THAT WAS ASKING TOO MUCH

"Much Shall Be Forgiven" but

An English clergyman now visiting

gathering of the British association,
Invited the members to an entertain
ment at his place. But he sent no
card to one member Of the association,
who, thinking that he was the vic
tim Of an oversight, mentioned the
matter to q mutual friend.

that right" said the friend. at was a

He did speak to the bishop, to this
effect:
"By some mischance, Professor
Jones has not been invited to the en-
tertainment. OF course you mean him
to come?"
"No, indeed, l do not" said the
bishop. Nothing can induce me to

GOLFERS ANXIOUS TO
KEEP BELOW NINETY
Overwhelmingly Large Number
Battle Curse of Dufferdom.
Short Hitters Are Usually In the 90
Glass, Says Jim Barnes, Open
Champion-Tries Too Hard
for More Distance.

Why Is 1t that so many golfers
are never able to keep below the 90s?
The CONAN in golf Is probably the
most numerous in the sport. After
a year or so Of play your average
golfer finds himself cutting through
the 100 level and dipping into the 9Os
with pleasing regularity. If it were
possible for him to improve his game
to the extent that he now shoots in
the COS, whereas he used to shoot In
the 120's why, you ask, and so does
he, no doubt, can't he get into the
SOS or even the 7O's?
OF course, some of them do. A great
many, in fact. But the number that
remain struggling in the COS with the
curse of dufferdom eternally soaring
their soul, Is overwhelmingly big.
Short hitters are usually in the 90
class, says Jim Barnes, the open
champion.
"a hole around 800 or 400 yards Is
par five for the short hitter" says
the champion. "They can't get on with
two shots and If they make mistake
this usually means six. There Is

In a government office in Washing

NEARLY GOT IN

Pat Duncan, left fielder of the
Cincinnati Reds, tells a story
about the colonel of his regi-
ment during the war who want
ed to raise a strong ball team.
He succeeded in rounding up
eight and sought ninth.
. The men were drawn up in
line and the colonel addressed
them, asking If there was any
other soldier there who had good
baseball experience that he fall
out.
A man stepped forward named
Brown, who had played about
twelve years in Glass d
league. The colonel asked brief
ly what he had done.
'Well, if you've been in the
game so long how comes 1t you
haven't gone to a big league?"
he inquired.
81 came close once" replied
Private Brown. 81 was playing
shortstop and they picked the

This is the Chagrin Valley Country

This here Adolph Rettig Is said to
be smart young pitcher, and yet he
signed with Connie Mack.
Ty Cobb continues to slam the ball
with telling effect. He has passed
George Ssler for batting honors.
Maybe Babe Ruth remembers that
when he was little boy he used to
hear them talk about an Old-time ball
player named Ty Cobb.
Paddy Shea, former Giant hurler,
has been purchased by the San Fran
cisco club of the Pacific Coast league.
Jimmy Caveney is fielding wonder
fully for the Cincinnati Reds, but he
Is proving sad failure as batsman.

Ben Koehler, having played ball for
20 years or more and done 1t well, mas

The San Francisco club has dug up
another possible phenom, so 1t Is stat

boy, who has been playing independent
ball.
Buck Freeman, formerly with Con-
ME Mack and sent by that master mind

Chick Maynard, the Dartmouth col

things don't switch from one style to
another as the fancy strikes you"
That is the way Mathewson puts 1t.
That is why Howard Ehmke of De-
troit isn't rated as one Of the games
greatest pitchers.
Ehmke has no set style, he is under
hand, side-arm or overhead, and as q
result usually lacks control and is
forced to let up in order to get the
ball over.

really no reason why anybody should
be unable to hit golf ball 200 or PIC
yards.
"The main trouble starts with poor
pivoting and Is followed by lack of
snap in hitting the ball. A short hit

more distance. This generally means
that he isn't giving the club head a
chance.

No brainier pitcher ever threw a

STEALING SIGNALS

Getting wise to another clubs
signals often Is the result of an
accident. For instance, the New
York Giants had a system of sig
nails that depended on figures on
the score board. We will say
that IL certain score-bOard fig
ures were "even," then a finger
sign meant to do this or that. If
the figures on the score board
were "odd," then the finger sign
might mean just the contrary. 1t
all depended; John McGraw
watched the score board and
wiggled his fingers accordingly.
In certain game between the
Giants and Braves, Fred Mitchell
was coaching on the lines, a cer-
tain play was signaled for by
McGraw and Fred Toney balled
1t up. Two New York players
met within Mitchell's hearing at
third base and one said to the
other:
"Toney spilled the beans be-
cause he can't read the score
board; hell, he don't know odd
from even."
"And so," figured Mr.. Mitchell,
that's the system. We shall
work this out. If the figures are
odd It's so and so and If even so
and So"
And the rest, basing calcula-
tions on plays attempted or
made, was easy.

a large, as we'll as motley one. The selection of the presents had given Junior sudden and new interest and pleasure at the big store, for the choosing of gifts for others was novelty to him, and anticipation of .heir happy surprises had filled his mind with gladness. It was with a real welcome and a hearty handshake that he greeted his guests.
 At first the company was rather overwhelmed by the splendors of the Wilson house. Its rich furnishings and dazzling lights made such con trasts that the boys and girls felt out of place and conspicuous, But after the unwinding of the cObweb, the strands of which led each one to hidden gift, and when the games had made them forgetful of themselves, the joy of 1t all got into their feet and made them dance, the delight of 1t all made them sing, and they gathered about the big Christmas tree that beamed and tWinkled in a corner of the parlOr with an eager expectancy that made Junior a very happy Santa Claus, as he distributed his favors. Then, when the table had been cleared of it's dainty refreshments, the leader said that they wanted to give some

WHAT HE EXPECTED OF WIFE
0irI's Attitude Seems Unreasonable When These Few Small Things
 Were All He Wanted.

Beauty. Punctuality. Sweet temper. Economy. Trust,
 And that she should be sound asleep when he came in.
 And that he should not be questioned regarding the hour when he returned from poker parties.
 Nor that she should make any com ments regarding the strangeness of the fact that it was necessary to have On- ion sandwiches at poker parties.
 And that she should spend such eve nlngs as he played poker or stayed downtown or went to stag dinners with friends of the feminine sex.
 That she should always understand that his flirtations were too mild for any uncalled jealousy on her part.
 That 1t was quite a different thing for a man to be forgiven than for a woman. .-
 And that he wouldn't have his wife make fool of him as some wives he knew made of their husbands.
 With these clear understandings at the start he knew that she would be very happy with him, for he would make her an ideal husband.
 But he had been little too previ- ous.
 She saw now why two other wives had divorced him.
 And she saved time-by refusing to marry him Mary Graham Bonner in Judge.

Indoor tableaux for their hosts before they went
 So he called first for Madame Mel ba, and a little girl responded with all the aplomb of a prima donna. Then Signor Caruso assumed a kingl attitude and looked upon the assent with as much as he could assume dignity. He was followed by Sir Har- ry Lauder, who added to his posture 9 verse of "It's Nice to Get Up in the Morning." This seemed to suggest the-fdea of going to bed first, and there was whispering about return ing home, but one of the guests said they must have a song from San ta Claus before they went. This rather alarmed Junior at first, but he rose to it with line or two from "Old King Cole Was Merry Old Soul" which satisfied the demand. Then they all joined hands in a ring and sang the Christmas carol, "Away in a Manager" and so ended the Wilson party.
 As the happy shouts fingered on the Christmas wind the Wilson family presented a tableau themselves. MT. Wilson stood by the window, looking after the departing children. Junior seemed arrested in the act of giving away the joy of the Christmas tree, while his mother paused by the table that gleamed with silver, seeming to feel again a forgotten gladness, The party left such an imprint upon the Wilson's hearts that they have never since tried to have a Christmas to themselves. .R a+# .. .:r..-.. ..- r

HEALING WOUNDS" IN STEEL
Frsnehman Has Devised Machine Which Is Really Marvel of
 Inventive Ingenuity.

Very remarkable indeed is a ma chine set up in France for making re- pairs to airplanes, remarks the Wash fngton Star. This machine is said to be the only one of It's kind, and is due to the ingenuity of Gustave Rabin. It may be described as device for caus- ing wounded steel" to ''heal" itself in something like the way that wounded flesh heals.
 The device is almost automatic Is operated by electricity and is based upon the galvanic principle. It needs only one or two men to watch it, they being guided by chart, showing in many colors the piece of metal to be repaired, the exact repairs necessary. the composition of the galvanic bath, the current needed. the diameter of the conducting wires and the time of immersion. All this is worked out mathematically to the minutest frac- ton.

 He studied 1t little while and be gan writing. And this is what he wrote i: "Band work, athletic work" and then he hesitated, studied for a long time and finished, cafeteria work"

REFUSED TO BELIEVE HIM
Jury Foreman's Remarkable ExpIana- tion for Declining to Credit De-
 fendant's Plea of Guilty.

Some years ago in a Western state, then a territory, a popular citizen be- came involved with an influential and overbearing character and killed him.
 Public sentiment leaned toward the defendant. but the law was against him, and when the day of trial caine the defendant, his counsel and friends held consultation, and, fearful of the consequences, they decided that the defendant should plead guilty and beg the courts mercy.
 The jury was charged by the court and retired. Presently it returned, and the foreman said:
 "We find the defendant not guilty"
 The judge viewed the jury in sur prise and said:
 "Gentlemen of the jury, how be 1t? This defendant pleads guilty, and you find him not guilty"
 The foreman answered:
 ''Well, your honor, the defendant is such a liar we can't believe him un- der oath."-PrOgressive Grocer.

Rea0ars' Trade Union.

A new terror has been added to con- tinental travelling. A recent report from Constantinople states that the beggars of StambOul have formed themselves into a trade union, says London Answers.
 The members go to work quite me medically. Each morning they hold a meeting in the open space in front of the Bayazid Mosque-they cannot afford other offices, although some of the members are said to be rich-and here they discuss the business of the day. Then after the agenda has been read and approved, the brothers in beggary disperse, and set about the business of collecting aims.
 Just as other trade unions forbid their members to work for less than certain prescribed wages, so the beg gars are not allowed to beg for any sum less than one hundred paras. Any smaller gift is spurned as detrimental to their dignity.
