That bird was as far out as a certain party’s goin' to be after election d: Or words to that effect. Said Umpire Gillespie significance to his remarks) : “T have spoken! Cease, microbe, end play ball!" . PiS: Similar words. All of which and a little more unrecorded made things & bit awkward for a few innings, and yesulted in a decision being handed down from his highship’s sanctum with the rule of rules appended. The critical game of the series was to be played this afternoon, weather permitting, with the Yanks meeting the A's. If the Yankees win, the fight's still on: but if the A’s score they cap- ture the pennant. Advance reports from the opposing camps indicate cer- tain victory for both teams. The game as_played by these teams is not exactly like that seen daily at Griffith Stadium during base ball sea- son. A few minor changes have been made. The outfield is not quite so far out, for instance; and the basemen are | a little more chummy, being almost within speaking distance of each other. Then, too, the ball is larger and a little Soft than “Babe’ Ruth's swatting | pill. The Babe visited the War College | diamond not so long ago, by the way, and yelled himself hoarse for his kin- dred Yanké, : i A number of former West Point stars are bolstering the line-up of several of * the teams. There's Johnny Herr, for: instance, who held down third base for one year and shortstop for two more up at the Point. And that same Kacher Humphrey, who said mean things to an umpire, learned to talk to ’em back | in the 90s, when he played second base for four years. Douglas Paschal, one of the youngsters on the leading \ Athletics, was a member of the cadef, nine when he was graduated from West Point in 1914, while Cols. Walter S. Fulton and Leon B. Kromer both starred in the outfield during their cadet days. i As with most things, there’s a reason for these games aside from the fun derived by the contestants. Students end faculty of the school are required ! to take a certain amount of exercise every week, and their daily 45-minute periods are given over to base ball dur- ing “luncheon recess.” Every able- bodied man in the group is on a team. In addition to this series for the pennant, there is a challenge cup series played each Fall and Spring, in which the one faculty nine and the six stu- dent teams have it out for a trophy presented by the class of '22:23.

COLDS SINCE 1889 Full of pep while others sniffle A fascinating girl, the men voted Dorothy, as she vigorously skated in the crisp wintry air. Her eyes bright, her cheekswind-kissed to a lovely color, she was an inspiring pic- ture of glowing health and vitality. How did she avoid the sniffles which handicapped the other girls and kept them from enjoying winter’s wonderful sports? Very simply! Right after every exposure —if her feet were the slightest bit wet, or if she felt chilly, or had that warning dry- ness in the nose or throat—she took GROVE’S BROMO QUININE. Not a minute’s time did she lose. All winter she carried the little white box in her purse for just such emergencies—and for head- aches, too. So she nipped the cold while it merely threatened . . . .
