the camp wondered why tho slim kid
who previously had displayed such 4
marvellous appetite was 20 late to
breakfast nowadays Then : reporter
returning to the hotel In the wee hours
discovered the reason.
Babe Ruth had been arising at 8 80

Another Of Babes quaint ambitions
was to be an elevator operator. One
afternoon he failed to report Tor prac-

into the bIeachers and saw that tho
colored boy who was the regular Gus

leisure.
That gave him an Idea. There was
an investigation. Sure enough. Back
In the hotel they found the Babe proud

Jersey Kid Promised
Surprise for McCraw

There also was Jack, 4 broad-backed
E! youngster who was In Florida with the
Yankees during the days of their
greater glory.
Jack had considerable ability and
there seemed : chance that he might
become big timer. So tho Yankees
who, az usual, wcrc short on reserve
catchers, watched him carefully. They
also listened to him plenty. While tho
pitchers were working their arms In
shape he hit balls over all fences and
proudly proclaimed that this was only
weak sample Of his true worth.
Finally the situation became a trifle
strained. The veteran pitchers were
over tired OF the talk and-probably--
none too well pleased with the numer-
GUS stories that had been wired North.
Since most of them were In shape by
now to start the season they coaxe1
Jack into talking his freest one nigh.
The next morning they met him at the
ball park.
Jack came up to the plate swinging
his bat. Pennock pitched. Jack was
kept at the plate. Shocksr pitched.
There waa no recess for Jack. Hoyt
took up the pleasant task. Still Jack
stood up there, swung and sweated.
At last, although there were two
or three other pitchers yearnlng for
their proper reward, tho humane Miller

 Comparatively few persons knew the name Samuel Lionel Rothafe As Roxy who in the United States didn't know of him? He spread the upon the air The palace cathedral theatres where his genius expressed itself proclaimed and echoed it. The master snowman, the artist in grandose and gorgeous ef- fleets must have had to smile sometimes for pride in fame The nickname of the Marines conquered In his way he was the Wagner of the film houses. He assembled the arts for greater greatest show earth. He always building stately sons for his idea Imposing architecture, spendors regiments seas of light--he never could get enough even if he got too much.
 Every detail must be in keeping The weak-eyed dazzed the shy abashed by the magnificence ot his ushers; but they models of department With out thinking about it Roxy must have softened the manners of millions. He generous to his audi ences giving them the film, the theatre, the radio and music. At the Roxy and still more at the Music Hall, felt like the beggar who Caliph for a day.

 Solicitor General Karl A. Crowley in ruling the mail out, said:
 "The stickers appear to to fall within the pro hibon of the statute in that they attribute to the President certain mpeachable actions and unpraise worthy attitudes as well lack of foresight-thngs contributing in small measure to ones character sticker carcaturing Mrs Roosevelt also definitely ascrbes to her an attitude which would to the ordi nary mind detract from the estimate of her charac- ter"
 It should be explained at this point that both the Republican National Committee and the Republican Congressional Committee immediately issued d S. chalmers of any connection with the New York coun- cil or the stickers.
 If that is sample there is every reason to believe this will be the drtiest campaign in many years There should be a certain respect for the high office of President of the United States held by every good American, matter his politics. to deter him from stopping to such vile tactics those attempted by the New York group.
