helped the pitcher over rough spots
and cut down threatened rallies by the
no less than Eve double
plays being pulled by the Clintons.
Approximately one thousand specta-
tors witnessed the contest, which gives
an indication OF the interest being
manifested in baseball at Clinton and

Sex of Child Ruled
By Age of Mother
In Many Instances

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
DRESDEN, Germany, November
29-That the age of the mother
has an important rela zion to the
sex OF the child is asserted by DR..
Fetscher of this city, who has
made this topic the subject of
special studies.
He found that mothers UP to o5
years gave birth to just as many
boys as girls. With the mothers
between % and 80 years tho ratio
of boys to girls was Ill to 100,
while mothers of 35 and more
years gave birth to 124 boys and
100 girls.
The exact cause of the phenome-
non of the sudden increase of boys
born as compared to girls in the
years after the war has not yet
been aScertained.
