The pitching staff, which is the department of the Cracker organi zation which has set up most of the wabbling tills season has been materially bettered of late. The addition of "Lefty" Russell and Jim Brady should be helpful. With At kins and Russell as left handers and with, Brady. Dessau and Sitton as the right handers the Cracker staff should lie tolerably dangerous It depends a good bit on how Brady and Russell show' and on how Des sau gets going.

In the spring Cunningham coaches tlie Georgia Reserves baseball team. This is a. goodfellowship organization that goes around to the prep schools, plays the prep teams, and promotes good feeling. Says the coach: "Os course, tlie object is not to win any games. That would de feat out purpose. 1 instruefed the boys that they were not to kick on afiv decisions. "One day, at a certain town in Georgia, we played a prep team. One of our men stole second. His slide to tlie bag was awkward, hut he sure got there, sliding about half-way across it and then stop ping. Yet the umpire called him out. "1 stood it until the inning end ed. Then I west to the umpire and Slid. ’Of course, old man. it doesn’t matter in the least ,to me. . but Just for curiosity and in tlie interest of higher education, woultl you mind telling me why you call ed that man out who stole second'.’’ " ’With pleasure,’ the umpire re plied The rule.-, say distinctly that a man is safe at second when lie is touching tlie bag with liis feet or hands Your man. as you saw your self, was touching the bag with his stomach only. He was therefore out.’ " « while jhe contest lasted Aitchison pitched fairlx useful ball against the Crackers, and held them as safe as was necessary. Manager Hemphill didn't play yesterday. That put O'Dell in right field and Sykes at first.. The for mer t'roker regular at first got back in his batting stride, after a long spell of slump, and mangled the pill for a couple of beauts.

W. NAUGHTON WRITES ON TV COBB’S CASE By W. W. Naughton. SAN FRANCISCO, June 3.—Was baseball or Ty Cobb justified for inflicting corporal punish ment on a spectator who shower ed personal abuse on him? The writer has read and listened to oodles of argument In the connec tion, and is satisfied there is still a deal to be said on both sides. “A man's personality is sacred to himself and he should not suffer hllmself to be called vile names." say those who take the Cobb end of it. "Besides, this thing of hound ing a player is far-reaching in its effects. It rattles him and prevents him from showing the best that is in him. This means that the team to which he belongs is made to suffer." Those who view the matter from the opposite angle contend that rooting or roasting at a baseball game is largely a birthright, and that seeking to curb the vocal out put that causes the atmosphere in the neighborhood of a ball park to vibrate would he interfering with the liberty of the subject. "A player should be deaf, dumb and Adind to outside influences.” say’ those of the latter way’ of thinking, "At the worst, he should regard roasting as one of the ac companiments of a calling that en ables him to draw down big money.” And there you are. in support of the free speech phase of the matter, it may be stated that there are certain forms of outdoor sport, the world around. OXFORD MEN WILL JOIN YANKEE OLYMPIC TEAM LONDON, June 3.—Englishmen are much chagrined over the announcement of two American Rhodes scholars that they will compete for the United States instead of for England in the Olympic games. They are W. A. Ziegler and R. L Lange, first string men for Oxford against Cambridge for the past two years. They have written to Secretary James E. Sul livan of the American Olympic committee asking him to enter them as members of the American team. Lange, whose home is in Oklahoma, is a ten-second sprinter, while Ziegler, who hails from lowa, is a weight thrower. Both men were asked to Join the tryouts for the English team before they ex pressed their preference for the American team. The men have been training hard with the Olympic contests in view and hope to be able to score points in the big meet at Stockholm. CROSS AND BROWN MIX IN NEW YORK TONIGHT NEW YORK. June 3.—Matt Wells, the British lightweight champion, on Wednesday night will make his first appearance in'the ring here since he was defeated by Packey McFarland. Wells will box ten rounds with Young Brown, an East Side lightweight, at the Royale Athletic club, Brooklyn. Greatest interest, however, centers in the lightweight contest between Knockout Brown and Leach Cross, both of New York, at Madison Square Gar den tonight. This may serve as a pre lude to a championship battle, as an ef fort will be made to matchNthe winner with Champion Ad Wolgast. LITTLE ROCK’S LONE SERIES BEGINS TODAY LITTLE ROCK. ARK., June 3.- Manager Mike Finn and thirteen of his Mobile baseball players arrived here last night for the three-game series with Nashville, which begins here to day. The Nashville team arrived this morning. The games will count in the championship standing These will be the first Southern league games in Little Rock since 1969 at the close of which season this city lost its franchise, and it is expected that business will be practically sus pended this afternoon. COLUMBIA CREW OFF FOR CAMP. NEW YORK, June 3, —Columbia uni versity will be the first institution to begin training at Poughkeepsie for the big annual intercollegiate regatta on Jun< 29 Coach Jim Rice left today with a squad of 30 men They will train at "Ice House Dock,” which the Columbia Rowing club purchased last year for training quarters. The men may get their uuIUJ tryout this week on the fit that would languish if there were any attempt to muzzle spectators. No one. of course, becomes emo tionally insane at a game of crick et. and T have never heard of a man being ejected from a golf links for becoming excited to the point of turbulence. With baseball in America and football in Great Britain it is dif ferent. In Australia the "barrack ers,” as the rooters are called, are allowed plenty’ of rein. They may abuse the players with W'hotn they are not in sympathy, both indi vidually' and collectively, and it is only- when something in the na ture of an incipient riot begins that the noisetnakers are squelched by' the strong arm of the law. There "barracking" is regarded as a con comitant of football. And w'hat would a baseball game be without the uproar that ema nates from the many-throated bleachers? It seems silly to pro pound the question, anyway, as it is not the concerted turmoil, but individual vituperation that is com plained of in the Cobb case. But where there is general excitement there is sure to be an occasional violation of the laws of enthusiasm, and that is what the fellow who of fended Cobb was guilty of. The clamor which prevails at, a baseball game is a form of hysteria Americana. It is born of a deep rooted love for the grand old pas- Trusses Like These Are A Crime Get R'd of Elastic Bands. Springs »n« Leg-Straps. Such Harness Has Forced Thtnisends te Undergo Dangerous Operations, Trusses like those shown above—the oelt and leg-strap, elastic and spring contraptions sold by drug stores, sur gical supply houses end many’ self styled "Hernia Specialists"—make life miserable for everybody who wears them. And —even when drawn so tight you can scarcely stand to keep them on— they do no good whatever. Instead, they often do immense harm —they squeeze the rupture often caus ing strangulation —dig Into the pelvic oone in front —press against the sensi tive spinal column at the back. The Plain Truth Is This. Rupture—as explained In our free 000k —can’t be relieved or cured —can’t sven be kept from growing worse- un ,MS constantly held in place Just a’ a broken bone can't “knit" unless the parts are held securely together. And —just as a bandage or splint Is the only way a broken bone can be held—the eight kind of truss is the only thing in the world that can keep a "upture from coming out. what a difference It will make when you get that kind of truss. And you can get exactly that kind of truss —without risking a cent nf your money. It's the famous Cluthe Truss or Cluthe Automatic Massager. Far more than a truss—far more than merely a device for holding the rupture In place. So different from everything else for rupture that It has received 18 sepa rate patents. Thousands say ft Is as comfortable as their clothing No belt, elastic belt or springs around your waist, and no leg strap -nothing to pinch, chafe, squeeze nr bind. Self regulating, self-adjusting It is held In position by suction —can't shift or slip—the only truss in existence that Is honestly guaranteed to tv ld your rupture every minute of the day Sent on 60 Days Trial to Prove It, We have so much faith In the Cluthe Truss - we have seen It work wonder for so many others -that wo want to make one especially for y t m case and let you try it at out risk. ._ . — i time and a desire to see it played in a flawless manner. It Is what the effervescence and the bubbles are. to a newly uncorked bottle of champagne, and, without said ef fervescence. the wine would be as vapid as ditch water Incidentally, in many of its char acteristics a baseball crowd is unique. At a prize fight a specta tor who vilifies one of the contest ants unnecessarily frequently finds some one close at hand who dis agrees with him. and an impromptu scrap is the result. On the base ball bleachers a man may rail at a player in the most florid language and not offend the sensibilities of those around him. It would seem as though a baseball player is al ways either the common enemy or ■ the idol. So long as baseball has the ex citing effect on the human mind it has at present, it will be hard to provide against, such instances as that which moved Ty Cobb to blow’s. In the meantime, it would be a grand thing if some one would discover a lymph which would render baseball heroes im pervious to the jibes and jeers of the bleachers. Until the discovery is made it might not be a ba-d idea for the stars of the diamond to school themselves in the belief that occasional abuse is a part of the penance that attaches to being great. i We’ll ghee you 60 days time te test it—if it doesn’t keep your rupture frotr coming out. when you are working and at all other times —if it doesn’t put an end to the trouble you’ve heretofore . had with your rupture—ls you don’t get better right away—then the truss won’t cost you a cent. How It Strengthen* and Heale. In addition to holding the rupture, the , Cluthe Truss or Cluthe Automatic Mas sager Is constantly giving a soothing, i strengthening massage to the weak, rup tured parts. AH automatically—the massage goes nn all day long, all without any attention whatever from you. This massage—which strengthens just as exercise strengthens a weak arm—is so remarkably beneficial—so remarkably ■ curative —that in 199 cases out of every 200 rupture begins to get better from ths day a Cluthe Truss is put on.
