Some Hints Given
To Puzzle Workers
az Billy EVANS.

rs too deep for me. ! give up
say some fans who have pored
over my baseball puzzle without
getting anywhere
AS matter of fact the puzzle
is ridiculously easy. When the So
luton finally appears every fan
will wonder why 1t was he didn't
guess It,
The most difficult thing about
the puzzle is tho way 1t reads.
There are any number OF ways
q ball can be knocked over the
fence and stu not have it count
for home run.
For instance, If some batter
turned such q trick with the bases
filled aud seemed to have scored
four runs and it was then discov.
cred that the batsman had hit out
OF order It would so for naught.
When batter hits in his wrong
position, and tho mistake is dis
covered before 4 bali Is pitched
to the next batter, the proper bats
man Is declared out. What ever the
improper batsman does at bat Is
wasted effort, and no runners car
advance on any act OF such u bats
man.
Then It is possible to hit q ball
oVer tho fence aud have It in fair
territory when it passes over, and
later go foul before 1t passes
from to viow OF tho umpire. That
makes 1t foul. q
These are Just q few Of tho ways
a ball could be hit over the fence
III fair territory and still mean
nothing so far as scoring runs.
There you have a couple of real
hints. Now il ought to be a
cinch to solve It.

and one OF the foremost German
industriallsts and economists. He
is reported to have been released
from his position at the head Of
the directorate OF the great Krupp
works so that he might accept the
post.

one Of the wealthiest Germans Of
