Baptists Win From
Presbyterians Thursday
Harvey Gldden's blow with two men
aboard in the ninth inning came close
to changing the complexion of the
Baptist-Presbyterian game at League
Park Tuesday, and a little more speed
on the part of Grant Harrison, might
have put the game on ice and turned
a defeat into victory. As it was, the
Baptists nosed out a victory by a lone
score, and are still in the running for
the pennant.
: Geary, who worked on the mound
for the winners pitched a good game
and kept his hits well scattered. He
vaa given good support after the first
inning.
Marcum, with a make-shift team be-
hind him, is charged with defeat but
did not allow an earned run in the five
innings he worked. Four runs were
scored off his delivery on three hits
and six errors.
Grant, Baptist back-stop, was credit-
ed with six assists in the game. He
nailed six would-be bas'e-stealers at
second, a record for the season.
The most exciting moment in the
game came in the ninth inning. Witfj
the score 6 and 4 In favor of the Bap-
tists, Bailey got a life on Bates' error.
*VfT. Giddens was safe at first when
Gray dropped his fly to left, but Bailey
was out at second when he over-ran
the bag. Harrison Blngled, Giddens
going to third. Athas fanned. With
two-down,~ Hairvey Giddens pickled
one to his linking and drove it far into
center for two cushions. W. Giddens
scored but Harrison was out at the
plate on a perfect throw from deep
center by Aubrey, and the game was
over.
The score by innings:
R H E
Presbyterians 101 000 021 5 8 8
Baptists 100 031 10 G 7 5
Batteries: Presbyterians, Marcum,
Bailey and Harrison and Bailey; Bap-
tists, Geary and Grant.

A Little Lesson in Potlteness
I freely admit that this Is one of
anexce dingiy ancient vintage, bat
it is a railroading storv, and it has
my observation that railroad men like
thair stories to be well s-iat>oned with
age.
It is a yarn which the late J. T.
Harahan, president of the Illinois
Central system, was fond of telling
on himself.
Mr. Harahan was sitting in his
office at Chicago one day when a
burly person entered, without the cer-
mony of knocking.
"Me name's Casey," he said. "I
want a pass to St. Louts. I wurrk in
the yar—rds."
"That is no way to ask for a pass,"
said Mr. Harahan. "You should In-
troduce yourself politely. Come back
in an hour and try again."
"Arei yez Mr. Harahan?"
"I am."
"Me name Is Patrick Casey. I've
been wurrkln out in the yar—rds."
"Glad to know you, Mr. Casey.
What can I do for you?"
"Ye can go to hell. I've got a Job
on the Wabash!"—Irvin Cobb in the
Boston * -Globe.

away, and allowed the visitors three
hitB in the final frame.
Watson, a one-armed hurler, did the
flinging for the visitors, and the locals
seemed to take kindly to his offer-

JUST a slim girl, maybe* or a motherly woman with sweet
eyes and white hair—but what a responsibility is hers!
She is the active partner in the business of running a
home. She buys most of the things which go to make
home life happy, healthful and beautiful. Through her
slim, safe fingers goes most of the family money.
And wisely and well it is usually spent too—far better
than the average man could spend it himself. For women
are better purchasing agents than men. They compare
prices, weigh values and shop carefully.
QThey read advertisements regularly. You'll find, the
wise little home manager searching .the advertising col-
umns for news that will add to the comfort, convenience
and improvement o fher home. You will find the same
clever purchasing agent studying the advertisements to
find where and when to buy, and what and how to buy
most economically. The advertisements, too, tell this
responsive art director how she can make her home more
beautiful, more individual—the kind of home that a man
appreciates but never knows how it is done!
CJ Advertisements are the wise counsellors in the spend-
ing of money that the clever housewife heeds.
The business of running a home is made easier
