A ground rule, accepted by Er- nest 8. Bernard, American league president, now limits drives hopping into the left fleld bleachers of the Stadium from the turf to two bases. The rule doubtless will handicap shorter hitters, but will have slight effect on Ruth. His drives usually take the first bounce high up in the stands or in the adjoining streets.

Sigrun Munthe, Voyage to Greenland The voyage which Dr. Nansen made to Greenland when he was a student indicated to him the vast field for exploration and scientific study in that land and in 1887 he began preparations for an' expedi- tion to cross the great ice fields that covered the interior of that ‘country. The possibility of his suc- cess was discountenanced by many Arctic authorities of that time, re- sulting in the Norwegian Govern- ment refusing him a small grant which ‘he ‘had . requested.. ' This, however, paid the greater part of the expenses from his own pockeét. The expedition started in Ma}’. for the east coast of Greenland. left the ship on July 17 to force a way through the ice belt to lard about ten miles distant. It took the party twelve days to reach their objective, in the meantime having been carried some distance south with the ice drift. They struck the west oast of Ameralik Fjord in September and upon reach-| ing the settlement of Godthalb were obliged to spend the winter there. The party returned home in May, 1889. In 1890 Dr. Nansen conceived the' idea of a polar expedition to cross the polar regions by getting his vessel fixed in the ice north of His theory was that a drift-current set across the regions from Bering Strait and the neighborhood of the New Siberia Islands toward the coast of Greenland. His plan, al- though adversely criticized, suc- ceeded. The expedition sailed on the “Fram” June 24, 1893. In Sep- tember the “Fram” was made fast to a floe in 78 degrees, 50 minutes, north latitude. Shortly afterwards she was frozen in and the long drift began.
