SHE'S A PEACH!

Chicago, July 17.-That she was
undeniably pretty there was no
doubt, but that she knew little
about golf was plain from the lack
Of attention she paid to some of
the stylists that played past her
as she sat on the end of a bench
at Marine and Field links reading
a book.
Finally there came a pair up to
the tee, one Of whom was tired, for
he slumped down on the bench to
watch his opponent drive. He had
to look past the girl to get a view
OF the fairway.
Suddenly the crack OF the club on
the ball was heard. The sphere
sailed on far and straight.
She's a peach" exclaimed the
sitting golfer as he watched the
rubber core speed away
The girl lifted her eyes. To her
Il must have seemed that the ex-
clamatory golfer was looking
straight at her. for, jumping TO her
feet, she stood in front OF him and
said with bitter scorn:
Please keep your opinion of my
looks to yourself. It's a good thing
for you there's no policeman in
sight"
AS she turned and walked away
the amazed golfer muttered: Gee,
and I wouldn't have been far off If
had meant her, instead OF the
BALI"

Chicago, July 17-After winning
two games in one day from NJ
Phillies the Cubs tossed both ~

thereby lost a full lap Of thef-

Hollocher and Lude-us went

The Cubs apparently had the
first game well in hand in two
innings during which they scored
four runs. Five hits, including
double by Merkle and a triple by

Phillies bumped Douglas for one

WHAT EXPLAINS
HITTING POWER
OF BABE RUTH?

Babe Ruth's tremendous batting
power is due to several important
reasons. In the first place, he likes
to hit the ball. Then, again, he is
a young giant and can land o. q
ball with wonderful strength. Fur
thermore, he possesses confidence.
He doesn't believe that any pitch
er can fool him. Having no fear
while standing at the plate, he rel
ishes the chance to swing at fast
balls.
Ruth has keen eyesight. He is
able. therefore, to pick out the good
ones. He seldom goes after the bad
ones, and can hit anything that
comes over the plate between the
knee and the shoulder.
There isn't a doubt that nearly
all of the enemy pitchers are afraid
of Ruth, which is a valuable point
in his favor. It's worth the price
of admission to see the husky hit
the pill
