took nearly 60 seconds off the record in
the three-mile run. He did the distance
in 16:02 2-6 and the old record was 16.50.

New Outfielder to Be Se
cured—Knaupp Goes to
Cleveland
To bolster his faltering Pelicans,
Johnny Dobbs is searching for a heavy
bitting outfielder, batting from the
right-hand side of the plate. The New
[Orleans pilot is dissatisfied with his
outfield and declares that he is dick
ering for the services of a right-hand
ed gardener. At present, neither Burns,
Hendryx, Sylvester nor Northen ts
I hitting around the .300 mark and the
offensive strength of the Pels is at a
low ebb.
"While I have nothing material to
offer,” said the Pel leader. "I expect
to make a change in the outfield soon.
The fact that I have too many left
handed hitters is obvious, and if l
get this new man he will slug from
th% other side. At present the Pels
are suffering from a slump but I be
lieve that it is only momentary.”
Shortstop Knaupp, who was returned
to the Pels from Montgomery, will not
be retained by the New Orleans club.
In view of the tense situation at
Cleveland, resulting from the failure
of Bisland or Olson to fill Chapman's
position at short, Knuapp was sent to
Cleveland for a trial. There is a pos
sibility of the former Bllllken being
shifted to the American association
Cleveland team or to the Portland club
In the Pacific Coast league.
POINTS TO DANGER
OF CIGARETTES
Herbert L. Walker Outlines Plans of
Free Clinic to Be Held in
Birmingham
Herbert L. Walker, field secretary of the
Alabama Anti-Cigarette league, yesterday
issued the, following statement:
"Cigarette smoking Is the most injuri
ous way of using tobacco. In addition
to the nicotine ae found three deadly
poisons, either of which Is quite as in
jurious as the nicotine of the cigar or
pipe. These poisons are the two deadly
aldehydes, furfural and acrolein and
also carbon monoxide. These, together
with the nicotine forms a poisonous oil
in the blood. They weaken and destroy
the little warriors against the germs of
disease—the white eorpustles of the blood
—and thus give victory to germs of tu
berculosis, etc. What Is needed more
than other preventives, as drinking cups,
etc., Is a healthy, normal white eorpustle
In the blood. The greatest fountain of
tuberculosis outside of the weataiess
caused by hereditary is cigarette smok
ing. This poisonous oil produced in the
blood by the poisons mentioned above
kill the medicine largely in cases of
typhoid fever, blood poison, pneumonia,
etc., the patient Is helpless and prema
ture death results.
"The cigarette blunts the mind. These
poisons feed on the tissues of the brain.
If the heart or lungs or some other vital
organ does not give out first he will go
crazy. Fortunately, as this is worse
than death, the heart often gives up the
battle first, some otherwise harmless
disease takes hold and cuts off from 10
to 40 or more years of the life. It Is
practically Impossible to educate the
cigarette smoking boy. He cannot con
centrate on Ills lessons the mind that Is
in the tobacco sack or rolled up In rice
paper, it causes more 'qultuatea' than
anything else, not excepting poverty,
among boys.
It Is a moral blight. Most little boys
who smoko will story to the mother and
before the grand Jury will lie about
where he got them. To stop this In
sidious habit will, no doubt, mean heaven
to many as well n* lengthened lives,
good positions and education. ‘ The Antl
Clgarette League of America was organ
ized about 14. years ago to wage war
against this evil. The present field sec
retary was commissioned to this work
in Alabama the first day of last year.
We publish 'The Boy and Home,' our
state paper, quarterly at Birmingham,
our state headquarters. Since the first
day of January, 1914, the secretary has
lectured In the churches and schools In
18 counties. Over 13,400 young people
have lined up never to smoke, dip nor
drink. Our league carries the total ab
stinence feature of the drink problem.
We also pledge young people not to use
tobacco in any form at least until 21
years old.
"The league encourages the enforce
ment of the law forbidding the sale or
giving to minors in Alabama cigarettes,
cigarette papers, cigarette tobaeeo or a
substitute for either of them. We alRO
are working for the enactment of a law
to stop the manufacture and sale of
cigarettes or papers In Alabama. Six
states have such laws.
"The free clinic Is only Incidental with
our other work. We only propose to help
those who have enough will power to un
dertake to quit and cut out the habit.
We do not manufacture that article—will
power. Nor do we give the treatment
secretly. The only hope for those who
will not will to quit Is the casket.
“The free clinic will be found from
Juno 15 to 20 In Birmingham at the fol
lowing offices:

“Big Four” No Match for
Europeans and Meet Over
whelming Defeat—Final
Score 8 1-2 to 3
Meadowbrook Polo Club, June 14.
(Westbury, L. I., June 13.)—The Amer
ican team went to defeat here today t>e
fore the English challengers In the first
game of the match for the International
polo cup by a score of 8*,fc to 3. After the
first flurry in the opening period the de
fending four were outplayed and out
sprinted by the Hurllngham club repre
sentatives and the English ponies.
The defeat came as a great surprise to
most of the 40.000 spectators who had
made the defenders 10 to 7 favorites in
the wagering. They were quick lo ap
preciate the brilliant play of the Invaders,
however, and the stands rang with ap
plause at the work of the English riders.
The English players’ superiority became
apparent with the bell in the opening
period, and it appeared to upset the de
fending four, which never recovered the
form shown in recent practice games until
tho closing minutes of the game The
challengers gave the finest exhibition of
Learn work ever see;, in an invading four.
Their stick work was a revelation.
The American four was weaker than
was the case last year and in addition
was called on to face a team which
surpassed in skill and speed the com
bination which just failed to lift the
cup In 1913.
The absence of former Captain Har
ry Payne Whitney appeared to break
up the perfect combination play for
which the ‘‘big four” has been noted.
The Americans overrode the ball,
missed easy strokes and were easily
ridden off by other English opponents.
The English ponies were faster on their
feet and better handled.
The play in general w’as fast and
without accidents. The score was the
largest run up in recent years by either
United States or English teams in a
cup match.
Not since the "big four" defeated
the Hurllngham club 8 to 2 in the final
game of the 1909 series have today’s
figures been exceeded. The game also
developed the quickets goal ever made
in international cup play when Captain
Cheap© scored within 10 seconds after
the throw in at the beginning of the
fourth period.
First period: The English demanded
the south goal. Larry Waterbury picked
the ball out of the scrimmage, but
Captain Tomkinson quickly took the
ball and drove it for a goal 50 sec
onds after the start. Cheape, after
goals had been changed, scored a sec
ond goal for the English. The play
wag entirely on the American end. Dev
ereaux Milburn took a cropper over
his mount's head, but he was unin
jured. The Britishers' back hand
strokes were superb.
Total score end first period:
England 2, America 0.
Americans Lose
Second period: Lamontagne and
Monty Waterbury missed easy goals
at the outset. The English, carried the
ball the full length of the field, but
Cheape missed by a narrow squeak.
Milburn saved tho situation by riding
the English captain off. Captain Monty
Waterbury then scored America's first
goal after a scriinmugv* which cov
ered the length of the field.
Total score end second period: Eng
land l1^, America 1. England lost half
a goal on a foul by Cheape on Monty
Waterbury.
Third period: The English claim of
foul also was allowed, cutting Amer
ica's score to half. Tomkinson scored.
Barret, England, whs penalized for
fouling.
Total score end third period: Eng
land 2^6, America V6
Fourth Round
A quarter was deducted from Eng
lish score for safety. Cheape soon ad
ded a point, however, by another goal.
Monty Waterbury scored the second
American goal. Again the English
scored. This time Captain Lockett
drove the hall over.
Total score end fourth period: England
4%: America 1*6
Fifth period: Milling up and down the
field, mostly near tie American goal,
marked more than half of the fifth pe
riod. Larry Waterbury broke his mallet.
The English ponies outstripped the na
tive mounts on nearly every sprint. In
a Jam at the posts the English scored
another point. Tomkinson drove the ball
through Total score, end of fifth period:
England 5*4, America 1*£.
Sixth period' La Montagne lofted the
ball for 75 yards, but missed. Monty Wa
terbury carried the hall three-quarters
the length of the field for a goal. Cap
tain Cheape scored for the English Just
before the whistle. Total score end sixth
period: England 6*4; America 2H
Seventh period: Fouls by both sides,
committed in the previous period, by
Larry Waterbury and Barrett, respective
ly, deducted half point from each score.
Cheape scored after the English had car
ried the ball nearly the whole lenght of
the field. Tt. was great teamwork.
The Americans began playing desperate
ly and to some extent the teamwork im
proved. Monty Waterbury drove for
what appeared a sure gooj. but Ix>ckett
made a safety in order to prevent Water
bury scoring, cutting the English score
by a quarter point. Total score end of
seventh period: England 6*4. America 2.
Last period: Ix>ckett scored after 53
seconds of play; Tomfilnson scored. The
Americans appeared demoralized. Milburn
finally succeeded in adding another goal
to the slim American column. The Amer
icans were fighting fiercely now and the
crowd was silent.
