July IF, 1924, at st. Louis
 (Thls Is the best individual pitching
 performance for July l7th)
 Jess Haines, pitching for the Cardinals, gave the Braves three walks, and, as he received perfect support. and allowed no hits, and did not hit anyone, these three strolls afforded the only means the opposition had of visiting the base paths. He won easily, 8 to o.
 Outside of the third inning, when one walked, and the sixth, when two other Braves did likewise, Jesse set his opponents down in one, two, three order. The nearest thing to a hit came in the third with Me- Namara on first, when Felix lined low one which Hornsby Speared.
 Haines retired five on strikes, caused ten to hit easy flies to the outfield, six to hit grounders to second and short, three to himself, two to pop flies to Cooney, and one to line drive to HornSby,
 NOTE: While Haines allowed no hits on this date, there are two bet. ter pitching performances from the standpoint of men reaching base. In 1917 Cicotte, of the White sox, and in 1908, Coakley of the Ath- letics, permitted two opponents to reach base In nine innings, the former allowing a single and Q walk, and the latter two singles and no passes; whereas Haines was re- sponsible for three getting on, ell on bases on balls This performance of HaineS ranks as the thirty seventh best in the majors.

New York, July t7.-.tUP)-You hear much and read mere about how Harry Cooper, the Light Horse" one from chicago, is the nn- est maker of golf shots in ell the world.
 Substantial proof that this is true, and that the slightly bald little fel- low has no equal on the falrways and the greens, came to me through the mail today in the shape of Q form chart" on the Si0,000 Chicago open tournament which will be played at Tommy Armour's Medinah club in Chicago late this month.
 The form chart" was e gift from Bob Harlow, whose business 1t is to promote interest in the tournament. It was gotten up by Harlow and gives the complete records of the thirty ranking professionals In oil the important medal play tourna- ments since January 1, It gives their positions att he finish in fif- teen competitions, their average fin- ishing positions, their score aver- ages, and prize money won,

Eastern Point, Conn, July l7.- (uP) - Fair-haired Jean Bauer, Providence, today held her second consecutive shenecossett Country club championship, following her defeat of Miss Helen Waterhouse, A fellow townswoman, in the finals Of the 0riswold cup tournament yeS- terday. ,,.
 Thus, Miss Bauer revenged a de- feat at the hands Of Miss Water- house last week in the finals of the Rhode Island state championship.
 The margin of victory was only 1 and [, but that didn't come any where near showing the measure of superiority held by Jean over Helen. The defending champion was sure and steady; the challenger was nervous and shaky in her shots.
 At the turn, Miss Bauer had c 42 Co Heien's 44, and led one Up. But the second nine was not very far advanced before Miss Bauer put on the pressure. She took the 10th, 18th and 14th holes easily and the matter ended on the 18th when they haived the hole with par 3's.
 While Jean was calm and collect- cd, Helen was extremely jittery. when the match was over she sob- bed unrestrainedly. She is only l9 years old.

Annette Kellerman Fine Example of ealthfu Benefits
 of Swimming
BY JACK PoBUK Noted Swimming Instructor

Swimming's health values are un- deniable
 Consider the case of Annette Kel- lerman
 As a child she wore braces to the hips. Doctors said she had chalk in her bones and would never be able to walk correctly.
 Following her fathers urgings, Annette drowned her fear of the wa ter and, although at first it was tortuous exercise for her, mastered the art of swimming.
 Thanks to the soothing massage of the waves and the not-too stren- uous exercises. Annette's legs strengthened and she not only be- came the worlds great swimmer of her day but also one of the most beautifully developed woman.
 It is hoped that this series has led you down to the seashore and persuaded you to get in and swim cause the waters fine.

 United Press Stan CoFrespOndent)
 New York, July i7.-CUp). Base ball oddities are the rule rather than the exception, but followers of the national pastime had Q pair of new ones to talk about today.
 The Detroit Tigers scored seven runs and one hit
 Silas Johnson won both ends of e double header for the St, Louis Cardinals and Bucky Walters lost the same two games for Philadel- phia.
 The Tigers, after spotting the New York Yankees i've runs, tale lied seven times in the sixth inning, then went on to earn 6 i4-7 tri- umph. Johnson, after pitching eight-hlt ball to defeat the Phillies t0-3 in the first game, returned in the role of e relief hurler in the ninth inning of the second game with the score tied 10-l0. The Cards blasted out eight runs in the 10th for an le-l0 triumph.
 One Hit
 Here Is how the Detroit club scored seven runs on one hit to break the American League leaders winning streak at nine straight. Pearson who had pitched scoreleSS ball for i've innings walked the first three men to face him. He famed Gerry Walker, but Rudy York worked him for another base on balls forcing in e run. Pat Ma lone was called to the rescue, but Chet Laabs greeted him with A double-the only hit of the inning and drove in two Inorre. ooslin was intentionally passed, but he couldn't regain control and walked Jo-Jo White, forcing in the fourth Detroit tally. Malone was excused in favor of MakoSky, but Red Rolfe fumbied Pete Fox's double-play ball, and SCrossetti booted Rogell'S hopper, allowing two more Tiger tallieS. A walk to dehringer forced in the seventh run, then Makosky famed 0reenberg and Walker to end the tumultuous inning.
 Walters Loses Two
 Walter was belted out in the first Inning with . Ave run assault in the opening game he lost to the Cards. He returned in the eighth of the niRhteap and was driven to cover in the 10th when the Cards put on their big rally. Terry Moore hit 6 pair of home runs in the two contests and Medwick and Brown each collected one for St. Louis. Norris, Arnovich and Camilli hit four baggers for Philadelphia.
 The double win lifted the Cards Into c third place tie with the Pittsburgh Pirates who nosed out the New York Giants, 4.3, in an ii-inning struggle. Burgess White. head threw wild to first base and allowed the deciding run to come home. The Giants remained .005 percentage points behind the lead- ing Chicago Cubs who were stopped 6.i by the three hit pitching oi Louis Fette of the Boston Bees. II was Fettes iith triumphy of the year. Jimmy BucherS single drove In the winning run in the Brooklyn Dodgers three-run, fiinth-inning rally to defeat the Cieinnati RedS, 6-5.

Tell us, padre, how we can love one an
other. as the Bible bids us do. 1t is not easy
to do. as YOU must admit. Even you must
find it difficult when out of the pulpit.
when the glow of emotion has cooled,
little irritatons return, little bttcrncSses, OLD
prudocs. and YOU no doubt find that love IS
easier to talk about than to live.
"All agree that if we cared for others as
much as we care for ourselves, the world
would be different War would be unthlnk-
able, and the home would be happier place.
Some people are attractive, some rcpul-
sive, others just neutral. There seem to De
barriers between us and others. There are
SO MANY with whom We arc out OF sympathy.
1T is no good telling us how good 1t IS
to be good if YOU do not tell us how to do
it. After all, how can We control our emo
lions? Our affections will not flow to some
folk"
OF course, if by loving others we mean
being fond of everybody. it cannot be done.
Our hearts arc limited, and we can love only
a few in that way. No one can be fond OF
everybody.
To love another means sincerely to desire
his highest good, and We dare not do any
thing else with anybHly- else we injurc our
own precious. delightful little selves.
If our emotions arc tickle we can at least
control and direct our wills. We can de-
terminc all the time. and everywhere, to
desire and seek the good of all with whom
we come in contact.
1t is an attitude of constant, undlscour-
agcablc goodwill that We must cultivate. Ii
we have it. all sorts and conditions of pco-
pie feel it in us, and respond to it at once.
If we nave this simple mind-sct always
to do the good that is open to us to every
one, sooner or later the heart will follow the
will, and we shall live i'll genuine loving

What Other Editors Say
Corn Is Growing

All over the Roanoke ChoWan country, corn is
growing Corn, what a royal plant it is! 1t grows
straight and stately taller than any other crop, and
the sound of it's rustng is as music to the farmers
ears 1t feeds both man and beast, and will grow
anywhere.
In July, as the green mantle covers old mother
Earth and as the balmy warmth of early morning
stirs the depths of ones soul who loves the earth
and it's fullness corn grows into the full flower Of
its perfection So see the tall stalks begin to tasSel
and to see the annual mystery of the silks, and
then the ears come forth, that hold promise OF
harvest of grain in Autumn-iS to see the generoS-
ity of the soil at first hand.
Those who live close to the soil, and who listen
carefully can hear corn growing. After warm
rain sometimes in the stage of its feverish rapid
growth one can hear the faint, elemntal crunch
ing and popping of the joints in the stalks, as the
cells multiply in their mad progress, pushed along
by the divine magic of the soils richness and the
rains soothing power and the suns might. Food
is then growing. The earth is bringing forth it's
fruits to reward man for his work in planting and
tling for brief time. Harvest is not far away
Corn fields in wide eXpanse, row on row, like
legions of soldiers orderly, clean and uniform make
an inspiring sight if we look and think about it
