81. LOUIS IN
PAGEANT
SIugging First-sacker to Share
Tin Uniform Honors With
Rogers Hornsby.
By SAMUEL STEIN.

They take their baseball seriously
in st. Louis. The board Of trade.
or what not, doesn't hesitate to
adopt resolutions condemning the
methods of rivals Of the Browns or
Cardinals who strengthen up at the
last minute in q close race. Now.
the ball players figure again in civic
affairs.
st. Louis is staging a children's
pageant from February IL to II, in
which the life Of st. Louis, the well
known but long defunct king of
France, will be portrayed with all
sorts of doings. st. Louis lived in
the thirteenth century, when the
gentry went around in armor and
poor white folks went away from
them as fast as possible.
George Sisler, first baseman of
the Browns and batter extraordi
nary, is to be dolled up in half
ton Of FURNISHED steel helmet.
greaves, corselet, hip pads and the
like, and tell the world that he is
the spirit of st. Louis.
Rogers Hornsby, second baseman
of the Cardinals, and another
notable slugger, is to be the king
Of the carnival as well as king Of
the Cardinals. He will have the
job Of picking the queen Of love
and beauty, which used to be the
job of the champion sir knight at
the tournament rulings when we
were young and full of sin. Very
diverting and surprisingly accurate
gunplay has been known to result
from picking the queen Of love and
beauty from the wrong social clique.
It is to be hoped nothing Of the
sort happens in st. Louis, when the
picking is done by such popular
and two-fisted gent as r. Hornsby.
He will be popular with exactly
one female in st. Louis after the
pageant, which should materially
cut down the attendance on ladies'
days at the St. Louis ball park
where that quaint institution still
survives in these days of equal
rights with special privileges.
Considering the botue-throwing
propensities Of the st. Louis yeo-
many, the committee should let
Hornsby, who will have to make a
decision, wear the hardware suit
instead OF Sisler.
