Women of Indiana viii not be organ
lied TO fight the high cost of living, ac-
cording to word received from the depart
ment of justice at Washington by Miss
Eleanor Barker, who was appointed chair
man of this state.
Miss Barker says she was Informed that
Indiana would not be organized on ac-
count of lack of funds
The appropriation made by the con-
gress at the last session to light prohteer-

The fact that several OF the field or

no further steps are being taken in or

II regret very much that we shall not

Bx KArHLEEN MCKEE.

Having heard that the charity ball
games at Washington park Saturday
would have an "all-star'' cast-I mean
team-I decided that since 1t was a CHAR
ity affair l would just naturally be let in.
Ny nerve was nearly destroyed, how
ever, when l was mobbed by dozen or
so girls who waved gigantic yellow cards
at me, which I later found out were
score cards, but my courage returned
when I saw some coffee pots. for sap
posed the charity consisted of serving free
cups of coffee during the intermission
between the acts, but l later found the
pots were to contain money for the Sal
vation Army.
Ny attention was focused on a bunch
of men in a big field, who, attired in dirty
colored suits, were entertaining them
selves with insane antics.
About this time a man yelled something
through a megaphone, reminding me of
a side show at circus; whereupon grace
full attitudes were assumed by the actors.
My attention was attracted to an in
dividual who wore a soft cushion tied
around his neck. which, my neighbor
assured me, was a "tummy" protector.
Two of tho players must have been
awful savage, because they were muz-
zled
A nice red suit was worn by one of
the players, while another wearing socks
of patriotic red. white and blue COM
bination, attracted my attention.
An orange Indian club which was used
by one man relieved the monotony of
the scene.
An "ofacial Big League Scout aged
u. patrolled the field with dignity.
THE BANDS
WENT UNNoTICED.
Baseball players must be like dancers.
since two jazz bands provided the music
for their game, but 1 regarded those two
bands wasted, since nobody paid any at
tention to them, and l could have ap-
preciated them so much on hardwood
floor.
As near as 1 could tell the game con-
sisted of one man trying to hit little
ball with a stick, and If he accomplished
this feat, all the rest tried to beat 1t off
the field, although some of them took
an awfully roundabout way of doing II:
Every time the man with the little stick
was successful in hitting the ball heaven
ward its ascent was accompanied by a
yell from the crowd, which seemed quite
unnecessary to me.
The audience also yelled whenever one
of the players started to run off the
field. and 1 can't say l blamed them
for It was a dirty way for man to try
to sneak out of the game.
A man in a blue suit stood in the
middle of the field and did nothing, and
Just what his connection with the game
was l am sttll trying to figure out
In my estimation baseball game is
very unfair proposition since some
have to work so much harder than 9th
ers: for instance two OF the players
sneaked way out to the edge Of the held
where they had little work to do.
1t was annoying exceedingly the way

central actors didn't seem to care one
way or another
My sympathy was aroused by one fat
individual who did his Level best to run,
although the crowd did not applaud him
one bit
I noticed also that number of the
players wore white medals over their
hearts, which, l supposed, had been
awarded for bravery in action.
Why some pitchers got a half dozen
trials at throwing the ball and another
only one was a mystery to me.
A photographer took his life in his
hands in venturing into such den or
lions.
One player without any reason started
tearing around the field like mad dog
while the crowd yelped appreciation, and
then about the time / was getting inter
ested he stopped and all the players quit
again and new bunch came on.
Frankly speaking, / never saw such
badly arranged exits in any show before.
Just then ball sailed in my direction
and treribled for my life, but II hit the
wire above my head and [ still li'ed.
The monotony of the game was re-
lieved by a clown-like player who took
an artistic running tumble in the dust
and then looked at the audience in
most aSton1SneQ 1aSnlon.
Just then. a ball took an upward curve
and descended on the back of one of the
players. and 1 didn't blame him one bit
for looking cross when the crowd
| laughed.
Two enthusiastic ball chasers fell over
each other in trying to get the ball
whereupon a lively parley took place
over in the corner of the field near me.
'WeiI, / wish they would stop argu-
ing and get to work. I said.
NV companion turned q condescending
gaze on me and told me that the game
was over. that it was a tie; he didn'i
take the trouble to tell me what kind.

Then the Rotary players came on the
field and In a second the Kiwanis made an
appearance, but I couldn't for two cents

One Of them must have been a great
player Judging from the embraces he goi
when he came Off the field.
From time TO time there was a buzzine
sound like a bunch OF locusts. which
