Gehrineer Was Great
As Bose Runner

Even now, few people know that
Gehrlnger was great base runner.
Next to Kreevich, he stole a base
more quietly than any player I've
seen. He was on first and then he
was on second. l remember a time,
when I was sitting next to George
H. Ruth at the World Series of
1885, that Gehringer stole a valua-
BILE, but very unobstrusive base,
without drawing a throw from the
catcher.
They certainly weren't looking
for that" I muttered.

that guy always steals" snapped
the Babe. Its automatic. Are
you just finding that out?"
There are good players around
today, besides Kreevich. whom the
public has failed to catch up with.
There's third baseman here in
Philadelphia, Merrill Maya BALI

Brown, in st. Louis, and Eddie
JooSt in Cincinnati, and Mike fresh,
in Chicago
These fellows are good, and May

Kreevich already is great. And
where is it getting him?
If you don't believe there is a
KreeVich, I'll produce affldavits.

Boil Players Boil Player
Best Sold of Mike

He is perhaps the best and least
noted base runner in the game
the best and least noted since
Charley Gehringer was in his prime
It's not merely the matter of stolen
bases-though Michaels burglary
quotlent, his average of successful
steals, rivals the great Max CaIey's.
It's also the matter of taking that
extra base on an infield or outfield
play, when you can get away with
1t. Mike gets away with it. He
always takes the maximum num-
Der of bases.
To round out this paean, I will
add that Mr.. Kreevich is team
player, a hustler and a popular guy.
In short, ballplayer's ballplayer.
Why is he not the public's ball
player? Well. I guess a certain
amount of razzle-daZzle is indis-
pensable in our national pastime-
and certain dramatic Way of do
Ing things. Di Maggie is quiet, but
dramatic. His actions in the field
yell for attention. They say: Look
at the way I'm doing this" Kree-
vich just does it.
The aforesaid Charley Gehringer
also is a dovegray fellow, and while
Charles is famous today. you must
remember that he played the best
second base in the game for a
number of years before we began
to pay him any heed.

BEWARE OF THE CAT

Hoby Redeemed and stalked back to
his dogs. Lynn looked at the grinning
spectators. Her temper began COM
ing to boil. Probably Hoby could
win the Field Trials if George weren't
around. She wanted to get even with
him, but she resented other people
trying to do the same thing.
She watched the judges assign
fields to the various dogs Hoby start
ed leading his settlers toward the
fields assigned to him. Lynn realized
he would have to pass right by George
and the other cats. George had al
ready seen Hermit and Bachelor. His
tail twitched around and around, as
if he were winding himself up. Lynn
made quick decision. She unwrapped
the chicken she had brought for
George, showed it to him and then
tossed it near the other three cats.
They swarmed over the tidbits like
linemen going after tumble.
George seemed anguished. He
looked from his playmates, the set
ters. to his intended meal, the chicken,
and then back again. 1t was hard to
resist the appeal of romp with the
settlers. They were pretending not to
see him, but their throats we're quiv-
ering with stored-up, joyful barks. On
the other hand, it was hard to see his
chicken disappearing. George made
his choice. The twitching migrated
from his tail to his nose. He leaped
at the other cats. Lynn sighed and re-
laxed. Hoby, who was staring grimly
straight ahead, hadn't seen her toss
out the chicken Now he was swagger-
ing on like small boy who has just
walked past a dark cemetery on
dare. He thought his training had
finally cured his dogs of George.
Meanwhile George finished all the
chicken he could get and all the cats
who would remain to fight, and decid-
ed to join the settlers. Lynn hastily
collected all the chicken from her
sandwiches and trailed George
Throughout the morning, whenever
George prepared to ambush the set
ters, Lynn fed him chicken. The
two young settlers had no distrac-
tions. They were all over the fields,
pointing and flushing quail. Lynn had

think I'll take up bob-sIed racing in

wildly that he might be leading up
to something. But he said, at last,
"I'll have to find good man to ride
bow. Well, I'll be getting along"
He started down the walk. Then
he froze into a creditable imitation
of setter on point. George, Hermit
and Bachelor had flushed a grass
hopper on the front lawn. They were
tumbling all over each other trying
to catch it. Hoby swiveled around
and glared at Lynn.

never seen them work so well. She
wondered if they were trying to show
George they didn't care.
She ran out of chicken and George
ran out of storage space at the same
time George tottered back to her car,
sagging in the middle like a feather
mattress, and went to sleep. Lynn
felt kind of sad pride as she munched
her empty sandwiches. Hoby was
going to win the Field Trials without
realizing how she had helped him. In
the future she would be about as vel
come in his scheme of things as
charley horse.
LATE in the afternoon the Trials
ended, and Hoby collected another
championship. Lynn drove away.
George continued to sleep until they
arrived home. Then he followed her
to the porch and began prowling rest
lessly. He was the first one to see
Hoby and the two dogs turn into the
front walk. He slipped into hiding
among the shrubbery Hoby came to
the porch and said, II just wanted to

The Ceremony

AT THE hour set for the ceremony,
the babys parents go in, and stand
at one side, conveniently near the
christening table. When the clergy
man enters the room to take his place
at the font. the guests naturally make
way, forming an open aisle. Then
the godmother, with the baby in her
arms, follows the clergyman; the other
two godparents walk behind her. and
all three stand at the font At the
proper moment, the clergyman takes
the baby, baptizes it and hands it
back to the godmother, who holds it
until the ceremony is over.
After the ceremony, the guests, of
course, stay and drink small glass
of caudle - drink made of milk,
barley, egg yolks, sugar, cream and
sherry - and eat piece of cake or
a sandwich as pledge of friendship
to the baby.
AS for christening presents for the
baby, no one is supposed to give any
except the godparents, who give the
incest presents they can. Usually the
mother is consulted about these, so
that the presents will be things the
baby really needs.
A stork shower is usually given by
the friends of the mother sometimes
before, but very often after, the ar
rival of the baby. The presents given
at this time are very simple and the
rules are the same as for any other
shower. Of course. if the shower is
given beforehand, her friends give
her their presents then. If there is
no shower, they take her something
when they first go to see the baby.

SHE nodded happily. They sat down
on the steps to discuss bobbing on
turns and when to set the ice brake
and how to increase speed by heat
ing the sled runners - and Lynn
managed to restrain every urge to
talk like bob-sled expert. As they
chatted, George wearied of the grass
hopper, which was ready to be traded
in for new model by now. anyway.
He strolled toward them.
Hoby said, You'd better not come
around me, George. That tail of yours
is just what need to clean a couple of
shotgun barrels"
George was not impressed. He
climbed up to Hoby, waving his tail
like a fringed parasol. He rubbed
against one of Hoby's big hands.
Hobby scowled, but almost uncon-
sciously his hand strayed back sid
scratched under Georges chin. "He
feels sort of nice under your fingers,
goesn't he?"
Lynn agreed. Happiness bubbled
inside her like champagne. George
had just caught Hoby in a bluff he
had been getting away with all his
life. Hoby wasn't made of leather and
brambles after all. Nobody had found
that out before now, because nobody
had ever dared to walk right up to
him and demand affection. 1t was a
valuable hint for her.

Unless forbidden by your own de-
nomination, the house christening is
in many ways easier, and safer. 1t is
easier, because the baby does not

Tranquil Atmosphere

f1oME surroundings for babies, as
well as for the rest of us, should first
of all be tranquil. And the fundamen-
tai rule in designing a room for any
child is that it should not be too ex-
citing or too cluttered with toys.
Above all, it should contain nothing
that could possibly be frightening.
In connection with both the fur
nishing of the baby's room and the
choice of the little bows, sacks, blank
cts and knitted things. the question
of color always arises. One reader pre-

in my opinion, it seems more accurate,
as we'll as fairer, to choose the double
card of the baby's father and mother.
The parents cards can all be ready
beforehand, with the envelopes ad-
dressed and stamped. Then, when the
baby comes, it is only necessary to
telephone the stationer, giving him
the name and the date; and the baby's
card can be finished within few
hours, put into the waiting envelopes

noted that he jumped if anybody
even remarked that it was raining

She was still very angry with him
for his know all attitude, but George

of George. and fed him top milk to

planned nicely. The Trials would be
the grand climax at which George
would prove that Hoby didn't know
anything about bird dogs. Hoby
would have to admit he had been
caught bluffing. Hoby would - as he
had promised - apologize humbly
and ask to be friends once more.
But Hoby was not admitting any
thing yet Four days before the Trials,
he reinforced his picket fence with
chicken wire He borrowed two cats
and, protected from George by the
new fence, gave his settlers an inten-
sive course in disregarding cats. Lynn
almost pitied him.
On the morning of the Trials she
packed a lunch of chicken sandwiches,
and took along several extra pieces to
reward George after he finished de-
bunking Hoby's reputation. Hoby
spotted them as soon as they arrived
at the scene of the Trials. He walked

And now to consider the announce

about as soon as the stork has made
safe and happy landing, the news is,
of course, telephoned to the immediate
family and the few most intimate
friends who live nearby, and it is tele-
graphed to those at distance.
These first few messages are, in
countless cases, followed by announce

consist of very small card which

Bedouins Volunteering
For Defense Of Egypt
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ALEXANDRIA. Egypt. May 81
Wandering Bedouin tribesmen from
the Western desert bordering on
Libya flocked to Egyptian military
outposts yesterday to volunteer for
defense of their country.
The youthful nomads, who previ-
ously had refused to join the Egypt
ian Army, now believe that Italy
soon may make a hostile move.
Many recruits are sons of Bedouin
chieftains who fed Italian rule in
Libya.
Moslem high priests throughout
the nation exhorted the men to be
ready to give their lives defending
the country. and declared their re-
hgion might require such sacri-
fee. Husbands were told to inform
their wives, who are barred from the
mosques, that they might be re-
quired to work behind the lines in
event of war.
There was a possibility that the
high priests might call all Moslems
to a holy war" if Egypt is attacked.

Evans, former Ku Klux Klan wizard,
and Legislative Clerk John w. Greer,
jr., charging mail fraud and con-
spiracy to restrain trade.
The jury also indicted three large
asphalt producing firms on charges
of conspiring with Evans and Greer
to monopolize trade and fix prices
in the sale of $456, ,42742 worth of
asphalt to the State highway de-
partment.
Intent to Smear" Charged.

indictment of Greer as malicious
persecution" and asserted that Fed
eral surveillance and Federal snoop-
ing at the State Capitol will hence
forth stop
His statement added that Federal
snoopers have likewise combed the
State" and their questions and ac-
tions reflect their obvious effort to
smear"
Asphalt producers indicted were
