Church Playlet
Proves Success

That all good romance ends at
home was proven to the satisfaction
of an audience of approximately 250
persons at St Mary's auditorium
last night by members of the Young
Peoples Club of the church. The
playet, "The Romance Hunters, -
which was enacted under the direc-
tion of Miss Regina OMAHA, was
marked by its fast action as it told
of woman s dream of romance,
and afforded many clever lines.
The play will be reenacted by the
club at the church auditorium to-
night. the curtain rising on the
first act at Sis clock.
1t was much better than the av-
erage run of amateur plays, and
each member of the east is to be
commended for his or her part in
contributing to the success of the
play.
Miss Anna McManus in the lead
ing role presented all that could be
asked for in the way of a romantic
woman, past the age of girlhood,
but still much of girl. The play
ccntered about her ideas, ideals and
idols. the latter two being shattered
to prove to herself in the end that
"love, like gold, is where you find
it.D

HAS SIX MILLION
DOLLARS INVESTED
MoguI Is Sure Cubs, With
Rogers Hornsby, Finally
Will Win a Pennant.
BY PAUL r. NICHOLSON.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~HICAGO, December 24-Williara
Wrigley, jr., is man with a
$6,000,000 hobby.
~ Wrigley, who built on of
Americas largest fortunes or
q stick Of chewing gum, has perhaps
the most expensive hobby in the world.
1t is base ball.
Six million dollars has William Wrig-
ley, jr, invested in this hobby through
ownership of three base ball clubs, the
Chicago Cubs, the Los Angles Pacific
Coast League Club and the Reading
1nternationals Yet he admits he never
has banked cent on his investment
for himself.
He wants just one return-a thrill.
And he hopes to get his biggest thrill
next season by cheering his Cubs to a
National League pennant. Not since
1918 have the Cubs won a pennant,
but with Rogers Hornsby in their line
up. Wrigley visions the prize all but
won.
Why He Loves The Game.
Postponing a business conference.
Wr1gley, husky man with a perpetual
overflow OF enthusiasm. told the As
sociated Press of his dream for a pen
nant. why he loves base ball. why he
gets such thrill out of it and why he
thinks 1t Is the greatest sport.
Il have approximately $6,000,000 in
vested in base ball, but I wouldn't get
out Of it for 60,000,O00 because love
the game and because it supplies me
with thrills every time watch game"
he said. While never have received
cent for myself from base ball, have
received thrills that money cannot buy.
And think Of the fun millions Of other
people get out Of that game!
MY ambition, naturally, is to have
the Cubs win the National League pen
nant next year. And I believe we have
got the goods this time, barring in
juries to two or three of our best
players.
Let the critics condemn Hornsby If
they want to. I believe he has been
sinned against more than he has sinned.
I think Rogers Hornsby is not only the
greatest hitter in base ball - greater
even than Babe Ruth the figures will
show-but also that he is one of the
cleanest men and one of the greatest
characters in base ball. Rogers Horns
by wants only one thing on the dia-
mond That is victory. 1t cost me al
most half million dollars in money
and players to get Rogers. But he is
worth it.
Nothing can stop me from seeing a
base ball game that can help. Last
Summer turned down bank directors
meetings to watch base ball games"
He Dotes on Base Hits.
Wrigley likes fast games, but he
would rather see game end to 8
than / to o.
"A pitchers battle is a treat for some
people," he said, but personally like
to see them clip that apple"
As owner of the Cubs, Wrigley likes
to remain In the background as much
as possible.
IT can see nothing but q bright frl-
ture for base ball." Wrigley concluded.
1T is getting greater every year. Bet
ter base ball is being played and
better sportsmanship prevails. I'm in
the game as long as I live"

The golfer who has definite
plan in mind when playing a putt
gets better results than the one.
who Just strokes the ball without
planning the shot in advance.
There are two theories regarding
the putting of a ball. One school
holds that you should stroke it for
the back of the cup. Another, that
it should be played just hard
enough to reach the cup and that
will cause it to fall in.
I like Joyce Wethered's ideas
about putting very much. She has
gained excellent results by practic-
ing her theories. One has to do
with the speed of the green. 1t is
said that Walter Hagen is better
Judge of a green's fastness than
any living player. He senses in
advance just how hard he must
stroke putt to get it dead to the
cup.
Miss Wethered's scheme Is to play
a putt on fast green so it will die
at the cup, and trickle in. When
green's are not fast firmer stroke
is needed. Then she goes for the
back of the cup. That's a good
plan.
