 We were up in Guy Bush's doom Guy, Mrs Bush and Ia few hours after Guy arrived from Chi cago for the world series, Mrs Bush, after locating the bay rum, fished around In Gladstone bag and produced a photograph of Guy In a silveS frame.
 Then we all sat down to talk baseball.
 You know. said Guy. who is scheduled to pitch the opening game for the Cubs today. q never have seen that Yankee stadium, and that ain't all. l never have seen Babe Ruth. You know, I'm kinda anvxlous to see that baby. Can he really smack 'em like they say he can
 We explained that he could. Then we told Guy 1t was q shame he couldn't see Ruth as his best.
 What you mean" Guy countered.
 ''WelP', we said, "most people go out to see Ruth for the first time hoping an dpraying he catches hold of one and knocks 1t q mile. You wouldn't like to see him straight en out ono of your curves and slap 1t over tue fence. Would you?"
 That's right, ain't it?" replied the man they call the Mississippi Mudcat. l never thought of that. Here I'm going to have to go out there and try and strike the Babe out or make him lift a little one up in the afr. Shucks, 1t won't be any fun to see him strike out.
 ooh yes, 1t wiII', we said. "Its never been fully decided whether the Babe is more majestic just after catching ono on the shoot for homer. or just after he missed a third strike. There are two schools of thought on this matter. School No 1 argues that nothing on land, sea or air comperes with the sight of Ruth stepping into one and knocking 1t into Mrs Sweepey's back yard.
 School No 2 argues just as loud and just as long that with the poe sible exception of Niagara Falls. there is no spectacle on earth equal, Herman taking third cut-and missing"
 Well" said Mister Bush." may be I'll see ono or the other of the spectacles today"
 You stand n very swell chance". we agreed. "of seeing. both of them"

Wilby Bans Night Tilt
DAWN AND LEE
 AGREE ON FRIDAY
 AFTERNOON FRAY

Jimmy Davin and Jimmy Lee, New Haven commercial and Wllpy high coaches, respectively, called time out yesterday and went in to a huddleto determine whether the Wilby-C y-Commercial football game will be played Friday evening at Sayin Rock or Friday afternoon. After friendly exchanges of word, Lee took the decision, sticking to his previous agreement ofNstaging the contest at p. m.
 The local mentor favors daylight to fioodlights for the simple reason ithat injuries are more apt to oc- cur at night than in the afternoon and then again, his boys have yet to play or practice under electrical units.
 Dayin suggested the night game for the simple reason that he be- lieyes it will create more interest in New Haven in the progress of his squad and also to clear up the deficit Commercials athletic treas ury faces at this writing. AL though attendance at their first night game last Friday was not what was expected, Principal Wal ter E. Spencer of Commercial, is willing to give night footbalf an other try which he believes will benefit his financial athletic wor- ries.
 Yesterday the Leemen were drilled in getting away punts little more quicker than they have been. With the field at Brassco Park in no condition to practice on this afternoon the boys will be taken indoors for signal and black board drills.
