BABE RUTH HITS
 OUT 44TH HOME
 RUN OF SEASON
Yankees Star Slugger Now Fifteen Runs Ahead of
 Old Worlds Record.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-"Babe' Ruth, champion home run hitter of tic world, pounded out his forty fourth circuit clout of the season in yesterdays game, putting him fif- teen runs ahead of last year s record for the entire season.
 Reports received here from Wash ington today said Ruth and his home runs have been investigated by Uncle Sam and both have been given an official o. K.
 Some of the friends of the cham pion home run hitter of all time decided some time ago that it might be that Ruth's home runs were due in some part to the diff ference in baseballs used this year in the major leagues so they gathered up a number of baseballs the Yankee player had hit out of the parks and sent them to the bureau Of stand ards here for investigation.
 Those balls were put through a third degree" if baseballs ever had such an experience. Scientists pounded, beat, and dismembered them and reported that there was nothing in them that would cause them to ride" farther when hit than baseball heretofore used. In effect, the scientists said, it was the Babes" mighty blows that pro duced his home runs

GOLFERS PART WITH CLOTHING SOMETIMES
 BUT "STICkS" NEVER

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27.- Golfers as class are singu- larly immune from depleted fin ances, but their clubs are the last of their possessions with which they part, in the opinion of a San Francisco man on a recent investigation.
 Wishing to take up the game, he made canvass of the pawn shops of the city, hoping to find bargains in clubs. He found on sale as forfeited pledges unlimited quantities of jewelry, family plate, family portraits and loads of wearing apparel ranging from dilapi- dated shoes to furs of great price. Nearly all the shops were also well equipped with the paraphernalia of various sports-but no golf clubs; not a single club.
 We had a nice set once," volunteered the keeper of one shop, but it didn't stay here long,
 That was as near as he was able to get a set of pawned golf clubs.

 Among the 15 are several who have brought fame to the United States through victories in the in ternational balloon classics. Upson,
 present international title holder. entered as soon as the race was an nounced and is regarded by many experts as having an excellent chance to win.
 10 Civilian Entries. Three bags have been entered by l the Army Air Service, one by tho Navy and another by the Army Bal loon School, Fort Omaha. The other 10 balloons have been entered by civilians.

 France three, Italy three, United States three. Great Britain one and Belgium one.

When a blind. deaf mute could easily see it's so
BY the way your shining features seem to

And you tell him you'd be happier alone
With a little Arctic lake In which to jump.
But you shake them vainly, for the world seems

OF lot of chaps with little else to do
On day when it's hundred in the shade,
Than to yell: say 1t is hot enough for
