 f3-tn-l Club Formed
 Here is the greatest news that has ever come to the Babe Ruths of mRrbledom.
 National headquarters of the worlds championship marbles tour nament has established an official National 1y-in-1 club to which any boy or girl entered in the Herald Junior Achievement marble .tourna- nent can belong.
 All you have to do is to prove that you are Rabe Ruth or Red Grange or Bobby Jones of the marble ring.
 That means that sometime in an official game, you knock out all 13 mibs from a ring in one session at the ring. Thirteen straight, one after another, without a miss.
 It is equal to getting hole-in- one at golf. or running to touch- down from the kickoff, or knocking ! home run with the bases full.
 Because after an, all Babe Ruth has to- do to get 2 home run is to crack lhe old bal ,asf right just once.
 But the boy eaBrs girl lwho makes 13-in-t has to k4ock the old nib with the shooter justs right l3 times in . row.
 It is as good al if the Babe were to ret . home run every inning of ball game. Or n good as if Bob- bio Jones got every hole in the. course in one. Or as good as though Red Grange had run every ball the opposition kicked off to a touch- down. instead of only four as he did in the greatest game he ever played.
 For ' marbler to make 13-in-1 is good that the Herald and the other 4s newspapers who are sending 50 marble champions to play for the worlds championship at Ocean City June a to 2S think that every boy or girls who does it should have na- tional recognition.
 So . special badge has been de- signed for 13-in-1 clubbers to wear.
 It ia a beautiful red -white-and- blue pin. an inch in diameter, with a swell picture of a master marbler knuckling down on it. and Honor ary Member 13-in-1 National Marble Club on the pin for everybody to read.
 And Your Name in tho Papers
 And every time a marbler regular- ly enrolled in one of the 50 tou;- naments (like the one the Herald Junior Achievement are conducting in New Britain. his feat will be printed in papers all over the coun- try.
 It doesn't make any difference where you make your 13-in-1, just go long as if is an official game. This can be in the first preliminary of your school or city tournament, or in the last game Of the grand finals at Ocean City, or in any off, ciAl game between. The only thing is that it must be in an official tour- nainent game. And when you make your l3-in-l, all you have to do ia this:
 Write out statement that you made the 13-in-1, and name the game in which you made it. Then sign the statement Then have your opponent and referee. or super visor. sign it as witnesses Be sure and put your age, school grade, and address after your name.
 Then bring or mail the statement to the marble editor of the Herald.
 FiFst thing you know you will re- ce4Ne from the National Worlds Championship Marbles headqua rters an official letter proving you are q member Of the National 13-ini Marble club and the swell red-w hite- and-blue pin you can wear.
 It will be a prouder decoration than Babe Ruths gold baseball. or all the trophies Robbie Jones has ever won.
 And you don't have 10 be a mar ble champion 10 win your way into The f3-in-1 club. Just one perfect same.
 The first marAler to win membet ship in the official 13-n-l clnl, IS Earl Wickham. aged l13. Of S,ut n Eend. Indiana Then came John Mitchell. If. of Des Moines. Iowa, And now Joseph Grilio. 14, Of Springfield Mass. has made record 10 shoot at Playing in his district semi-Nnals he made 13-in-1 three straight times. .s
 His opponent didn't get a chanc to make a single shot.
