Inc SnuC worked WOnQerS, as
pftimes shifts will, and before the
Griffs knew it they had one OF
their most gratifying victories un
der their belts since the season
began.
Because Of it's success, Cronir
said today it would be used
throughout the Chicago series
here, meaning that Cecil Travis
will continue as the cleanup bat
ter, Johnny Stone will stay as bats
man No. 5, Manager Joe will hit
sixth, and Fred Schultz will bat
seventh.
No Lefties to Face
Right here, listen to a few wise
words from Cronin:
"'I can well afford to have the
lineup arranged in this manner
against the Sox as they've no
left-handed pitchers to throw at
us. That was one Of my chief
ideas for employing such an or
der yeSterd day. knew the
Browns didn't have anybody but
right-handerS to pitch, and /
figured I'd send every left
hended hitter available into &C.
tiOn and all in a row.
OF course, this arrangement will
be changed again when the Griffs
hit New York next week. The
Yanks will send their two lefties,
Vernon Gomez and Russell Van
Alta, to the mound.
White SOx Tough
Just what the order will be,
Cronin hasn't decided today, but
in all probability he'll go back to
the old arrangement Of Myer,
KuheI, Manush, himself, Schultz,
Stone or Harris, Travis, the
catcher and pitcher.
Now, getting to current affairs,
the GriffS hoped to make amends
in this Chicago series for the
losses they suffered at the hands
Of the Browns.
They realized, however, that
White Sox, like other Western
clubs, have been playing gre a
ball during the last fortnight, and
whatever victories are gained will
be hardearned.

I NEW YORK, May 26.-You
can't disqualify a fellow for try
ing, even when it costs him a
million dollars. And further
more, Mr.. Thomas A. Yawkey,
Of the Boston Red Sox, will get
there yet. Mr.. Yawkey yester-
day tossed a mere matter of
$25 900 and a couple Of garden
variety ball players, into the
baseball kitty to wean Wesley
Ferrell away from the Cleveland
Indians.
Not that Ferrell and the In.
dams had been exactly what
you might call close together.
No closer, at any rate, than the
distance between Cleveland,
Ohio, and Guilford, N. c.,
where Comrade Ferrell had dug
himself in for a stubborn hold
out that promised to last all
summer. But theoretically he
had been a member Of the
Tribe until Mr.. Yawkey came

dangling.

Mr.. Alva Bradley, who owns

Yawkey drop anchor in the
Forest City.
Mr.. Evans was right. Before
Tom could get out of town, they
had sold him Ferrell and a Por-
ter-firSt name Dick-to carry
Ferrells bags.
Buys Baseball Names
In all the history of baseball
there probably never has been a
more persistent purchaser of
baseball names as this same
pleasant and determined young
Mr.. Yawkey. I must say names.
since tbs far most of them have
not turned out to be players for
his team.
- Can you imagine a team with
q pitching staff with Lefty
Grove, "Rube'' Walberg and Fer
rell on it? That is, with them
as they were three years ago,
and not one of them is really a
veteran.
Why they would have blown
their way through the American
League like a Kansas cyclone
breezing through the costume of

up in Boston have been exceed.

to give them a winner. It be-

So with Grove regaining-and

the Red Sox are not wholly out
of it, in spite Of being sixth at
this writing.
Among other interesting side
lights on the purchase of Fer
rell is the reuniting Of the star
battery of the Guilford nine Of
1921. That battery, believe it or
not, won the Guilford county
championship that year by beat
ing some smart-alecs from Glen
wood, N. c., 2 to l.
The pitcher was Wesley and
the catcher was Rick Ferrell,
his brother, now the star
catcher of the Sox and possibly
the best backstop in the A. L.

others Ferrell0
AS a matter of fact, there
were five Ferrell brothers on
that Guilford team. In addition
to the battery. George played
the outfield, Marvin coached
and Ewell, now dead, was the
bat boy.
One of the things in favor
of Ferrell's comeback, I think,
is that he will have the
steadier "Rick" to catch,

DEATH OF NINE. cURIE

Few women have attained excep-
tional eminence in the scientific world,
particularly in the field of original re-
search. An amazing exception was Marie
Sklodowska Curie, co-discoverer of radium,
who died in France few days ago, at the
age &C., She was unquestionably the great
est woman chemist and physicist who ever
lived
Nine Curie was born in Warsaw, Po-
land, and was pupil of Pierre Curie in
Paris before their marriage In 1898,
while experimenting with radioactive sub
stances in their laboratory they discovered
and isolated the powerful element to which
they gave the name of radinm. For this
epochal discovery the Curies were awarded
the Nobel prize in physics in 1908. For
achievements in chemistry Mime. Curie was
again given the Nobel prize in 1911.
Her husband was killed in an acct
dent in 1906, after which she succeeded
him as chief professor of physics in the
University of Paris. She visited America
a few years ago and was acclaimed by
scientists and the public.
During her years Of experimenting
with radium, Nine. Curie, like numbers of
others who have worked with this power
full and dangerous substance, suffered
from its effects, which contributed to the
illness which caused her death.
Thus she joins that noble band of
martyrs who have sacrificed themselves
for the benefit of humanity.

cENsoRsHIP's BLACK SHADOW
editor & Publisher)

IF you believe in the right of man to
read and think and develop his world by
process of reason, the story our Geneva
couraging He finds that "a per cent of
the total population of Europe is today
living in the darkness of censorship. In
ten European countries more than three
hundred millions are under government
dictation as to what they shall read and be-
lieve.
Sixty millions more are now under
partial censorship. Less than 26 per cent
of the population enjoys anything like per-
sonal liberty and expression of conscience.
In the whole civilized world, if that is not
too loose a term to be comprehensive, nine
tenths of the people live under some form
of censorship, ranging down to the ugly
nuzzling of nations by Hitler and Mus
solini. The United States, as we proudly
know, possesses the highest degree of in
tellectual freedom of any nation.
Is it any wonder that Europe seethes
with war spirit? Fear is a concomitant of
ignorance and uncertainty Superstitious
hate grows rank and poisonous in darkness,
turning into docile cannon fodder. The
"best minds" of Europe, responsible in
large part for the World War tragedy, con-
tinue their grip on governments by reason
of insolent disregard of the human right to
know what is happening in the great
world.
What will be the end of this desperate
and almost universal restraint upon
thought and action? How long can the i'm
position continue without violent re-
actions? Is it leading on to another holo-
caust calculated to rob another generation
of its best blood, devastate its lands and set
bewildered civilization back into the gloom
of medievaIism?

FIRST ALL-RUBBER
SEPARATOR ADDS
BATTERY POWER
CONSIDERED GREAT AID.
VANcEMENT IN INDUSTRY;
USED IN FIREsToNR EXTRA
POWER BATTERY

The first battery separator
made exclusively of rubber is now
in production in the Firestone Bat
terry Factories at Akron, Ohio and
Los Angeles, California. 1t is con-
sidered as, great an advancement
in batteries as the balloon tire was
in the tire industry, for it is not
affected by heat, cold or acid, and
yet so porous it increases power
flow. 1t is used in the Firestone
Extra Power Battery.
/ The all-rubber separators are
made up of millions of tiny balls
of rubber joined together in such
Ia way as to give extreme poros;ty,
allowing quick flow of power. They
have much longer life under adj
verse conditions-in fact, they
last the life of the battery. Sep
.arators of rubber have long been
the goal of the battery industry.
IA number of separators have been
brought out combining rubber
with fiber, wood and rubber. ETC.,
and though some obtained long
life, they were considerably less
porous and thus gave less starting
power, especially in cold weather.
| The battery of today must have
greatly increased power. Il is es-
timated that 100000 cars were
equipped with radios in 1888. and
,0O0,000 more will be sold in
1894. More than a million cars
NOW have hot water heaters which
require electric power to operate.
Gas and oil gauges, cigar and Gig
arctic lighters, double stop lights,
windshield defrosters, double horns
and many other appliances are
found on the modern cars. The
1884 cars have larger generators
80 ampere capacity instead of
20 ampere.
The Firestone Extra Power Bat
terry with the All-rubber Separa-
tors furnishes more and quicker
starting power-at zero it gives
$50 percent more starting power.
1t is especially superior for cars
operating in severe service, and
for commercial cars and light
trucks.

CASUALTIES OF JULY 4

According to early reports, 176 Amer
leans gave up their lives on independence
Day this year, through accidents classified
as follows: Fireworks, 8; automobile, 60;
drowning, 10; other causes, 3D. Many
hundreds We're more or less seriously in
jured, and some may have died later.
This is gruesome record but it shows
a marked Improvement over those of other
recent years, especially that of 1881, when
483 persons were killed on July a.
A nationwide movement for safe
and sane Fourth was started in 1906 by
James Kelley, Chicago newspaper editor,
and as result the number of deaths on the
nations birthday have been materially de-
creased, especially from fireworks.
But there seems to be little progress
in reducing the heavy toll of lives taken by
automobile accidents and droWnings, most
of which could be avoided by the exercise
of a reasonable degree of caution.
