Werber hits second as gen.
eral rule in the Red Sox line up,
while Owen hits down in the or
der, following batters of the
power of Greenberg, Rogell and
Goslin. He has better opportu-
nifty to drive in runs. Higgins,
too, is in a better spot to knock
runs over the plate.
Leads In Hits
Werber, however, has made
more hits than Owen or Higgins,
and it isn't because of the fact
he gets his blows with "two out
and nobody on base" Werber
has made more doubles than
either Owen or Higgins, accord
ing to the last semi-official fig
ures the writer saw. He holds his
own in triples, but Higgins with
shorter fences for a target than
Werber has, holds a lead in home
runs. At stealing bases, Weroer
stands supreme, and he doesn't
run for the sake of running.
Bill has a keen appreciation Of
the strategic value of the stolen
base and, when it will lead to a
needed run, he has a way OF
getting a jump on a pitcher and
fairly flying to second or third.
Like George Moriarty, Werber
agrees that third base is easier
to steal than second. Ty Cobb
and John McGraw always con-
tended the same thing.
The story of Bill Werber, how
ever, is not one Of figures and
great deeds on the field. To be
sure, you have to incorporate fig

ARMY POL0ISTS
PLAY RAGGED
IN CAME

Members of the Mexican army
polo team, scheduled to clash in
the near future with a team
representing the United States
Army, today are wondering if the
best U. S. combination was in
yesterdays game, which wit
messed the defeat of the U. S.
Army outfit by a pickup COM
bination representing the War
Department.
The latter team outscored -
to 7, won the game because of a
7 goal handicap, but proved that
the big U. S. Army team is far
from impregnable.
Probably, the absence of Major
C. C. Smith, Army's powerful
back, had something to do with
the comparatively poor play of
the Americans, but the Mexicans
in the roles of spectators, seemed
to feel that even without the bril-
liant Smith, the "big" team
should have done better.
Some who witnesses yesterdays
game, played in West Potomac
Park. say that the Army team
did not do it's best, preferring to
look rather ragged in this parti-
cular contest, for the especial
benefit of the visiting MeXicans.
The same War Department
team which met the U. S. Army
combination yesterday will face
the Mexican army team tomor-
row afternoon on the West Po-
tomac Park sod. It will be the

Mexicans who have defeated the

Semifinal bout, making his second
appearance here in that capacity

The young gentleman in ques-

The question before the house,
which is variouSly estimated any

be can Marty take all that the
Jersey Jolter delivers for seven
or eight rounds (when Thunder
ing Tony begins to tire badly
according to previous fights here)
and then vigorously pat the
roly-poly Rocker a sufficient num-
ber of times in the remaining

In brief, the bill provides for m

NOW Is THE TIME TO LAY IN A
SUPPLY OF FOOL PROOF COUGH
MEDICINE

MEDkCANE
It is with considerable reluctance
that I offer this advice at this time. I
know a lot Of casual readers will take
1t as acquiescence on my part to the
false and unhealthful assumption that
cold weather or dampness or sudden
change has something to do with
coughs and colds" Let every reader
understand clearly that do not abate
one jot or little from the teaching that
such natural atmospheric conditions
have nothing to do with respiratory
disease. 1t should be easy to prove
scientifically or experimentally that
cold causes or predisposes to some
such illness, If there is any founda-
ton for the quaint belief. But some
how the scientific investigators who
try to prove it invariably fail to get
the evidence they seek.
What I call "cri'' Is by no means
what people commonly call "colds."
"Cri' is simply tentative name for
any acute illness or indisposition
which has the ordinary characteristics
OF one Of the common respiratory in
fections; an honest name to give your
ailment until a definite diagnosis can
be made, and the trouble duly tick
eted diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles,
coryza, tonsillitis, septic sore throat,
or what have you. BY calling it "cri"
pending the development Of the illness
or the making Of q diagnosis, we give
fair warning to everybody that the
trouble Is probably communicable. On
the other hand. II you insist on
calling it cold" you merely reserve
the right to pepper every ignorant or
trusting soul who happens to come
within your conversational spray range
in the early stage Of the illness. Re-
member, 1t Is in the early stage, the
stage Of onset, before the victim is III
enough to give up and take to bed,
that such diseases as measles, infan-
tile paralysis, scarlet fever, epidemic
meningitis are most communicable.
Any one who has cough Of long
standing and fools with cough medi-
cine instead of procuring proper medi-
cal treatment for the condition re-
sponsible for the cough, Is likely to
have the cough long time, probably
would not be happy without it any
way.
Ignorant and ill-advised persons
often resort to cough medicine contain
ing one or another narcotic or "seda-
tive ingredient, when they have a
cough from some acute illness or in
disposition. believe this foolish prac-
tice IS accountable for not q few cases
Of pneumonia or serious bronchitis
where, had the misguided victim not
taken to benumbing the impulse to
cough, the illness would have been
only mild one.
Here is q fool-proof homemade
cough medicine which any adult, child
or infant may take without harm
and often with benefit, in any illness
in which there Is cough:
Steep for an hour or less . table
spoonful of whole flaxseeds In . pint
Of water. Then strain, and add one
ounce Of citrate Of soda Sodium
citrate, the juice Of . lemon. = drop
or two Of peppermint for flavor, and
one ounce of glycerine. II desired the
medicine may be further sweetened
with sugar. Dose, for adults table
spoonful, for infants q teaspoonful,
every two hours.
