rRANK FINNEY is one bur.
n lesque star who would like
10 stay in Washington for
more than q week. According TO
Mr.. Finney the big attraction to
him here Is the nine.hole public
golf course. Mr.. Finney and his
comic partner at the Gayety this
week hold the undisputed claim to
the golf championship of the bur.
lesque field. Mr.. Finney scouts
the idea that burlesque performers
stay UP until the early morning
hours and never arise until noon.
"Such. an idea Is absurd" soys
Mr.. Finney. "Burlesque is the
hardest branch Of the theatrical
business, because the performer
has to play a matinee daily for
two hours and repeat again at
night. Vaudeville is not as hard
on the nerves because the per
former appears for only twenty
minutes and then is free to leave.
But when you are expected to
make people laugh for two hours
straight. day after day, you're
soon q nervous wreck. Golf Keeps
me fit"
Mr.. Finney expects to go to the
public links practically avery
morning this week. He says that
at the close Of this season he will
J bid adieu to the musical melange
and enter vaudeville. He has been
with his present manager for four
teen years, starting out on his
career as q stage-sweeper.

NEW YORK, May 20.-Seemingly the
1922 baseball season started today at the
Polo Grounds with the return OF Babe
Ruth from shadowy exile to the indul-
gent glare Of the spotlight. Upward OF
forty thousand elbow champions fought
their way into tine great stadium on the
banks Of the Harlem to see the home-run
king in action for the first time this sea-
son and the crowd that was left to jam

enough to stage a mob scene In Yellow.
stone Park.
There have been some thirty odd games
played at the Polo Grounds to date while
Ruth and his accomplice In mischief,
Bob Meusel. waited in the outer darkness
for the official wrath of Commissioners
lands to subside. The average attend
ance at these games ranged from eight
to ten thousand persons.
Two days ago fans were standing In
the rain to buy reservations for tho
Babes impending return. All Of ten
thousand cash customers were obliged in
this way. The remaining 10000 were acs
commodate before the game today, the
gates have been thrown open at noon.
Bets were offered and taken as to how
many home runs Ruth would smite with
in the next two days or whether he would
smite any at all. Gentlemen of specula-
tive instinct also evinced an inclination
to wager on the possibility Of Ruth
eclipsing Ken Williams Of the st. Louis

The noble Babe has lost some weight
since he underwent an operation for the
removal Of his tonsils two weeks ago, but
otherwise is in better condition than he
ordinarily deems necessary.

Yankees, said he would play Ruth In left
