RIgM of Way T seems like pretty smooth sailing; when you get a clear line and have a tele phone talk with a party in another city a thousand miles away. You see nothing of the wonderful switchboards where skillful operators handle your call and the lines are "hooked up" to give your talk the right of way over two thousand miles of copper wire, guarded every inch of the way from all kinds of interference. You scarcely realize that during every moment of your thousand-mile telephone talk, telephone apparatus and plant valued at from $150,000 to $200,000 are at your exclusive service. In the Bell Telephone System 26,000,000 connections are made daily, giving clear tracks for the telephone talk of the nation and requiring over one billion dol lars worth of telephone equipment.

Denver at Lincoln, two games. Des Moines at SL Joseph, two games Sioux City at Omaha, two games. Two games wilt be played by every team on the circuit Monday. Wichita will be the attraction in Topeka and both games will be played in the af ternoon. The first will be called at 2 o'clock. McCollough's performance in the opening game with Denver proves that Gear made another good pick. Gear has always contended that the Nebraska League youngster had the goods and all that was necessary to make him a top notch pitcher was control. He was wild Friday, but not as bad on other occasions. One or two more victories will give him con fidence and this will help him gain control, and then look out. The Denver club, even though it has a big lead, is in some danger. We will confess that the conditions are not alarming, but Des Moines is not out of the running. The Denver club is in worse condition on this occasion than at any time during the season. Ben Harris is just about as good as they have at the present time. Hager man and King are not with the team on account of sickness and injuries. Red Wolfgang has an Injured finger on hia pitching hand, Barney Schreib er has been hanging on the ragged edges all season. Gilbert, a White Sox recruit, is the best hope left to the Bears for the series in Topeka. On the other hand, the Des Moines club is going good, the pitchers are in excellent condition and the goose hangs high. The Boosters may be successful in overtaking the Bears within the next few days, but there are grave doubts concerning their abil ity to keep ahead of the Bears, if the later e pitcher get going again. Carlo Smith is about due to resume operations in left garden. He has j been working out during the last few days and his services would strength en the batting order, although Bill Kapps has been burning the bridges behind him during the last few days. Polly McLarry has been on a bat ting rampage. Friday was the first time he had failed to get a eaft hit since August 4. He has played ln 26 games since that time. Forsythe's shoulder is Improving and will soon be in normal condition. The sun fielder has been slacking up in his pace on the bases recently, fearing another injury which would put him out of the game and he real ized that would be disastrous to the team at this time. The deal for the Denver team to Eddie Smith is still pendnlg and Mc Gill and the proposed purchaser are getting eloper but there is nothing do ing yet. They scoff at the Idea that Smith will use the money of George Tebeau. WILLARD'S FATAL BLOW MAY KILL BOXING IN CALIFORNIA Los Angeles, Aug. 30. The death of "Bull"' Young, following hia fight with Jess Willard at the Vernon arena last week may mean the death cf box ing in California. Since th fatal com bat there has arisen a strong public sentiment against fighting ln th state, and doubtless at the next ses sion of the legislature a bill will be introduced abolishing boxing altogether. Remove the Cause HEADACHE Produced by overwork or worry, by. Summer heat, ner vousness or indigestion by taking Horsford s Acid Phos phate, a healthful refreshing: tonic widely recommended by physicians. Hereford's Acid Phosphate (Non-Alcoholic) Jess WiiJard. follow- doubt- The serious consetiuenccs ing the Willard-Young scrap less will lead to a more careful match ing of heavyweights hereafter. Young, big and burly, was a joker as a boxer. He hardly knew how to assume a box ing pose. McCarey, it is agreed, should have had more wisdom than tc put him in the ring with Willard. McCarey now has two heavyweight bouts carded for Los Angeles, one on Seotember 23. when Arthur Pelky i booked to meet Charley Miller, and tho other on October 7, when Sam Langford and Joe Jeannette are due to get together. But Pelky has al ready declared his battle off, and no one will be surprised if McCarey post pones the Jeannette-Langford scrap
