to thinking along new line as re-
CARDS The money end Of 1t.
The Yankees played an exhibition
game In Louisville and the Babe, as
the big noise, was the center Of at
traction, Of course. He gave the usu-
al amount of time to visiting a school
for boys, talked to them In the way
they like, extolling the Idea Of pla7'
Ing ball to win for the sake Of win
ming, admonlshlng them to always
play fair and square, etc.
Then Ruth went to the ball park.

BASEBALL RULE OVERLOOKED
No Longer Any Such Play az "5ail

Baseball players Of the fields and
the smaller cities seem to have over
looked the fact that the rule about q
pitched ball accidentally hitting the
bat, even though the batter tries to
dodge II. has been annulled. There
Is no longer any such play as the ball

STARLINeS DISLIKE WAR

Birds Flee as Soldiers Come TO Gan
den City, but Return Now.
Starlings ought to attend the arma-
ment limitation conference en- massa.
for they have demonstrated to the
people Of Garden City, N. T., that they
dislike war.
When In 1917 the soldiers came
tramping down to Camp Miles and the
flying fields around Mineola, the birds
imported from England twenty years
before, fled. They stayed away unttl
Miles was abandoned and the flying
fields became less active.
Now they are back, nesting In tho
spire OF the Garden City cathedral and
making Hampstead plains echo with
their chatter.
