BABE RUTH TO PLAY
BALL AT COLUMBUS

COLUMBUS March 28.-When
the Yankees meet the Rochester
club of the international League at
Columbus on April 2, the fans OF
this community will see the highest
salaried aggregation of baseball
players in the history of the MAJOR
leagues. The game will be paved at
the Driving Park stadium, Colum-
bus, at 100 P. M. Last year the.
payroll of the world champion New
Works reached the S250,000 mark.
This Spring, with the advances.
given to various players under their
new contracts, the high mark OF
$275,000 has been attained. This
sum is close to that which Col. Jacob
Rupert paid for the New York club
when they purchased it in 1914.
At the top of the list of Yankee
salaries stands the starting sum of
$4,000 paid annually to the great
Babe Ruth, the most stupendous
slugger of all time, the king of them
all. This year it is Ruth's intention
to set sail for new record of sixty
homeruns. He wants to beat his
mark of fifty-nine and thinks that
if the feat is to recorded it wall
have to be done in 1924.
Pipp is on first again, with Ward
at second, Scott at short and Dugan
at third. Ruth, Witt Meusel,
Combs, Hendrick an Haines COM
pose the outfield squad. Schang,
Hoffman,, Bengough-these are the
catchcrs. Hoyt, Bush, Jones, Pen
mock, Shawkey Pipgras, Roettger,
Olsen, Dumont,-these are the lead
ing pitchers. Clarence Rowland,
American League umpire, will be
behind the bat.
The Rochester club, which will
play six games with the Yankees is.
sure to make trouble for the world
champions. George Stallings has a
klaci of coralling able youngsters
and has gathered a club which
threatens the Baltimore champions
for the International pennant.

THE OFFICIAL ATTITUDE

a Z TWENTY-FIVE Patty was sure

twenty-five, Patty found herself a pen
niless, friendless orphan. There was
only Mr.. Wicks, twice her age, the eX-
pert accountant who lived in the same
boarding house and pursued her with
boxes OF molasses chips. Patty, in
spite of her ~impecuniosity and her
loneliness, was permanently amused at
Mr.. Wicks in the role Of sutton. There
fore she knew that the fates that had
robbed her of everything else had left
her sense of humor.
Then, in the words of the old novels.
she knew nothing more until she
found herself installed as secretary to

BITING INTO SNAKES

INVESTIGATIONS of the American
L Folklore society show that there is
a superstition general throughout the
United States that biting into a liv-
ing snake wiz insure sound teeth for
the one who does the biting. The
black snake is generally indicated but
in some sections they prefer a rattle
snake. The same superstition pre-
walls in Canada. The pedigree of this
superstition is easily traced. It is a
survival, almost unaltered from it's
original form, from the remotest ages.
In the folklore, religions, myths, my
thologies-what you will-of the an
clients the serpent appears prominent
ly. With regard to the superstition
under consideration we have to do
only with one Of the many attributes
assigned the snake by men of olden
times. He was particularly calculated
to transfer his own characteristics to
man by the magic Of contact. There
fore those who ate a snake acquired
many of the snakes accomplishments
and powers.
Democritus, writing about 1890
years ago, mentions the fact that one
who ate of a snake could understand
the language Of birds and SaXo Gram
maticus, the Dane, writing as late as
the Thirteenth century, mentions the
ability to understand the language of
animals as one of the many powers
obtained by human beings by eating
snakes.
This belief fingers today in parts
of Germany and Bohemia and down to
the Nineteenth century it was a com
mon belief in Scandinavia that wis
dom was obtained by eating snakes.
In short from the Red sea to the
Arctic the belief in the efficacy of
snake eating prevailed in remote an
tiquity and fingers today in the form
of popular superstitions, some Of
which have found their way to these
shores.
Now snakes have remarkably good
and effective teeth, and if they are
broken off, or fall out, they renew
themselves. SO, naturally, if you
chew a snake along his back-the
process recommended by the supersti-
tion in question-you obtain, by that
branch of sympathetic magic known
as the magic of contact, firm and last
ing teeth yourself.
