WHAT'S GOING ON
IN THE WORLD
by CHARLES y, STEWART
NEA Service Writer

A controversy has started between
Henry Ford and Secretary Of War
Weeks which promises 10 count lot
In politics.
Ford blames Weeks for his failure
20 get Muscle Shoals. Not that he
cares. Ford says. True. he thinks
Weeks meant to injure him. but the
fact Ia he has water power enough.
No. he remarks. III is not TO me that
Weeks has anything TO explain; let
him explain TO the farmers"
That Is. Ford declares. the thing
for which the Shoals really are yalu-
able Is 10 supply the farmers with
cheap fertilizer. And this, he predicts.
IL Weeks friends get them. Is Just
what they won't use them for. They
can afford, he says. 10 pay all It's
worth for the property. In order to
let IL stay idle, so as TO retain the
endless millions they now make
through exhorbitant prices of power
and fertilizer"

Blue and Haney Out OF Game
As Jones and Fothergill
Return.

NEW YORK, June 21.-Ty Cobb
today bewailed the fact that he
could not clear his hospital list. As
soon as he gets one batch of
cripples fit again he acquires new
one. Having regained the services
of Bobby Jones. who had injured a
leg and Bob Fothergill, who had
suffered fractured rib, Cobb yes
terday lost Fred Haney and Lew
Blue.
Blue, who was struck by thrown
ball over the heart on Tuesday, was
too weak yesterday to play first
base, and Derrill Pratt took his
place. Haney sprained an ankle in
the first inning of the game with
the Yankees yesterday. After he
had beaten out bunt to Dugan
Haney was touched out by Ward
when Cutshaw hit into a double
play. The Tiger tried to duck and
turned on his ankle. Jones had to
be called in to play third base for
the rest of the game.

MORE WOMEN IN
BALL PARKS
THIS YEAR
Have Helped to Make Season
One of Best in History,
Says Ban.
By ROLAND KREBS,

CHICAGO, June 21-Women
fans deserve much OF the credit for
making this one of baseball's pros
porous years, Ban Johnson. Ameri-
can League president. told Inter-
national News Service today after
adding up attendance figures for
nearly half the season.
1.-THE frequent attendance of
women" he said, has added such
refinement to baseball that it no
longer appeals only to a rough and
tumble crowd, but to class of
sport loving people that ranks
with those who attend the first
class theaters and even the opera.
Years ago the few women one
saw at a baseball game were there
out of curiosity. They asked fool
ish questions and had not even
vague idea of what it was all
about. Today the many women in
the stands are there because they
love the sport, just as they love the
drama, the dance and out of doors
activity.
"They know the strategy of the
game and they recognize the skill
full players.
The mere presence of women in
the stands has accomplished ex-
actly what baseball fought so hard
for years to effect-it has elm
mated rowdxism."
Johnson recalled the days of
nearly two decades ago when the
spectators overwhelmed all whom
they did not like with barrages of
pop bottles and commented:
THE average hard guy is less
apt to make spectacle of him.
self if there are women near.
Baseball has not become a
mollycoddle's game by any means.
But it has changed from a free
for all sort of affair to an enter
tanning sport that draws an excel
lent class of people"
Johnson said that ladies day"
had drawn greater crowds to the
parks this season than any other
day of the week in past years.
The first six weeks of play this
year, he said. had attracted 337, 900
more persons than the same period
of 1922.

Ping Bodie Has 'Em.


.DOSSIBLY the greatest
hands at eating belonged
to my old friend Ping
Bodie, who was once in the
Yankee outfield, but is now in
the minor leagues corn field.
Among US writer's and authors,
Irwin S. Cobb is supposed to be
the ace nosebag adjuster, but he
is just children's play alongside
that mighty Ping. Ping could
crowd the wrinkles so fast that
the Twentieth Century looked
like a paralyzed kiddie car. He
was like Washington-I mean the
great man and not the great ball
club-in that he was first in war
on food, first in piece of beef
and first in the a la cartes of his
countrymen, which was Italian.
Why, friends, l saw him in
action one spring training down
South and there was a ostrich
farm, feathers and all, there.
Some boob said to Ping that
ostriches could eat anything and
eat more of it than Ping, and
Ping challenged the ostrich.
Spaghetti was chosen as the
game they should play, because
Ping had a Roman nose. So they
put big mound of the long and
loose strings Of Italian delight in
front of the Ping and another of
equal amount in front of the

them to get on their marks, and
get set and go, and they went
