The Cincinnati Reds are prob
ably plnctfing themselves today to
discover whether they are, awake
or not.
John McGraw, manager of the Giants,
did not concede that the Reds were the
National league pennant winners until
they had actually clinched the flag.
John then came to bat with the an
nouncement that the Giants had been
defeated by the C%incinnatians for the
flag.
John is nothing If not careful and
conservative.

~ RESIDENT JOHN D. MARTIN, of the Southern Association
Of Baseball Clubs, has announced that the annual meeting
~ OF the Dixie major will be held at league headquarters in
STI Memphis on Monday, Dec. 10. All club owners have been
fSxA. notified of the impending session and will be here i'm battle
array when the time arrives.
SS There are a number OF important matters coming up for
disposition at the annual fall meeting, chief OF which will be the cleo.
ton of . president for the ensuing term. 1t Is generally conceded that
President Martin Will be renamed, II he has served very capably and
handled the affairs of the league very acceptably to all club owners.
Under his administration the Southern has had one of the best finan.
.chl years of its existence.
In addition to this important proposition, the revision of the seven.
player rule, as it applies to Southern league clubs, will come up. The
general consensus of opinion among club owners in the sunland major
Is that the rule should be changed to read 10 class A players and five
below that class, in order to provide a better brand of baseball for
1920. Some radical change in the rule will be made, it is assured.
The sessions of the league will be held at league headquarters, ON
the seventh floor of the Exchange building, and will be presided over
by President Martin. 1t is expected that the deliberations of the league
magnates will continue through two days.

When the Shamrock begins to sprout and the grass

And the boys get out in left field and deep center
And the batter-np raps out homer, wfth tSUo on

days will be here again, with
the Colonies fighting for the

Get in on the baseball season
right at the beginning, with all
the preseason gossip of who's
to be who on the team and in
the league. The way to do it is
to read the sporting pages of
The Courier-J Journal and The
Louisville Times, where base
ball is written by experts who
know the game. And besides
there is the racing news every
track follower wants, besides
other sporting activities inter-
estingly reviewed.
The sporting pages form
just small part of what you
get in the The Courier-Jo Journal
and The Louisville Times. There
are Comics and cartoons every
day and Sunday for every
member of the family to laugh
over. Fashion and homemaking
pages and store news, for wives
and mothers, Selected fiction
and short stories for the girls

SLEEP.

Wen a persin is asleep, he don't know it, vile wen he is awake he knows it, unless he's too sleepy.
 It is possible to sleep enyware. but bed is the best place, because if pee pie see you sleeping there they will know you're doing it on purpose and wont wake you up. It is fashionable to take your clothes off before you go to sleep, not being absilootly neces- sary but being more of a change.
 The easiest way to go to sleep is jest close your eyes and wait, and after a vile if you're still waiting you know you aint asleep yet. It is more plezzant to wake up than wat it is to get up.
 Unconscious sounds made vile you are asleep is known as snoring. Shores affect the ones that heer them more than the ones that snore them. Some snores sound almost impossible, and if people could heer themselves making them they would proberly wake up and lissen.- This proves that moro things are wasted than we have eny ideer of
 Berds sleep with their heds stuck under their wings as if they dident have eny, and horses can sleep stand ing up, wich so could we if we had a leg on every corner.

MARY CUTTER.

Before the era of railroads, auto mobiles and electric cars it was nd mean feat to journey 1000 miles yet this remarkable accomplishment was completed in the still more remarka- ble time of 700 hours by one Mary Cutter, who lived in Lancashire England. It was early in May, 1759, that the young woman wagered with some sports in the neighborhood of her home that she could travel the distance mentioned in a thousand hours. Everybody ridiculed her, for such speed had never been heard oS; Just how she accomplished it his tory does not mention, but 1t is evil dent that she did it on horseback or in a coach or both. However she did it. Mary compleed the journey in a little more than two-thirds of the allotted time and when she returned to her native town the people strew- ed flowers in her path.

The New Clothes

The over-the-skirt idea in blouses adapted for this season resulted in the development of two distinct types, the all-around overblouse and the apron or tablier waist that is content with a front panel to give the waist coat effect under a suit. This last is especially adaptable for suit wear in New York, where women are seldom seen to take off their coats in public places, so that, for this use, the pep lum running completely around back and front seems superf1uous. At first buyers were divided in their opinion as to the stability of the different styles, some of them going in heavily for the apron front, others negIecting it in preference for the aII-around type.
