This is but one of the many in

The late Lord Llangattock, who
died last year, made handsome pro-

How Boys 0utwitted
Ball Park Police

This is the story of bunch of boys.
1t happened at Comiskey park, Chi
cago.
During a game one of the High
landers hit foul. The ball sailed
against the screen back of the plate
and caught between the wires. 1t
was wedged in tightly and about Is
feet from the ground.
Out in the bleachers bunch of
boys watched that ball and saw what
happened After the game they ran
to the screen and one of them began
the dangerous ascent. Beneath stood
a white coated attendant. He didn't
dare climb up there after that ball.
but he knew what he would do when
the boy descended with 1t. He would
take 1t away from him.
Did he? Most decidedly he did not.
Because the boy with the courage
looked down, saw, guessed. And 1t
became a battle of wits. Instead of
picking the ball from the screen he
knocked 1t down. Another boy
grabbed It, Then the boys spread.
The attendant chased the boy who
picked up the ball. He overlook him.
But the instant~that the boy felt the
hands of the attendant upon his shirt,
for he wore no coat, he gave the ball
toss.
and helmet, with club and revolver,
may have thought that he was rum
ming. And he may have been. But
not when you contrast his gait with
that of the barelegged boy who
clutched a real league baseball in his
grimy hands.
Back in the stand stood a score of
men. They were boys many, many
years ago. The barefoot boy repre-
sented plunder and the police repre-
sented law and order.
Who were they pulling for? You
have but one guess. Yes. you
guessed It, They were pulling for
the boy. Somewhere on the prairies
there will be ball game, and ii will
be contested more keenly than will
| that between the Yanks and the Sox
! For the boys will be playing the first
and only league ball that ever
bounded upon their diamond.
