women ten years her senior and n

also a fine swimmer, an unusually cf-
fective golfer and tireless walker.

There is an amusing effort being
made in several sections of baseball
dom TO convey the impression that the
American league is on ele verge of a
breakup financially. and the proofs are
that the American league has sold two
pitchers. Lee and Flaherty. TO Pitts
burg this year and that the Washing
ton club has reduced the price Of ad-
mission in defiance OF league rules.
Nothing need be said about Pitcher
Lee. as his release by PittSburg would
prove that The Johnson league is con
siderably ahead on that deal. The sale
OF FIaherty was due 10 Comiskey's de
sire 10 realize on a valuable asset
which was OF little value 10 him. Flah-

he could not make a success in the
American league. or at least in the
Chicago White Sox.

The Athletics do not seem TO have

Bender the Quakers would have n
