He WAS WAITING PATIENTLY
Constant Attendant at Play Was Bound
to Be on Hand when Erring Wife
Was Caught by Husband.

A problem play was being produced
in Chicago. One evening it was dis
covered that a certain man, evidently
from the rural district, had attended
the play six nights In succession and
always sat we'll down in front. Each
night he leaned forward eagerly In his
seat and drank in the words of the
drama.
These facts were communicated to
the theater press agent, who scented
good story. Approaching the inter-
ested spectator between the acts, he
apologized for his intrusion and said:
would you mind telling me just why
you are so interested in this play?
Do you know some member of the
cast?
"Nope," said the man from the out
lands. "That amt it. But I'll tell
you about it. You know the scene in
the private room of the restaurant,
where the dark man and the other
mans wife get up and leave by the
ieft-hand door just moment before
the woman's husband enters by the
right-hand door?"

antly.
"Well," said the interested specta-
tor, "some night the husbands going
to come in before they leave"

INFIELD SETS NEW RECORD
Games Without Single Member
Being Out of Play.

The performance of the infield of the
Louisville American association club
in going through stretch of 232
games, the continuity of which was
first broken the other day, without a
single member having missed an inning
of play, is believed to constitute rec
ord.
John Corriden, third baseman Of the
Louisville club, was absent from the
teams lineup in two games at Kansas
City for the first time in two years.
The infield, composed of J. Kirke at
first, Joseph Mccarthy at second, Cor
ridden at third and Wilbur Roach at
short, went through 167 games last
year and 60 games this season without
a break.

strained into bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
wIrUre quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier at
about the cost one must pay for a

Care should be taken to strain the lem

knows that lemon juice is used to
bleach and remove such blemishes as
freckles, sallowness and tan, and is
the ideal skin softener, smoothener

Just try it Make up quarter pint
of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
and massage it daily into the face,

LIEUT.. O'HARA ON FURLOUGH
Player Injured in First Line
Trenches-Has Easy Job.

When in Detroit recently Umpire
Billy Evans had a visit with Bill
O'Hara, rormer Nap and Giant, who
went to the front with the Canadian
soldiers two years ago. He now is a
lieutenant.
He went to Europe as an aviator,
but when something went wrong with
his machine and the machine was dam
aged because it hit the ground before
Bill intended it should, he became en-
gagged in a controversy with his supe-
rior that resulted in Bill quitting the
air corps and joining his countrymen
in the trenches.
They made him commander of a
squad Of barbed-wire repairerS and
hand grenade throwers. 1t was fine
job, no more dangerous than taking
nap on the third rail.
All they had to do was to put on
black suits, blacken their faces and
hands, take tools painted black and
creep out into mo mans land" to re-
pair the barbed wire.
If the Germans sent up a rocket,
which they often do to light up the
section in front, each Canadian would
stand at attention, not daring to let
even a knee wobble or finger twitch.
If one moved there would be a "put-
put" and another Canadian had passed
away upon the battlefield.
ION several OCCASIONS" related
Lieutenant O'Hara to Evans, II was
one of six survivors Of party Of 20
that went out from our trenches. And
they finally got me-through the thigh
and the shoulder. That's why am
back. But I will be back at the front
soon, and I hope that within year
some Of my old pals from the big
league will be with me-"

Is chosen each day, and the other day
the post fell to the lot Of Charles T..
Ehafe of Indianapolis, says the Indian

after the general had wished to speak
to an officer in one Of the other rooms
and there being no orderly to summon
him, had gone after the man himself.
"By George" Shafe commented to
the camp adjutant's orderly, a Tenth
infantryman, fresh from five years in
Panama, "the general did some of my
work for me-"
'Yeh, amt that nice, now!" the adj

you go in there now and do some of
his work for him, just to be sociable?"

GETTING Out From Under.

1t is probably quite natural that
there should be considerable rivalry at
Ft. Harrison between the student Off
GERS of National Guard training and
those with no previous military expe-
rience, and sometimes stories are told
which might not be told If it were not
for this rivalry, says the Indianapolis
News.
A young student officer was putting
a squad of fellow-students through
squad formations the other day Of q
rather intricate nature and the pro-
cess proved to be like climbing a roof.
It is easy to climb into perilous posi-
ton astride the cone, but difficult to
climb down to safety. The young stu
dent officer got along very well until
he attempted to get his squad back in
to its original formation. Somehow it
wouldn't work out right. Then he cut
the knot Of his difficulty with one COM
mand, delivered as sternly as possible:
"As you were at first March,
This would not have been told If

tional Guardsmen in the squad.

more than six feet tall, and weighs
about 1876 pounds. He has been star
pitcher for several seasons, having
failed his team only in 1916, when he
was suspended late in the season for
failure to obey club rules.
His comeback" from that episode
this year has been notable in baseball
circles. Latest figures show he has
been in fifteen games, winning five and
losing four, and giving only 1.63 earned
runs q game. He ranks fourth in the
league in effectiveness.

USEFUL SUN-GLASSESI
Recommended as Sure Antidote
for Baseball Muffer.
Catching a Ball Against a Binding
Sun Is Not Only Difficult Thing to
Do, but II Is Extremely In
furious to Eyes.

Many baseball game has been lost
because an outfielder muffed fly ball
when the sun got in his eyes; and
many baseball player has had to bear
up under sharp criticism at the hands
Of angry spectators when the sun should
have been blamed. Catching a ball
against binding sun is not only
difficult thing to do, but it is extremely
injurious to the eyes.
If they live up to the claims of their
inventor, who is none other than Fred
Clarke, veteran Pirate manager, the
glasses illustrated will enable the
player to catch flies in the face of the
strongest sun. The glasses are riveted
to the peak Of the cap and work on a
hinge. When not needed to shield the
eyes, they rest against the cap.
When a ball is hit the fielder simply
touches the rim of the glasses and they
fall down in front of the eyes in just
the proper position so that he has a
chance to see the approaching ball

The True Word.

Two elderly New York clubmen who
have retired spend much Of their time

at club lounge window.
Charles B. Towns was seated near

woman of middle age passed in a
handsome turnout.

"Woman is as old as she looks" was

"What a world of difference the
sound of safe hits can make in the
spirits of ball tossers! Umpires have
long since learned to be merciful with
clubs that aren't hitting. An umpire
stands lot Of CAB from any hitless
team-he knows their nerves are

"Ball clubs look good or bad" says
Hank O'Day, "when they are, or are
not, hitting. When a club is banging
the ball, it seems good both to the
crowds and to itself. The boys chirp
and chatter; they coach joyously; they
make so much noise the umpire can't
keep them quiet. Everything is happi-
ness and good feeling, and the good
feeling spreads to other departments
as well as the batting.
"When a club is on batting ram

which make them far superior to the

With Johnny Evers fighting his bat

The main reason that Schupp is such
