YELLOW SPHERE LATEST
IN BASE BALL CIRCLES
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Golf and ennis, which have been made
more colorful by introduction Of orange,
red and green balls, have been followed
by base ball.
A bright yellow base ball now Is on
the market, making the old white
"horsehide" seem pale.
Golf has extended the riot Of color
to club shafts, with green and red pre-
dominating in the new Spring models.
The orange golf balls have filled a
long-fel need of courses where there
is a wealth of sand, but they may be-
come as elusive as the white ones
when the dandelions bloom.

But consider the case Of Lincoln Me-

of Lincoln to provide educational OPP

At Lincoln Memorial University there
are now q thousand students, probably
keener for an education than any other
group in the United States. They have
no gymnasium. They have no SWIM

nor base bail field. They have no place
for recreation or sport in the greatest

served by these two Offices the change
will be great improvement.

BY announcing the proposed discon-
tinuance of these offices. it was ex-
planned to Woodbridge, the department
meant that they would be discontinued
as separate United States post Offices
and placed under the Washington post
office as branches. Plans of the de-
partment are not only for the retention
of these Offices, but for their improve
ment as to cleanliness, beauty and sery-
ice. 1t was said.
Under the plans. the entire northern

chase of stamps and money orders, as

q distributing center, will be greatly
improved. Three new sorting boxes,
taking up all Of the remaining space in

said.
The new delivery will in the begin

The only requirement by the postal
