For bless your heart each time we

At guessing YOU are quick,
But now its your turn. lady-mine-

At the end Of you destination you
go up to the baggage car and in a
perfunctory but polite manner, say to
the baggageman:
Number 41144, please"
The baggage man smiles, as all bag
gage men do when you ask them Ques-
tons, hastens to the darkest corner
of the car, compares the number on
your check with the number on an
other check, and if they tally and are
both marked "dog'' he knows you
want dog. He then drags No. 41144

chain, hands you the loose end and

Olympic Champion
TO Play Baseball
THORPE WILL FIND PLENTY OF
RED COMPANY WHEN HE
ENTERS DIAMOND.

Ever since baseball has been 1t on
the American sport calendar the game
has had peculiar attraction for In
dams.
!, Next year, if Uncle Sam is willing,
there may be another star added to
the galaxy of Indian diamond stars,
Jim Thorpe, greatest all-round ath-
lete in the world, has promised Bar.
ney Dreyfus to sign with the Pitts.
burg Pirates next season.
Thorpe, the winner of the decath.
lon and pentathlon at Stockholm, the
football captain at Carlisle this fall,
wants to break into professional base
ball, the sport to which he says he i.
just a trifle partial.
But before he can sign with the Pr
rates, Thorpe must get the consent o.
Uncle Sam. He belongs to the Sac
and Fox tribe of Indians, who are
still wards Of the government and who
must have the consent Of a govern
ment agent before they can transact
any business
Thorpe could have signed with the
Pirates this season. He didn't care
to because he had been elected cap
tain of the Carlisle football team and
wanted to preserve his amateur stand
ing. In another year he will be
through college, and then the man
who was too bashful to be presented
to the King of Sweden hopes to be
acclaimed the same star on, the dia-
mond he has been on the gridiron and
track.
Thorpe ought not to feel lonesome
in the big show. Probably now and
then he will run across Chief Bender,
also Carlisle man, who has been
one Of Connie Mack's mainstays for
the last ten years or so.
If he tries for a mound job, as he
plans to do at present, of course he
will have the opportunity to try to
keep Chief" Meyers OF the Giants
from slamming the ball to all corners
of the field.
The White Sox have purchased
Pitcher George Murphy johnson from

There is scarcely a league in the

funct Oklahoma state league. enough
