LOOKED ASKANCE

Walter Johnson, the big train
who at 55 had come out of retire
ment to pitch to Ruth in this
historic exhibition before 60, 1876
fans at the Senators-Yankees dou-
bleheader, looked askance at
Ruths foul "homerun", and then
meandered in from the mound
Johnson, who had allowed Ruth
only 10 home runs in the IA sea-
sons they opposed each other, was
touched for a bona fide run on
his fifth pitch, when the Bambino
sent a lusty drive sailing into the
lower rightfield stands. Ruth was
not satisfied with that. He didn't
consider that home run well hit
and he wanted TO show the young
players on the Yalnks, and the
younger generation of sports fans
what a real home run is like. Thus
it was that he still was swinging
on Johnson's 18th pitch.
Ruth, the all-time home run
king and baseball's greatest show
man, shrugged off his first homer
into the lower stands, and didn't
even trot around the bases. But
when he got the feel of that foul
homer" on his last swing, he knew
it was well hit, and started run
ming. On this particular blow, Ruth
didn't trot-as one usually does
in case of a home run. Instead, he
put his head down and started to
sprint with all the speed that the

CAMBRIDGE WILL LOSE
VALUABLE WAR RELIC

Cambridge will probably lose its
artillery which has pointed its muzzle
out over the river since the Long
Wharf was improved.
Appearing before the City Com
missioners last week to represent the
Dorchester Post No. 81 of the Amerl-
can Legion, Harry B. Phelps and Har-
ford Smith requested the city's per-
mission to turn the cannon in for
scrap of which the country is in dire
need to provide materials for weapons
to carry on this war.
The City Commissioners granted
the American Legion post permission
to turn the gun in. The artillery
piece was acquired by the city with
the aid of the Legion Post soon after
the Long Wharf improvement was
completed. The canon was said t.
have been used by the German arm!
in the last war.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
CHINCOTEAGUE WILL HOLD
ANNUAL. PONY-PENNING

While there is to be no carnival,
Chincoteague is getting ready for
another pony-penning which is to take
place this year July 30th.
After the Chincoteague Volunteer
Fire Co., decided not to hold their an
nual Firemen's Carnival in 1912, due
to the emergency, for some time it
was considered by the owners not to
have the annual pony-round-up.
But war or no war, the Assateague
ponies must have their day, so a
roundup there'll be and while the
crowds are not expected to be as large
as in former years, yet from many
points, visitors are expected for the
story of the wild, wild ponies and
their home which fringes the ocean,
has spread through the columns and
columns of news pages, until today
they're known from one section of the
country to the other.
Hotels and boarding houses and
restaurants are getting ready to en-
terrain the hundreds of visitors eX-
pected, despite the fact there is less
glamour attached to this years event
since the carnival and entertainment
which has become a part of it, has
been dispensed with.
However, the smart and frisky
ponies will swim the channel again
and will be sold-and the prediction
is that there will be a sizeable crowd
to watch their antics.
