Stretching herself upon the floor,
the famous Amazon demonstrated an
exercise for the cultivation of strength
in hands and fingers as well as arms
and shoulders.
HOW 1T IS DONE.
You tighten your muscles, place
arms at your sides and then raise
them, letting them descend slowly TO
the floor above the head, forming in
all complete semi-circle. While the
arms are in motion, the hands repeat
eddy clasp and unclasp. The reason
one lies upon the floor to do such an
exercise is that when other parts Of
the body are relaxed, more effort can
be concentrated upon the part in train

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 30.-P-
Sixteen years ago, on a cold October
day, there came into everlasting base
ball fame a bulky Missouri plough
man, for the moment one of the great
moundsmen Of the day-Charles
(Babe) Adams.
Detroit had won the American
League pennant that year, 1909, and
Pittsburgh the National, but the Pr
rates pitching staff had crumpled at
the last-with one exception.
Adams, a first year man, had won
two series games and stood on the
mound at Detroit in the final strug-
gle, facing another famous right
handler of that day. the late wild
Bill" Donovan, killed in a Twentieth
Century Limited wreck while on his
way to attend the baseball league
meetings in 1923.
ADAMS BEATS EN-.
With Detroit was the great Tyrus
Cobb of Georgia, still great after 20
years; the powerful Sam Crawford
and a string of other dangerous bats
man. But Adams carried the series
and the worlds championship TO
Pittsburgh by permitting only six hits,
materially aided by bow-legged, fight
ing Hans Wagner who seemed to be
everywhere at once. Pittsburgh
scored eight runs for a decisive con-
quest in this seventh and final game.
Today Babe Adams, AS years old,
stands ready to pitch his heart out
for another Pittsburgh triumph in
worlds series combat and the senti-
ment of the Pirate fans very likely
will draw him into action in at
least one of the games. His arm has
not the stamina of old but his cour-
age and much of his old skill remain.
Babe has had notable career.
Born in Upton, Ind. in 1882. he went
with his father to Mt. Moriah, Mo-,
in early life. His father was tiller
of the soil and so was Babe until his

New York City-Roald Amundsen' s
impending dash to the north pole, by
airplane, tentatively set to start from
Spitzbergen, Norway, this afternoon,
marks the beginning of the efforts OF
three nations to conquer by air that
portion of the frozen northern wastes
which in four hundred years of ex-
ploration by ship. and dog sled has
been reached by only one expedition.
tina tof Admiral Peary, sixteen years
ago.
Amundsen, discoverer of the south
pole, carrying the flag of Norway, will
be followed in June by expeditions
headed by Donald B. Macmillan,
United States, and Gretiir Algarsson,
Great Britain, all three taking to the
air from bases to be established $50
miles by airline from the pole.
Two Monoplanes for Flight.
Amundsen, leaving his two ships at
the northern most point of Spitzber-
gen, will attempt the fight in two
Dornier whales-all metal monoplane

Algarsson's attempt has been term
ed as most daring and the MacMil-

the three. In a blimp, the gas bag

Blaine VetOes Cop
Compulsory Pension

Madison, Wis.-Governor Blaine to-
day vetoed the bill to compel fourth
class cities to pension members of
their police department on the ground
that it violates the new home rule
amendment to the constitution. The
home rule amendment, the @<ecutive
informed the assembly, restricts the
cities only as to the enactments by the
legislature of statewide concern and
subject to the constitution. The ques-
ton of pensioning members of police
department is purely local matter,
he declared.
The bill sought to amend the present
law which merely permits cities of the
fourth class to pension policemen by
making the provision compulsory. In
view of the fact that the law regard
ing pensions in fourth class cities is
different from the provisions for other
classes of cities, the governor held that
the proposed change was not uniform
as to all cities. uniformity being re-
quired under the home rule amend
ment.
