As a pitcher Nick Altrock was one of the most serious individuals that ever stepped on the ball field. Baseball was a business with him, a mighty serious one, In Nick's as a player the stars didn’t get anything like the money they do today. Always a good spender, Altrock, as he passed as a player, probably found that his bank roll wouldn't last forever. In an effort to capitalize on his reputation as a player, Altrock turned from the serious to the hu- morous. ay i Realizing all work and no play, sconer or later became monotonous, | Altrock gave a new touch to the game by pantomime comedy.

It didn’t expect to. But Coach Steve Farrell’s athletes did succeed in springing a few sharp surpises. One of the biggest upsets was the victory of DeHart Hubbard, colored star, in the 100-yeard dash.

The Toddler To Stage Comeback In Harness Race By NEA Service Clevelatd, July 18—Harness horse fans throughout the country age watching with unusual interest the progress of The Toddler, 2:03' 1-4, in the stable of Harry Stinson, noted Canuck, trainer, who has been located at North) Randall for many years. A few seasons ago, The Toddle:, a son of Kentucky Todd, was one of the sensations of the Grand Cir- cuit. In 1920 at Columbus he sprang a great surpise when he trotted. the third heat of the $3000 Neil House Stake in the fast time of 2:03. 1-4, beating such good ones as Wilkes brewer and Royal Mack in-a six- heat race. His last appearance was in 1921, when he was three times first in five starts and never back of third money. Near the close of the 1921 seqson Stifson announced that The Toddler would be shipped to Lexington, start in the Castleton Cup race and win or lose be retired. It seemed as though Stinson in- tended to keep his word, but evi- dently he figured that the horse had a lot of good races left in him, so he put him into “training again this spring. a a DELIVERY NO LONGER.

Straw Hat Feature of Schoolboys at Harrow A visit to the famous “HiIl” of Harrow, ‘on which stands a steeple which can be seen for miles, and a school which fs famous all over the world, makes the total stranger gasp with astonishment. In all weathers the Hill ts “alive” with straw hats at certain hours. These hats are straw, with a shape -and«texture which belong to the Harrovian and “to no-other tile.” , The straw hat Is as completely “the thing” ‘at Harrow as the top- per Is ,at Eton and Westminster. It fits only where it tonches and requires an elastic to keep it from, careering down the High street on a windy day. This elastic is invari- ‘ably worn under the bump at the back of the head and never under the chin, says London Answers, In wet weather the hat gets very sloppy and acts as a sort of water shed, giving the Harrovian the up- pearance of being surrounded by a miniature cataract. However, the 'straw-hat trade would suffer if this headgear were abolished, as there are 600 or 700 boys in the great school, and a straw tile does not last very long—especially on the head of 2 schoolboy. _ Banks Long Known Few things play a more {mpor- tant part in our lives today than the system of banking. The word bank originally meant fa tradesman's stall, and the first bank in anything Ike the modern sense existed about 2,700 years ngo, says London Tit:Bits. We learn about this bank from clay tablets discovered near Babylon. Apparent- ly the first firm of bankers was that of Egibi & Son, who flour- ished in Babylon about 600 or 700 C The early Chinese were in the habit of issuing paper money—in- deed, they got into difficulties by issuing too much. There was a bank in China about A. D. 1000. Famous Old City Venice ranks high‘ among “Ttal- lan cities in its supply of pictur- esque nicknames. The commer- cial center of the world in the Mid- dle ages, Venice has heen known as “The Bride of the Adriatic” and the “Queen of the Adriatic.” To this day tribute is paid by Venice with elaborate ceremonies fo the Adriatic, whose placid waters take the place of streets and bear upon their bosom the trade and life of the city. Venice is known also as “The City of St. Mark,” after its patron saint, and as “The City of the Lion,” an allusion to the great winged lon in front of the cathe- dral, holding in its paws the gos- pel of St. Mark.

Harrovian | By .Milton .Bronner NEA Service Writer London, July 18.—London has, this spring and summer, been enjoying the greatest social, athletic and business season it has known since 191%. And one of the accom- paniments of this has been the great- est season for American social snobs the city has ever had. All the brokén-down aristocrats in search of hard cash have been able to rent both town and country places to rich Americans, anxious to climb their way into British society. And the American embassy has been be- sieged by ambitious people from “republican” Americ anxious to have their daughters or wives: “rre- sented” at one of the courts held by the king and queen. By dint of persistence and pull, many of these daughters of the re- public get the coveted “commands” to present themselves at court. Busy times follow.’ They spend a small fortune having glad-rags built by some court dressmaker. They hire some impecunious British gentle- woman to teach them the preper way to bow and scrape. ‘And on the great day they sit in an auto in a long line of machines, each with a number, waiting ‘their turn to drive into the royal palaca yard. In the meantime the London cockneys gtare at them just as if they were monkies in a cage and make audible remarks about them. When they finally get into the palace, they make their stiff ap- proach to the royal pair, cuttsey, get a fishlike handshake and the big thing is over. It opens no doors for them in London «nd, doesn’t help them any in America. But their vanity has been satisfied. They have gotten something that millions of better Americans couldn’t get and probably wouldn’t care for. In France they appreciate the im- portance of daily grub. ‘For i stance, the newly elected presi- dent of France, Gaston: Doumergue, the other day got a very interesting letter from the mayor of a little fishing village of that southern nee from which the chief execu- tive also hails. It said: “Have you a good cook at the Elysee Palace? Everything depends upon that, A bad cook can cause @ bad stomach; a bad stomach para- s the best ,intentions. “If the man charged with the duty of watching over your appetite and, hence, your health, is not up to -his job, write me a word and I will con- sider myself honored to come and preside over the Elysee kitchen stoves.
