MAYO'S WARNING TO GIRLS Los Angeles, Cal., May 3.--Wom- en are sacrificing the shape of their legs on an altar of high heels in the opinion of Dr. Charles Mayo, famous surgeon of Rochester, Minn. Dr. Mayo is in Los Angeles on a vacation. "Ladies' legs are really an inter- esting study nowadays." said the noted surgeon. "They're losing their calves. Why, these high-heel- ed shoes they're wearing are chang- ing completely the shape of their legs. "You known, after watching thenr walking on their high heels, I made an experiment some time ago. I took several thick cork blocks and strapped them under my Jown heels and tried walking on them--Ilike the ladies do. "I found that it made my calves absolutely useless. In other words, the ladies, by using high-heeled shoes, are gradually atrophying their calves. And you can see for yourself what it's doing to their legs." . Women also are getting shorter, according to the doctor. "They ride im automobiles too much," he explained. "So, mot walking, they get shorter. And be- cause they're getting shorter, they're wearing higher heels so they can walle beside their mes." | Leafs by Ninth Inning Rally Deteat Newark 'Toronto, May 4.--Practically the only thing wr with the sport of baseball as the Newark Bears see it, is that a game doesn't end at the cighth inn Yesterday, for in. stance, the Bruins were riding easily on the crest of a 3 to 2 lead when the Leafs started their last turn at bat, and they appeared to be headed toward a victory. Al Mamaux car- ried a broad smile, so did George McBride, Sir Walter Johnson's un- derstudy, and also the Newark para- raphers sitting in the lofty press ox. They were certain they were going to be able to send the fans down home some theeting news. Suddenly, there was a loud explo- sion. It was Dale Anexander rattl- ing the fence out in right with a mighty triple, Before the ball was shot back to the infield the Interna- tional "King of Swat" was hugging third base. It was a beautiful hit and as a result there did not seem to be a chance in the world of pre- venting the Leafs putting over the tying run. There wasn't either, urke os T! h Bucky Burke saw to that. He scor- ched a single between old Jake Four- nier's legs, Alex. easily scoring and the first man was yet to be retired. Freddie Bedore, Xb had taken up the shortfield chore after Claude Sat- terfield had batted for Warren Cote in the seventh, shot a single to right and Burke reached second, but when he tried to score on Eddie Phillips slashing single through short, Gerald Fitzgerald, youthful left-fielder of the Bruins, cut him down at the plate with a beautiful throw, Bedore going to third. Erwin Sexton was sent in to hit for Abe Martin, the utility outfielder responding to the vote of confidence with a long drive to Lee in deep right and Bedore carried across the winning run after the catch, making the final score at 4-3, and putting the Leafs in first place in the league standing, half a game ahead of Ro- chester Red Wings, who lost to Jer- sey City, It was a real finish to another well played game and sent Al Mamaux, the same pitcher who had humbled the Leafs 6-0 at Newark, down to defeat. The Leafs raked the veter- an's fast ball for twelve hits, two of them doubles and Alexander's three- base wallop, Nine of the twelve hits were registered after the fourth in- ning, the songbird being more or less cffective up to the fifth. Great is Alexander ' Alexander shared in a large part o the glory. It was his double that sent Sheedy in with the Leaf's first run in the second inning and of course it was his triple that opened up the big ninth, Eddie illips nicked Mam- YOUR GUESTS DO!
