Announcements by John A.
Heydler, that the baseball season
was to be curtailed a week,
both fore and aft, in order to
avoid inclement weather of
early spring and late fall. was
bit misleading to many
readers-the wording thereof
implying that shorter schedule
might be played and that the
season is to be two weeks
shorter than heretofore.
What this innovation will
actually amount to, based on
the schedule of 1928, will be a
playing itinerary which will re-
quire altogether a week less
time to complete but will have
fewer open dates. Sunday base
ball in Boston will permit many
of the heretofore blank dates in
both leagues to be busy ones.
Last season the leagues went
into action April II and shut
down September 30.
Next spring the openings are
set for April 16, and the finales
for September 20, so you see
that only actually seven days are
accounted for in the calendar
calculation, the other seven to
be taken up in tighter sched-
ule which provides for fewer
open days.
Thus, the fans can see as
many ball games and the
moguls can count on just as
much revenue. The latters'
real estate is idle nearly four
fifths of the year as matters
stand now. There is an item
of thought for the fans who
also happen to be interested in
investments of a realty nature.
Has it ever occurred to you
how much money: ball club
must make in. the n home
dates it has out of total OF
365 days, in order to pay any
thing Ikea decent dividend?

Numbers of Indianapolis people

pleasant to take. For hospital physi-
clans are now recommending for
home use an inexpensive and pleas

relief-often in a few hours.
Mr.. Wicks' case is typical. He
had neglected his cold, hoping each
day it would "cure itself" Instead,
it got worse, spreading from his
nose passages down toward his
lungs. Fearing pneumonia then, he
called the clinic, where doctors gave
him double doses of Ayers Cherry
Pectoral-a concentrated mixture
of wild cherry, terpin-hydrate and
other ingredients used in treating
even the most extreme hospital
cases.
Relief began with the first pleas

That coal operators, through their
police, permit liquor and dope to be
brought into mining camps to
satisfy the craving Of nonunion
strike breakers.
That operators are attempting by
force to break the United Mine
Workers Of America and place all
mines on an open shop basis.

timely charming woman remains
charming at sixty. She can no
more fade, in any real sense, than
a diamond can fade. 1T is not
necessary to fall in love with such
a woman in order to appreciate
her.
Approaching her is a function,
not Of the hormones, but of the
higher cerebral centers. In other
words, it is a function of men be-

AS for women, I don't believe
that they ever fall in love at all.
They are far too intelligent to do
it. When one hears of a woman
falling wildly in love with movie
actor, or a gypsy violinist, or the
curate of the parish, one simply
hears of a woman who is trying to
bring the darling of her heart to
terms.

of disturbance, and she promptly
will forget poor Jack Gilbert. No
