Fans generally seem TO have mis-

Is that the fewer bases on balls a
twirler hands out during a season the
better Is his control.
While in a certain measure this is
the truth, still there is something else
than merely the ability OF getting the
ball over the plate between the shoul-

Among the most unique decorations
and one which has been the subject
OF much favorable comment, is the
imitation snow storm which envelopes
the Alexander department store The
presentation is very realistic. The
snowflakes seem to be falling every

The miniature train which really
