Suicide Believed Motive
In Death By Drowning
Prominent Plain City
Woman Found In Creek

Mary Page, 81, wife of John T.
Page, prominent Plain City auc-
tioneer, was found dead Monday
apparently from drowning in Big
Darby creek. Her body was sight
ed by two men at about 1890
pm. No witnesses were available
who had seen Mrs. Page near the
creek, authorities stated. How
ever, one witness said that he
had seen her walking in the vicin-
ity about an hour before the
tragedy.
Two school children had found
Mrs. Pages coat, purse and shoes
on the bank of the stream and
had quickly notified Bruce Beach
and Russell Noble, who live near
by the scene on East Main Street.
The men found the body in four
feet of water a short distance
from personal belongings lying on
the bank. They removed the body
from the water and notified police
who summoned Madison County
Coroner, DR.. T homas Bacon.
Death was attributed to drown
ing, police said. It was estimated
that the body had been in the
water about 80 minutes.
Mrs. Page was said to have
been in very poor health for a
year or more and this reason was
believed to have been the reason
she took her own life. Oddly, the
purse left on the creek bank con-
tanned almost one thousand dol
lars in cash.
She is survived by her husband.

BOOZE

ed to the cab, stuck his nog-
gin in the window, and said.

ADVERTISING
Modern advertising is some
times battling. For a corn
cure, they show the laughing
face of the sufferer. But for a
shoe ad, they show a shoe
and tell you that a smiling
person has it on. Coffee is
boosted by showing a Sleep
ing person. In an auto adver-
tisement, we see woman
dining in a luxurious restau-
rant-but she OWNS SUCH
and-such a car. What we'd
like to see is an onion grower
advertise an onion that makes
breath kissing sweet"

who say they sleep like

A lot of fellows with pull

No-Hitters
Scarce In The
Major Leagues
Rv RIP WATSON

NEW YORK, M-Left-handed
pitchers in the major leagues APP
parently have lost the secret of
pitching q no hit. no run game.
The no hit classic turned in by
Bobo Holloman of the st. Louis
Browns Wednesday, besides being
the first no hitter in modern"
baseball history by a rookie max
ing his first start, also served to
point up the fact that. only one
Of the last II no hit games was
pitched by southpaw.
Holloman's effort, Of course, was
the first Of the young 1858 season.
Last season the no-hit authors were
Carl Erskine of the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers and Virgil Trucks, then of the
Detroit Tigers who had one of the
most unusual pitching records ever
with two no hit victories in bis 5-19
record. Both are right-handers.
Only Cliff Chambers, who turned
In q no-hitter for the Pittsburgh
Pirates against the Boston Braves
on May 8. 1851, was able to break
through the lineup of right-handed
no-hit hurlers. BY coincidence, the
lanky left.hander put his name in
the record book exactly two years
to the day before Holloman came
through. Holloman was toiling for
Augusta, Ca, Of the Glass A South
Atlantic League when Chambers
hit the headlines.
Three other no hitters we're
pitched In 1851 but. as usual, all
were by right-handers. One was
by Bob Teller of the Cleveland
Indians--th third of his career
and both Of the others by Allie
Reynolds Of the Yankees.
You can leaf back through the
records to 1914 before you find an
ether no-hitter by q ieft-hander:
vern Bickford of the Boston
braves IN 1850. Rex Barney OF the
Brooklyn Dodgers and Bob Lemon
Of the Indians in l94S. Bill Nc

II anybody has put the rabbit into

While nearly every other club
was blasting the ball out Of the
park yesterday. the two Philadel-
phia clubs were held to only two
extra base hits in three games
yesterday, And they were measly

Consequently. it is not surprising
that the Washington S senate
dumped the Athletics in both ends
of a double-header. so and 6-2,
while the Brooklyn Dodgers wrest-

the PhilIies with a so triumph.
The AS twin losses we're their fifth
