By W. A, PheIOn

Don't forget. among the memories of the recent series, that Clarence Mitchell. of the Brook1yns, broke all records in baseball history. Mitch, in, two successive times at bat, put out five of his own team, and that's some thing without a parallel. It was Mitchell who hit into the famous unassisted triple play and the next time he came up he slammed into a double killing.
 Babe Ruth refuses to stay quiet. The other day he announced that he would not accept vaudeville con tract for $s.0o0 a week because they wanted him to do four shows a day Next, he will probably refuse a movie contract that requires him to wear q dress suit in the second reel. Trust the Busting Babe to come through with a new story every time Dempsey and Carpenter do anything to get any attention. -:..f

He would lash out with right or left, shooting the blow home with light ming like speed and rocking Brennan with the force of it. Yet he was not f1udginr distance as of old and Bren- - nan's head kept swinging from side { to side in a manner that made him \ an awkward target. At close range however, Dempsey pummelled the Chi W cagoan unmercifully and there were times when it seemed that he surely must go down. o.. a At no time during the fight was Dempsey in distress.

LET'S GO

Put one hundred men on an island where fish is a staple article of sus- tenance. Twenty-Five of the men catch fish: Twenty-Five others clean the fish. Twenty-Five cook the fish, Twenty five hunt fruit and vegetables. The entire company eats what thus is gath cred and prepared.
 So long as everybody works there is plenty. All hands are happy.
 Ten of the allotted fish catchers stop catching fish.
 Ten more dry and hide part of the fish they catch
 Five continue to catch fish, but work only part of the day at it.
 Fewer fish go into the community kitchen
 But the same number of men insist upon having the same amount of fish to eat as they had before.
 The fifty men who formerly cleaned and cooked the fish have less to do owing to the undersupply of fish. But they continue to demand food
 Gradually greater burdens are laid upon the fruit and vegetable hunters These insist upon larger share 0 fish in return for their larger efforts in gathering fruit and vegetables. It is denied them and soon twenty of the twenty-five quit gathering fruit and vegetables.
 But the entire one hundred men in- sist upon their right to eat
 The daily food supply gradually shrinks. The man with two fish de- mands three bananas in exchange for one of them. The man with two ba- nanas refuses to part with one for fewer than three fish.
 Finally the ten men remaining at work quit in disgust Everybody con- tinues to eat. The hidden fish are brought to light and consumed. Comes a day when there is no food of any
