the plate Philadelphia player ap-
pire Owens, feeling the heat Of the
day, drank it.
The second game was delayed for
five minutes or SO in the first in
ming until Majordomo O'Dea came
out of his office and discovered the
foul lines with the aid of a brush.
Bing Miller gave an excellent ex-
hibition Of fielding, though he was
almost helpless at bat. He robbed
Ossie Bluege of at least a triple
with a jumping one-handed catch

like real big Lacquer.

the hill while the Braves hammered

manhandled by the Indians who

the farcical Phils. % to 8.
The White Sox settled gently but
firmly into tie with the Red Sox
for last place by finishing second

Hands Out Advice.

II AM advising all my friends in
Philadelphia to buy the cheap
est kind of straw skimmers
for their respective heads, be-
cause they are going to have so
much excitement" there they will
have to throw them onto the dia-
mond at times. So if you are in
Philadelphia you may see lots
of my admirers following my adj
vice and wear just 1O-cent hay
shaker dicers, and so, friends,
cont call them hicks.
To my critics who say to me
that the physician should heal
himself and while in Rome do as
Georgia does, l reply that the
reason that l am so foppish and
appear with a new straw kelly
each day is because / eat at
restaurants a lot and accidentally
never get the same hat l came
in with. But as usual for a left
handler, I don't do so bad off the
ball field.

The day before that the Connie
Mack boys beat the New Workers
and three out Of their four runs
were circuit clouts. Welsh, right
fielder; Dykes, second base, and
Matthews, center, were the boy
wonders who did the strong arm
act. Shawkey was the pitcher
who got as loose as a sock on a
wooden leg. 1t looks like the
Athletics are crossing the critics
and are taking their baseball
seriously.
They have a pitcher named
Naylor who looked to me on my
last trip to the town where Ben
jamin Franklin and the Liberty
Bell got cracked, to be the cats
cigarette holder. He has speed
and uses it while playing baseball
instead of playing cabarets, just
in the same way that the writer
SO often sets a good example for
boiler makers and their wives.

Measures IS feet IN length.

Weighs Is tons or $4,000 pounds.
It's liver alone weighed 100
pounds or more than ten full
grown men put together.
It is twenty three feet around
the body and its tail measured ten
feet from tip to tip.
It had swallowed an octopus
weighing 1900 pounds which was
still alive in its stomach when
caught.
1t could have swallowed twenty
Jonahs without suffering slightest
pangs OF indigestion.
It smashed a boat into thousands
Of pieces and crushed the rudder
and propeller of a thirty-one ton
yacht with a single swish OF its
mighty tail.
Five harpoon thrusts and 100 large
caliber rifle bullets only served
to increase its fury, and It took
five days to finally kill it..
The battle lasted thirty-nine hours
two days and a night-in open
sea with monster dragging small
boat at express speed for hundreds
of miles.
Smithsonian authorities believe
that the creature was an inhabitant
Of depths more than $500 feet be-
low the surface and that it was
blown up by some subterranean or
volcanic upheaval which injured its
diving apparatus so it was unabls
to return to it's native depths.
Its hide is three inches thick and
enabled it to Withstand the most
enormous water pressure, a pres
sure almost inconceivable to man.
It's eyes, which are very small,
have no lids and were never closed,
indicating that it lived at depth
where eyes were of no avail.
The creature is not classified in
natural history, the genus Or
species is unknown and it is not
only the most remarkable geological
specimen but the largest specimen
of the fish tribe known in history
Although the largest fish ever
captured, scientists claim 1t was
only a baby of its tribe and IL it
had lived to attain full growth it
would have been two and one-half
times as large.

on the Florida east coast from

permit the membership to reminisce
and to acquire facts as to the habits
and fighting prowess of our great
American game fish--black bass.
Black bass are unlike all other game
fishes because they die when arti-
ficially stripped; therefore, they
must be protected while on their
spawning beds. Scientific research
within the past few years has de-
veloped the fact that black bass
will become extinct within ten years
unless extraordinary efforts are
made to protect them while spawn
ing.
The salmon has been declared the
liking of fishes" the trout the
prince Of fishes" the grayling the
Flower of fishes" but the black
bass is, to the rank and file Of
American anglers, The nobIest
Roman of them all"
