ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
MEASURE APPROVED
WOMAN'S CLUB ENDORSES PRO
POSED STATE LEGlS-
LATION

At the meeting of the Womans club
yesterday afternoon at the rooms of
the Commercial club, it was agreed
that a resolution should be drawn en-
dorsing the proposed bill in the COM
ing legislature to provide for a state
board of associated charities and an
other bill providing for a juvenile
court in New Mexico. The resolution
will be read before the meeting of
the State Federation of Womens
clubs when it convenes at Silver City
on October 10.
The matter of undertaking the "bet-
ter babies contest at the county fair,
which has not been thoroughly under
stood by many of the ladies, will be
fully discussed at later meeting, and
in the meantime literature on the sub
ject will be passed from one member
to another so that all will be CONVEX
SAINT with the conditions at the time
of the next meeting.
This was the first meeting of the
club following the summer recess,
and there were many details to dis
pose of in connection with taking up
the regular routine work: particularly
along the lines of its charitable and
philanthropic enterprises.

STORIES ABOUT STARS"
Humorous and Serious Tales of the Ball Field
By BILLY EVANS

lieved ne had caught the Tiger star
mapping a couple of times, but my
partner ia the field rulsd otherwise
Finally Plank pulled a move that
caught Cobb mapping several feet
Realizing il would be useless to try
to get back to first, he made a dash
for second, and was easily retired at
that base. In the meantime, I was
irving TO get the players attention to
inform them that I mad called a bal6
on Plank. and that Cobb was entitled
to second. When PLANK realized I had
rendered all his efforts fruitless by
declaring a balk, he was very much
peeVed-
Il guess it is impossible to catch a
star mapping" said Eddie most sar-
castically. "He doesn't need any help
getting around the bases"
sNo. he doesn't, but you're such a
star pitcher that you should be handi-
capped I replied just as sarca stically.
Plank shut the Tigers out that aft
ernoon. allowing only a couple of hite,
SO IL did seem as though the Tigers
needed a handicap to peat him that
day.
