Mr.. Needham and Professor Peters
were just bowling acQuaintances. Their
ways seemed to lie far apart, and
therefore the author was more than
astonished after dinner that evening
when the professor asked him If he
did not wish to take walk. When
they were alone the man Of mathe-
mates said:

very lovable girl"

When 1t hit the other bank with its

occupant screamed for help.
The professor said she would, and
no attention must be paid to her.
When the boat scraped over a sunk

OFFERS TO PUBLISH
ATTENDANCE FIGURES
If Organized Baseball will Come
Through, Jimmy Gilmore
Says He'll Do 1t.

CHICAGO, July 7.-President James
A. Gilmore, of the Federal League, to-
day challenged organized baseball to
make public its attendance figures in
the cities where it has clubs competing
with the Federals. declaring that II
they do so he would make public the
Federal attendance in those cities. and
these figures will show he said,
that in FIVE of the eight cities where
We are competing with organized base
ball we are outdrawing them two and
five to one"
Gilmore declared that, despite the ad-
verse rulings in the court as regards
the Federals' viewpoint on the reserve
clause in the baseball contract, he and
his legal advisers still believed that the
reserve clause was not valid, and that
they would fight II to the highest courts.
Gilmore declared, also. that his league
would continue TO sign up all players
whose contracts expire at the. end of
this season.
