American Women Help Find Homes
 For 5S,7O0 ExiZed White Russians

Constantinoplc. Dee. ] P)-Iind- cn and children without a country is the achievement of two American women. Miss Anra V. Mitchell of New York City, siStcr-in law of the Reverend Anson Phelps Stokes. and Miss Alma Euggles of Washington D, C., daughter of Gen. George D. RuSglcs, L. %. A.
 After eight years here. during which the two Americans have as sisted in cvacuatinG all but 300 of the 60,000 White Russian refugees whom they found in Constaninople in 1921, Miss Mitchell and Miss Rug gles are leaving Turkey. but will re turn if they procure funds for hand ling the 1900 remaining cases.
 These remnants of Nran2cl's thousands who poured into Constan- tinople after the rout of the White army have been under Turkeys or ders of expulsion since 1927-ordcrs which have been uneXecuted because American philanthropy has made possible a steady evacuation of the refugees.
 Apart from the funds given by the American Red Cross, Russian relief societies, the League of Nations, the Laura Spcllman Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation. the relief workers have spent $90,VOU supplied by private funds. The services of Miss Mitchell and Miss Rugglos have been entirely voluntary and the funds procured have gone directly into relief work, with no overhead expenses.
 These funds have supplied mcdi- cal care, clothing. food and lodging for thousands of destitute Russians. . They have alco furnished tranapor- t&tion.
 Many have been sent to South America, which is still open to Whit" Russians, most European countries having closed their doors. Those sent to south America report that they have found work under better conditions and at better wages than they could in Europe and urge their friends among the 1900 still in ConstantinoplC to join them. But money for this final migration is lacking. A small American com mttee and the League of Nations are still actively interested, and it is hoped that the most urgent c&Ge5 oi relief can be helped.
 In addition to their achievements here, these two Americans also hold | important places in the records ot i World War relief work, having been active in poSt-war reconstruction in l Siberia and France. In recognition of these services. Miss Mitchell was given the medal of Reconnaissance 1 Franchise and the French CroiX dc Gucrrc.

Rv CHARLEY r

There is one rule in the baseball
code that is always confusing to
fans, players and umpires alike. I
refer to the battin- out Of turn rule
that has caused some mighty queer
situations to rise.
Back in the days when I was
trailing Mickey O'Neill, the catcher,
in the Oklahoma bushes, I came
across q mixup that almost led to
a riot.
And it was all because a couple
Of fellows became confused and
took their turn at the plate in the
wrong order.
AS I remember il, McA1ester and
another Oklahoma club we're play
ing a double-header. The Nc
AleSter club lost the opening tilt, so
the manager decided to shake up
his batting order in an attempt TO
win the second game.
Let us say that III the first game
A led off. B batted second, G third
and o fourth.
In the second game the revised
order had A leading off. D batting
second. c third and B fourth. Re
member the changes, because here
Is what happened:
The trouble arose in the very first
inning because after "A went out, B
went up to hit. although he was
supposed to be batting fourth. He
walked. The mistake a not no
ticed and G singled, placing B on
second. d also singled. filling the
bases. and then the error was dis
covered. And, oh, what a time they
hadl
Under the rules the improper
batSman is out and the proper bats
mar is out and the proper batSman
should take his turn at the plate.
But B, the proper batter. was on
third. What should happen to
him? OF course D was out, but who
was going to bat? Should they take
B off third base and let him hit
and. if so. who was going to take
his place or the bag?
Personally l would not have cared
TO have been called on to decide the
argument. 1t simply was a case in
which the umpire had TO make his
ruling. unsupported by the book.
l have seen many cases of bat
tiers swinging out of turn, but this
miXup vas in a car BY itself. The
umpire in charge made the base
runner come into bat and permit
ted his team to put a pinch run
ner on the sack.
