The best looking sporting editor IN
the world lives at Trinidad. Col. Her
name is Miss Ina Young. In fact, she
is the only sporting editor in this coun-
Try who can don Merry Widow hat,
slip pencil out Of her hair and rip of
n baseball story. calling the shortstop
CUTE" and get away with II.
At football Miss Young knows the
difference between quarterback k!c',
and forward pass, and she digs up
the old diamond dope with as ruch
avid'ty as the fellow with the colored
hat-band who thinks that Mike Don
lin showed George Washington the
place to cross the Delaware.
Miss Young is not n suifragettc.
AppauseD Her rather unique calling
throws her In constant contact with
men. and she has to match wits with
some of tie best informed writers in
the business. lut she does not care to
become a district lcader-yet. More
over she lives in a state where she
could vote il she so desired. Here Is
what she has to say on the question
OF suffrage:
Can Vote, but Doesn't.
''T never have voted. and never IN
tenl to. I have been thrown with plen
since was child, and I find that they
have arranged things so beautifully in
this country OF ours that ! see no rea-
Son why a woman should interfere.
There are thousands of women IN Colo
RADIO who have the right to vote. but
a large majority of them think as l
DO and never take advantage of the
law which gives them equal rights with
the men.
Il am now just finishing trip for
my paper-the Trinidad Chronicle
News-which took me all over the coun-
try, and everywhere the men have
shown me the most considerable and
CO 4rteous treatment ! am perfectly
filling for the kind of men that I
have met 10 take care OF the affairs
OF the country. ! fail to see where a
law that gave woman the right 10 vote
could improve upon present conditions.
Besides. we've got to tell our ages
when we register"
Now will you suffragettes be good,
Here is a woman who can roast bad
ball player II she likes, or she can turn
an error into a hit and get the fans
going. but she doesn't care to figure
In the Government dope at all She ia
the or'ical scorer ut Trinidad. and the
ball players say hcr Judgment is prac-
tica!ly perfect. That is one place where
the player would have fat chance
calling the scorer Il big stiff" You
know that has been said about some
OF us fellows in days gone by. and said
right out lo"1. too.
X $ Tabs on EN-.
Miss Young dropped into New York
to-day, fresh from reporting the world S
series of bah games at Chicago and
Detroit. She took a look at Boston
before coming to Manhattan and, say,
she believes the Giants were robbed of
the pennant. The only woman scorer
in America does not believe in techni-
cal.ties prolonged applause)
We'll. what do you think of Ty
Co5b?' l asked by way Of getting down
to cases.
LET me see" and quick as wink
she slipped score booS out of her hip
pocke.-honcst, she did. There is no
doub, Of the fact that he is great field
er and hitter and. by the way. we all
disagreed on the hit into right field that
he let get by him for two bases. The
ground was wet and he came diving IN
after a low liner.
at did touch his hands. but he could
not hold it, and 1t was such lard
chance that l gave IT a hit. see that
the OFFICIAL scorer gave 1t an error !
think he ought TO have given tine batter
as well as the fielder the benefit of the
doubt"
How is that for real dope? Miss Young
certainly knows the game from A 10
lzaard. and the fans out there say she
knows how to'write II, TOO.
Ibid you ever see Willie Keeler?"
was asked.
Thinks He is Cute.
"Oh! think him the cutest little fell

hit II 1t was the least bit close. Don t
you think him cute? We fellows never
bad thought about i In that light, but
showed that Miss Young still is a WON
an, even II she is entered In the dope
writing race with men.
This sporting editor Is liable to lave
q lot Of applications for Jobs by, Tie
time she. gets back TO Trinidad. Some
OF our Oldest baseball writer's told her
that they would like to. come out TO
Trinidad and work awhile If she re-
maincd the boss They didn't say any
thing about salary either. ,,
Miss Young Is a dainty little woman
and quite distance from the old maid
estate. She could easily make the ban
tamweight, though she has never had
any experience with the gloves other
than those. that come In elbow lengths
and six pairs in pack.
During the day she saw Bob Fitz-
simmons In his vaudeville act and he
must have been good for she says that
he certainly did make her laugh,
II did want to stay over here and
cover the Yale-Prlnceton football
game. said the woman sporting writer.
''But l am going TO New Orleans by
steamer, and my passage Is alreHdy
booked. l am crazy about this water
front. You know We never see anything
like that In Colorado. TO tell you lie
truth, saw my first live FISH two days
ago. Tie only fish we ever see In Trinl-
dad are those that come packed in
Won't you come down tomorrow and
look over the election returns?" she was
s5ked.
