Before Manda approached, local fans
had witnessed third basing in it's Wild
est form as perpetrated by Runt Walsh
The Runt had jumped the Phillles to
swing with the Feds and when that
hamburgered organization had failed
ne was shunted from st, Louis to Mem :
phis. The former club was paying the
heaVy end OF nice contract and with
matters rocking along safely Walsh
took things easy--including baseball
Jimmy played fine ball when he felt
like It, which was seldom, and when he
cared bit he could pole out drives with
the best. But after all, his greatest
| fame was built up around the hotels
after the game was nver.
Instead of a bat, Walsh used a small
strip OF bamboo for his weapon OF at
tack, and he substituted mouthful Of
buckshot for baseball. tt
The Runt then took up his stance in
Longing chair and awaited the APP
proach of the first automobile. The
| chariot having stopped, the Runt then
opened an attack upon the hood WITH
his flock of lead, and the effect OF the
shot striking the hood was identical
with internal disturbances akin to igni-
ton.
Chauffeurs usually listened with we'll
cooked ears for three or four minutes,
or until their patience was exhausted
At this point they would jump out, hur-
riedly lift the lid and begin their in
vestigation. Some of them took off
everything but the top before they were
halted.
Walsh also used his young machine
gun in soft drink houses, slapping the
big mirror with a deadly ping. This
meant work for the jerker, who
searched in despair for the peculiar
noise. 1t was so great in Little Rock
one night that the bloke who ran the

orally as they can to the fund for

ton to such an extent as to call forth
our deepest sympathy to entitle them
10 our most generous contributions"
This Is the first voluntary Christian
Campaign to rescue prosecuted and
starving Christians In Bible Lands.
The Armenian people were convert.
ed to Christianity in the Fourth Cent
ury, and ever since they have contin.
ued the Christian church in those
lands in the face OF the most awful
prosecutions at the hands Of the Turks
ana other Mohammedan people.
IN the last year and half the Am.
er1can Nation has given most gener-
ously to many worthy causes, but
none OF them should appeal more
strongly to our sympathies than the
suffering of these unoffending peoples
of the land, which first welcomed the
Gospel of our Savior.
we may confidently believe that the
monies given will be honestly admin.

State Department of our Government
ana every dollar goes to the sufferers
themselves, as the expenses are born
