The spectacular side of baseball around

Take, for instance, the little group Of
men who represent a big oil company up

are just enough of them to form two
mines, and when they have an afternoon

the good old way. They are far from
home; practically exiles. but when they
are in the midst of smashing game un-

ing at the audacious energy of the white
men. they probably feel themselves much
nearer home than at any other time
