THE DRUNKEN PREACHER
(FrOrn page one)

the name of the author of this
near epic is lost to posterity. I
do not know who he was and
would not say now if I did. But
he created attention at that time.
If all his verses were quoted, he
left his readers in doubt as to
what eventually befell him. The
Roanoke Times said that another
state paper had from time to
time assumed superior airs on
the strength of discovering a
deathless fragment from a North
Carolina poet, reading
''It was the last election day
I seen pap come home stepping
high,
as was of him the way"
and asked the other paper to ad-
nit that the following quotation
from A Drunken Preacher was
at least equal to the lines quoted
from the North Carolina bard.
II got quite full of Satan's tea,
I went to vote, it made me
glee"
Some of the papers comment
ed about the drunken preacher
in dry county, but the burden
of their comment concerned the
quality of the doggerel.

AN-Stars Will Bank
Heavily on Passing
Against Packers
Ry the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-Passing,
passing, and more passing, with
some hard line-plunging mixed in,
probably will be the fare the Ma
tlonal Football League champions,
the Green Bay Packers, will have to
face tomorrow night in the 18th
annual all-star football game at
Soldier Field.
Head Coach Bernie Bierman OF
Minnesota gave that indication last
night as the Collegiate All-Stars,
held a dress rehearsal under the
lights in the huge lake front stadium
in preparation for the big game.
Bierman had bit of his old Min
nesota power mixed up in his at
tack as he employed Charley Trippi
of Georgia and the Sd Air Force,
Perry Moss of Oklahoma, Tom Har-
mon of Michigan and John Stray
kalskl OF Marquette in the backfeld
in the squads final hard workout.
| Pvt. Dick BarWegen, former Pur-
due lineman and last years all-star
captain, did not work out because Of
injuries suffered several days ago.
and it was doubtful he would get
into the line-up tomorrow night.
Almost every man of the 65-player
squad saw action in the under-the-
lights drill. They'll wind up train
ing with a light workout and
skull session" today.
Meanwhile, the Packers will leave
Green Bay today and will hold their
final workout under the lights of
Soldier Field tonight.
Soldier Field isn't big enough to
accommodate all the fans who want
to see the game.
Arch Ward, sports editor of the
Chicago Tribune, sponsor of the grid
classic, said if accommodations were
available, the crowd would number
more than 1875 900 instead of 10000.
The attendance cannot reach the
l0l 100 figure for the 1912 game be-
cause of slight decrease in seating
capacity.

Mats Start Pennuntwurd Laid
To Home-Run Streak byCIift

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 29.-Har-
lond Cliff isn't even in the lineup
now, but If the Mats grab pennant
or even finish in the money this
year, much of the credit for their
accomplishment will be due to the
quiet third baseman from the Ma
tion's northwest.
For it was Cliff who spanked the
Washington Club in the mid-sum-
mer drive that brought it out of the
depths of the league to the second
place it has held almost withouts in
terruption since July 4. Cliff and
his spectacular squirt at bat did the
trick.
Harlond reeled off seven home
runs in 10 days in that squirt. While
two of the first three did not help
the Mats to victory in the games. the
remainder told heavily in the tus-
sling that ended in Washington S
favor.
The homer squirt begun in Boston
on June % and eliminated by three
four base blows in the double
header against the White Sox in
Chicago on July 4 so inspired the
Mats they became a roaring aggrega-
ton fit to rip through almost any
opposition.
Cliffs string of homers had pro-
sided just the tonic needed to make
the Mats formidable ball club.
Harlond faded at bat after that
amazing streak, faded so much he
hao to relinquish his post at third
base to the harder hitting Hills
Layne. But the magic medicine that
his long hitting was to the Mats re-
tanned its potency.
The Washington club has slipped
only occasionally since Cliff put it
on its feet in late June and early
July. But after each slip, it has re-
covered its poise quickly to race
along its way. The spark Cliff pro-
vided certainly kindled hot fire.
