Queer Sort Of Assist.

They pulled a new one for the
book in a game between the
Phillies and Braves at Philadei-
phia recently. In the sixth IN
ming, Pitcher Belts was hit on
the head by a line drive and
the ball bounded into left fleid'
where Wrightstone caught it for
a putout. This play is on a par
with the one at Houston last
spring when the Cardinals were
playing an exhibition. Johnny
Layan hit a line drive, which hit
the pitcher, Buscha, in the heao
and bounded back to the catcher
for the out.

Baseball
Notes

AS the baseballs get nveller the
game gets slower.
The American league Is q neck
ahead Of the National in the home-run
race.
The Indians without Steve OMEN
are like Uncle Toms Cabin without
his cabin.
The average height Of major league
stars is s feet 1Oh inches. The aver
age age is 20.
Barney Dreyfuss Is mistaken. Bet
ting on Pittsburgh was not gambling
but has been a cinch.
iris Speaker has been robbed Dy
some one who stole home on him at
his lake camp In Canada.
Detectives. who are investigating
the manufacturing of the lively ball,
should take a look into some OF the
bat factories.
If club had three ginks like Babe
Ruth It wouldn't need the other SIX.
One could pitch, one could eaten ana
one could bat
Rube Marquard would rather pitch
against his old teammates. the Giants,
than any other outfit in the National
league arena.
Between big league home runs and
automobile price reductions, the well
informed citizen has about all ne car
i do to keep up with current events.
/ John Evers says his main objection
TO the "livelier" ball is that somebod!
IN the infield is likely to break a lei

New YOrk.-Several letters from
scientists living under the Bolshevist
regime In Russia and other documents
describing the conditions under which
the Russian scientists are living at
present are made public by A. ]. Sack,
director of the Russian information
bureau in the United States, represent
ing In this country the Russian demo-
cratic anti-Bolshevist forces. This ma
terial came to Mr. Sack through Prof.
Boris Sokoloff, leading member OF
the party Of Socialist-Revolutionists
and deputy to the First AliRussian
constitutional assembly. Professor
Sokolof is now In Prague, Czechoslo-
vakia.
The statement says. that according
to official Bolshevist statistics 42O
Russian scientists died Of starvation
during the last three years.
The names Of the Russian scientists
who wrote these letters were not
given, as this, it is said, would expose
them to Bolshevist persecution. De
scribing the conditions under which
the scientists are now living In Rus
sia, Professor X, writes:

weghty form bounced on him from
the back an relieved him of the SO

AS soon as Mr.. Brooks could catch
his breath from the surprise and VIC
lence of the attack, he attempted to
draw a pocket knife. His assailant
was also armed with a knife, however
and in the skirmish that followed
1 Mr.. BrOokS's clothing was cut in sew

the arm of the robber and trying tC
