Ping Bodie, the desperate fence de-

ne:
1.-THE principal difference between
the game of baseball in the big leagues
and down in the sticks Is as follows !:
''In the minors the pitchers are al

If efforts were made to dispose of all
hens when their best laying days were
over, a large quantity of poultry meat
would be placed on the market. All
poorly developed chickens should be

ships that war has imposed. and to
lessen them with our food. and fuel,

mony OF the unified struggle for
