NcAfee Faces
Johnson in
Bi-Game
By GARRETT WATERS

Pitcher Bill McAfee, recently
acquired by the Griffs, was eX-
pected to pitch for the 1882 Griff-
men today in the Bicentennial
game against the 1924 champion
Griff team.
It might be said that today's
contest is an unusually good spot
to look over McAfee. All because
there's nothing really at stake
and a good showing by the new
pitcher will help solve, for the
time being, Manager Johnson's
pitching problem involving his
1882 Griffs.
Those Memories
This Bicentennial game, by the
way, brings back many memo
ries of that year of years the
Griffs experienced during 1924.
Walter johnson assumes the
mound while Muddy Ruel, his
1924 battery mate, is behind
the bat.
Many old-timers were expected
in the stands. One, who has al
ready signified his intention of be-
ing on hand, is Pop" Edwards
70 years young, who saw Walter
johnson pitch his first game way
back in 1907.
Edwards was a noted athlete in
Washington college circles once.
Perhaps you would like to re-
view the box score of the last
and deciding game of the 1924
worlds series. 1t is herewith re-
printed for your enlightenment.

Asked Saturday how he felt

YankS Getting Pitching
Without saying much more, the
Yanks are where they are today
because of the great pitching
they have received all during the
campaign. Charley Ruffing gave
an excellent example of this by
his work Saturday, when he held
Manager JohnSon's men to three
hits while his own homer in the
tenth inning won for his team,

Then Vernon Gomezs perform

Yes sir, the Yanks have GER

for after all it's pitching that

The GriffS made a dying effort

GRID COMPL
BEGINS WORK
ON BUG"
By HARRY COSTELLO

WV AAAO
There is no complex quite so
alarming as the football complex.
In our day we have seen all
sorts and kinds of football COM
plexes. the workings of COM
ponents ideas of every variety and
the accompanying emotional
tones, sometimes pleasant, some
times painful, sometimes intense,
and sometimes comparatively
weak.
Now that the necessary stimu-
Ius has occurred, the football
complex will Immediately tend to
exert it's effect upon the con-
sciousness of the football nut"
or bug" The effect consists
normally in the introduction into
consciousness of ideas, emotions
and trains of activities belonging
to the football complex.
Oft the ideas, statements, argu-
ments, premises, evidences, ETC.,
presented to the individual foot
ball bug" those which are in
harmony with his own complex
are reinforced, whereas those not
so in harmony tend to be in
hibited and to lose their cogency.
Different Mode
AS all should know, the mode
of thought produced in this man
ner by the activity of the football
complex is quite different from
that occurring in genuine logical
thinking.
In the latter case each step
is the logical sequence of the
preceding steps, evidence is i'm
partially weighed and the prob
ability of various solutions is
dispassionately considered. Such
genuine logical thinking is com
paratively rare; in most cases
the football complex bias is only
too obvious.
If by any chance one is foolish
enough to argue with a football
bug he shall find that the foot
ball complex of the bug will re-
inforce in the bugs mind those
arguments which support the
view of his favorite college or
of himself as to how the game
should be played. His complex
will infallibly prevent him from
realizing the force of the argu
ments propounded by the oppo
Sition.
Imagines Things
Often, the football bug. him
self, is unaware of this meChan-
ism in his mind. He fondly imag-
ines that his opinion is formed
solely by the logical pros and
cons of the football matter be-
fore him. However. not only is
his thinking determined by his
complex, but he believes his
thoughts to be the result of
causes which are in reality insult
ficient and illusory, This process
of self deception. in which the
football bug conceals the real
foundation of his thought by a
series of adventitious props, is
termed "rationization."
Football bugs have a way of
rationalizing their every thought
connected with their football
complex.
All the foregoing is in answer
to a request from a reader to
briefly anaEse a football bug.

COUNTY EXTENSION
WORK FUNDS ARE
COMING IN SLOW

According to the county agents Of
flee at Hinckley, only three of the
communities are yet to report whether
they will be able to raise the funds
for carrying on All club in Pine
county for 1882. Some have reported
that it is impossible to raise any
money, but most of them have given
favorable reports. Some of the larg-
est quotas have been met and some
have not, according to extension Of
ficials who met at the county agents
office Monday.
No statement can be made definite
ly whether the work can be carried
on or not until the communities that
have not reported do so. 1t was felt
though that those left to report would
make favorable reports and that the
work would continue. However, the
service would have to be curtailed in
some ways.
Because of the severe weather of
last week some men reported that
they would like to have few more
days to report and this desire was
granted them. Final decision of dis
continuance of the work will be made
the last of this week unless favorable
reports are gathered at that time, of
ficials stated.

About IS people attended a tax

voted in favor of having the gas tax
