DANGEROUS.

DABE RUTH is likely to have a
ID hospital bill TO pay in the near
future II he continues his new pas
time OF batting old balls into the
stands for the youngsters
Bambino packs a heavy cudgel
and he strikes a mean blow with IL.
When he found out that his home
run circus was becoming old stun
he figured up the new one TO get
under the spot.
The sentiment OF the thing Is
splendid. Everybody wants one OF
the balls nicked by the famous slug
ger-but it's dangerous, especially
TO women fans.

in a vcritable barrage. Even In the
darkness several of these missiles took

Upon reaching the very apex Of the

That settled matters for Bartholo-

WAS the protest from the wheels Of
