Objects to Tipping.
To the Editor, The Washington Herald

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
A tip may be defined as a bribe
paid for a service that Is already
paid for in another way. The main
objection to paying a tip is the
uncertainty as to what amount will
satisfy the person tipped. II you
pay too much he will think you are
foolish. II you pay too little you
are liable to be insulted or neg
lected. The popularity Of cafe
terias, or self-service restaurants.
Is growing immensely as a protest
against tipping.
1t Is against the law TO give tips
in Arkansas. Georgia. Iowa, Mis-
sissippi, South Carolina and Ten
inessee. Recently Congress came
near to passing a law against the
use Of government money for pay
ing tips.

Meridian's leaguers got one lone
some single off Jack Ryan at MaXent
park yesterday afternoon and the 10
Gals won, to 0 in one of the sweet
est ball games ever seen on a local
diamond. "Screech" Nelson pitched
for the visitors and did a nice job of
it but his club failed to hit behind him
and he was forced to do the entire
job. RYAN struck out Is Meridian
batsmen, refused to issue a pass or hit
matter, and made five assists and
one put out. Just q men faced him
in the entire nine innings.
Nelson was picked by Manager Re
flogle Of the Meridian club after he
had announced that Walker Bombay
would be his pitching selection. The
southpaw did a nice job so far as he
was concerned and struck out three
local batters. holding the club to five
hits, but the Meridian attack wasn't
strong enough to overcome Ryan and
the visitors are on their way home,
sadder and wiser.
Merchants attack yesterday was
based on the presumption that old
man Ryan's son was too old to field
hunts. The visitors started to lay
the ball down but after five of them
had been thrown out by Ryan they
decided there were no profits. There
was only one inning in which Ryan
failed to get a strike-out, the seventh.
In that frame. Wise grounded 10
Gaines who tossed to Ryan, Jeudevine
flied To Ellis and Parker grounded to
Ryan.
McVoy, who bats cleanup for Meri-

Mac is one of the best ball players on
the Meridian club but he had made too
many statements about what he was
going TO do TO the locals and Jack
felt is was his duty to help the young
ster forget his bad habits of talking
too much. M.gc was game and didn't
kick about the decisions. although he
asked to look at the ball frequently
but was satisfied each time that it
was all right.
Nelson came near scoring in the
last inning. With two out, Notes"
singled TO left-Center, a nice. clean hit.
He stole second and Ryan let him run
wild to third. Nelson then tried to-
steal home and was caught at the
plate, Ryan to Turnbull. Turnbulls
clothes were badly torn when Nelson's
spikes hooked him.
Jeudevine played a nice game for
the visitors and his stop of Parker's
wild heave on Turner's bunt in the
fifth easily blocked a run, Judy"

He hasmot yet reached the point where
he knows the extent of his strength to
