There are many things hat n ear

To build up a nifty pile
But IL you can, be an athlete
So you'll keep your health and

gloves, al
And it's found in ball bats, too

Don't forget the billiard cue,
Jack Dempsey is the boxing glove
ace right now with his 100000
match with Carpenter coming up
IN New York-London-Paris or
Podunk.
Babe Ruth gets $40, 900 a year
for boarding with the New York
Yankees and swinging a ball bat a
few times during the afternoon per-
Torrance.
But this is mere pin money for
the Bambino. By Christmas he'll
have sailed down around 100000
for exhibiting the bat which he
made his homerun record with.
Vardon and Ray, couple of Eng
lishmen who visited America last
summer, cleaned up $4,000 for

exhibitions and bona fide matches

Willie Hoppe. Greenleaf and other
stars of today will keep right on
making their pile up into their if-
ties and sixties.
What do you suppose Dempsey

are fifty or even forty? They'll
probably be healthy and wealthy
but they won't be using boxing
gloves or ball bats.

Crooks Don't Tell OH Female Pals.

Los Angeles, Oct. l9.--A; man
crook won't tell on woman, accord
ing to the higher-ups Of the Los An
geles police department, who say
that's why so few women get into
Jail.
Opening of the tourist season
brings an increase in arrests Of bunco
men and pickpockets and in. many
cases the. police are satisfied women
are implicated, but they can't get
the evidence. The men always
"stand pat"
The police say this is partly due to
mans instinct to protect woman and
partly to, the fact that its nice to
have someone on the outside who can
bring fruit, cake, cigarettes and 9TH
er dclicacics to a man behind the bars
There has been only one case in
police history of many years where
4 man blamed a woman, and he was
not professional. Other prisoners
sneered at him and did many things
to show contempt for "thc man who
told"

plexions sdual-a yamps. IL
This spFoblem' IN moral 'n,atifer1at
les was worked out here 4yestesdaY5E
Police Chief Joseph NJ. Quigley, in
discussing the cause and effect of
the flirting nuisance.
The chief maintained that if there
were no yamps There could be no
n,asherss and that every woman who
dresses immodestly comes 5automat
ieally within the category of vamp,
regardless of what her morals may
Be.
$50 long as women continue to
appear in public in costumes which,
to say the least, should be reserved
for the boudoir, they will be regard
ed by men as a walking invitation
to start filtration" Quigfey said.
81 do not believe; a modestly dress
ed woman has anything to fear any
where. I never have been able to
figure out why women and girls dress
or rather understand paint them
selves the way they do. Assuredly
most of them are entirely innocent
Of any wrong motive. But as long
as they have the outward appearance
of welcoming a filtration they will
be accommodated.

the thing started again, he got his
foot on the wrong lever and the result
was that instead of going ahead like
Ford is supposed, to do, it started
in to climb up the cast iron lamp
post standing there on the corner.
The lomp post refused to stand for
it and dropped over on the ground
for long rest. No damages result
ed save for the broken lamp post and
shaken-up driver and the chances
are that Phil will stick to the ponies
from now on.
