Tic is a Chicago board of trade man, dig

dearly loves baseball. He also has a son,
six years old, who loves the game as dearly
as does his father, and while the elder enjoys
the playing in a solid, placid, contented way.,
the boy hubbies over with enthusiasm and.
outroots all other rooters.
During the last Chicngo-St. Louis game
father and son ml in the grand stand under
the intense strain of knowing that St. Louie
had two men on bases and two out, and if
the man at the bat made n base hit the score
would he tied, ho latter smote the ball,
heavily. It soared upward mid onward, far
hack into what the baseball reporter calls
"the left garden."
Left Fielder Ryan was there, and, after n.
long, hard spurt, caught the fly on his finger
tips and held it. The crowd screamed joy
ously and the small son of his father nearly
went out of his skin for glee. The father
merely smiled with dignity.
Finally the crowd ceased its yelling after
the left fielder had doffed his can thrice.
'J here was silence as he walked to the bench
twirling his blond mustache with cither
hand.
Then, with his father's clean shaven upper
lip in mind, and with a voice thai drew the

his devoted dad, the six-year-old rooter fair

are passed almost entirely within the walls
of their yamcti. They examined her cloth

tonished at it. They were shocked by her
shoes, and especially by the fact that her
feet were not confined by bindings.
Finally oneof them said, through the in
terpreter. "You can walk and run just as
well as a man?"
"Why, certainly."
"Can you ride a pony as well as a man?"
"Of course."
"Then you must be as strong as most
men." "Yes, I think I ntn."
"You wouldn't let a man beat you, not

"Not at all."
