IT'S a bite in the pants that
l. there's going to be a lot of
chewed-up bulldogs at 2 Saturday
afternoon, when the Butler Bull
dogs and the Drake Bulldogs of
Iowa, meet in Butler stadium to
settle gridiron differences and
find out which can hold on to a
pigskin the longest.
Both schools have the same
nicknameS and the same colors,
blue and white.
So either way, win, lose or
draw, a bulldog is going to be
"chawed" up.
Miss Ruth Apostol, 1866 Ruckle
street, says it won't be the Butler
bull 'purp." To prove it, she took
Miss Mary Harvey to the Vance
kennels, 3040 Baltimore avenue.
Borrowing the English bulls of
L. A. Mcnamara, 4349 Washing
ton boulevard, she "sicced" Patsy,
in the above photo, on Moon, in
the hands of Miss Harvey.
Patsy played waiting game
while Miss Harvey's imported
Moon Magic displayed a dash of
chew 'em up" that almost dragged
the miss who is backing Drake to
win into the fray.
Only the whistle of the referee,
owner of the dogs. prevented a
tangle of growing, biting dogs
and feminine dresses.

But. eventually, the man from

They talked of politics and

Individual duelS are being
waged in the American League
the home-run, race between Jimmy
Foxx and Babe Ruth, and the
pitching rivalry between Lefty
Grove and Vernon Gomez. Each
of the quartet delivered yesterday
Grove subdued Detroit easily,
8 to /, while Gomez barely stag
gered to the wire with an 8-to-7
decision over Cleveland. 1t was
Groves eleventh straight victory
and the ninth successive win for
Gomez. Each has won IL games,
while Grove has lost three to one
setback for Gomez.
Foxx clouted his twenty-third
homer of the season, while Ruth
got No. 81. The Babe is exactly
even with his record in 1927, his
record-breaking year.
Ruth's four-bagger, coupled
with two circuit clouts by Bill
Dickey and a spectacular fielding
play by Tony Lazzeri in the ninth,
saved the game for Gomez. The
goofy one famed six batters and
leads hurlers of both leagues with

In view of such q situation,
It would appear at best that the

most certainly rests between
Ahearn and Holman and to-

Mr.. Holman is press agenting

that can be said is that he is
the farmers friend. Why, there
Tore, doesn't he get a job as
