 The management has had signs erected in the grand stand prohibiting smoking and betting. Smoking Is permitted in the regular smoker and in the end of the grand stand adjacent to the smoker. Pro- miscuous smoking throughout the stand is what is objected to.
 Patrons of the game are requested by the association to comply with these rules in order to promote the comfort and welfare of all concerned.

 Carlos Smiths home run drive over center field fence was. of course, the" feature of contest filled with features, one of which was the fact that the umpire apparently gave satisfaction to both sides. as no strenuous kicks were made on his decisions.
 Quick Double Play
 ReSert began the first inning with single. Cargo was out on a fly to Mont gomery, Blake drove a hot one to Walt CTS. who snapped it promptly to 0yler, Oyler to Vaughan completing probably the fastest double play ever pulled off here.
 Smith Wins Shoes
 In the locals half of the first Mont gomery went out via Blake to Beck. Molesworth got a safety and Smith fol- lowed with terrific drive which landed the ball over deep center field fence It was another mysterious disappearance of the ball to Center6elder Bird, who went up and down the fence, evidently looking for hole in the fence through which the ball could have gone. Smith gets pair of Regal shoes for the homer. Gear and Walters followed and were both out q. first.
 Reagan's Pitching Hand Hit

Cutting q Cameo.

It is said tnat the stone from which
canoes are cut-onyH and sardony1-
is so plentiful on the Uruguay river,
in Brazil, that ships often take it away
as ballast. Nevertheless perfect pieces
of large size are costly, piece suit
able for large portal costing as much
as SIS. This stone is preferred for
canoes because Of its hardness and
durability and is suitable for such work
owing to the fact that it comes in lay
crs Of contrasting color, as black and
white, black and cream or red and
white When the cut figure Is sunk in
to the stone instead Of being raised the
cutting is called an intaglio. The cost
Of these gems is due to the time and
skill required in the work. Formerly
q small gem might occupy an artist for
a year or nrore, but with modern ap-
pliances the work can be done much
more rapidly. Still the ancient work
bears the palm for artistic excellence.
The cutting is now done by holding
the stone against revolving drill
whose soft steel face is covered with
diamond dust No steel is hard enough
to cut the stone. The utmost patience
and caution and delicate handling are
required, as the slightest slip may be
fatal to the work.

When Hannibal had crossed tie Alps

husband by beheading him. Retribu-

that its prestige was lost and the

Rulers have always been fattered,
