The average woman who attends the
ball games does not know much about
scoring. She merely keeps a record of
the outs and runs by marking the figure
80 opposite the names Of the players
who make them, while a zero fills all
other spaces on the score card Such q
thing as distinguishing between base
hits and errors is far too pulling to be
thought of. But there are some who can
score a. well as the most accomplished
critics

wife of the famous Chicago captain,
was the official scorer OF the club, and
some people were cruel enough to say
that she gave FAnse'' the benefit of the
doubt to such an extent that ne easily

Rescue or VirEinia's Historic shrtness
From a condition threatening an al
most total obIiteration Of much that IS
most desirable to cherish for reasons Of
history and Of a Just pride of lineage the
women of Virginia are now coming to
the rescue They are doing what they
can to save historic houses, to keep in
tact churches that have survived from
the colonial period, to restore and pre-
serve inscriptions in churchyards and
cemeteries, to collect and insure the pres
ervation of parish and county records
and other interesting manuscripts and
documents, TO find and keep the furni-
<ure and household effects Of the olden
time and IN short to save every thing of
antiquarian significance. When due re-
gret has been expressed for all that was
destroyed beyond recovery from 1860 TO
1865, and for che far greater loss due to
the neglect during the 20 years follow
ing the war, It is still true that Virginia
is yet marve1ously rich in surviving
historical subjects and materials The
task of checking the further process Of
destruction Is one in which the daugh-
tiers Of Virginia deserve the encourage
