tention to an error of Sam Cranes
regarding the comparative records
of Keller and Ty Cobb.
Sam Crane, in his hurriedly
written appreciation of the great
ness of Willie Keller, said that
Ty Cobb had "tied his record for
hitting over eight seasons" That's
what riled this Washington fan.
Well, here's the dope for you
fans:
Willie Keller, from 1894 to
1898, was with Baltimore. From
1899 to 1901 he was with Brook
Ign. Over those eight consecu-
tive years he got at least 200 hits
every season. Here's the stuff:

thy COBB'S record, as this

Cobb got 200 hits in a single

three years, 1915, 1916, and
1917. He fell back again in
1913, 1919, and 1921, but came
back again in 1922 with 200 hits,
making his eighth year, but not
his eighth consecutive.

Time was when all we needed seemed
to be the ballot. But now we need
in addition n padded cell. an ambul-

to hold an Eastern Star convention.
The Eastern Star, of course, has n
religious side to it, but that wasn't
the side most in evidence at the

appeared to be n contest about the

hours, blackhand note was sent TO
the presiding officer. the air grew
purple with a recrimination and
twenty of us ladies were carried out
in various stages of Inconsistencies,
Don't ever again say that women fail
to take the ballot seriously. This
time they will take it seriously to the
point of castastrophe, though people
outside of the ballroom doors were so
busy calling the doctor and rushing
the smelling salts that they didn't
have time to ascertain what 1t all
was about.
The town is considerably het up
right now over the possibility of
holding the next Democratic national
convention here. If the men are go
ing to take things as much to heart
as women construction on q flotilla
of smelling salts booths and aromatic
ammonia stations ought TO be started
right away.
The Ladies Conspicuous.
With this as an impetus. the ladies
managed to remain conspicuous in
various affairs right up to the week
end. The Stokes divorce hearings
developed two cases of Mysteries in
