Humane societies throughout England and the United States are bsarving in various forms the jantenary f the enactment of this ra law for tha protection of eni- Eals from cruelty, which, for the it time in any country, made it . inlawful to abuse animals.

He was a man of infinite person al courage and a duelist of note. But with his courage and dueling proclivities wa a genuine Irish umor, wild and turbulent at times. He always was a lover f animals and disliked ill-treat-iient of them as Intensely as he loved the animals themselves. After introducing his bill, Mar tin was asked to withdraw it so that it could be amended and In troduced at tha following session. Speaking In opposition, one de clared ha could not see why under she terms of tha bill, a punlahment honld not ba affixed to the boiling f lobsters and tha eating of live systers. To all opposition Martin replied srlth more vigorous support and made a strong appeal at the sec ond reading. After his appeal, a rot was taken and the "ayes" stood 29 against 18 "noes." The bill passed ita third reading in the house of commons June 7, 1882. To Martin also belongs the cred it for tha first conviction under the law he fostered.

High Point won thi; contest, 10 to fi, after a veri table slugging battle. The game for a post series ex hibition was far below the aver age. It was merely a slugging match. High Point forced four men across the plate in the initial inning, when McWhorter. who started the game for the Dulls, was yanked.

Uses a last ball which has a good hop on it. Also mixes in a curve and slow ball. Is a good fielder and a pretty fair batsman. , Mays The breaks have been against Mays, the Yankees' ace of 1021. Still has his old time etuff, but has trouble winning. Yankees have done little hitting behind him this year. With his peculiar un derhand delivery he is always a serious menace to a club that has never hit against him. Hoyt The hero of the 1021 se ries has met with uncertain going this year. Like Mays, the breaks have not favored him. Hoyt has everything, including "guts," and is a tough foeman for any club to face. Jones One of the game's best pitchers, who has had a very or dinary season with the Yankees. Possesses all his old time stuff, yet has not been a very healthy win ner.

W. BRANDT Exclusive Distributor for SaUsv burr, and Spencer 222 East Innaa St Pfaone 117 (By Billy Evans) The defection of Phil Douglas, and the utter collapse of Fred Toney, played havoc with the 1922 pitching staff of the New York Giants. In the world series of 1921 the Giants' pitching staff, by its superb work against the Yankees, made McGraw seem well notified. Undoubtedly nobody understood the situation better than McGraw, because during the winter and In the spring he was angling con stantly for pitching strength. Perhaps Fred Toney's showing in the big series convinced Mc Graw that he was through. How ever, Bob Shawkey of the Yankees met with no better success than creatures which usually are kept Toney, and Bob has gone great for for the use of man," Martin's act Is recognized as the first law ex pressly forbidding ill-treatment of animals. Two years after the passage of tha act, Martin and some of his friends, realizing the law would be the American Leaguers this year. No Better Pitcher There is no better pitcher in baseball than the erratic Phil Douglas. McGraw realized what a difficult matter it was to keep uougias in nis winning ways. valueless without proper enforce- mi1 in ine year Douglas was ment, organized the Society for ve,7 successful, then came the the Prevention of (Cruelty to Ani- c'sh thflt Put the big pitcher out mats, Queen Victoria later giving her approval to the addition of the word "Royal" to the title.

KO BAN ON BOBBED HAIR IN WOOSTER of organized ball, Fred Toney won 18 games for GIANTS TAKE FIRMER HOLD ON NATIONAL LEAGUE PENNANT the Giants last year. Incidentally ho was a great man to have around to finish games. Douglas won 15 starts. His deceptive spit ball also mad? him an ide; ! pitcher to finish a game when some pitch er faltered. McGraw has been forced to go along without these pitchers a greater part of the season. Toney, from the start, was of little or no use. Douglas pitched remarkable ball in spots'. All Kinds of Trades Artie Nehf. McGraw'a great lit tle southpaw, has continued winning ways. However, to bolster up the rest of the staff, McGraw has resorted to all kinds of trades and sales. Good work by Ryan, who scarce ly was listed as a regular last sea son, has helped. The purchase of McQuillan from Boston also was a master stroke. In dire extremity McGraw even resurrected John Scott, released by Cincinnati be cause it was believed a bad arm had ended his pitching days for all time. If the Giants represent the Na tional League in the world series this fall pitching will be the big is sue with McGraw. It has been his big woe all season. National League. New York 7; Cincinnati 2.

BASEBAL.L RESULTS I have never seen better twirling than that delivered by Phil Doug las last fall. In making such a statement I am taking into consideration the remarkable feats of Mathewson, Brown, Babe Adams, Faber, Ben der, Plank and many other stars of olden days. Douglas certainly was McGraw's ace in the clash of last year. He his will be greatly missed if the Giants win the nght to play in the 1922 event. Ask the Yankees If you have your doubts as to Douglas' work last fall just con fer with any member of the New York Yankees. They all have a wholesome regard for his prowess. The big mountaineer worked three great games against the Yankees, one a defeat, two of them victories. He was the man who saved the day for the Giants when the Yankees were riding high. Pitching has been, and still is, McGraw's big problem . It is a difficult matter to compute what the loss of Douglas means to the Giants. American League. Detroit 11; Washington 5.
