Kirk Miller Says:

Continued from LIST Sports Page)
they were to nominate the play
erS.
Baseball far from lived up to
the fan choice in 1888 and there
was a big howl in many sections
because favorite sons were not
used. Locally there was much in
dignation because OSsie Bluege
was not picked at third base in
stead of Jimmy Dykes.
That was in the infancy OF the
game when the magnates were
still lukewarm about it. They
later seemed to arrive at the con.
clusion that there was no sense
in letting the public run their
business, so the second year, 1884,
the fans were not asked to vote.
The managers picked the 1884
All-Star teams, therefore, and
there was quite a rift between
Joe Cronin, who fell heir to the
American League management in
view of WaShington'S 1888 pen
nant, and Earl Whitenill. because
Joe picked Jack Russell on the
1884 outfit. leaving the Earl Of
Whitehill quite out in the cold.
Such was purely a local bareback
to the 1894 game.
In 1885 they started handing
the choice back to the fans again,
and this plan also was followed
this year except that the mana
gers reserved the right to choose
five players.
Now a great prayer is going up
that the system Of naming the
players be changed once more and
that the league presidents and
umpires should name the players.
What do you think Of that sug-
gestion, me hearties?

the frustrated stage comic who has
been successfully funny for years, but
yearns in vain for q chance to play
Hamlet. For radio is glad to use
every talent, every type Of portrayal
in the repertoire Of its actors.
A classic example, perhaps, Of the
unusual protean possibilities OF radio
is the cast Of Pepper Youngs Pam

TWINS MORE COMMON
IN AMERICA THAN IN
JAPAN, STUDY SHOWS

Twins are far more common in
America than they are in Japan.
This latest report on multiple births
may be significant in deciding racial
origins of oriental peoples.
Key difference between japanese
twins and those of other racial
groups, according to report in the
American Journal of Physical An
thropology by two japanese scien-
lists, Taku Komai and Goro Fukuo-
ka of the Kyoto Imperial university,
is that the fraternal type twin is the
rare one.
Fraternal twins, that develop from
two egg cells, are ordinary brothers
or sisters that chance to be born at
the same time These twins may not
look alike or act alike, and they may
be of different sexes. In Japan, such
twins are found only fourth or a
negro families.
Identical twins, on the other hand,
are discovered to be not uncommon
in Japan. These twins, that owe their
origin to a single egg cell, and that
are duplicate individuals, are a type
that occurs as often in Japan as in
other countries.
Owing to the scarcity of fraternal
twins in japan, the occurrence of
twins there happens only once in
al births, so the Japanese scientists
determined from the evidence they
