SEES GAME OF
BALL BY EYES
OF INSTRUCTOR

New York.-Everybody was hum
ming OF whistling "After the Ball. %
years ago.
Charles K. Harris, author and COM
OOser Of that popular song, was at that
time 3 resident of Milwaukee and
frequent visitor to Chicago. He was
an enthusiastic baseball fan.
The Harris home is now at 151 West
Eighty-sixth street, this city, and Miss
Mildred Harris, the nineteen-year-old
daughter of the authOr-composer, has
inherited q love of baseball from her
father and, despite her total blindness,
gs able to ''see" the game and enjoy it
almost as keenly as if she had her
Hight. For the last seven years she
has been a fan.
She sits in the grandstand wearing
smoked glasses and is always on hand
when the Giants are playing. She
Jumps up and down and cheers the
players just like other excited specta-
tors. Behind her unseeing eyes is a
mind Of extraordinary perception,
swift 20 grasp what is going on about
her. Some of the experts say she
Hsees" the game more intelligently
than those who have all their senses.
Sees Through Fathers Eyes.
Miss Mildred's escort is her father,

and 1t Is through mis- eyes that she Is
able TO see baseball and understand all
the nice points of the game as she has
been doing for the last seven years.
He explains the game to her as it
progresses by means of a conversa-
tional code.
When | was twelve years DID," she
said, 'the Giants were winning the
pennant, and my father was tremen-
dously excited about it. OF course ]
asked him to explain, and he took
piece of cardboard and drew a dia-
mond on it, marking the bases. While
he told me about the game l traced
the diagram out with my fingers until
/ got the thing visualized in my mind.
Then went to the games with him
and soon learned to understand them
by means of our code, usually ex-
pressed in mOnOsyllableS a word at a
time. Soon l came to know the play
ers and, like others present, to get all

Cobb and those of more recent date,
including Benny Kauff, Ross Young
and others. She laughingly says she
has the time of her life when she goes
to a ball game. She is sure that she
sees all that is going on just about as
anyone else sees it.
Although Miss Harris was born
blind, she carries a ray of sunshine
with her wherever she goes, for she is
cheerful and optimistic. She is fond
of the outdoors and excels in walking

the treaty proper is unthinkabl
TENTH-That failure to ratify
the treaty proper is unthinkable
involving consequences most
grave in its effect upon mankind
throughout the world, and the
resultant effect upon the COM
merce of this and other nations
with which we deal.
ELEVENTH-That we believe
that the voting power of the
United States in the Council of
the League is sufficient as COM
pared to that OF Great Britain,
inasmuch as the covenant Itself
carries the remedy for any PIE
preponderance of voting power
overbalancing that of the United
States.
TWELFTH-That in view of the
Unrest in this country, as well
as throughout the world, we be-
lieve that it is imperative that
immediate action be taken.
We therefore appeal to the Sena-
5ors from Georgia and through
hem direct to the Senate to ratify
the treaty proper is unthinkable
without amendments or reserva-
lions and we firmly but respect
fully urge that this be done at the
earliest possible moment.
The shades of those who went
over and fought and died are
the living eyes and heart
strings of those who hope and
pray for Liberty, for Justive and
Tor freedom from war throughout
he world are fastened upon Wash
ngton and the Senate of the Unit
I'd States. Senators, what answer
will you give? "Will We give them
,read or stone?"

StroYed.
SIXTH - That provision for
amendments carries with it the
idea of those who framed the
League of Nations that it would
be further perfected, which lays
upon the conscience of mankind
now, as well as the future, the
heavy responsibility of doing all
possible to prevent war any
where upon this globe; to leave
no gap down through which the
fearful monster that has just
left a torn and bleeding world
may ever enter again.
SEVENTH-That the righteous
condemnation of the citizens of
the United States and of the
world Except Germans, pro-
Germans, I. w. w. and Bolshe-
wiki will rest upon that selfish
group of men who for partisan
or political purposes dare to as
sumo the responsibility for the
destruction of this, the worlds
first and, we fear, its only chance
to approach real civilization by
abolishing war among nations.
EIGHTH-That this nation, by
reason of it's ideals, by reason of
it's commerce, by reason of its
relation to other nations of the
world, by reason of its cons
cience and responsibilities be
fore God and mankind CANNOT
and DOES NOT want the selfish
isolation proposed by some. 1t
is now impossible.
NINTH-That after shedding the
blood of its noble sons upon the
battlefelds of Flanders to make
a world right, America does not
wish to selfshly withdraw in the
face of duty and conscience and
let the world drift into ware and
more wars if she can prevent it.

A PETITIsO N:

ME, the undersigned, after wait
Wing for the Senate Committee
On Foreign Relations to report on
the Treaty and after careful con-
sideFation of the amendments and
reservations proposed are firmly
convinced
FIRST--That the Importance of
early ratification of the treaty
Bithout reservations or amend
usents outweighs the amend
ments and reservations pro-
posed.
SEC0ND-That the instrument in
itself carries the remedy for
many, if not all, of the objec-
lions raised against it.
THIRD-That the right to with
draw from the League Of Ma
lions within a period of two
sears in our opinion safeguards
the rights of the United States
Ks we'll as other nations.
FOURTH That Art. X. does not
abridge the powers of the Con-
gRess to a declaration of war or
its powers to withhold that dec
saration.
FIFTH-That the matter of Shan
tnng while not meeting Amer
lean ideas of justice, is not sus-
eeptible of being settled in the
manner proposed, but to the con-
trary if amended by the substi-
tuition of China for Japan as
proposed, can only result in in

If amended as proposed would

A pretty custom is followed at bap-

are poured into the baptismal font.
