WANT OLD MAIDS
In HELLO" JOBS

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. o.
Cupid-proof "hello girls"-old maids

man and married women embittered
to the opposite sex by past perform

of the local telephone company. That
type of Romeo, who gets serious over
the wire" with Miss Hello is
causing telephone officials all sorts
of trouble.
Wire" fiirtations are terminating
in so many matrimonial ventures
these days that the company can't
keep its staff intact at the central
exchange. Consequently the quest
for a type of "old maid" who has not
entirely soured on the world and who
can be polite and pleasant" to both
men and women.
Hello Name, didy' hear the news.
Some operator called Cupid's causing
all kinds of trouble against the suf-

past three months the god has taken
the hearts of more hello girls" than
ever at the local exchanges.
Hardly have the company officials
grouped around the "switchboards" of
the exchanges a force of competent

In the major league. Irving won a game

High scores were again in order and

Lafayette and Lincoln in the minor

with three wins and no defeats. AS
these teams clash on May IS. the last
day of the league series, it is probable
that the championship will be decided
on that day.

WHAT VALPO THINKS

: In speaking of the valpo-Hammond
game the vidette says:
The umpiring yesterday was certain
~ amateurish from every point of view
A rank decision would be followed by
an attempt to even UP, and good
chances to score were spoiled for both
teams. The league receives 10 per cent
of the gate receipts from each game
and 1t seems that with this amount
good umpires could be secured-not the
sort that guess at the majority of plays.
The league executive should give this
careful consideration. for good umpir-
ing is half the battle.
Manager Forney protested the game
in the seventh inning, on account of
the crowd back of the catcher, and the
umpire allowing a run to score from
second.
{ Griswold played his usual game at
third and made one sensational stop.
He also poled nice double in the sec
ond inning.
Forney caught a nice game, but didn't
have his batting eye. However, an
other game or two will have the de-
sired effect in this respect.
The third base bleachers collapsed
during the progress of the game. but no
serious injuries resulted.
Fans, attention. It's worth the price
of admission to see Englehardt play
first base.
Metty was the star of the Hammond
team. getting three hits and four runs.
Bird and Griswold are being troubled
slightly with sore arms.
Pony made a pretty catch of line

Benton made some three-base hit in
