| the Home Defense League won from
the Police Department by to 5. in the
| annual diamond contest for the bene.
| fit of the police relief fund. Both teams
| wanted to win, but the main object
| was to get a crowd and sell as many
| tickets as possible in order to give
! that relief fund a big boost Just how
| many persons went to the park to see
| the ball game, as compared with the
| number there to see the President. is
| impossible to say. but 1t would be safe
| to place the ratio at about 1 to 200.
| At least, that seems a conservative
ratio when it is realized how many
| how few would be a more accurate ex-
| pression-attend the usual benefit
| contests at the big league field. About
| 10000 tickets were sold.
1t was a pretty good ball game at
| that, despite q few slip-ups on tn,
