DOMESTIC DAYS
By ROY M'CaNOEll

Before you do anything rash in tho way of destroying your two lions by gas, tell me more about it." counseled Mr. Jarr. | Mir, Harold Dogstory. the press agent. sighed. Well. I've got them quartered in my furnished room. Those lions are so old they must have been in King Tut's menagerie. but for years and years they have been self-suppOrt- ing"
 ''Why aren't they self-supporting nowf' asked Mir. Jarr.
 Because they are too feeble. When they were used last in the movies they had to he held up with harness and pulled fAbout on trolley wires in jungle scenes and in arena spectacles, but close-ups couldn't be taken of them be- cause the wires and belts would show" fMr. Dogstory explained.
 [ Cant you hire them out in another stage play where lions are needed?'' asked Mr. Jarr .<
 They've got sciatica. and they cant get up. said Mr. DogstOry. niournful- ly And they groan and howl so that the actors lines cant he heard. That's why our landladt is dispossessing us the lions howl and moan so from sci atica' or toOthache. only they haven t got any teeth, that nobody can sleep" "Otherwise the landlady wouldn' t object?" queried Mir. Jarr.
 Well. then. too. there is the. mat 1 ter of the room rent the press agent confessed. But was giving the landlady the banana oil that I had signed up the lions as ballyh0o to rube the streets with big jungle super film-fiding them around in a Ford truck fixed over with-~potted,.paims to look like jungle, and dinge orches- 1 try dressed as Congo warriors in leopard skins, playing saxophones. when the landady tells me she has an application for the room by three men raising whiskers, and that was sure money"
 Sure money how:' asked the inter- ested MT. Jarr. l Why, any man that will raise whis- kers can get steady work as Russian bolsheviks, hermits. trappers, noun taineers and hundred other beaver types in the movies right in this town They don't need to go to Hollywood like the poor lions would have to. It's q sure 5 day, but it means social isolation. of course If it didn't I'd raise a beaver myself and be sure of my cakes this hard winter. So, as there is nothing left but death for the Fl lions, as the ZOO has refused them, give me a quarter. to put in the gas meter and exit my man-eating Nubian lions " Being worried about the matter, Mir Jarr called up Mr. Dogstory's lodgings later. ,.-
 "Lions?' answered the landlady He's lying. He's giving party in his rooms now. He'd better stop buy ing bootleg and pay his room rent !''

FIRST DIVORCE COURT

The first divorce court in England was instituted in 1858. The court con sisted of three judges.

FIRST AMERICAN SHIP

The first ship built in the Western Hemisphere was the Griffin, the keel q which was laid in 1879 by workmen in the employ of La Sale. It was bark of 60 tons, and the keel was laid and the ship completed at the mouth of Cayuga creek, not far from the city of Buffalos site at present. It was armeS with a battery of seven small cannon and some muskets, and floated flag bearing the device of az eagle. In August of the same year La Salle em- parked with his colony and sailed for the western end of Lake Erie. Thus began the Great Lakes commerce. She had good voyage to Green Bay, bus in the meantime La Sales creditors thinking him lost. were selling at Mon, treal all his possessions. To prevent this he loaded the ship with rich car goes of furs and sent it back with or ders to return immediately.
 He then explored the western coun- try. but. returning to Fort Frontenac, he learnde that the Griffin had been shipwrecked.

NEW YORK, November 14-New
York base ball officials approve the
plan OF Connie Mack. manager Of the
Philadelphia Athletics, to compel the
payment Of part of the purchase price
to expensive minor league players
but are inclined to let Mack figure
out the system.
THE majors have nothing to lose
under Comics plan" said one high
in Giants circles. but 1 expect a
general refusal on the part of the
smaller leagues. Either they must
receive lower prices or must raise the
prices to the extent OF the bonus to
the player. Then perhaps the ajors
will be ready to defeat their own
proposition"
The Yankees proposal to extend
the player limit to SO is regarded as
doomed. New York. it Is argued,
may be able to carry such expense,
but other cities could not accept the
burden.
Charles A. Stoneham has been unan-
imously reelected president of the
Giants, and the entire board, includ-
ing Manager John J. McGraw, has
been returned to Office, according to
announcement from New York Ma

started the Nationals on the rally
that resulted, as it turned out. in
victory. He singled. was sacrificed
to second. hobbled to third on an
out. McNeely walked and stole sec
ond with two gone. and the world
remembers how Harris brought both
men in with a single that won the
battle and tied up the series again.
The game was won, but it had to
be saved. Up to the ninth the Giants
could make no impression on Zach
ary. Then, with one out-Young had
fouled to Blueee-.kelly singled to
right. McGraw sent the agile South
worth out to run for Kelly. Meusel,
who had missed home run by
inches in the first inning on Rice's S
great catch, was up.
The New York slugger blazed a
wicked grounder almost over second
base-for all the world a base hit.
Southworth was off like a flash, and
had the ball gone to the outfield
would have made third easily.
But the ball never got to the out
field. Racing as though both Of his
legs were as good as when he was
2l, Peckinpaugh seemed to fly across
the track of the ball. To reach 1t
and scoop 1T in with his left hand
was wonder stop. Most shortstops
would have been content with a try
for an out at first. Peck Is not an
ordinary shortstop.
By most miraculous flip of his
arm, backhanded and over his head,
he landed the ball in Harris hands
in time to beat Southworth to second
1t was a trick play, a stunt, requir-
ing instant thought and faultless ex-
ecution. But he got his man. The
biggest "out" of the game was made
when Ernie Quiglsy threw up his
hand.
But it ended Peck AS Harris
turned and threw to Judge in a
fruitless attempt to double Meusel.
the shortstop sank to the >ground
In turning sharply to complete his
throw he had torn loose the muscles
even under the tight bandages and
he went down, to be carried off the
field amid a torrent of cheering, a
reception that no other player has
ever had. There was the thanks of
all Washington in that roar
That ended the game. But for that 1t
might not have ended. With men
on first and third, Harris might have
taken gut Zachary, and the Giants
might have tied again. 1t was with
cut question the pluckiest play of the
series and the gamest exhibition
tnat any series has ever seen.
