DEMON GIRL BALL SWATTER

Babe Ruth may be king of Swat"
and Iris Speaker may lead both
American and National Leagues with
an average of better than 400 with
the stick-but why speak of such
tribes?
What would you think of a ball
team on which six of the nine play
ers had batting averages of 500?
Fans may say there's no SIGH an
imile," but it's a fact that the team
composed of girl employees of The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company
at Akron, Ohio, has this terrific clout
ing record to date in 1920.
Florence Martin, who handles the
hot shot around third base in a
manner creditable to most male play
ers, is the demon swatter of the
team. Her average tops 500 by sew
eral points and in one game she ham
mered out three home runs.
That the team has keen batting
eyes is evidenced by the fact that in
q recent game the girls piled out
seven circuit clouts.
The team is unlike others OF the
gentler sex that have toured the
country at various times. Usually
girls teams have men for the bat
terry work and on first base, but the
Goodyear team is composed entirely
of girl employees. They have beaten
the Goodrich, Miller and Westing-
house Electric Company of Pittsburg
girl teams and have yet to taste de-
feat.
The star pitcher sends the ball
past the batter with lots of stuff and
when a slide is necessary, the girls
hit the grit and pick up the hair pins
and combs afterwards.
By beating the previously unde-
feated Westinghouse girls team, the
Goodyear girls claim the amateur
industrial championship of the Unit
ed States for girls. Goodyear News

LONDON, Aug. 17.-Eugenic court
ships are being conducted this month
at the Herne Bay beach, near Lon
don, where crowds are swarming to
witness the spectacle OF lovers, GER
happy interlude between engagement
and marriage.
The couples are enrolled as stu.
dents of the summer School of Eu-
genics and Civics, whose numbers are
limited to ninety-nine. The official
reason given for this odd figure Is
that experience shows that such a
number is neither unwieldy nor
non social" :.
In every case the engagement has
been preceded by the exchange OF de-
tailed medical vertifcates, and ii Is
held that the summer study oi
eugenics OF healthily matched mer
and girlssunder conditions prevailing
at Herne Bay gives the students ar
ideal opportunity to discover whether
they are mated as well Temperament
tally as physically.
Spectators are disappointed at the
course pursued by eugenic love
They say 1t lacks the abandon of tn,
uncertifed spooning of lovers who
splash together in the sea and spraw
about on the sands. The students
are extremely self-conscious. III thi,

WARSAW HAS HAD
A STORMY CAREER

warsaw has had a stormy and
dramatic career in history. 1t
became the capital of the king
dom OF Poland early In the sew
enteenth century. when the seat
OF government was moved there
from Cracow.
From 1795 to 1906 II was In
|, possession OF the Prussians.
From 1907 to 1913 IL was the
capital of the Duchy of warsaw.
In 1918 IL became capital OF the
new kingdom of Poland.
In 1880 Warsaw rose against
Russia, but in the following year
the armies OF the Car entered
the city.
warsaw lies on the left bank
OF the Vistula river, which is
spanned by a celebrated bridge,
partly destroyed when the Ger
mans occupied the city in 1918.
II was formerly a walled city"
with eleven gates. A semi-cir-
Gle Of sixteen forts defended IT.
Warsaw has many beautiful
buildings and next to I.odz is
the most important industrial
city in Poland. 1t lies on a hill
commanding a fine view of the
surrounding country.
