house shall be called a house OF
prayer foS all people"

1t looks as though there is a better
chance right now for Mexico to furnish

before in history. We are speaking of
the coming battle between Wolgast

Aurelia Herrera was the first real

up when he got his chanc e against
Battling Nelson a few years ago.
With a $4,000 house in waiting the
Mexican entered the pavilion some
thing like seven pounds overweight.
"A mere trifie, senor," mumbled
Aurelia to Bat, with an apologize air.
Bat, however, thought otherwise and
refused to fight. Through Ill advice
Herrera had tried a weak trick and
lost-lost possibly the championship,
and enough more to keep him at ease
for the rest of his life.

No players have been engaged by any

Harry wolverton wishes he could
shake some good base hits out of his

Harry Wolter is the only Yank with
a batting average that is worth MOTTO
