WHEN THE I'ROST IS ON THE HIGHBALL.
(With such apologies as may be apropos.)
When the frost is on the highball and the Julep is in hock.
When you have to keep your "lieker" well protected under lock;
AVhen the corkscrew's out of fashion and the mint bed's gone to grass,
And a sip of sody water is the strongest stuff they pass—
-11 the time is then a feller 'bout the first of old July
"Will be chasin' in a circle with his tongue a-hangin' dry,
.As he starts out for his toddy and discovers with a shock
When the frost is on the highball and the julep is in hock.
Farewell to "mornin's mornin" and to "night caps," too, farewell;
Farewell to days of frolic and to nights of ralsinel;
The stubble's in the rye patch and it's still around the still.
And the glasses' clink is mournful as the wallin' whip-o-wills;
The colonel's up agin it and his spirit sinks because
The sinkin' down of spirits will soon be agin the laws;
He'll still dream of his toddy, but he'll wake up with a shock
When thte frost is on thte highball and the julep is in hock.
As long as an umpire has authority to put a ball player off the field
and report his offense to a league president for punishment there isn't the
slightest reason left for any verbal entanglement with the players. The
tough part of the system is that an umpire is no good without authority,
and yet with complete authority many of them get far worse than the
players ever were.
NEW ENTRIES
year Hal Chase led the National League at bat. As a rule, it is
some veteran who sets the way—a Cobb, a Speaker, a Chase, a Wagner or
a Daubert.
Among those figured on for league leadership in the National this year
were Chase, Daubert, Burns, Robertson or Hornsby. Yet here at the blaz
ing edge of July the two top places are held by two Cardinals—Cruise and
Smith —not even entered in the betting.
Cruise has been rambling along at a remarkably steady pace all season,
but the roughest part of the trip is still ahead, through July and August.
At this date last summer Dave Robertson was batting .351, but Dave had
a hard time beating .300 at the finish.
The main test of batting comes only after a slump. Only the chosen
few can rally and get going again after a fortnight of futile swinging.
THE TRAPPE TERROR
John Franklin Baker hasn't been able to get back above .300 since he
quit farm life for the Yanks. He finished last season around .270, and he
has spent the greater part of this season under .260.
But in the last two weeks the Trappe Terror has resumed where he
loft off in 1914. In these two weeks his mark has been something over
.400 and he has been swinging away with his oldtime power and confidence.
Baker is possessed of a yearning desire to bat over .300 again.
He would esteem it more than passing bliss to regain the old heights
and he believes now that he is on the way. He is only a point or two
under .200, which represents a big increase over his first two months.
NOT EVEN A WEEK
As Old Charley Towne puts it, they are not even giving kings and czars
the customary two weeks' notice just now.
It is hard to say which is the toughest job—being. Czar of Russia, King
of Greece or president of the National League.
NOT NEARLY ALWAYS
No, you can't always tell. Sometimes you can't'even tell sometimes.
When the season opened the Red Sox were supposed to carry their greatest
strength in the box, with Ruth, Leonard, Shore and Mays on the first line,
and with Foster and Pennock in reserve.
In place of which the Red Sox have drawn their greatest trouble in the
box. The rest of the club has been as good as ever. The pitching alone has
faltered.
YOU MAY KNOW
A golfer missed a 12-inch pytt;
His brow was furrowed in a rut;
At last he spoke in accents clear—
Just what I cannot tell you here.
"No man or horse is so good that he isn't beaten at one time or another "
casually remarks an exchange. How about Colin?
In the v.-ay of Red Cross golf competitions, how about an East-Wet
affair, with Jerry Travers and Francis Ouimet sent against Chick Evans
and Bob Gardner? The Westerners won in 1915 at Detroit, but a return
card would be among the season s classic. The next move is now in order

r P&NIST saoyETHl
Boston, June 25.—A no-hlt, no
run, no man reached first base pitch
ing performance by Ernest Shore,
Boston twirler, an assault upon Um
pire Owens by "Babe" Ruth, another
Boston pitcher, in which the impire
was struck behind the oar, and the
defeat of Walter Johnson by
"Dutch" Leonard, were incidents of
the world champions' double victory
over Washington Saturday. The
scores were 4 to 0 and 5 to 0.
Shore's entry into the select list
of pitchers who have shown perfect j
performances was made possible by
Ruth's banishment from the first
game. Ruth had pitched only to
Ray Morgan, and Umpire Owens had
given the latter his base on balls.
Ruth argued the decision, the um
pire ordered him off the field, and
the Boston pitcher then struck at
Owens. Other players intervened,
and Ruth left the field.
Shore was called in, with Morgan
on first base, but a moment later the
latter was thrown out attempting to
steal second. Thereafter the Boston
pitcher and his fielders turned back
every Washington batsman. Ayres.
who pitched for Washington, was
hit hard.

lips, showing where the revolver had
been held, was found on a couch.
The body of the man lay, face down
ward, on the bed. There were no
signs of violence upon him, although
his lips were marked and his hands
clutched the sheets, as if from a
death struggle.
The couple came from New York
cn Saturday. At the apartment house
at which they resided, it was said
they left to be married. When found,
I the woman was wearing a weddim;
, ring, but no marriage license or cer
' tlflcate was found among the effects
of the couple.
The man, know'n as Fred. Alexan
der, the name under which he regis
j tered at the Bellevue-Stratford, is be-
I lieved by persons at the New York

Dauphin Division First to
Subscribe to Liberty Bonds
Harrisburg, Ja., June 23, 1917.
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
"Dauphin Division No. 143, Order
of Railway Conductors, of this city,
is credited with being the first lodge
or division of any labor organization
in this country to make application
for 'Liberty Loan' bonds, which they
did undetvdate of June 4.
"Perhaps, in the near future, this
division may be able to take more
and help a good cause along. While
this is a mark of patriotism, it is
looked upon by the conductors as a
duty also.
"While the conductors are not
able to furnish many men in defenss
of the country because of the age
limit, they desire to show their
willingness to help by taking bonds,
and by keeping the wheels turning,
which transport the many things to
and fro so necessary to carry on the
war and to feed humanity at home
and abroad. Stop the wheels of the
locomotive and the world stands
still.
"W. F. GARMAN,
"1606 Penn Street."

For Columbia Bridge
Contracts have been awarded by
the Philadelphia and Reading Rail
way for the construction of a new
concrete arch bridge to replace ex

building and repairing of many
bridges along its various lines, but
the Columbia Bridge is the largest
of the improvements being made.

automobiles and trolley cars, young
women caught In a blazing factory
fire, railroad employes losing arms

Wilson, by executive order to-day
created an exports emMargo council
to administer the export embargo
provisions of the espionage act.
By the administration of embar
goes through this council the na

for the successful prosecution of the
war and also to prevent supplies
reaching Germany through neutrals.

secretary of commerce the executive
administration of all instructions to

controlled to a large extent under
the act. A plan for rationing the
European neutral countries has been
worked out and will be put into ef
fect immediately. Secretary Redfield
said to-day his department would
have the act in operation within for
ty-eight hours.

/"■' ' M: -
Mrs. Mary Grill, a well-known
Shiliington, Pa., woman, whose hus
band is employed in the Philadel
phia subtrcasury, is now an ardent
advocate of the master medicine.
She says, "For a long time I had
suffered from nervous and stomach
trouble. I had gastritis in a par
ticularly severe form and my sys
tem was in a generally debilitated
and run down condition.
"I didn't cat well and I was so
nervous that I could only sleep in
snatches. 1 was tired and worn out
and on the very verge of a complete
breakdown. .
"I had tried a number of medi
cines without any result and X was
in despair when I read about one
of our local people who had been
greatly benefited by Tanlac and this
induced me to try it.
"It certainly helped me from the.
very first and it was only a very
short time until I saw a marked im
provement in my condition. My ap
petite returned and now is live and
healthy; my nerves grew stronger
and I feel now that my whole sys
tem has been wonderfully invigorat
ed."
Tanlac, the famouj reconstructive
tonic, is now being introduced here
at Gorgas' drug store, where the
Tanlac man is meeting the people
and explaining the merits of this
master medicine.
Tanlac is sold also at the Gorgas
