MERKZE ACOBSON GOING TO < WATERBURY WITH ORIOLES
Former New Britain Boy
 Playing in Outfield With International Leaguers
 in Post-SeasOn Series.

Waterbury, Conn. Sept 2o.-It's 4 queer quirk or baseball fate that brings the Brasscos. with Kitty Bransfeld at their head, into series with the Baltimore club, six time International league champions here next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for the minor league championship of the east. Merkie Jacobson of New Britain will be in thes Orioles, outfleld.
 Last year, when Hartford, the 1923 Eastorn league title-winners was preparing for it's two games with the Orioles, .Bransheld, who ty as scouting for the Chicago Cubs went to the Capital City to watch the series. Quite naturally the l opinion of the veteran baseball man was asked relative to the chances of Hartford with the steam rollers from the International league,
 If Paddy O'Connors pitching staff works in this SC 'ies as well as it has performed during the league season, the Senators have better than even chance of beating Jack Dunn's team," was Kitty's reply. | Winters and Sloan came through with beautiful games and made Bransfield's prophecy come true. | Probably Kitty, in his widest flights of fancy never dreamed that it was to be club piloted by him that was to meet the oriqks in the 1924 series. And it may be predict cd right here that if his three star pitchers, Rush, Ulrich and Fuller give him the same fine service that they have provided all season in

 British Walker cup players z are paired largely with American Wal 'ker cup players, except that Max Marston, the champion, who is de- lending his title on. his own home course, plays around with Bobby Jones, Atlanta wizard, who has yet to win his first amateur title, but has high hopes of it this year, es- pecially because at MeIon eight years ago he first became a national | golf sensation.

she must wish she could catch him. But so far as he could see Granny didn't once look at him.
 "She doesn't know I'm out here at all," thought Quacker.
 Then suddenly he sat up very straight and looked with all his might. What under the sun was the matter with that Fox? She was acting as if she had suddenly lost her senses. Over and over she rolled. Round and round she spun. She turned somersaults. She lay on her back and kicked her heels in the air. Never in his life had he known any one to act like that. There must be something the matter with her.
 Quacker began to get excited. He couldn't keep his eyes off Old Granny Fox. He began to swim nearer. He wanted-to see better. He quite forgot she was Fox. She moved so fast that she was just a queer red spot on the bank. Whatever she was doing was very curious and very exciting. He swan nearer and nearer. The excitement was catching. He began to swim in circles himself. All the time he drew nearer and nearer to the shore. He didn't have the least bit of fear. He was just curious. He wanted to see better what Granny was doing.
 All the time Granny was cutting up her antics she was watching Quacker,

 The Raggedys felt very sorry for kind MT. Fixus, for of course no one likes to be a monkey, not even monkeys themselves, I guess.
 But the Raggedys did not know just what to do, although they tried to think very hard.
 Raggedy Ann thought so hard she ripped six stitches out of her rag head. and Raggedy Andy ripped five out of his and the cotton stuffing stuck out from under his hat. Still they could not think of way to help poor Mir. Fixus.
 While Raggedy Ann sat and held the monkey, Raggedy Andy began looking all about Mir. Fixus shop and when he came to a cupboard and opened the door he saw a queer little red box. Now, what in the world can be in this queer

 Does he speak," asked Avril eagerly and as Ted turned towards her Don realized her charm more strongly than ever.
 'Yes, he learned to talk and sing well on the ship and when you hear him laugh you simply cant keep from join ing him." answered Ted.
 II don't see what I'm going to do with him now" said Judy. You know I cant keep him at the place where 1 live and I'm sure that Mother doesn't have time to look after him even if you take him home."
 "Then I must look out another home for him." said Ted whimsically.
 How would you like to have me take hes goodlooking and would fit in with the color scheme of the studio. I'm sure Miss Harley would be delighted to have him.

dow and see what I do to the two Witches '"
 Raggedy Andy again put on the invisi- ble cap and went very quietly out of the back door and around the house. He saw the two Witches still trying to see what was going on inside the house. And as Raggedy Andy was invisible, Heezy the Witch and Hazel Hagg could not see him, so he took stick and cracked Haz- el Hagg real hard upon her long nose. This made Hazel Hagg howl ever so loud, and she thought Heezy the Witch had struck her. Then Raggedy Ann struck Heezy the Witch upon her long nose and she, too, howled very loudly. Then Hazel Hagg hit Heezy the Witch and Heezy the Witch hit Hazel and they wrestled and fussed until they rolled over and over into the bushes
 Then Raggedy Ann, carrying the mon key, came out with the-hobby horse and in two minutes she and Raggedy Andy and Mir. Fixus the monkey were riding away through the woods upon the back of the hobby horse, leaving the two mean old Witches far behind.
