Other Things.
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

While the magnstes calmly an
nounce their willingness to "close
the parks before surrendering to
the players" IL Is doubtful II any OF
them are really considering such a
move.
Let's look at the puzzle from q
purely Washington viewpoint. Sup
pose the Washington club, acting in
conjunction with other American
League clubs, kept the Capital
without big league baseball for one
season next ssas2n, TOT instanEe;
would be left open TO the fans to
turn their attention to golf. TO ten
mis-, to canoeing, to almost anything
but BASEBALL ..
Much talk has been heard during
the past few years regardIng the
motoring upon the national pastime.
III the talk was serious. and based
on facts, II would be the height OF
folly to give up fighting. even for
single season.
People Want Baseball
The public wants baseball. Ban

But how are the people going to
get major league baseball with the

or driving wagons
The public has very little interest
In the perpetual pickering between

wants baseball, that's oil. not court

The Way IL Open.

II the magnstes are being

1000 persons, hundreds of dancing girls

promise of making "childhood's golden

and a galaxy OF special features are in.

country because Of the war. The all new

GOOD COMPANIONS.

II makes no difference, in
looking back five years, how
you have been dieted or dressed
or lodged, whether you have
had gardens or baths, have
been carried in a neat equipage
or in a ridiculous truck. These
things are forgotten quickly and
leave no effect. But il counts
much whether we have had good
companions in that time almost
as much as what we have been
doine.-Emerson.
