You may talk all you please to the
boys OF America about the great deeds
OF George Washington. Daniel Boone,
Mad Anthony Wayne and other fg-
ures prominent in history, but to
them the two real heroes Of this coun-
try are the prizehghter and the ball
player. A mar who car put another
out OF business by a punch on tho jaw
appeals much more strongly TO the
average American youth than does
the hero OF history who could out
general the British. The same is true
Of ballplayers. The man they worship
is the fellow who can hit for W bases
with the bags all full, or a pitcher
who can strike out the side.

teasing the little fellows who follow
at my heels as | walk along the
streets, and on several occasions I
have unintentionally put some very
mischievous notions into their heads.

Nothing but gunpowder." l replied

Nothing but blood. 1t takes two OF
