Darlenes'* broke off a ball game
right at the handle Tuesday with
the first half of the seventh play
ed, and the lagt half not needed.
Bedgood was pitting on the sky-
bound end of a 6-4 score. And he
beat Netbllng Just that bad.
Bedgood folded nls tent and
moved right back Into first plase
as a result of the victory. He was
only absent from the conning tower
one day.
Tho game was marked by some
very unhittable pitching from tho
dangerous southpaw of Bedgood
who held the Niblers to five knocks
in seven Innings, and had only 24
legal “at bats” marked against him.
That his stock of Intricate benders
were annoying to tho opposition
finds ample substantiation in the
fact that ho struck out four men.
And when a bozo fans at that big
and plastic playground apple and
misses It, the ball must be doing
its stuff.

Mary Margaret McBride,

"‘Oh, I know I’ll adore your*

“Others who have asked eagerly
about Dixie were Mr*. Muriel Mac-

Curie, of France, discoverer of
radium and the other day, Frau
Georg Micliaclis, wife of the former
chancellor to the German Kaiser.
“Even Margot Asquith, for all
her show of superiority, looked al
most interested when Kentucky and
Virginia were mentioned.
Lady Astor Solves Problem
“Since I’m from Paris, Missouri,
myself, I always take tne tributes
to the south as a sort of personal
compliment but I was never able to
figure out how people found out so
much about that section until lovely
Lady Astor, a Virginian trans
planted to England came over nor
long ago.

the song writers and ballad singers
who press agent it continually. And
