LARKSPUR
THROUGH

CHICAGO, July 24.-Blue
Larkspur's ambitious squirt to
overtake Zev and become the
highest money winning horse in
history appeared doomed to
failure today when it was learned
that his breakdown yesterday
may force the famous 4-year-oid
from the turf forever.
In the last serious workout
in preparation for Saturdays
$4,000 added handicap race
the son of Black Servant and
Blossom Time pulled a tendon
in the weak right fOreleg yes
terday. Although Blue Parks
pur walked off the track
without a limp, the leg began
to swell seriously a half hour
after he had reached the
stall.
Veterinarians, after examining
the leg, agreed that he would
not run again this season and
perhaps never again.
Blue Larkspur, the property OF
Col, E. R. Bradley, has won
$272, 900 and was the victor In
most of the famous stakes run IN
America for the past three sea-
sons.

Players differ in physique and
strength. Fellows like Whitley
witt and Joe Dugan of the Old
Yankees, fellows like Ira Flag
stead and chaps Of that type play
themselves out and can't stand
the long grind. They need rest.
And you'll find that type player
on every club in. both leagues.
Other chaps of sturdier build
and better physique on the other
hand are likely to start off
slowly at the beginning OF the
season and then suddenly round
into shape when the hot weather
comes and the long sum m e r
grind gets underway. Dusty
Cooke of the Yankees is that
sort. Dusty is playing better ball
now than he has at any time
this season, and he should con-
tihue to play well right 70 the
end.
The Athletics, during the past
two weeks, have increased their
lead for the pennant. And the
answer is stamina. Cochrane,
Simmons, Miller and Foxx and
the rest are the type of men
who can thrive on hard going
and hot steady work. It isn't
any matter of mental poise or
anything like that. It isn't q
question of fighting spirit or
morale either. It's simply an
open and shut physical PROPOSE
tion. Some fellows have it and
some haven't-and In every close
race, every year, you'll find the
pennant going to the team physi-
cally constituted to carry on
through dog days without the
heat and constant play sapping
too much of their ability and
their enthusiasm.

SLUMP
BLAMED ON
WEATHER
BY BABE RUTH

September sees the coming Of ter
aific heat and dry weather-WeeKs
that go by after the other with
out let-up in temperature and
without a single rainy spell to
soften the job of playing day after
day.
Pitchers are the boys who begin
to feel it first-but as the hot
weather continues the others are
affected, too. Players who may
lack strength or have some little
weakness that went unnoticed at
the first of the season, find that
weakness cropping out when the
hot days come.
Hitters lose just a bit Of
their wallOping power, and q
little of that keenness Of eye
that they had earlier. Field
ers slow up just a half stride,
and instead of taking their
work easily and in stride they
find they have to bear down
more and more.
You know playing through a
big league schedule isn't easy,
despite the fact that a lot of peo-
pie think it's fun. Players who
can go like house afire during
the first half of the season are
likely to find their strength gone
and the fire gone out of their
play by the time dog days come
around. And that's where the
teams. with the real class begin
to pull away from the others.
The work of the Washington
Griffmen on this present road
trip has been a case in point.
Right UP at the top all season
long, the Griffs just now are be.
ginning to feel the strain and
the physical hardship of contin-
ued play. g
You can't put your finger on
any one thing and say heres
the cause of WaShington's s
slump" The pitching continues
fairly good. The fielding, so far
as errors are concerned, IS just
as steady as ever. The hitting
continues average. But-ano
here's the thing. The heat ana
the long grind has taken just a
little bit out of the pitchers; the
fielders have found themselves
lust a half stride slower; the MT
ters have discovered their arms no
longer hold the power to drive the
bali for the distances they were
driving it earlier in the season
And so they lose games that a
month ago they would have won.

enjoyed spectacular run on the road and Broadway is recordeo perfectly by the players. s
 Director Curtiz makes discreet use of his genius for giving scenes at different camera angles, and in bringing out the divergent angles of thought. The story is that or two Wall Street financiers, a fatn-. CT and son, known as the "gamn- ling EfnerSons." The son over steps the law in loaning money, and is caught in his own net, and on the verge of Government m vestigation. The prosecutor is mar ried to his former sweetheart, who trades upon her husbands love TOT her, to cause him to free young Emerson from the charge of dis- honesty.
 H. B. Warner, as the prosecutor gives a performance of suotlety and restraint. Lois Wilson is vivid and convincing. Robards gives a manly portrayal of the hot-headed youth, while the veteran George Fawcett, is equal to his reputation as tf elder Emercon. But to John ny Arthur, as the dishonest weak ling clerk, the laurels must be giv- en for a character bit, of moWne and tragic authenticity. -

"GIRL ON THE BARGE ~..
 AT PALACE TONIGHT

Universal's The Girl on, the Barge" which opened yesterday at the Palace theatre, is a photoplay )f unusual charm. F
 /. It has everything that makes an outstanding picture-beautiful na- ural locale, a powerful story and capable cast all under inspired lirection.
 Jean Hersholt, the beloved char ,cter star, has the leading role, nto which he puts all his ability bring out of what might be an ordinary villain, the character of mean-tempered old man who is nore to be pitied than censured. Only Hersholt could have made Q ympathetic character out of what would have been a conventional ole in less expert hands. ~f
 Sally O'Neil gives a spirited per- 'ormance in the title role. She is ,plendid as the ignorant little girl who has never been on land, who las spent her life on a coal barge plying between New York and Buf- falo. This is one of the biggest roles she has ever had and she acquits herself with high honors.
 To Malcolm MacGregor also goes histrionic honors and praise for ar admirable and natural portraya )f tug pilot.
 The story is from one of Rupert Hughes most popular short stories

ELLISPoRT

What fine days these are to stay
near the fireside or in the comfortable
basement and do all kinds of odd Jobs
catch up the loose ends, as 1t were,
before the regular spring work begins!
In Ellisport, as In many other places,
we are experiencing the great incon-
venience Of having no response when
we turn on our water faucets. WASH
boilers, tubs on wheelbarrows, and such
like are brought into use Onto work,
not into play and we meet many as
VIC go with our various receptacles,
some for several blocks, to and from
the one outside faucet attached to an
unfrozen main. 1t reminds us OF
Bible times when many met at the
we'll. Neighbors were exceedingly kind
to share watr as long as they had a
supply, but now we nearly all go to a
common source, and thankful we are
that this is available for chickens and
birds must drink as we'll as people.
Some Of us can remember when we
used to carry water from q barrel
sunk into hillside spring across the
road from the Garvin store. Crate
full indeed we should be for the many
conveniences we have on the Island:
electric light and power, laundryman,
milk man, daily needs man, running
water in our homes, good general
merchandise store, an incoming and
outgoing mail twice day, daily
papers delivered 20 our doors, bus to
the ferry not far away, delicious clans
on the beach, salmon and other
varieties of edible fish in the sound
o, that all people In the world were as
comfortably situated and as well pro-
vided for as we are! Grateful we are
that we have so many kind neighbors
strong, willing young men who see
to it that the aged and shutins lack
not for fuel and water in their homes
these cold days. Altruism is trait
that we all may cultivate. Most Of
us too have radios in our homes and
these keep us in touch with import
ant current events, even in far off
London, and bring us much that is
good to ennoble and cheer. Thank
full we are that radio reception on the
Island Is so perfect.
