One town in the British Isles is,

Tweed, a city on the North Sea coast
half in England, half in Scotland,
through which runs the boundary line
of the River Tweed. esd
Under the British constitution,
Berwick must, issue separate dec
laration when the British government
announces hostilities. 1t has just
been discovered that Berwick was
overlooked in tbs declaration Of

was realized that Berwick is tech

having forgotten to proclaim peace

PLAYER is TAGGED OUT
WHEN CAN'T FIND PLATE.

Did you ever hear Of a ball
player being put out because he
could not find his way to the
home plate? Well, it happened
recently in a game on the White
lot in the Navy Interbureau
league. Snyder, one of the out
fielders Of the Marine team,
plays with glasses all the time,
and he cannot see much without
them. In a game early this week
he drove liner far to the out
field. He had rounded third base
in making the circuit, and about
half way home slipped and fell.
His glasses dropped off, and
when he got up he could not find
the somewhat dust-covered home
plate. While he was groping
around in an attempt to locate
his destination the ball was re-
layed home and he was tagged
out.
