ball against the Cleveland Indians
world champions, than they do
against the Chicago White Sox, a

They try harder against the In

bitterness between them.

mentioned by Vitruvius, and the ruins
of the Tower of the Winds, of which
he speaks, still stands in Athens. This
building was erected about century
before the Christian era. He writes:
'Those who have paid most atten-
tion to the winds make them eight In
number, and particularly Andronicus

octagonal tower of marble and cut on
each face the figure of the several
winds, each looking to the quarter

And he contrived 1t that the figure
moved round with the wind so that
1t constantly stood opposite 1t, and the
rod, which was above the figure,
showed In what direction the wind
blew"

a compulsory participant, they would
have turned the session into riot OF
amazement. Noble was In the very

most notorious: here was no bosom OF

over, Mr.. II. !. Atwater, Senior, was
