TOPROBLEM
BY GARRETT WATERS


1t will be up to the youngsters
to produce this year, officials Of
the Washington Griffmen say in
looking at the approaching sea-
son at this early stage.
Yes sir a great deal of de-
pendence will be placed in them
for the teams bid for a title.
And that means not only will
it be up to Carl Fischer and
Bobby Burke the two more ex-
perienced left-handers, but Monte
Weaver, the big Baltimore hurler;
Frank Ragland and Lefty Lynn
Griffith, the Chattanooga pros
pect, and Bob Friedrichs, another
Joe Engel performer, of whom
much is expected this season re-
gardless of past records.
General Alvin Crowder, big
Fred Marberry and Lefty Lloyd
Brown will, of course, make up
the first string array Of the
team. This leaves it up to the
youngsters named above to "fill
in" or balance the staff to make
it a winner.
Therefore plenty of work is be-
fore the youngsters the minute
they set foot on the Biloxi
(Miss.) training base come Feb
ruary %.
Aid Is Seen
Just as matter of record,
these youngsters along with Mar
berry and Crowder Brown being
already at BiloxD are due to de-
part for the training base Sat
urday either from Washington
or from their homes. The list
also includes Johnny Boyle, the
Villanova aspect; Mike De-
laney, the Youngstown hurler,
and Bud Thomas. local sand
lotter.
"The Washington club feels
that the combined efforts Of
the youngsters will more than
make up for the absences and
losses, if any, of the pair Of
hurIers traded to the Chicago
White SOx recently, namely,
Bump HadIey and Sam JONES'"
Secretary Eddie Eynon speak
ing and continuing:
Hence, the reason so much
dependence is to be placed on
the youngsters this year. Both
Griff and johnson See plenty
of aid coming from them and
they ought to know as both
were pitchers formerly and
should be able to tell what sort
of promise is possessed in the
number of men under contract.
"Of course it's up to Fischer,
Burke, Weaver. RagIand and
the rest of 'em to produce. /
think they will as none of them
are totally without experience,
with the exceptions of Boyle,
Delaney and Thomas, three
truly green prospects. Still,
this trio may show something,
who knows?
Just another interesting hunk
of analysis by Secretary Eynon
whose hopes are as high for a
Washington championship this
year as are the hopes of his col"
leagues, Griff and johnson.

The Dempsey-LevinSky fight

By WILLIAM l.. COLLINS
CHICAGO, Feb. 18.-Auto'
graphs, banquets, handshaking,
speeches, fan mail-Jack Demp-
sey is more popular than when
he held the title. The ManaSSa
Mauler fights King Levinsky here
tonight in the Chicago Stadium,
with $4,000 expected to attend.
Men, women, kids, young and
old, crowd the gym to see him
work out, stand around the hotel
lobby to catch a glimpse Of him,
follow him down the street.
"Yes," Dempsey told Interna-
tional News Service today, "the
fans still seem to be strong for
me-"
Strong for him-they'd mob
him if it weren't for his faithful
shadow, Jerry the Greek.
"ThiS comeback business is
tough grind" Jack said, "but it
helps a lot when your friends
are pulling for you.
Maybe his legs aren't what they
were when he won the title from
Willard at Toledo.
Fans Believe In Him
Perhaps the punch that sent
the giant Firpo sprawling has
gone.
Maybe it's true that a champ
can't come back. But Dempsey
has already come back as far as
the fans are concerned.
"It's Kind of tough, some
times, when I'm tired and feel
mean," lack said. "But where
would if it weren't for my
friends? It's part of the game.
And besides that, / like Shem."
"T'm not as good as waS,"
he frankly admitted. "If were

they weren't, they wouldn't be in
there.

R.R. DELONG INJURED

Auctioneer r. r. DeLong was
quite seriously injured last Satur-
day afternoon, when he was
kicked by yearling colt. Ray was
selling horses at Huxley, and was
haltering the colt for a farmer
when the accident happened. An
other colt, which two other men
were trying to halter got away
and ran into the alley where Ray
was working. A long rope dragged
around the feet of his colt and it
became excited. Ray tried to
avoid the blow which he knew was
coming so he swung around and
the colt kicked him in both legs
just behind the knees. Now Ray is
walking with the aid of a cane.
The accident was quite painful and
the fact that Ray was close to the
colt saved him from having both
legs broken instead of just badly
bruised.

Slow Drivers Caused =
Many Narrow Escapes
Patrol Officers Points Out Risks of
Slow Driving When Traffic
Is Heavy

Slow drivers, if not actually caus-
ing accidents, furnished the set
tings for many narrow escapes on
state trunk highways over the re-
cent holiday period, according to a
state highway bulletin.
Patrolmen reported many instan-
ces, particularly on trunk highways
nearer the larger cities and towns,
of lines of cars being held back
by one car moving slowly and traf-
fic in the opposite direction being
too heavy to permit of passing.
The narrow escapes occurred, &C
cording to Captain George Kuch of
the state highway patrol, when an
impatient motorists endeavored =. to
pass the slow moving car, found the
opposing line too close, attempted
to drop into his own line, and found
that another car had moved up be-
hind the slow moving one. 1t then
became a case of his crowding
back into the line from which he
had turned out, and running the
risk of being side-swiped, or squeeze
between the slow moving car and
the cars coming toward him.
Only the fact that the majority
Of motorists evidenced commend
able appreciation of the need of ex-
ira care where such situations pre-
sented themselves kept the accident
score from being worse than 1t was
patrolmen reported.
Anyone going out for a short,
slow drive at a time when an unus-
ually large number of cars are
taking to the highways on long
trips will unquestionably be further

Of others, Captain Kuch is quoted
as stating, by keeping off Of the

Mothers Warned Against
Pills for Children
Children Headaches Sign Trouble
Should Not Be DOped Say
Physicians.

St. Paul, --Minnesota-Normal
children do not have headaches.
But if they do as they sometimes
will in spite of the best of care
the first thought should be what
is causing the headache and not
can it be relieved by headache
pill.
This is the warning child specia-
lists of the Minnesota State Medi-
cal Association issued today to
parents who are addicted to the
use of such drugs as aspirin for
every discomfort.
Doping headaches with pills is
bad business, says this bulletin.
First, it takes the place of a thor
ough examination to find out the
cause of the headache and prevent
it's recurrence. Second, it tends to
form a harmful habit.
The principle applies to adults
as we'll as to children, the doctors
say But it is a particularly serious
matter for children. The head
aches of children are a warning
that something is wrong. This
warning should not be disregard
ed"
Headache in children may be
the first symptom of many ill
nesses, including the common re-
spiratory diseases of childhood,
poliomyelitis, meningitis in fact
all of the grave illnesses may be-
gin this way. They may be due to
fatigue and under nourishment, to
serious disorders and to eyestrain.
Chronic recurring headaches as
ISOLATED with nausea and vomiting
often indicate some such serious
condition as brain tumor, not in
frequently found in childhood.
Any of these conditions need
medical attention not just a dose
of somthing to stop the pain. They
need, first of all an, examination
by a physician to find the cause
and then a proper adjustment of
the condition at fault. A complete
reorganization of the child's life,
his school schedule, or his diet, to
remove strain may be necessary
to bring him up to par.
The habit of indiscriminately
giving drugs of the salicylate Or
any other group on small provo
cation and without consulting, a
physician is growing, says the bull
letin. AS result children are be-
ing dangerously over dosed and
the malady for which the drug is
given neglected" II
No drug is perfectly safe to take
the physicians conclude. In the
hands of physician aspirin is Of
ten very useful in the treatment of
children. It is not a remedy for
all ills.
