BALL FANS KEEP
PHONE LINES HOT
Star Switchboard Operators
Are Delayed With Thou
sands of Calls.

Base ball fandom of the Nations
Capital-and who isn't a fan when the
home team is on tops showing tell
tale symptoms of pennant mania, that
strange disease which was epidemic
here in 1924 and 1925 and which SEEM
ingly has no regard for rank, sex or
social position.
In the earlier epidemics, it will be
recalled, strong men wept and beat one
another on the back, women shouted
hoarsely, business of government and
industry was Stilled, traffic was tangled
and Griffith Stadium became a mecca
for milling mobs.
The current revival has not yet ap-
preached the grave proportions of those
memorable occasions half o decade ago,
but, as said before, there are strong
symptoms.
Feversh Struggle Daily.
One of the indications may be found
any afternoon these days in the switch
board room of The Star. In this foun-
tainhead Of information a trio of ex-
traordinarily efficient telephone oper-
ators struggle daily to supply base
ball-mad populace with up-to-the-sec-
adelphia games.
1t is a real struggle, as a reporter
found out during a visit to the tele-
phone room during the height of yes
terday's double-header with Boston. Ac-
customed though this veteran news
scribe is to scenes of excitement and
turmoil, he was forced to shake his
head and marvel at the brave efforts of
these young women to keep pace with
the veritable avalanche of incoming
base ball queries.
A count kept of base ball calls alone
from 1890 until $50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon showed that more than 5000
inquiries were made regarding scores
of the Nat and Athletics games. The
peak of the influx came between $3.50
and 4:30 when 1878 calls were re-
ceived and anSwered-an average of
81 minute, exclusive of regular news
paper phone traffic.
Manage to Keep Apace.
AS fast as the operators could plug
in, give the scores and pull the plug
out again they waged their valiant
battle with the blinking lights. Some
how they managed to keep apace of the
calls.
The shift Of operators yesterday aft
ernoon was under the generalship of
Mrs. Catherine King, chief operator of
The Stars board, who has put through
calls of murders and marriages, fires
and inaugurations and many other
events of news Importance Assisting
her were Mrs. Catherine Padgett and
Mrs. Charlotte Barnes. Operators who
were of duty yesterday afternoon in
cluded Mrs. Alice Carroll and Mrs.
Dorothy Bingham.
We run along pretty smoothly as
a rule" Mrs. King explained today.
But once in a while we get call
from some one, usually woman, who
doesn't know what it's all about. Then
We have to stop and explain.
Yesterday, for instance, we told q
woman the score was nothing nothing
in the fourth.
In whose favor?' she inquired"

other cities there are mop fairs and
fur fairs. But Frankfurt goes one bet

Collectors come from all parts Of
the world to meet sellers of rare but
terfiies and moths. Some of these are
worth amazing sums. There are men,
too. Offering and disposing of beetles,
flies. grasshoppers, crickets, and so on.
Most of the vendors bring their stock
with them and display the beauties of
their specimens to inquirers. There
are many. however, who do business in
quite a different way.
They have no stock with them; they
sell insects. so to speak, on the hoof,
just us cattlemen will sell beasts that
are thousand miles away on the
ranges. These sellers Of queer insects
specialize in knowing just where the
raresi kinds are to be found. Along
comes collector who asks if par
ucular specimen can be obtained for
him. Though the one which will event
ually grace his cabinets is not yet
born, the order Is booked and in due
course the specimen is delivered.
