THAT IT was the first time.
SHE'D BEEN to a game.
AND THE reason she came.
WAS TO see Mr.. Ruth.
AND WOULD 1 tell her.
WHEN HE made home run.
WHICH SHE seemed to think.
HE WOULD surely do.
AND l said ! would.
AND WHATEVER inning.
1T HAPPENED in.
I'VE FORGOTTEN now
BUT THE Babe came up,
WITH HIS mighty bat.
AND THERE was applause.
AS THERE always is
WHEN BABE appears
AND THEN the hush
THAT SETTLES down.
WHEN BABE swings back.
AND WATTS the bail,
AND THEN the ball.
AND THEN the crash.
AND EVERYONE.
EXCEPT THIS girl,
STOOD UP and yelled
AS THE ball sped on.
AND INTO the stand.
WHERE THE right field lies.
AND THEN the Babe.
WITH HAT in hand.
AND A smile on his face.
AS HE ambled back.
TO THE players bench,
AND THE cheering ceased.
AND WE all sat down,
AND l told the girl.

STRICKEN BALL PLAYERS.
Three Members of the "Giants" Hav'
tuberculosis.


Three members of the Giants baseball
team are in the grip of the great white
plague, tuberculosis. To close readers OF
sporting pages this may not be news and,
indeed. the ravages of tuberculosis are so
general rs TO be commonplace and there
fore not news except in exceptional cases,
like the ones of these baseball players, be-
cause they all happen to be members OF
one team. Yet such cases point to the
urgent need for Tightening up on tubercu-
losis prevention. This is just what the
Delaware Anti-Tuberculosis Society recog-
nizes and is trying TO promote through the
sale of Christmas seals and health bonds
now underway for tuberculosis prevention
in this State
Organizations that work among the
poorer class of people are going the limits
In support of this work for the prevention
of tuberculosis. For instaCce, Evangeline
Booth, commander of the Salvation Army
in the United States, said recently;
"The call to enlist in the fight against
the great white plague is one that every
individual, every social and religious
agency, every trade and industry ana
every element in our population can
answer Fundamentally. To the public at
large the enterprise should appeal because
the night against TINS scoufRe 10 a winning
fight Thanks to the devoted work OF
scientific men and women, 1t rs now known
that tuberculosis can not only be prevent
ed. but also that it can be cured in very
many cases. Ii IS certainly no exaggeratlon
to say that the battle will be won the
instant the people in general come to
complete realization of the imperativeness
OF the preventive and restrictive measures
that have been devised
With early honors for sales of seals and
health bonds in proud possession OF the
Hotel du Pont booth, keen rivalry be
tween the committees for daily and weekly
highest amounts secured has arisen. The
Hotel du Pont sales during the day are IN

COX AND THE LEAGUE

Ii may yet be necessary to invoke
the League OF Nations to restore peace
between Governor Cox and his cam
paign manager, George White.
MIR. Whites lnterpretative comments
on the Democratic candidates attitude
toward the league have now reached
the point where Governor Cox has felt
Ii necessary to serve blunt warning on
the chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee to talk less and saw
more wood. In plain terms, Governor
Cox has rebuked the national chair
man ana told him to mind his own
business.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer, one of
the leading Democratic organs in Ohio
administered the rebuke in recent is
sue and 1t is not the less pointed be-
cause Of the camouflage with which
II is surrounded. 1t all came about
through Mr.. Whites statement that
the League of Nations Would not be
the predominant issue In the campaign.
Stung by the wide publicity given the
White statement and the resentment
it awakened in the breasts of the loyal
Wilson following, the Plain Dealer was
commissioner to administer the public
rebuke to White. 1t is sufficient to
say that the singing call-down Of the
national chairman would not have APP
peared in Democratic organ under a
Dayton headline, nor have been writ
ten by w. G. Howells, journalist of
wide repute, had its publication not
been authorized from headquarters
After saying that Mr.. Whites state
ments of Mr.. Cox's policy "have
aroused considerable comment here,
Mr.. Howells continues:
"ThoSe in closest touch with Gov
James NJ Cox, the Democratic nom
inee, are of the opinion that the re-
ports concerning Whites utterances
are misrepresenting, and are further
of the opinion that any statements of
that tenor attributed TO the national
chairman were not authorized by the
governor.
at Is the view of these political ad'
visers that the issues that will be
fought out in the presidential cam
paign have been in part determined by
the party platform and will, In part, be
determined by the candidate in his
speech of acceptance. There will be
no disposition. II is said. to burden the
national chairman and campaign man
ager with duties other than those per
tanning directly to the direction OF the
campaign"
1t is the last sentence of this rebuke
which contains the sting which may
move Chairman White 10 thoughts oil
resignation Of some kind or other.

with those of Bryan in the counties
which went Democratic in the prsiden-
tial race of 1908. The vote in the rural
counties shows also that Cox is far
from being strong with the farmers.
These facts clearly indicate that
Ohio's vote would normally go to Sen
ator Harding. That It will go to him
is evidenced even more by his great
personal popularity and the constantly
increasing strength of his candidacy
among the people of his native state.
