The great man was in a chastened,
penitent mood as he addressed his
guests, called to the festive board in
an effort to reach a mutual under
standing. He freely admitted to the
reporters. some of whom were frank
ly at variance with the home run hit
ter, that he had made mistakes our
ing the past season for which ne
hoped to atone. His first step in this
direction. he said, would be life OF
ease and refinement on his farm at

months.

it is not in me-"
Ruth made a favorable impression
upon his auditors. His sincerity OF
thought and purpose was obvious.
Knowing something of human
frailty in general and the Ruth type
in particular, we are inclined to doubt
his strength OF purpose while admir-
ing and respecting his sincerity.
The occasion was a get-together af-
fair, arranged quite candidly with the
hope that Ruth and the newspaper
men might reach a clearer and friend
lier understanding, 1t may have been
significant that life sized specimen
OF the cows husband, a bit of local
color suggestive of the Babes return
to the farm, stood at one end of the
table. Yet the feeling was general
that spirit of greater sympathy and
understanding between Ruth and the
press had been fostered by the affair.

There was a big solld-looking wom-
an. shaped like a stout square bottle
wrapped in a gray blanket with red
strips at each end; there were three
men, an old shaggy wild one. a mid

one, who looked more like a pirate

thin hand holding her miserable rags

right up to the little girl smiled at
her and took her hand and squeezed
it. Pauline said: she looks half
starved. Come on and I'll get Cook to

So they became very good friends in

she had hold of the Indian girls hand.
