title OF the Ace Of Aces by
his bravery and daring during the
war, was probably the most eiated
person among the thousands who at
tended the Westminster shown Mad
ison Square Garden yesterday. The
Major Is one Of the busiest men In
this country Just now jumping from
place to place lecturing on the war
for tho benefit OF Sweet Charity. But
he found time to visit the Garden,
and during the few minutes he was
present he saw his blue beauty Blue
Goblin win premier honors among the
blue elbows. -
Blue Goblin Is one Of the best OF
his type ever seen in this country.
The noted aviator bought him in
England while on his way home from
the French front, where Major Bishop
downed seventy-six Germans officially
and one hundred and twenty-eight
unofficially. After the victory the
Major gave his pet q few affectionate
pats and then rushed out OF the
Garden to keep an engagement to
lecture in Carnegie Hall.

Sweden wants baseball. In fact. the
Swedes want baseball so BADLY that in
the invitation they extended the Ameri-se
can soccer players to visit Sweden next,
June they inserted the proviso that every
player brought along must also be abls
to play baseball. Hence the Americans
soccer invasion of Sweden next summer
turns into a ba seball invasion as well. ~
The men of King Gustaf VS. country 6
got their first taste of Americas nationale@
pastime during the Olympic games OF
1912. when team picked from among
Uncle Sammy's Olympic champions rang a

despite the fact that Ernie Hjertberg
had tipped OF the Yankees that ,thGs
Swedes had an aggregation that put the,
old Baltimore Orioles to shame. ~

turedly. II for nothing else the contest 2.
showed the Northlanders the possibilities
OF Americas great game and gave base-, ;
ball a good start in Sweden. That tho
game has progressed far enough
along for the Swedes to show willingness
to engage in another diamond duel with
their American rivals Is proved In the
