Hoyd Nine Packs
Dynamite at
Home Plate

Georgetown University's base
ball team today is the talk of the
college world.
The Hoyas, starting their first
season under Joe Judge, former
Nat and one of the games great
est Businessmen of all time,
scored the unheard-of total Of 81
runs yesterday against Western
Maryland, even though the
Georgetown took only five turns
at bat. The game was called after
five and half innings had been
played.
Makes % Hits
Georgetown gathered 23 hits
either of commission or commiss.
ion.
Indeed, the Hoyas played so
flawlesSly that it was amazing to
see them turn in such a perfect
job. Who said that coaching does
not count in college baseball?
While the Hoyas were turning in
their sensational game, George
Washington'S Colonials, luckless
to date this season, were taking
1t on the chin from the strong
Harvard team. Harvard won, is
to 3, gathering Is hits, seven Of
them triples and one double.
Three Home Runs
Speaking of long distance clout-
ing in the college ranks, George
town managed three home runs,
four triples and four doubles,
while Hoya twirlers held the
Green Terrors to a single hit. Joe
Keegin, one of Georgetown's two
catchers. hit a homer and triple
in the same inning. Mike Petro6-
key, one of Georgetown's two hurl-
ers, did o. K. by himself, too, for
he hit two doubles and a triple
in three trips to the plate.
Harvard, conqueror Of G. W.,
and Georgetown will hook up in
what should be great game on
Friday afternoon.

LAKELAND, Fla, April 7.
Walter o. Briggs, president and
chief owner of the Detroit Tigers,
sees the Bengals as the leading
contender for the 1887 American
League pennant. The develop
ment of the team in the past two
weeks, when all of it's elements
began to coordinate, the return
of Greenberg, and the complete
recovery of Mickey Cochrane are
the factors upon which Mr.. Briggs
bases his prediction.
lone Of the chief factors In the
success of the Tigers this year
will be Mickey Cochrane," Mr..
Briggs said. "Cochrane definitely
has recovered his health. Just
think what that will mean to our
club. Last year Mickey played in
only A games. We missed his
bat and glove in there, but most
of all we missed his leadership.

Cochrane Is q tWo-baSe hit before

He hit long home run against
Washington here in Lakeland

teams, and yesterday he pOled

tacular fielding by AL Simmons.
Incidentally, that ball would

"Out of the bunch of young
pitchers working with the team
We should get some winners.
George Gill, Bob Logan, Paul
Trout, Pat Mclaughlin, George
COffman, Jake Wade and Clyde
Halter are all Of high promise.
Rowe is in form, and we hope
that Tommy Bridges will be able
to take his regular assignments
this season. We had Bridges at
q Miami hospital, and we re-
ceived assurances that he would
be able all right this season."
Strange, indeed, are the trends
in baseball. One week ago it was
almost a set cinch that Taft
Wright would force one Of the
other gardeners. But despite the
valiant efforts Of the youngster, it
is likely now that he will be farmed
out for a year. His defense can
stand polishing. 1t is said.
Tommy Bridges hurt his side
again and was forced to retire
after the Griffs had dubbed him
for three runs in the third in.

Clyde Halter.
Simmons played with might

throw to the plate cut down

perhaps. He was safe on an
error by Wilburn, and when the
Griffs made three runs in the
third, Simmons grinned from
ear to ear.

Whooping Cough Victim Needs Food
To Replace That Lost BY Vomiting

Fresh drinks with fruit juices are
helpful In this as we'll as In other
infectious diseases. 1t should be
made certain, incidentally, that the
patient gets and retains enough
water.
Many excellent drugs will aid
In quieting the child and In less
ening the severity Of his cough.
Drugs that are really useful, Incl
dentally, are strong enough to ne
cessitate prescription by doctor
in each individual case. The drugs
vary In strength and doctors will
prescribe those that are just strong
enough for the child concerned.
Limitations Of steam used with
various soothing oils, also may be
useful In lessening the severity Of
the victims cough.
1t is important to know that a
child may initiate the coughing Of
others, or cough unnecessarily af-
ter learning that a handsome dem
onstration will bring presents, SYM
pathy, and attention II might not
otherwise secure.
The wrong mental attitude, there
fore, may make an apparently SER
ious case of what should be
serious mild one. For this reason
the child should be encouraged to
control the cough as much as pos
sible.

miss attention.
When you get up In the morning,

original position without moving the
feet or touching hands to the floor.
Both parts Of the exercise should be
done slowly. Repeat five times.
Keeping shoulders fiat and arms
on the floor at sides, raise both feet
as high as possible. Don't bend
knees. Lower slowly. Repeat five
times This Is much more difficult
than it sounds. In fact, it will make
you quite tired the first few times
you do 1t and is likely to make the
stomach and back muscles sore as
well. However, repeat day after day
until you can go through both steps
fairly easily. Within q month, you'll
notice that your waistline Is Slim
mer, that you walk and stand more
gracefully.
To reduce waistline and flatten
stomach, lie on your face on the
floor with hands, palms down, UNI

bows are straight. Weight should be
resting on toes and hands. Count
ten, relax and repeat.
Even If you are thin, try TO walk
at least mile day and do lin

not mean that your figure will stay

When a child has whooping cough,
he should be put to bed and isolated
from members of the family who
have not had the disease.
His bedroom should be sunny
with temperature between IS and
70 degrees F. In favorable weather
he may be kept in front of an open
window during the day, but in bad
weather, he should always be kept
away from drafts.
To keep him from catching cold,
the patient should be protected
suitably with light but warm cloth
ing. Sometimes binder, such as is
= worn by babies, Is wrapped around
his abdomen to support the muscles
during spells of coughing. Use of
these binders seems to give q GER
tain amount of relief and sometimes
even helps to reduce the number of
coughing spells.
If the victim has much trouble
with his lungs. and If the coughing
spells occur more than 20 or 80
times in "A hours, he should be kept
IN bed until fully convalescent. Chill
dren with whooping cough should
spend lot of time In the sunlight
and the warm air. but should never
. be exposed to cold or drafts.
I Due to persistent vomiting, the
swhooping cough victims sometimes
become seriously undernourished. II
therefore IL important TO watch his
diet closely. giving him small
amounts OF food at frequent inter-
walls.
The food should be nutritious and
easily digestible. II t. meal has been
vomited, II may be desirable TO give
him more food shortly thereafter.
Large amounts OF food should be-
avoided. however. since they cause
more irritation and vomiting.
The best time 70 give the patient
u small amount OF food Is 10 TO 10
minutes after a coughing spell. His
diet should include milk. eggs. but.

chopped white meat Of chicken, and
vegetable 90. p. Such q diet Is much |

The origin Of the idea that a

In the fact that 1t always has been

and seldom seen, that is, by the

That, be 1t known, Is the reason
that men, from time illamemorial,
have been able to get more OF q

That Is why they have made recrea-
ton rooms their stronghold. It has
been our own urge to make per-

more active participation In the play

equal heirs to this re-birth.
Nor do we extend our sympathy
to the licensed or unlicensed dens

for sinister designs. In fact, 1t was
due primarily to this set-up that a
stigma became attached to such
