Kid Gleason announces to the
baseball world that he has his 1921
White Sox all set for the big splash.
Last season the Kid had crew of
diamond stars that were all to the
top notch. His sailing was pretty
and he had his machine working on
all nine cylinders.
Then lot of parts went blooie
and the long famous White Sox bus
broke down with a crash.
And did the Kid toss the whole
sheebanag in the scrap heap?
He gathered together the parts he
could depend upon. They formed a
nuclus for a new machine. All tried
and true-something to build upon.
Then the Kid stepped out and
grabbed hold of the sections that
were needed. 1t was slow work.
When the opening baseball gun
is fired, the Chicago White Sox, will
be there at the starting line. OF
General Public, as judge, won't be
able to disqualify any man that
Gleason has picked.
And as the Gleason machine goes
sailing around the circuit. baseball
fans will likely want to yell:

SPEED BALL Is NEW

Speedball!
It's the new game for school kids,
But even dad can play it if he
likes.
A close relation to the national

name implies-a speedy and peppy
outdoor pastime.
It's faster game than either out

only seven innings and the average
game is played in half an hour.

Instead of a side batting unit

vide for only four batsmen facing
the pitcher in an inning.
Even If the first three @1en up fan
out, the fourth batter gets his swing.
In this event, however, the fourth
batter would have to crack out a
home run in order to tally a count
that inning. When he's through
the side is automatically retired.
On the other hand. If the bases
are full with no outs. and the fourth
man fails to hit or get a walk, no
runs are scored. The teamis four

inning.
This limiting of batters speed.

The rules and regulations of
speedball, with the exception of the
number OF men at bat, and the num-
ber of innings. are the same as those
in indoor baseball.
An indoor baseball and bat are
used.
DIR. william Burdick, president of
the Public Athletic League of Mary

keeps 10000 Maryland boys at play
and it is Burdick's job to provide
sports that best fit conditions.

Mamma asked her to help Roger pile the wood which Helen did, and she got 50 cents and Helen could save 25 cents week from her allowance.

Let. compare the agricultural develop ment of Argentina with the agricultural development of New England. The Eng fish found New England heavily wooded. The vast area of Argentina was for the most part a treeless plain. The early settlers of New England had first to clear off the forests to get farming land. The plains of Argentina were ready for the blow. New England was covered with boulders and rocks brought down by the great glaciers. Argentina was practical ly free from rocks and stones. New Eng land was very hiiiy, and in some DOT tions mountainous.
 The hilly or mountainous character of New England worked against its agricul- tural development in several ways. First the soil of a hilly country is likely to be | light and thin, so that after the forests have been removed even then much of 1 the land cannot be tiled. Again. the hilly conditions together with the numerous lakes and rivers of New England made road and afterward railroad building | very difficult. Often 12 or IS miles of road had to be built to connect two places only seven or eight miles apart.
 | Contrast this condition with the plain: l of Argentina, where for miles and mile: every square rod of land can be tiled where roads and railways can be bull extending hundreds and even thousand. of miles in perfectly straight lines. TheI | we begin to see why Argentina has beer able to develop its resources so rapidly | Argentina has great resources still 10 b | developed, and she may one day be on
 of the great nations of the world. Soutl
 America is surely coming into it's own.

It is necessary to overcome lot of handicaps, and to make the most of the opportunities if we hope to get to the top.
 Now to most boys and girls 1t Is sim ply question of making up their minds to do it, making use of your eyes, ears and brains and keeping steadily at it. Under normal conditions all have the same opportunity even if they do not al- ways have the same inclination.
 But there are those who work under handicaps, and serious ones, too You will all be interested to know that in an essay contest for members of the three upper grades in San Francisco recently the winner was a 15 year old deaf boy. and he won a handsome pony as the prize.
