They had known tough going before.
Hardihood had been bred into their
backbones in creating new world
out of the wilderness. 1t was now risk

But there must have been many in
America who shared the Kings views

politicians; that Lord Howe would

King George III wanted to keep

troublesome to his arbitrary control.
His exactions made the Continental

out among them all; her hand held a
forgotten ball. No one had time to

choose to stir beyond the steps of her

she sat and watched the strange affair
60 forward in the darkening air, while
Roman candles. dripping fire, shot
balls of which one could not tire, and
rockets, so much more aloof, played
madcap games above the roof; and
bright lights fared so you could see
the outline of both bush and tree;
and fizzing fountains grew and spread
above the lawn and flower bed. And
pin wheels sputtered, turned about,
scattered their fire. and then went out.

sat and stared and held her ball. She
did not know or care just why there

not been enough on earth to celebrate

with faces red, spoke praise of living

Questions from
Snopshooters

Question: Can you tell me hoV to
derelob my o,on bietnres9
Answer: Developing and printing
are not at all difficult. and you should
get excellent results after you have
had little practice.
If you are going to develop by the
dark room tray method, it will be
necessary to have room that is abso-
lutely free from white light. 1t is GUS
tomary to pass the strip of roll film
back and forth. end to end, face down
through tray of clear water three or
four times before you place it in the
developer. Then pass it back and
forth until development is completed.
Modern films are so sensitive that
they are easily logged if held close to
a dark lamp so as to determine when
development is completed. A better
plan is to develop by the time and
temperature method. The time will
depend upon the kind of developing
powder you are using and the tempera-
ture. Many developer powders are so
compounded that development will be
completed in about S minutes at a
temperature of IS degrees Fahrenheit.
After development, rinse the films in
water for a few seconds and then
transfer them to the fixing bath and
leave them there for twice as long as
it takes to clear them of the white,
milky appearance. The procedure
under most conditions is very similar.
1t is necessary to make the exposure
just long enough, in the case of most
amateur printing papers. so that it
will develop to the correct depth in as
seconds when using the proper de-
veloper at 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

the heading of things detrimental
to baseball, John McGraw would
have been tossed out of the game
years ago. The Little Napoleon"
would bet on any horse race or
on any horse he fancied.
If you ruled out all the men
who bet on the ponies, you would
have no league, major or minor.
Bucky Harris goes to races on off
days and between seasons. A dozen
other men I could name go to the
races. Jimmy Dykes, the little
round man of the Chicago White
Sox, loves the thrill of a driving
finish on the turf as well as on
the diamond.
Baseball players are strangely
like you and me. They'll bet on
fights or anything. but they do
not bet on baseball, and just as
long as they don't, it seems to me
that they're within their rights.
Ranks High
Hornsby will not lack for EN-.
ployment in baseball in all prob
ability. He ranks at the top
among managers on the field of
play. He is not a tactful sort, but
he knows baseball. He can teach
youngsters, and has infinite
patience with those who show a
disposition to learn.
Right now baseball men are
more interested in knowing why
Hornsby got the gate in st. Louis.
No one takes too seriously the
statement that the cause for
which HornSby was dismissed
could not be aired fully in court.
There is more than a fair chance
that Hornsby will demand an
investigation by Commissioner
Lands.

| courts.
Barnes probably is blowing off
steam, for no baseball club owners
ever welcomed battle in the
courts. One Of the few instances
in which the boys ever went to
bat before a judge was when the
triple entente of baseball, COM
prised of the Boston Red Sox
and New York Yankees, broke the
power Of Ban johnson in q row
over Johnson's effort to have
Carl Mays banished from baseball
for alleged breach Of contract with
Red Sox.
If Hornsby has done anything
truly detrimental to b ball,
Barnes owes it to the sport to
come right out in the open and
let the facts be known. Hornsby
has been in the game too long,
and his record is too clean to have
any Johnny come lately-even if
the Johnny come lately be a club
owner-put him in the half
shadows.
Bet on Anything
If Barnes alludes to Hornsby's
love for betting on horse races,
his hints cause laughter. Every
one in the wide world knows that
Hornsby will bet on anything in
the world except a ball game.
They tell strange tales Of
Hornsby and his betting. They
say that he lost his world series
money in 1925 shooting craps
with steel filled dice on a mag
netized table. They tell Of a
series Of "stiff horses" he was
induced to bet on once, and
when he refused to pay off on
races pretty well established as
phoneys, he was hailed into
court. His attorney made a
spirited defense, and the Texan
listened intently.
HORr.SBY SPEAKS

off HOrnsby stood up and
said: "Can I say sOmething?"

panic but Hornsby walked out Of
