RoILER SKATING TOURNEY.

Five hundred boys and girls rep
resenting various neighborhood as
sociations, enjoyed skating at the
Rodney reservoir last night. Rran-
don Kilmon was chairman of the
evening.
The event took the place Of the
weekly band concerts and sings, which
were discontinued three weeks ago
because of lack of funds. The sue
cess which attended last nights
event, it is believed, will increase
the interest in roller skating. Other

Dear Battleaxe;-
] have been reading quite a
mess OF talk about certain girls
baseball teams and their argu-
ments with umpires. Now
think all this talk. back and
forth, is a lot of rot and may
have a tendency toward curbing
the enthusiasm that has attend
ed each and every game played
at the Heights. ! have seen two
or three games there myself
lately and n verbal fuss or two
can be expected in any eXhibi-
ton Of the national pastime, but
keep away from the argum snts
through the newspapers. As /
say, arguments can be expected
but keep them on the bail field.
None OF us want to see ga IS
20 the way OF boxing for -
girls get too much enjoyment
and exercise out Of the hour or
more sport in the evenings.
And another thing. / do not
believe n 1zing the girls OF
any OF the teams. In more tnan
one instance you will find that 1t
is not the girls on the opposing
teams that do the talking but
the MEN COACHES. They give
the fair tossers a black eye.
Some of this sort OF stun has
come from the direction OF tho
Press team but / do not believe
the manager or any Of the mem
bers OF her team have had any
thing to do with II. They all
seem to be sociable sort. Let's
cut out all this hot-air, back
and forth each morning and
night and play the game for the
fun that's in It.

The lively ball talk has suddenly
died out. Now the tale is going the
rounds that the magnatesfhave slip
ped the dead ball back into the kit
bag.
Connie Mack believes the same ball
is in play now that was used earlier
in the year as well as in previous
years.
Connie attributes the long-base
knocks to the fact that batters took
new confidence after "doctored" balls
were abolished and started swinging.
Then up until July pitchers were
off stride.
The tall pilot Of the AS has the
right dope. Psychology has more
to do with baseball than players
know about.

SOLVED.

Capt. Chas. J. Dieges. a time-piece

has invented a clock that would pre-
vent sympathetic referees from
making long counts over fallen
fighters.
The boxing clock keeps time for
the rognds, the intermissions be-
tween rounds and counts when a
fighter has been foored by pressing
a starting button.
One of these devices would save
arguments such as recently came
out Of the Bryan Downey-J ohnny
Wilson match.
And the Downey- Wilson affair is
only one OF dozens of other fights
where men have been saved from
knockouts by long-coundng referees

being the charge that prohibition Of

resulted IN filling up the Jails and
