THE BALTIMORE CHOP.

Among the lost arts of baseball is
the chop which the Baltimore
Orioles Of 20 or more years ago made
famous. 1t was one of the most effec-
tive ways OF producing base hits that
/ ever have seen.
The batter, instead of swinging
straight out at the ball would chop
down on it with terrific force. II he
met the ball fairly he would send it
to the ground at a point 10 to Is feet
from home plate. Then the ball would
bound high into the air-so high that
II either would clear the infielder's
head or would stay aloft long enough
for the baseman to beat out the in
fielders throw to first.

Some Impressions Gained
BY an Amateur Artist

Hunting a celebrity in his lair. is a
game interspersed with more divert
ing by-play than the Amateur Inter-
viewer would have supposed.
When, aglow with the reflected dis
tinction of his quarry. he nonchalantly
inquired Of the young man at the ho-
tel desk as to directions for locating
Mr. Corbett, that functionary gave
him the up and down first, and then
prop6unded this SmaZingly irrelevant
question::
do you mean Mister JIM Corbett?''
Even at that. the incisive cross;ex-
aminer ought to have known, so long
as the Amateur interviewer did not
specify otherwise. that THE Corbett
was the individual in demand-just
as among the ancestral hills and bogs
of former Corbetts. one referred to
The O'Donohue.
Finally Lands.
Having satisfied himself that it was
none other than Mr.. James J. Cor
bett, Gentleman Jim" Corbett, For
mer Champion Corbett, Actor Corbett,
to whom the Amateur, Interviewer re-
ferred, the nimbie conductor steered
his charge by hand as well as by
voice and eye, much as a child guides
the uncertain destinies OF a barrel
hoop. into the dining-room-and into
the Presence.
The Amateur interviewer can un-
derstand now about the sobriquet'
Gentleman Jim"
He saw before him a youngish-
looking man, built like a thoroughbred
racehorse-a man who lowered when
he stood up. and lowered in charm
and courtesy. even after he resumed
his seat. The Amateur interviewer
forgot his mental determination to
be on the lookout for any casual,
playful right swings or left hooks, OF
double shifts. Here was a smiling
wholesome, clean-cut American, with
the look of a distinguished profes-
sional man, tempered by the amused
keenly observant air of the man OF
the world.
Mr.. Corbett was having a very light
breakfast-a bit of toast and a sliced
orange-delicate provender for a su-
preme athlete! The Amateur Inter
viewer might have been the British
(or ~Irish) Ambassador, to Judge BY
his spontaneous, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
reception.
James J. talks easily, and is an
easy man to talk to. He knows
something about many things. and a
great deal about some things. He Is
boxer, actor. and writer, The Amateur
interviewer can account for the lit
erary proficiency. Mr.. Corbett said
he wrote to his wife every day. 1t Is
his inviolatSe ritual. So he gets
plenty of practice in belles-lettres.

.JIM'S FATHER
ALWAYS KNEW
AT Least He Was First Class
Second Guess Man on
Fighting Son.

No man was more opposed to my
fighting John L Sullivan, than was
my father. The mighty Bostonian
was an idol of my dads and he fig
ured that John l. was unbeatable.
He nearly collapsed from shock
when the news reached him that l
was matched to fight the great
Irish warrior.
Don't fight Sullivan" begged
my father. He'll kill you. Jim
he'll kill you sure"
But / went ahead with the match.
Daddy Was Anxious.
On the night OF the fight my
father. who had remained in San
Francisco, got the returns OF the
contest over a ticker. As the news
was flashed that the fight had
started, father walled: My boy.
Ny poor boy. He will surely be
killed"
Whenever the report stated that
''Corbett hit Sullivan" it didn't i'm
press father at all.
It's just q trick OF Sullivan's
to let my boy hit him. He's just
waiting back and in a little bit he's
going to kill Jim. My poor boy.
oh. why didn't 1 keep him from
fighting Sullivan"
All through the first 20 rounds
father was almost on the verge of
tears.
Sure He Did.
The 81 first round came-and the
ticker sputtered:
"Corbett knocks out Sullivan.
nnn If fafhArfa frfanAd rushed
over. slapped him on the back and
yelled: Jim won! never thought
he could do it!'
Ny father cast q scornful glance
at the other, pushed out his chest
and majestically replied:
"Of course he won! There wasn't
doubt about 1t from the minute
he stepped into the ring"

England and France are face
TO face with a serious shortage
Of feeds. Horses and COWS are
to be placed on rations in Eng
land.
This means that America will
be called upon to supply the
allied countries with more
meats.
Silos are the best means OF
conserving our stock feeds. Now
Is the time to build them. The
size Of the silo should deepnd
upon the number Of cattle to be
fed. The cow or steer during
the winter feeding period con-
sumes about four tons OF sill

teGmine how large to make the
silo.
