V|LnLUI
Four days to do-folr short,
fleeting days. The contest closes
Sunday midnight. A letter post
marked before that time will be
accepted. So, please see that
your letter is in the postoffice
by that time.
And after that-well, all the
good ideas you may have about
Babe Ruth's All-Amer1can base
bali team will be just so much
wasted material that you can
toss into the waste basket.
After those four days are gone
It won't be worth q nickel to you
and can you imagine anything
worse than having g. winning
entry and not sending 1t in? The
answer of course is get busy nowl
Make the most Of the short time
that remains.
With the contest drawing
to q close the selections are
plling in by the hundreds on
every mail. There has been .
lot Of keen interest I'm this
years contest.
But perhaps the winning solu-
ton hasn't come through yet.
You never can tell. Perhaps it
will come in today. Maybe it will
come in at the last minute OF
the last hour Sunday night when
the contest officially ends.
Just remember that your
chances are as good as anyone's
and that your selection has q
good chance of winning as those
that were sent in week ago.
