Football Too Brutal
to Substitute for
Bull Fighting

Two or three toreadors have
been badly wounded in Madrid,
and once more q number Of
Spanish sportsmen have started
an agitation against bull fight
ing. They want it abolished
and football substituted as Vi
national pastime. It is going
to be a hard job. to convince
Spaniards Of the brutality Of
the bull ring. Centuries of ira
dition are difficult to upset.
Those who favor bull fighting
have no good arguments with
which to back their cause, and
they have resorted to ridicu-
lous objections to football.
They recently put forth the
claim that football was brutal,
because at, q recent match in
Barcelona an excited spectator
dropped dead of heart failure
when his favorite team scored
the first goal.

years Of professional baseball,
Bert HUMPHREYS, veteran pitcher

Hughey was on first base in the
eighth inning of tight game and
signal was given to steal second.
Away Hughey went, and slid into
second in cloud of dust. The
catcher's throw was q trifle low
and the bali apparently hit in front
of the bag.
There was a scurry Of infielders
to the spot, the second baseman and
the shortstop searching frantically
for the ball. The pitcher joined
them. So did the first basennan.
Hughey lay on the ground for a
minute watching them, then got, to
his feet and scurried to the third.
AS he rounded the bag they were
still searching and he galloped
home and to his own bench.
The umpire waved him safe,
then looked TO the bench to find
Hughey grinning impishIy. He

search and found the lost bah
concealed I'm the blouse OF
Hughey's uniform.
The runner was declared out, the
score cancelled, but Hughey TAFT
had invented the hidden ball trick
to hand down to baseball posterity.
Then there's the case Of an old
Orfole> first baseman, who was a
friend of Ed Walsh in the old days.
This boy, nameless so far as this
story is concerned, was a tricky lad.
But one day he outdid himself.
The Orioles were leading by one
run in the ninth inning Of a tough
game. The first opposition batter
singled. The first baseman played
close to the bag.
He signaled for a throw and the
pitcher whir2ed and shot the ball.
As the pitcher turned, the runner
was standing on the bag, but as the
throw came the runner suddenly
put his hand to his leg, shrfeked
loudly and jumped away. Like 4
flash the first baseman tagged him
a foot from the sack, and the um.
pire waved him out.
The coacher cursed, the crowd
razzed and for q moment the
runner stood dazed, Then he ex-
plOded. He rushed to the un.
pire and he rushed at the first
baseman. He raved and he rant
ed. And finally, when he got
control Of himself and was able
to speak cOherentIy, his story
9 came out.
That first baseman, II seems, had
obtained a needle from the bench.
He had signaled for the throw,
and as the pitcher turned he had
jabbed the needle into the I'M
suspecting runners leg. The result
was inevitable The runner jump
ed, and as he jumped he had been
tagged.
Unfortunately, he had no proof.
The first baseman had tossed the
needle away. There was no evil
dence. And only after the closest
questioning did the first baseman
finally admit the ruse.
Baseball is full of stories like
that-scores on scores Of them, all
interesting end all very human.
; When the old-timers gather the
yarns are spun with 'nlany a smile
and many n reminiscent chuckle.
They're the human side of base
ball-these jIttle happenings that
bring a chuckle and a grin. I'm
fortunately, the average fan misses

 The questions of the legality or rropriety o[ the oil leases now under discussion in congress wera neve' brought before the cabinet for it's discussion. My opinion upon these crestjons va never sought or "x' rre..:ed, either in or out ot the ca5.- net. Ii the oil leases were ever re. ferred to in cabinet meetings I do not recall that they were, it was cer- tainly only by way of general refer ence and without requiring any re- sponsible action, which, of course, should not have been willing to take without examination of the papers and statutes. Having plenty of work ID the department of state l had no oc' casion to consider these questions ol law and fact involved, and have not been called upon to take any respon sibility in the matter.

CALLS CHICAGO SCHOOL
 PUPILS UNDERNOURiSH

CHICAGO, Feb 15.-Asserting that between 35 and 40 percent of the children attending Chicagos public schools are under-nourished, con- mittee from the Physicians Fellow ship Club has taken steps by which it hopes to bring about the adoption of corrective measures for this con- dition.
 "Conditions in the schools have reached a point which racessitates immediate action" Dr. Ritter. a member of the club, explained. "The physical and mental develoDmen5 of many children is being seriously re- tarded.
 Few parents know how to feed their children or care for Iheir health. Education alone will eradicate this condition. Our plans will not con flict with any action now being coli templated by the Board of Educa- tion.'
