 New York, Nov. 7-(UP)-An- xious to get the public ideas on how baseball could be bettered, Ford c. Prick, progressive president of the National League, has pre- pared three questionaires which his agents are busy submitting in ho- tels, railroad terminals, subways, restaurants, nightclubs, ferryboats and business offices.
 The three Questionaires-one for men who follow baseball and attend games, one of men who are not in- terested in baseball, and one for women-fell into my hands. Here, MT. Prick, are my answers to sev- eral of the questions chosen from all three of the lists:
 c. Were you as interested in baseball this year as in former years?
 A. Yes sir. I had $25 on those Cardinals to win the National, and when they failed put $25 more on tllOoG NuV0 xA4 tAAV WVA 1N SSAAOos A was VERY interested.
 e. Did you play baseball very much as boy?
 A. You mean to tell me, MT. Prick, that you never heard of "Ducky- Wucky" McLemore, the boy sensation of 1912? Playing with the Vine street Terrors of Macon, Ga., I led the league in (a) balls batted through neighbors windows. (b) l hit-and-run from the . neighbors, and (c) calling the umpire 6 fraid- cat, sissy, and Q rotten egg. Feminine Angle c. Have you ever attended Q ma | for league baseball game in Q party consisting of girls exclusively A. tried to once, MT. Prick and I'll never do it again. In the first place, I had to buy all the tickets. In the second, the gals nearly drove me crazy with their chatter. It was at this game that one of the girls, after the pitcher struck out three men after the first man up had trippled, said: "Oh isn't it a shame the pitcher didn't get that man on third; now, hell be right back there next inning and the poor pitcher will have to do Il all over again"
 o. Have you ever attended baseball game on ''ladies day?"
 A. Once, MT. Prick, once.
 e. What appeals to you most in watching a baseball game?
 A. watching Umpire George Moriarty play a role combining the best gestures of Hamlet. King Lear Mussolini, Simon Legree. Camille Shylock and Oracle Allen.
 e. What do you do as a rule on Saturday afternoons and Sunday in summer?
 A. MT. Prick, that's none of your business! So there!
 O. What other sports interest you in summer time?
 A. Swimming under water. Kite flying. Bobbing for apples. Bull- dogging. One-eyed cat. Matching for pennies. Matching gingham samples at large department stores Blind mans puff. Turning in false alarms. :.
 0. DO you read about the bal games or follow the pennant races through the newspapers9
 A. MT. Prick, I read every one of my own stories and I think they're just dandy.

A little knock-A little boost
 First it's me-Then it's you. No harm done-it's all in fun.

(By MISS LOTTA STRKKESANsPAREs
 Well here they are boys. look yourself up and if the old average is up pat yourself on the back but if down in the dumps hop down to the alleys and manager Jack Kairis will be glad to show you how to boost 1t. Don't kick them too hard. Jack.)
 The unbeatables explained by Jenusaitis came near being de- throned by Tommy Delinks stiffies who won 2 games and lost the 3rd on g roll-off after it ended in a tie. These stiffies are not only bowlers but that trio of Delinks, Presavage and Joe Yanavich are hot stuff as goat-getters and the object of their affections MT. John Kopiczh cer- tainly wished he could have hidden behind Q mask of some sort after missing spare after spare. Was my face red, eh Kopy? Even Orintas heaved one in the gutter.
 Another humdinger series was that between Dulskis bashful boys and Henry Strokalaitis ice cubes in which Dulskis rolled home with games under his belt losing the 3rd by II pins on the rolloff, two ties in one night signifies that the boys are on their game.
 Bill Strokalaitis took from John Stokes night shift, Vaitukaitis sunk the good ship Dvileskis for 2 out of 3, Danisavage took the wind out of John Yanavich's sails and also won 2 out of while Selens molars lost their false teeth and won but game from zubras peppers.

Jenusaitis is first as you can plainly
 see, Delinks and strokalaitis are tied for
 second, gosh or gee, Zubras and Dulskis tied for third,
 but just like a bird, Soar high above Selens who is
 number six, Bill Strokalaitis the number seven
 Is far from being lemon. Number eight is Stokes who Is always late, Danisavage is nine yet is right on
 time While vaitukaitis is ten with six
 good men, Eleven is Yanavich and it is an even
 bet. That if number twelve Divileskis
 gets going We'll see many an upset.

'"The saints preserve us! Not me aul frind? Not Mary Ann?" "Yes," Mildred sniffled. God rist her soul!" The tears streamed down the wrinkled old face and she rocked back and forth in her chair, moaning.
 Mildred uncovered one eye and winked at her mother, who was sitting bolt upright in her chair. her thin face set as if 1t had been poured in mold.
 The kindest soul that iver liv- ed," old Maggie sobbed.
 "Kind," Mrs Cassidy snapped. If she hadn't given away everything, she'd have enough to live on now mean - she would until she died. MT Cassidy has had reverses. It's been a burden to have her here"
 "Shure, now" said Old Maggie as she wiped her face with a dubious handkerchief and looked through the door at the velvet hangings and and the grand piano. Just cup O tay and a slice O bread. Just a little something for the mass. Mike Cassidy wouldn't be noticin' ut, would be?"
 "Shure, I must go." Old Maggie got up and waddled to the door. T must go to the church and say a prayer for Mary Ann. God rist her soul!"
 She shook her head solemnly. "To think I was too late! was comin' to tell her the grand news. @I'm rich, ma'am! Me brother in New York died and left me all his money. Only the good God knows how much. The lahyer says maybe a million. When I heard it, sez I the first thing: I'll divide with er that's been good to me. I'll have
 Mary Ann to live with me-"
 Then Old Maggie stepped out and
 closed the door and Mildred and
 her mother looked at each other and gasped.
 Now, see what you've done!" Mrs Cassidy clipped off each word sharply.
