Always Slams Him


Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have known a girl for two
or three years, and like her
very much. But she always
slams me when am in her
presence. I would like her to
go out with me, but am afraid
to ask her, as she always snubs
me. Miss Fairfax, will you
please tell me of a way I could
win her? TROUBLED.
Perhaps you've been too
humble and devoted to this
young lady, and that's why she
slams" you. Try to be little
more independent. Take some
other girl out occasionally, and
try a little answering back.
Be a little sarcastic and Saucy.
With some girls, blessings only
brighten as they take their
flight.

Does She Love Him?
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DGAIO WHO'D L A4IbT AA.
I have been going with
girl for four months and 1
asked her if she still loved
me, because I saw her talking
to another fellow and I am
very jealous. Her answer was
"Yes-No." so what would you
do? I am planning to drop
her as she seems to crave a
money spender and a swell
car. which 1 can't afford.
ART.
It would seem, Art, that the
young lady is teasing you with
her "Yes-No." All girls love
to go out in a. fine car. but
money isn't always the magnet
that attracts them to the man
they marry. If you are persist
ent enough. and don't give
way to your jealousy, 1 think
you can win the girl in spite
of the attractions which the
other man holds out.

NIGHT BASEBALL
PROVES SUCCESS
I'm COAST LOOP
BY VINCENT MAHONEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, April 90. U.p)
The day may yet come when base
ball will count Itself one of the chief
beneficiaries of the efforts of
Thomas A. Edison.
Though it is doubtful if the sage
OF Orange ever thought his early
experiments would affect an indus
try that unanimously went to bed at
dusk, all indications, at least on the
coast, are that sunburned fan will
soon be a rarity.
The new. day" in the Coast
League officially "dawned" last
summer at Sacramento, where Own
er Lou Moreing tried arc light ball
for a few games, then ordered full
equipment and announced that
night baseball, like prohibition, had
come to stay.
Wrigley Field in Los Angeles
home of the Los Angeles and Hol-
lyWood clubs, was next to start noe
turnal ball, and to report success at
the gates. When the Seals new
stadium was being built, the owners
foresightedly ordered elaborate
lighting equipment.
The moonlight venture was chris
tened in the new Seals stadium this
week, and it looks like 1t will stick.
! Crowds have been exceptionally
good. Determined to leave no stone
I unturned, the management has fol-
lowed the system introduced on the
! kt,N Nlr,l1,o, Ur4.tn1nu nt
geles and has decreed a free for
ladies game. The hope is that q
good feminine following will be
built up among ladies whose work
keeps them away by day.
Some Players Kick
Night baseball begins this year in
/ the northwest in June. II the theory
that the women like to go but don't
| like to pay is sound, baseball men
Go not count it improbable that the
ladies eventually will be admitted
everywhere without charge. They
seldom come alone, especially at
/ night.
The matter of night baseball has
brought forth some interesting COM
ment from the players, Most OF
| them don't like it, but then they
don't like the draft and some UNI
pires, and if the magnates find the
moonlight sonatas are getting good
gates, 1T is not likely the players
protests will count for much.
Some of the boys say the light af-
fects their batting eyes. A few have
| had success at night that was de-
MED them by day. Scouts agree on
a curious phase-that new STAN
dards will be necessary to judge ma
terial. The boys look faster at night,
according to Willis Butler of the st.
Louis Browns, and scouts must re-
adjust their sights before they can
pass sound Judgment.

ROBINS PROVE
WEAK TEAM IN
OLDER CIRCUIT
BY LEO II. PETERSEN
limited Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, April 30. U.H -
Good pitching and fair hitting, 1t
appeared today, isn't strong enough
combination to bring the Brooklyn
Robins out of their slump.
Brooklyn, rated as one Of the out
standing contenders for the 1881
National league pennant, dropped
its 10th game in l3 starts yesterday
TO the New York Giants, to 2. The
Robins outhit the Giants and re-
ceived much better pitching.
Lefty Clark held New York to
four hits while the Robins pounded
Clarence Mitchell for IL. Brooklyn
had the bases filled in the ninth
with two out and Babe Herman at
bat but failed to come through.
The st. Louis Cardinals and Chi
cago Cubs went into tie for the
National league leadership when the
Boston Braves, surprise team of the
season, were whipped by the Phila-
delphia Phillies, to 8. A ninth in
ming rally gave the Phillies the con-
test. The defeat dropped Boston
down to third place.
Burleigh Grimes turned in his
third victory of the season as the
Cardinals defeated Pittsburgh, 8 to
Q. st. Louis made only five hits off
three Pirate pitchers but punched
four of them in the third inning for
three runs. Grimes held the Pi-
rates to nine scattered hits but four
errors by his teammates kept him
in trouble.
The Cubs although idle, slipped
into a tie for the top position by
the Braves defeat. Chicago's sched-
uled game with the Cincinnati Reds
was called off in tribute to August
Garry" Hermann, former presi-
dent of the Reds, who was buried
yesterday.
Cleveland maintained its lead III
the American league by whipping
the st. Louis Browns, 10 to 8 in 10
innings. Myatt's single with the
bases filled, gave the Indians their
winning tally. Cleveland scored
three runs in its half of the ninth
inning to knot the count at nine
all, after the Browns had counted
