within a matter of 4S hours. Eddie
Moore. Pirate second basenal1:
Butch Henline, Philadelphia catch

declined to make known the iden-
tity OF the clubs with which ne

The deals were alleged to have
had their inception at the Ma

come Of them because Baker
asked too much or the others
offered to little or both.
However, the passing OF Jimmy
Ring to the Giants is said to have
softened Baker up and that negotia.
tions were re-opened by the fact
that the Pirates again asked for
waivers on Moore. This gesture
was rightly regarded as a ..feeler"
for trade and Baker Immediately
became as busy as an arn1less
piano mover. He has had to move
fast. The National League, in toto.
has rallied around Moore. It is
said that not club would waive
him along.
Some skepticism : was felt on
Broadway today. however, that
Terry would be permitted to
wander elsewhere unless bigger and
better ball players were mentioned
in the transaction. 1t was doubted
that McGraw would consent to give
Terry for Henline. In a hoss-and-

According to the incomplete data
at hand, the Phil1ies were TO do
very well by themselves in getting

Then his mother and sisters
were very. very sorrow. Even
Father, who did not believe In
huYnoring children. told them they
had no right to read Barnett's
letter.
Each one of them slipped up to
the boys room and tried to atone
for the cruelty, but the thing
was done and 1t could never be
undone. All they could do was
to be very kind and gentle and
indulgsnt to the little fellow for
days afterward.
The heart affairs Of - little
boy or girl are strictly their own
affairs. You may not approve Of
children having ''sweethearts."
But since time was they have
had them, and there IL certainly
no wisdom in teasing them about
the infatuation. To be perfectly
frank grown people are often
presumptuous, impertinent and i'll

are concerned.
It Is easy to overlook the
rights Of q child. A grown-up
has no more right to open q
child:s mail or to read his letters,
unbidden, than the child has to
the same privilege. Furthermore.
your standard Of ethics along
this line will determine your
child's conduct in such matters.
There IL no possible sense in
preaching one idea and practic-
ing another. Your boy or girl
will follow your example-not
