BLIND GIRL FAN OF YANKEES
FOLLOWS GAME BY SOUNDS
BY JAMES

N. r. A Stan Correspondent.
NEW YORK.-Ball onei Thirty
thousand pairs Of eyes are fixed
upon Babe Ruth as he stands at
the plate in the Polo Grounds.
Then a strikel
Another ball is on its way to the
catcher's mitt, but
Babes bat has met 1t with a solid
crash and the ball speeds on its
way over the grandstand in right
field
Before anyone else. a young
girl wearing black spectacles
has scnsed what has happened.
She leans over the box, leading
the cheers.
The girl is Mildred Harris. daugh-
ter of Charles X. Harris who wrote
After the Ball." which has been
sung in every corner of the earth
to which Americans have penetrated.
She has never seen Babe Ruth.
though she is at the Polo Grounds
three or four times a week. She
has never seen her father. She has
been blind from birth. Yet she IS
an ardent baseball fan, and follows
the games as intelligently and as
closely as many persons who have
their eyesight .
Different Sound.
"A safe hit has a sound entirely
different from a foul or an easy
|grounder," she explains. las for
Babe Ruth's homers, they have a
sound all their own, and they are
the sweetest music / have ever
known"
Before the game Ruth was in
troduced to her by Ping Bodie who,
like all the other Yanks. considers
Miss Harris a mascot. Miss Harris
wished Babe good luck.
Your father will tell you IL I
get a homer" he said.
"Oh. he won't have to do that"
she replied. And he didn't.
Before each game her father reads
to Miss Harris the lineups of the
two opposing teams. That is all.
Then he sits back and enjoys the
game.
HIS daughter is fully capable
of following what happens
through the sound Of bat and
ball and mitt and through the
umpire's decisions. Ii is the
rarest thing for her to have to
ask a question.
Keen Memory.
Who is up next. who is on base.
how many are out, how many runs
have been scored-all this Miss
Harris keeps in her mind by means
of her marvellous retentive memory.
OF course. Miss Harris is a New
York rooter. She thinks both the
Yanks and the Giants have good
chances to win this year. but she
warns the Giants that they must win
and not divide double-headers and
the Yankees must form the habit
of winning consistently. instead OF
in spurts.
Baseball First.
Miss Harris cares for no other
sports, but she is so fond OF base
ball that she refused 20 go to the
country this summer. even though
her father promised TO bring her 70
the city for one game each week.
In the winter she has her books and
her studies. but dun ing the baseball
season they take second place.
