VICTORIOUS IN INTERESTING GAME OF BASEBALL YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AT ARMY BARRACKS
One of the most exciting baseball games of the season was witnessed yesterday afternoon on the Army barracks diamond, when the Coast Guard aggregation won over the Liberties, a local civilian team, in a close score of 3 to 2.
CONSTANTINOPLE—Turkish women are exhorted by the Constantinople daily, “The Republic,” not to adopt amidst all their new western practices, the Anglo-Saxon woman’s “soldierly stride.’’ The sheet devoted to women, a recent innovation of this newspaper, lays down the following rules as to the proper method of walking for the ladylike:
“Do not drag your set, but slide them gently along the pavement. Do not waddle from side to side or move your shoulders or swing your arms. Take short, dainty steps —a long stride is unlovely in women— and above all, don’t rush. Keep your eyes on a high point directly ahead of you and appear to see nothihg.”
Former Baker Has Good Chance Now To Handle Dough Of Much Better Class
NEW YORK, March 20.—Johnny Risko of Cleveland, who pulled his hands out of the dough pan and pushed them into a pair of boxing gloves not so long ago, today has a good chance to put his hands on dough of another kind.
The former baker last night battered the light heavyweight boxing champion, Paul Berlenbach almost into insensibility in a 10-round scuffle at Madison Square Garden. No championship was at stake, but Berlenbach was trying his art on the heavyweight ranks for the first time with the intention of reaching for Jack Dempsey’s crown.
Berlenbach lasted through the fight with difficulty. He hit the canvas in the first and second rounds but held his feet for the remainder of the bout, a very weary man. Often he scored to his adversary’s head but there was no damage.
A pile-driving left was flung at Berlenbach time and again and several times it landed, carrying everything before it. But after the flurry of the opening rounds it lost its direction.
Berlenbach, by state commission rules, had to make the weight of his class. He weighed 174 1/2 and Risko 190.

Ken Cooper Takes Bronco Riding Contest From Large Field
Mandan. N. D.. July 6.—Ken Cooper of Fort Pierre, S. D., early yesterday morning was adjudged winner of the broncho riding contests at the Mandan roundup, which came to a close Saturday.
Due to the almost perfect riding of a dozen cowboys on the wildest aggregation of outlaw horses ever seen in the northwest, the judges had a difficult time in grading the winners. Ken Davis of Amidon, N. D., drew second money and Happy Holander, Marmarth, N. D., took third with Chick Hannan, Miles City, Mont., fourth.
Hannan also won first in the bull-dogging contest, his time being 42 and 25 seconds respectively on two steers. Jim Massey of Fort Worth, Texas, took second money and Gladys Wilson, Wortham, Texas, third.
Keaton and Koski Opposing Twirlers in City League Game Tomorrow.
The Moose and Elks are scheduled to play at 2 p. m. tomorrow afternoon at City Park. Keaton is billed to hurl for the Bills and Koski will probably occupy the mound for the Moose.
Although the Elks will be crippled by the absence of Bobby Coughlin, star backstop of the league, they are confident of maintaining their winning stride. With five straight victories under their belt they have visions of leading the league in a short time and expect to climb another notch tomorrow.
