Still alive and kicking?

Make u two.
Y'know. there Ii world OF pos
sibility for figuring on the statement
OF the worthy scientist from Michigan,
or Halifax, or Hindustan, or wherever
It was. Take. f'rinstance, the great
wealth Of materials as to how promi-
nent sports could prevent the old
world from getting dumped off, Ac-
cording to the infinite wisdom OF the
originator OF the Idea, some star would
make q masee shot eff the world ana
we would scratch. The only trouble
il that he did not break the rack right.
and instead Of running them ali in
he set EN- up for the other guy. We
are the other, gent.
One OF the best ways we can think Of
of hand as to how this terrible cat
astrophc could have been avoided IL
to station one Tyrus Raymond Cobb,
with q bat Of appropriate size, on top
OF some mountain of appropriate
height, and when Mr.. Star comes
along, why Mr.. Cobb just naturally
ups and swats him one on the nose
for a home run. After which he gets
the Congressional Medal OF Honor. the
Croix de Guerre. and n lot Of other
decorations which make him so hump
shoutaered that he won't be able to
play with the Tigers next year, which
means that they will run the Athletics
a hot race for the cellar position, pro-
vided the above mentioned strong men
CALL MIR QUINTET
Or, we might persuade Mr.. Ouimet
to tee OFF from this old vale OF tears
and sink said Mr.. Star in a hole some
millions Of miles away wbiol, ,vo,,lA
give Mr.. Ouimet perfect score. and
he could quit wi1noet na.i4.s !. 49,
the other Seyanfeer holes
Then there lis the possibility that
we could get some doctor, or colonel
or major or somebody at the traps
who lis handy with a gun to blow up
Mr.. Star before he gets within fighting
distance.
Once more we might get Mr. Jack
Dempsey, who is somewhat of an artist
at hitting, to engage MIR. Star for
worlds championship. Put the only
trouble about II would be that Jack
wouldn't get his $500. 600. which would
undoubtedly grieve him greatly
though a certain Mr.. Willard would
grieve greater il the chance were to
come to him.
All of which leads to the conclusion
that II would be perfectly simple for
some sble-bodied person to rid us OF Il
pestiferous nuisance. without numer-
alton. but with considerable personal
glory. We have noticed one thing
which might be attributed To the sup
posed sun-spot. We noticed that no
