IKTOE EIGHT 'MEDTOBB IfSTL TRIBUTE, MEDFOTtD, OREGON, TUESDAY, SEPTE5IBER 29, 1931. T EDGE IN DEFENSE EXPERJJLIEVES Superiority On Mound, Be hind Bat and in Outer Garden Shown by A's Card Infield Holds Palm By Alan Gould (Associated Press Sports Editor) HEW YORK, Bept. 39. (AI-) Measured by the calibre or pitching or the yardstick of fielding skill and experience, the world's champion Athletics possess a margin ol super iority over the Cardinals in. defensive strength for the baseball champion ship battle. The National league charhplous have a faster Infield, featuring the Trlsch-Oelbcrt combination around second base. The A's otherwise, have an edge on the mound, behind the bat and In the outfield, especially If the sensational ball hawk, Mule Baas, Is back In top form. Sensational Hupport -Lefty Grove and George Earnahaw, the twin aces upon whom the hopes of another quick ' American league victory are based, always have had the benefit of sterling support from their teammates. Inspiration works both ways when either of these fast ball fltngers Is on the mound. It's an old baseball axiom that Tou can't hit what you can't see" and at times last October It appeared some of the Cardinal batsmen were not properly visualizing the smoke of Grove and Earnshaw, let alone penetrating It with any substantial success. Walberg and Hoyt will form the second line of pitching defense for the A's. The Cardinal twirling defense will be distinctly a gamble. If Gabby Street Is forced to rely on Paul Der ringer and BUI Hallahan, Instead of Burleigh Grimes and Jesse Haines, veterans of the Red Bird flock. Der ringer la a newcomer to series fire, With Hallahan, it's either a shutout or a knockout. He blanked the A's tb first time he faced them last year and was routed In two Innings the next time. A's Infield Weaker The A'a Infield has never been the club's strongest point. Foxx, for In stance, does not compare with Bov tomley as a defensive worker, al though Big Jimmy Is steady. Bishop 1 not so spectacular as Frlsch, one of the great defensive second basemen of all time, Boley, an old reliable, cannot cover the ground, nor has hs the arm that Gelbert owns. The Mack substitute, Williams, Is more on Gelbert's style. Dykes Is about on a par with either Adams or High be intra. - On the outer patrol, the A's have two of the finest fly-chasers In Al Simmons and Mule Haas. Both cover acres of ground and have great arms; Hafey. In left, and either Pepper Martin or Orsattl In center, for the Cardinals, do not quite measure up to the exceptional standard of their rlvsls. Watklns or Toettger, In right field for the National leaguers, lack the experience of the veteran Blng auiier. Cochrane Dependable Mickey Cochrane may have one or two mechanical faults behind the bat. His arm is good, though not the best in the back-stopping business, but the great Mack receiver's all around ability surpasses that of the clever Jimmy Wilson, No. 1 catcher for the Cards. Mlcksy'a biggest advantage la t bat. He Is one of the greatest -money players" In baseball and ..as starred In each of the last two world series. Connie Mack's famous scorecard must be ranked as a defensive was. pon. The M-year old manager has studied the batting habits of every varuinai, personally or through his trusted agents, and will have his men Into position accordingly. If ny eracka or creaks develop In the Champion's defense. Mack has nock of reserves primed to gallop uw action. South American Poloist Injured By Lofted Ball NEW YORK, Sept. 89.

'PaO' , ' , ,, t- GAB BXJSTREET APTo Francis Oulmet Is not only cham pion of the American amateurs, but he is also, or rathsr should be, shining example and pattern to the rising generation In a very special department of the game of golf In which the youngsters, Z regret to say, are strangely deficient. That Is the economy of time. In performing golf shots. The younger generation for eome years has .seemed to me to be get ting slower and slower in golf, while, according to the people who are as sumed to know, It has been speeding up In many directions. Out on the Pacific coast the youngsters are especially deliberate: it was Bobby Jones' one criticism ot far western golf that the young plnyers took too much time over their shots. ' . . Concentration Fleeting. It Is. a theory of Bobby's, that It golfer Is concentrating properly, such concentration oaunot be kept at the penk for more than a very few seconds at a time. It Is best, he considers, to make up one's . mind what to do before taking the stance and then do it promptly. As to this Increasing practice of making every putt of more than one foot .an engineering problem; sur veying It from both ends and often both sides; lining It up again and sgsln .before hitting the ball well, I couldn't help seeing the contrast between old Francis Oulmet ana tne kids In the recent national amateur championship. Francis Oulmet Is, and always nas been, a better putter than 80 per cent of these gallant youngsters may ever hope to be. Also, he wsa approximately twice the age of most of his five opponent In the cham pionship. It Is not unnatural to expect golfer to slow up a bit with the passing of the yoarsi Justs as It Is natural to expect youtn to do exuo rant and Impetuous. But tbs kids did all the fussing around on the green; I think they averaged at least three times the period for executing the average nutt that Oulmet required. Francis would stand quietly by while an opponont about half his age studied and surveyed his putt from both ends and men posea dock of the ball for endless seconds, and then hung over It, before he couia strike It. Afterwards hs . would step brlexiy out behind his ball, look over the line quickly and sharply from the putting-end, step up to tne oau, nua swing the putter with that beautiful flowing stroke that has beoome one of the patterns of golf. peed and Skill, Perhoos I am awayed by the recol lection of a more slsshlng school of youngsters, coming along 10 or 111 years ago Sweetaer and Von Elm and Knepper and Jones; lsds who were less ot the civil engineer in their play. To be candid, they seemea to me to play better golf than the young ster of today. Certainly they played faster. Nor do I remember that the class before them wss noted for delibera tion Oulmet and Evans and Gard ner and Guilford and Fowne and back to Jerry Travers and Walter TTavers, who were rated the greatest putters ot their generation perhaps of all past generations. Miss 'em quick," old Alex smltn a advice, still lias much to command It. Eepeclally to the youngsters who tuke quite too long about miss ing their putts. A "different" wsr book makes It appearance In "The Cross ot Carl" by Walter Owen. None can deny Its being "different" and few will escape from the strsnge Interest It develops. 'The Cross of Csrr" Is described an allegory. Throughout the treat ment Is highly, unnervlngly realistic. As with allegories, you mske your own Interpretation by process ol Inference. Carl Is a common soldier. He has traded hi Job of husband tor the arduous on of helping to take Hill 80 "Hell" 80. as someone calls It. An tndomltabl fighter, at last he Is mowed down.

And then they send a cross Victoria or Iron or other to Carl's wife for her to "bear." ' . The "Peel" of Wor. The "feel" of the war which this author has, and his ability to con. vey that feel to others, arouses as much Interest In this book s the allegory Itself. For. this "feel" Is second-hand. .Owen,. In a note, stat ing that he was not In the war. Carl's creator Is said by his pub lishers to be of Scottish-Welsh ex traction and now to be In Argen tina on business; Rejected in sev eral attempts to enter the ' army because of defective eyes, he became 111 and was given opium to esse his pain. Whether as a result of that treatment or from other causes, be explains that he suffered, s .queer division ot his mental existence, by which, on half went Into battle and the other remained at home to record the experiences. The reader may wonder1 whether that explanation really explains the manner In which the. story Of Carl has been sot down. .

(AP) Notre Dame Won't feel the absence of Knute Rockne In Its football wars for at least two years. In the opinion of Edgar "Rip" Miller, one of the fam ous coach's moat outstanding pro ducts and now head coach of the Navy. "Football Is made up, to a large extent, by psychology," Miller satd. "The psychology of 'winning this game for Rock will add the needed spark for the Irish. "I know I went out and clawed the dirt and played like for 'good old Qlpp' and I never even knew how to spell his name then. It was Just that he .had been a great Notre Dame back and had given his all to the team before he died. "That same spirit will go a long way toward giving Hunk Anderson the spark ho needs In addition to his coaching ability In seeking to take Rock's place." Miller was an All-America guard In 1924, the year Notre Dame ripped the national gridiron with the fam ous "Four-Horseman" backfleld ot Stuldreher. Crowley, La yd en and Mil ler. FREE FOOTBALL FOR BOYS NEAR BERKELEY BERKELEY, Cal. (AP) Boys 13 years old and under will get a free view five times this year of the Cali fornia football -team In action.

WASHINGTON COUGARS LIGHTER THIS SEASON PULLMAN, Wwh. ( AP) The Wash ington State college football team, Pacific Coast conference champions last year, will average 10 pounds leas In the line and five pounds less In the backfleld this season.

When food fcrmcnls: dimprrrs; lie like lend in Ihc stomach, il is a sin of too much acid. The stomach nerves have been over-stimulnted. The quick rorreclive is an alkali. Don't resort (o burning doses of sodu lake instead, an antacid that will correct the condition. Phillips' Milk of Magnesial A spoonful of this soothing alkali restores the proper alkaline balanc to an acid-soaked system. Then the stomach, liver and bowels function as they should. Phillips' Milk of Magnesia is what you need when bad orealh or coated tongua indicate too much acid. Tako a spoonful today, and for several days, and see how soon it sweetens the entire system. Your if ,31 PHILLIPS' LOCALS TO MEET Game Here Saturday Will Extend Tigers Invaders Have Weight and Speed Vision ' State Crown The Medford .high school football team will have it work cut out for It when It tangles next Saturday afternoon at Van Scoyoc field, with Mare h field high. The Coos Bay squad ,has weight and speed, and a veteran backfleld, and practically the same team as In 1930.' Marshfleld Is a tentative aspirant for state cham pionship honors, and If ' they win, loud will be the crowing about It when . It comes time to compare scores. In the Mllosevlch brothers, Hazen, Perry and Edlund, the visitors have a plunging and forward passing com bination along with a heavy line. Point for Pass Defense The locals, somewhat enthused over their showing last Saturday, re sumed practice last night and Coach Burgher started drilling them for a forward pass defense, and correcting the mistakes they made against Cres cent City. The timing was slow Sat urday. Several times the line opened up a big hole, only to have It close before the ball carrier could get thru It. The work of eradicating a sur plus of confidence Is also underway. If It rains next Saturday, Marsh- field will have a vantage, as that Is the ' kind of weather they are used to. The locals play most of the sea son on a dry field, and to fool the weatherman, Coach Burgher wilt do some practicing with a wet and slick ball, If the clouds warrant. The Junior high school In their game Saturday against the Tiger Cubs, showed up well and while they scored no touchdowns, neither did the foe. They are a big husky bunch of kids, and provide a lot of likely looking timber for the senior high. Fans Oct Double Bill The two games in an afternoon idea was tried out for the first time, and the customers got a lot of foot ball for their money. It will not work so well when the Saturdays get short. The main game did not start until three o'clock, and was not over until after five. Businessmen and clerks can spend two . hours away from their desks and tasks, but they can't spend all , afternoon. If the weather Is a little rough, It is anoth er factor, along with the early dark ness. Many fans feel that the Junior high games should be played either Saturday morning or Friday after noon. They would draw Just an many people as If they were a preliminary attraction, and the crowd could con centrate) on lto enthusiasm. It is argued ' that a' doubleheader Is too much on a busy afternoon, .r- . f Mpww a3" "I'm glad that you explained' says Bun, "why you desire a horse. I se It's for economy." And Putf replies: "Of course. Then too, I've had an urge of late to play an Indian chief. You, Bun. can be my right hand man, if you would Just as lief." L4 .MM a -W m v c NO DISTRESS after eating digestion will be vastly improved. Things will taste better and you will eel better in so many ways. Also, you will find when your system is properly alkaline you are not so susceptible to sickness and colds. That you are no longer troubled with constipation, or with headaches, gas on the stomach. An alkaline balance builds resistance. Ask for Phillips' Milk of Mag nesia, which is the preparation of magnesia prescribed and recom mended by your own doctor for correcting excess acid. 25c and 50c bottles are sold at drugstores everywhere. To avoid the condition of acid mouth, you should use a milk of magnesia toothpaste. Your teeth are worthy of tne best dentifrice. Try Phillips' Dental Magnesia, which contains 75 concentrated Phillips' Milk of Magnesia. OF ESIA NOW PRIESTESSES BUDDHIST ALTARS KYOTO, Japan (AP). Japanese women finally have won the right to become full-fledged Buddhist priestesses. In religious circles this move la regarded as likely to revolutionize the priesthood. Training schools for women priests have been established in Tokyo and Kyoto. The revised regulations apply to temples under the Jurisdiction of the Nlshi-Honbanjl of Kyoto, the largest Buddhist organization In Japan, and the head organization of the Shlnshu sect. ' 1 The priestesses will be allowed to retain their bobbed hair. Instead of having their heads shaved like the men. They may use a touch of face ' powder, too, and perhaps a suggestion of rouge for the lips. But their gowns are restricted to black in order to prevent the pos sible evils of vanity arising from garment decorated with gilt foil or bright colors. Initiative In bringing about iemi- nlne priest was taken several years ago by the Buddhist vyomen's asso ciation of the Nlehi-Honganjl. This same organization has now started a movement for feminine rights generally. STOP USING SODA! BAD FOR STOMACH JUICES Too much soda makes the stomach alkaline and hinders digestion. J. B. Hardy says he took soda for years for sour stomach and gas. It did not stop It. But the simple German remedy. Adlerlka, ended the trouble. Adlerlka washes out BOTH stomach and bowels, removing poison which caused gas btoatlhg, nervousness, bad sleep. Got Adlerlka today: by tomor row you feel results. Heath's Drug Store.
