CHATS With CONTESTANTS

lutely SURE of your work. as your
answers to the pictures may not be in
the Record at all. Now do not say: IF
I've got to buy book I'll not bother"
This Record was got up for the con-
venience Of the contestants and with
the idea of limiting the number of
possible answers in order that con-
testants would not have to take into
consideration every possible name in
tile State. If one stops to reason it
will be seen that this works to the adj
vantage of the contestant from the
fact that he knows the answer is
somewhere in this book, thus doing
away with the necessity of searching
through dozen different sources and
finding names that were never consid-
cred when the pictures were made.
The Solution Blank Book was de-
signed along the same lines. 1t is not
only a convenience but it actually
saves the contestant when it is de-
sired to use more than one answer. To
pay cents for one extra picture does
not seem much, but before YOU are
aware of it you have % extra coupons
from the Journal which would pay
for the Solution Blank Book In addi-
ton to its other good features the So
luton Blank Book contains on the in
side front cover key to the solution
of 20 of the so pictures a great help in

Some definite rules should be adopted
at National Park as to announcements
of changes. The complaints that have
been made appear thoroughly tustii-
able.
Yesterday the greatest ball player in
the world made his temperance after
being out from June 20, and four men
in the Washington lineup were shifted.
Still the first the crowd actually knew
OF these changes was when they saw
the men arriving at the plate.
If the officials would see TO IL that
every alteration in the usual order is
clearly megaphoned to the stands,
either before or during the game they
will add greatly to the pleasure of the
ordinary spectator and relieve many
others from answering questions from
the beginning to the middle of the con-
tests. Yesterdays situation was some
what abnormal. but there should be
some distinct understanding. neverthe-

Eeach was mussing up ale chance. A

been called either way. Up to this
time the Nationals had wasted six hits.
