the dome Of supposed thought with
a ball in some inning or another. The
fact that the ball did not depart from
its spherical shape after this con-
tact was a source Of wonder among
the scientists of Chicago University
It merely goes to show that no mat

fellows who are not picked out by
the populace as objects of thought
and near-thought, insisted on exam

was the first play of the series. Ac-
tually, it is not predicted that this
play will have a run OF several
months on the Rialto of the Uni

Play followed play. Even as the
plays of Gene Walter follow other
efforts. Or. is it an effort after
all? Some say not. For efforts are
deliberate.
The winning run arrived in tbs
