NEW YORK, February 2.--At a meet
ing of the Literary Auxiliary OF the Lady
Bolermakers Association, a paper was
read deploring the coinage of strange
phrases by those who report base BAH
games for the daily press.
A committee was appointed to gather
samples of basel ball reporting from peo-
pic prominent in important affairs.
Througlfthe kindness of the chairman,
Miss A. Kissety, i was permitted to get
8. flash at these samples.

There was no hestancy on Brcsnallal
part as he faced the enemys battery
about to hurl a swiftly drlYen ball IN ms

man at tho bat never faltered IN his
