How to Remove Cistern Odor
Usually, cisterns should be cleaned
once a year and thoroughly washed
down so that slime does not collect
on the walls. If the odor Is present,
it can be removed or at least greatly
helped by putting about 50 pounds
of charcoal broken up into small
lumps in a flour sack. Tie the top
of the sack and hang it in the cis
tern, moving it about occasionally
during a day or two, after which it
can b? removed. The charcoal will
absorb a good many of the tastes
and odors of the cistern water.

American league
Starts Thinking
(By Bklpper)
And the echoes of the all-8tar major
league ball guine are resounding over
the baaebull world. We believe that
the American league, magnates who
wanted to abaudou the all-?tar event
because they felt the National league
was an Inferior organization, will realise
now that the National Is still a
major loop and will be forced to continue
the anuual classic.
But above all, we know that'American
league will take this all-star tilt
In real seriousness another year. The
trouble this year Is that the magnates
of the American loop really believed
all that the magazines had beeu saying
about the National league __h?|njj
an Inferior organization. They prepared
for the game that way. And.
I'll explain why.
They Ignored Hal Trosky, Cleveland
11 rat baseman and second leading
hitter In the American leagueHank
Greonberg, one of the leaders'
In runs batted In and a home run
clouter, was not in the lineup. Ureenbuerg
definitely refused to go to Clncinattl
because he felt he would not
get u chance to play. And could tho
American league team use him as a
pinch hitter>
It happened that the vital bluudei
of the game was turned In by Lou
Gehrig. It came in the seventh inning.
With Frank McCormick on first, Leo
Durocher laid down a bunt. Jimmy
Foxx who had been shifted from first
to third to make room for Larruping.
Lou fielded the bunt perfectly. Ge-i
hringer had fielded his position per-i
fectly us he was looking for a hit andj
run play. Gehrig rushed in to cover
a bunt down the first base line. Consequently
there was 110 one at first
for Foxx to peg to. Foxx held the
ball until he saw Gehringer dash for
the sack and let fly with a perfect
throw. Gehringer did not get there
in time and so the records reveal the
Detroiter as the goat. But that is far
i'rotn the actual fact for it happens
that Gehrig was tho goat. He rushed
in to cover a bunt but failed to got
back to his first base position when
the bunt went down the third base
line.
New York sport writers have tried
to make Gehringer the goat, declaring
him to be "the perfect player who
failed." Other sport writers point out
that Gehringer was farther away from
first than Gehrig when he tried to get
to the bag. At least he tried. Gehrig
stood flatfooted.
So, there were Tro&ky and Greenberg,
two high class first basemen,
who were not in the lineup. And Red
Rollfe, Yankee third baseman, sat on
the bench when Foxx went to third.
Rolfe, by the way, was the star in
last year's game.
Truly, the ways of basebal lmanagers
are strange and in 1938 all-star
event, the American league team lineplate.
VOTING FOR ALL-STARS TO
BATTLE PROFESSIONALS!
to
(By Skipper)
The annual all-star-professional
football classic, to be held at Soldiers
Field in Chicago, on August 31, Is already
attracting the attention of eastern
and mid-western sport writers who
are giving the makeup of the all-star
lineup bf the all-stars.
As yet scarcely any mention has
appeared in the papers that circulate!
In Camden, altho the nation-wide pop-j
ularity contest to determine the
makeup of the all-star team has been;
under way for nearly a week.
This poll Is taken over a two weeks
period and the eleven collegians receiving
the highest number of votes
at each position, will make up the
starting lineup against tho professionals.
The only restriction in choices
Is that tho players must have been
seniors last year.
The 1938 rivals will square away)
with records showing one. win apiece
and two ties. In 1934 the all-stars
held the Chicago Bears to a scoreless
tie. The next year the Bears won 5
to 0. In 1936 the all-stars tied the.
Piedmont Lions 7 to 7. and last year
defeated the Green Bay Packers 6
to 0 on Sammy Baugh's pass to Gayj
nell Tlnsley.
This year Baugh will again be
! pitching passes but as a professional.
1 Against the Washington professional
team, winners of the pro league
title last year, the fans will have their
choice of such 1937 All-Americans as

Matlsti, of Pittsburgh, tackles; Mon|

Sinclair Trims Merchant Team |
The HIiuIuIih and Merchants staged
a scrappy soft ball battio on the local
pastime pasture lust Thursday, the
OH gang using smart baseball to win
3 to 1.
One Inning, In which the Merchant's
staged their customary baft of errors,
was all that the Hinclairs needed toj
win. Two runs came home In that
spasm. With two down Heck Russell
beat out an infield hit by a split second.
Derrick singled and Heck who
had stolen second and was safe at1
third when Lynch dropped the ball,)
came home. Hell drove a long fly to
left which Glyburn let get past him
and Derrick scored, Hell stopping at
second. Lightfoot tried to bring Hell
home but popped weakly to Haynes. j
The Oilers made another run for.
good measure in the Bixth on another
brace of errors. With one down Derrick
was safe on Ooodule's second
boot of the game. Hell popped to
Goodale and Lightfoot singled. Lightfoot
sturt?d for second on the next
ball, pitched and Williams pegged badly
to catch him and Derrick romped'
home. Nolan flew out to center to
retire the side. " ,
The Merchant's scored their lone
tally in the fourth inning. With one
down, Lynch singled and went to second
when Nettlos poked out a flukey
hit to right. Russell tried to catch
Lynch at third and threw wild, Lynch
scoring and Nettles going to third.
Goodale lifted a pop fly to Russell
and Mosoley popped to Llghtfoot at
short.
The Merchant's started a rally In
the last inning, when with one down,
Goodale singled. Moseley dropped a
long fly to short center which Gregory
gathered in. Kowell singled to
right and Goodale went to second.
Haynes was at bat when Goodale carelessly
drifted off the second bag be-j
fore the pitch and was called out.!
That ended the ball game. '[
The score: R h E'
Sinclairs 3 5 1
Merchants 1 7 4
Batteries: Russel and Plyler;
Haynes and Williams.
Kendall Defeat Wolves j
An alert aggressive Kendall Hornet1
outfit stung the Wolves last Friday1
evening in a city softball league encounter
by a 6 to 2 score.
The Hornets bunched hits in two
innings, the second and sixth and put
over three markers in each. In the
other innings the Wolf defense worked
perfectly and with Rhame strutting
his stuff 011 the hill, the Mill gang
were helpless.
On the other hand the Wolves were
off on their swat power and could connect
with Bill Reeves, Hornet hurler,
but five times. One of the blows was
a triple by West and scored the lone
two runs of the Wall Street crew.
The Hornets appeared in their new
jerseys and looked like a dream ball
club. In fact, the picture of the teams
in action was highly pleasing, there
being such a marked yet effective contrast
to the Arabian patrol outfit of
the Wolves and the colors worn by j
the Hornets.
To keep the playing area free of
spectators, the city had an officer on"
duty. Players were able to field Toul
flies without falling over spectators.
The bureau of recreation will have
this police supervision in all'future
games.
The score: R H E
Kendall Mills ..........611 l
Wolves 5 2
Batteries: B. Reeves and E. Reeves;
Rhame and Nettles.

Rotary And Kiwanis
Will Tangle Again
(By Skipper)
Well, folks, they've done gone and
done it. Those Kiwanians, smarting
under that 22 to 7 defeat handed out
to them a week ago by the Rotary
baseballors, have challenged the Rotary
for a return engagement and on
top of it all have promised the tribe
of Basil Bruce a tasty licking this
time.
And so the Bureau of Recreation
has scheduled tlfc fracas for next
Thursday, July 21st, insuring the
baseball fans and social eclat of the
community another thrilling spectacle,
featuring Leq Little's Scotch
breetches and some classy sprinting
by Messrs McLeod and Schlosburg.
Manager Creed and Captain Tommy
Bruce of the Kiwanis team are
emphatic in their statements that this
time the shoe will be on the other
foot qjul it will be the victory march
for the Kiwanians. Manager Bruce of
the Rotarians asserts that the. shoe
may be on the other foot but it will
be the wrong size shoe and will pinch
the tootsies of the Kiwanians.
