BONE PLAYS GIVE
DETROIT GAME. 6-2
Wild Base Work by Bodie
and Weaver Rob Sox of
Possible Victory.

The most astounding exhibition of
bone ever seen outside museum of ma
tural history. combined with couple
of bad decisions, wrecked a magnificent
ninth inning batting rally for the White
Sox yesterday and deprived them of
possible victory over Detroit's rebels In
the final game of the series here al
though the ultimate score was 6 to 2.
Ping Bodie and Buck Weaver. both
of whom learned their baseball on the
coast, pulled the bone stuff and Umpire
Westervelt made the decisions But the
big capacity crowd blamed only the
umpire
That great concourse of bugs had
seen the White Sox had the rebels six
runs in nine innings, all due to blunders
of head or hands by Callahan and his
men. The Sox had been held to one
run and six hits by the crafty. cold mo-
lasses delivery of Muliin, backed by
support that was letter perfect. The
crowd was melting away in large frag-
ments.

Crown Point Ind May 27.-Four rec
ords were smashed to smithereens in
the twelfth annual track and field meet
of the Lake County High School asso-
citation at the Crown Point fair grounds
Saturday afternoon, and among a classy
and fast field of athletes who competed
the Gary high school squad walked
away from the rest capturing most OF
the honors.
It was an ideal day for such an event
and with a track that come up to better
than expectations some fast marks
were hung up by the bunch of sturdy
little athletes. 1t will long be remem-
bered as one of the most successful
track meets in the history of the asso-
citation. The crowd. which promised to
be larger than in the past two years,
again failed to come up to expectations
of the association. but proved itself to
be very enthusiastic and orderly. Some
remarks were made that the meet was
poorly handled, but il might be well TO
remark that the starters and officials
handled all the events without a hitch
and by s o'clock every event had been
disposed of, which was something un-
usual in the history of the Lake Coun-
~ association
For the first time since they were ad-
mitted a s members of the associa ton
five years ago Gary early clinched the
honors of first place and sprung a sur
prise among the other Lake county
schools by claiming three firsts, six sec
onds and three thirds, giving them a to-
tai of IS points. Trained down to the
minute the sturdy little athletes from
the steel city went into the meet with
a determination to win. and with this
fighting spirit they landed the honors
which they so eagerly sought. Whit
ing high school athletes with like
spirit Travelled in the same footsteps
as Gary, but with five frsts and three
third places they were unable to score
enough points to top the high mark
that Gary chalked up. An injury to

Hammond came back in the first and

EASY TO GET RICHES
SIMPLY MATTER OF slEE'No
WHILE MONEY AccUMULATEs.
eor,A Dit7cuItjes in the Way, But as
Matter of Theory the Thing Is
About as Simple as Can
Be Made.

We have heard much OF get ITCH
nuiclxo schemes. but few OF us nave
found them to be of practical value
They are fine ideas, but they 40 not
work. Now, a nice get rlch SLOW
scheme ought to succeed. A lew Gays
ago a man gave certain CITY tnou-
sand dollars and told that city not TO
use it for ESQ years. At the emo VI
that time it will be something moro
than nineteen million dollars If the
man who told the story figured IL
right. There could not be an easier
way to be a millionaire than that. Just
hang around $50 years and the money
is yours.
OF course none of us could possibly
wait SO long for so much money I'M
less we were asleep, and that IS just
the point. Somebody ought to fix up
an EASY sort of a near poison which
would put US to sleep and the thing
would be done. That should not be
difficult Such thing must have been
done at one time, because we all know
that a whole kingdom was asleep for
ever so long, and might still be asleep
If a foolish youth had not wakened
Beauty. and nobody else would stay
asleep after Beauty was awake. And
even in our own time, or at least much
closer to it, there was Rip Van Wrinkle,
who slept for 20 years. If he had no:
been so shiftless, and had put a little
money in the bank before he went to
sleep he might have been comfortable
for the rest of his life.
And so, if everybody who had a
thousand dollars would put it in the
bank and take some sleep generator
he could wake up in ESQ years or 200
years or hundred years, according tc
how rich he wanted to be, and would
be a millionaire. Even if a person did
not have a thousand dollars to begin
with he could in the end have a few
millions. Of course if everybody was
going to be rich it might not be so
much fun, but we would get used to it
after a while. There would not be
any trouble about getting somebody
to stay awake and take care of the
banks, for a great many people have
entirely too much money already and
a great many more would not take
chances of losing what they had even
for $20,000,000.
There is just one serious drawback
to the scheme, and that may make ii
impossible. What are we going to do
about the cost Of living? Two hun.
dred and fifty years is a long time
"a Nf CO
much in that time that $19,000,000
would look like 10 cents instead of
like a thousand dollars. And no pow.
er on earth can ever put the cost Of
living to sleep.-New York Times

Only Have to Have Money.

New York the modern Babylon, is
a Democratic Babylon. It's luxury and
it's voluptuousness center in and are
to be found only in the huge hotels
and magnificent cafes that have, in
the space of score of years, trans
formed metropolitan life. In this
democratic babylon no question is
asked, whether a man is wealthy or
has power. Whosoever will may
come, be he possessed only of enough
money to pay for one nights enter
tainment-and the necessary tips for
the waiter. Students of society may
well take into account, in summing up
the conditions of modern American
life, this phase Of New York, for it
must be remembered that the patrons
of these luxurious hostelries and res
taurants are not only New Workers.,
but that they are everybody, from
everywhere, who can raise the price
for an annual visit to the metropolis.

If you know the way, and the Cheshire cat will
let you you walk down the garden path past the
butterfly lime, and arrive at the neatest little
cottage in Olympus.
Now this is the dwelling place of the Harle-
quin set-Harlequin Columbine. Clown and Pan
taloon. 1t is cottage in a little colony on
the lower slopes of Mount Olympus (where the
high gods dwell: Jupiter and the ike), and is
most important because it contains the oldest
inhabitants.

up The Four Queens and Kings live in a square
of pagoda-like houses, and are waited upon by the
Knaves. Pierrot and Pierrette live in romantic

there is another village where the Seven Prin-

beautiful people who entangled in our minds
with the memories of night nurseries, and the
scent of our mothers who bent over us in won
derful toilettes and told US to go to sleep, or
they'd be late for dinner.
When cit gets to be about Christmas there is
a sort of aroma of excitement on the lower slopes
