The third time the umpire spoke rthis

 strike on the batter. But he did 1t re-
 gretfully. You could see that he would
 rather have called 1t a ball and gotten
 one more grand rise out of the fans. Ths
 game wound up in an exciting rally. The home team won.
 As the crowd poured out of the gates
 the Editor spoke. He was thoroughly happy. During the four innings he had kept score he had recorded thirty-nins put-outs and forty-two assists. The fact that you can only have twenty-seven put outs in a nine-inning game did not worry him. He said he understood the score-

 The Observer looked around.
 On the right of him was a young man who was mostly jaw, neck aEl shoulders. The temperature was ninety, but he had on a sweater and thick coat. He was eating peanuts. Evidently he had cor nered the peanut market before he came in. He would open half a dozen peanuts, gulp their contents and placidly drop the shells anyWhere-mostly in the Ob- servers lap.
 After the Observer had gotten one lap fUi and carefully brushed it off. the first bag of peanuts was consumed. Then the young man with the sweater and the jaw dug around until he found another bag and started on that.

 On the way to the ball park the cars were packed with the patient, perspiring proletariat Some of them had seats. Others were sitting upon those who had seats. Still others stood. And the re- mainder were tastefully draped on the running boards, the COW catcher, tka brakeman's platform and other points O1 vantage.
 Occasionally the would stop sud- denly and a prominent citizen would get off. He would not intend to get off. But he would lose his hold on the car and get off just the same-usually hitting the pavement with the upper part of his vest and his chin.
 These minor accidents only added to the spirit of festive cheer. And, besides, the other fans knew that the eminent citizen, if not seriously hurt, could catch the next car and if he was seriously hurt She ball park was no place for him.
 How the days have changed! It was only little while ago that the Observer sat in the bleachers; it seems like yes terday. Yet the changes, the ravages of lime. made 1t seem a century ago.
 Where were the boys who checked your bicycle; always giving you the wrong check and offering you rusted wreck with a fiat tire in exchange for the new wheel you hal left with them?
 There was one old man who stuck tC tradition He had some bicycle checks and he religiously asked everybody-alto' mobiltsts, pedestrians and street-carlsts-- if they didn't want their bikes checked You could see that the age of progress had affected his mind and he was not safe. The Editor said his intelligence was so marked (by comparison with some peo' pIe he knew) that he was going to hire him to do feature writing. The Observer did not inquire what the Editor meant.
 Inside the ground was that ominous swelling roar, from pavilion, grandstand box and bleacher seat-a steady, 1nsiStan rumbling that is usually associated witf Jvnchings and street parades. Row after row, tier after tier of faces, moving ane rustling and roaring-a bable of sound.

 When last seen the specimen was in- sisting. with tears in his eyes that his raincheck should be cashed inasmuch as he had not seen one inning of the game. He had spent four innings trying to find his seat.

But the Editor refused to be discouras sed He concluded his song triumphantly while the office boy fled to the composing room and hid behind a linotype machine Finally the Editor spoke:

 Did you get passes?' he inquired
 'No," said the Editor T got one pass. You can pay your way

Tries to Tell Voters He Really is

Congressman George NJ. Young is
just converted to tolls FOR Amer

peculiar that these confessions OF
faith are coming at the eleventh hour.
We practically are through with dis
cussing Mr.. Young. His own vacillat-
ing and straddling statements have
branded him before the voters of the
Second congressional district as unfit
for second term.
Absolutely False.
Letters, however, sent out to his
constituents over a government frank
are absolutely unfair and false. Rel
ative to the tolls issue. Congressman
Young says:
~ am personally in favor Of
passing the bill (toiIs measure)
with the amendment which has
been added to it in the Senate.
The bill in the form. now propos-
ed excludes from the use Of the
canal all ships owned by rail-
road companies and protects the
treaty rights Of the United

No Mention of Railroads..
Congressman Young either is ignor.
ant of the Simmons amendment or
else he is falsifying deliberately. The

vors, does not alter TIE bill at all, and
is perfectly harmless.
The amendment makes no mention
of excluding boats owned by railroads
