+RARITY OF TRIPLE PLAY
+ In BASEBALL CONTESTS

An idea of the rarity of the
triple play in baseball may be !
gained from the experience of
Miller Higgins. 1t was about !
twenty years ago that Higgins
began his baseball career and
this is his fifteenth season in the
major league. After the Yankees
reeled off a triple play a few
days ago in a game against the
White Sox Higgins remarked
that it was the second such
play he had seen since he put
on his first baseball uniform.
The other occurred when he was
a member of the Cincinnati Reds
and Higgins played a hand in
this performance. When it is
recalled that Higgins has been
player or manager in close to
$500 major games it becomes
evident that the triple play is
indeed a rarity.

Talked il over as we have never talked
n over before. We did not want Eyes
O'Blue to know about it, nor did we
want to lay any part of the worlds
heavy burden upon the heart of Touse-
head. We have taught them that the
world Is a good and beautiful place
but last night, gathered beneath The
light In the humble little parlor at our
house, we talked it over between Us.
Eyes O'Blue and Touslehead were told
that, while the world Is good, it Is not
all good that there are men who have
started out to enslave the world anu
who In the furtherance of that amDl-
ton have done awful things.
Gradually as the tale was told they
drew nearer until we sat with our
arms about them. We told them OF
hands hacked from baby wrists, Of
death rained from the Sky upon help
less little ones, of murder rising from
the seas green deeps to feed upon
helpless mothers and babies.
And then we told them how these
splendid soldier boys we see every
day are going to the far front to fight
and, If need be, die to keep this hor-
ror from our land. We told them OF
burns and wounds and suffering.

soldiers home.
The whole aim and object of Home
Service is to protect the welfare of tie
soldiers family while he Is away and
to maintain us far as possible the
same standards of home life that pre-
vailed while he was at home. More
than this when the standard Of living
is low II is the duty and the opportu-
nifty of Home Service to raise the
standard.
Think Of what 1t means to John
Madison and his legions of comrades
in khaki and in blue TO realize that In
their absence their loved ones will be
safeguarded as carefully and as con-

We had a number of Red Crosses in

We told them of the bandages and
supplies needed to allay suffering.
We told them Of the noble women who
are giving their lives to the binding
up of hurts of the boys In khaki.
We told them of the great need OF
money with which to carry on the
work of mercy.
Then Eyes O'Blue In a voice which
choked with pity for the distressed
spoke of her savings, and Touslehead
clapped her hands at the thought.
This morning went to the bank
and withdrew their savings, $63.29, and
they are to be put to work-to a bet
ter work than they have been doing.

expect to wear cobbled shoes and
