran Is

But Leo Is no pincushion him

third and fourth, concluding the
latter with q right over the heart
that made Ioughran turn green
with pain. He sat down in his
corner with painful solicitude and
it looked at this point as though
Lomslti's title challenge simply
couldn't miss.
1t not only could. &c did. For
IOughran, himself again for the
first time since the start Of
the fight, suddenly discovered

these didn't land, you ought to sit
right down this minute and send q
night letter to Tommy Loughran
asking for specific information on
the subject. In the tenth they not
only landed but they didn't stop
until the bell made them, and
Loughran again seemed to be in 4

However, he probably was saving

Weidman and emerged the victors
by ~ naples.
In the singles Webb defeated
Fischer by seven pins. an extra
game being necessary to decide the
winner. Five games in each event
had been contested at Convention
Hall. Fischer picked up a S5.pin
advantage won by Webb in the
first set and at the end OF the tenth
and last scheduled game was tied
Ollie showed real class to win the
roll.off but his opponent was far
from Inundated. He was game
clean through. There was glory
enough for him when he overlook
his opponent. 1t was splendid Of
Webb to make a quick comeback.
The thrill of the battle, however,
was the shooting in the doubles Of
Paul Harrison, a lad who barely
has begun to shave. Harrison rolled
422 for his first three games and for
the five totaled 666, one Of the high
est five-game sets ever achieved
here.
The record is held by Barney
Spinella, who shot 7O8 against
Convention Hall last season.
Eleven years ago, John l..
Vaeth, one Of the greatest
duckpin bOwlerS of all time,
carved . set Of 682 i'm an inter-
alley doubles match, paired with
Tom Mayhem against Eddie
HOwser and Ray Chaplin, Of the
old Palace. Vaeth and May
hew represented the Grand
Central.
This season. George Lang, of the
Cashmyer All.Etars. Of Gainesville,
Nd, registered 668 against the
King Pins. A couple of seasons
back Arthur Urban, rolling with
Lafayette Lodge against the
Joseph Phillips Company team,
totalled 674.
Probably the greatest five-game
performance was that Of Vaeth. His
682-score was made with the hated
A. C. B. A. ball and pin. The ball
was AZ inches In diameter. a
quarter of an inch smaller than
the ball now in use, and the pin
was smaller than the maple of
this period.
BoWlers in general We're so ex.
asperated with the bed breaks and
consequent low scores that alley
proprtetors found 1t necessary to
throw out A G. B. A. balls and
naples and bring back the old
game. now ruling. Yet Wealth, with
remarkably accurate shooting, was
able to average 1897 for 21 games
rolled in sets OF three and five
games on successive days. His $50
score was made during this streak.

look for him to remember both

The drama OF the occasion was
reserved for the first round but
the lid was off on action all the

first few minutes Of play, turn com
pIetely over on his head from the

From Iowa City. Iowa, comes in
formation that individuals included IN
the Iowa Women's Christian Temperance
Union have during the last year crushed
no fewer than $1,000 cigarette stubs,
Members have apparently kept ac-
curate tabulations of their heeling work
and reported this grand total with pride
at the annual convention which is just
over
It is not known definitely what pro-
portion of these stubs were burning and
thus ready to be enjoyed by the first
casual down -looker, and what part had
been already extinguished. A half of a
fag which has suffered pressure between
concrete and a good robust Iowa heel is
likely to prove a most unsatisfactory
smoke to him who tenderly attempts to
renew its original cylindrical shape.
Doubtless the cause Of prohibition of
tobacco has been furthered by this pedal
pursuit of the evil, but it is not unlikely
that the cause of conservation and OF
reforestation has been far more greatly
benefited. True, Iowa is not widely
forested State, but Iowans so prosper
through the fertility of their prairies
that eventually they go almost every
where. Once a cigarette crusher, always
cigarette crusher. Without doubt
many devastating fires have already
been nipped in the bud by this crush
ing campaign, while this habit, care
fully adhered to, should work a won-
drous good to the public domain and
to private property alike. In fact, the
whole United States would be better off
if every one made it practice to step
firmly and lingeringly on butts and
stubs lighted or thought to be unlighted.
The Iowa w. C. T. U. not only may
have saved many persons from smokers
graves, but may yet save to its beloved
country and to other lands thousands
of beautiful and valuable acres.
