Moat of the big baseball player#

for youngsters. I know that Lou Gehrig,
for example, recently broke an en^
gagement to go to a purly at a hoys
club. And when he got there, with
Minlllng good nature he autographed
hooka, cards und everything the kid#
offered him on which to write hia
name. Gehrig, the 'man tClark Grlftllh
and many other baseball men have
frequently selected an their ull-star.

likable giant, who has none of the s?>

followed the straight ami narrow path. I
Hecause he has been on the same team
with the Ha he, l.ou Gehrig bits not always

deserves, and It might he only natural
If he felt some resentment. Hut his
admiration for ltuth Is unoolored by
the slightest tinge of JealouAj| The

that ltuth Is a grand fellow and the

When the New York Yunkees are
on the road, Oehrlg sometimes goes
down to the dining room ahead of
ltuth and the Babe usks Lou to order
his dinner for him, tt

Ruth now sees humor In an experience
he once had, but he didn t laugh
when it happened He was drlxing his
car to keep a golf engagement at a
club which Is pretty well out in the
country, and he was hurrying. A
small town motorcycle cop chased and
halted him. "He
didn't recognize me." said the
great man. In relating the incident t->
his friends, "so 1 told him my name."
"And what did he say then?" in
quired a listener.
"lie said." roared the Hnbe. "So
your name Is Ruth? Well, what business
nre you In?'" (
To a man who can't walk a block
or two In New York without tying up
truffle, this was a crushing blow.
It Is an experience to walk on a
busy thoroughfare In almost any large
city with either of those two superlative
showmen, Ruth or Jack Dempsey.
Before you have gone a block, you
realize that as far as avoiding attention
Is concerned, you might as well
lead a lion on a leash, or take an airlug
on an elephant. As a matter of
fact, I saw an elephant led through
.our ittcoti for advertising purposes,
and It attracted considerably less attention
than I have seen crowds display
for both the Mannssa Mauler and
the Bambino.
One more story about Ruth. When
ho was making a picture In Hollywood,
a certain news service assigned
a reporter to "cover him," with \lnstructlons
not to let him out of sight
from the time he rose until he retired
for the night, and to write all he did.
The representative of the press took
his job so seriously that he got on the
Babe's nerves. He asked Ruth
whether he did any road work keep
In condition and was assured that he
did. Why then, the"Yeporter demanded,
had he never seen the Babe on the
road. It was hecause, he was told,
he did not rise early enough, ltuth. he
was told, did his road work at 6 a. m.
The news gatherer was shocked to
hear that he had been tnlaslng something
and announced that he would
be on hand the next morning.
This was unwelcome news, but the
Babe and Artie McQovern, who was
with him, set nn alarm clock for 5:45
and struggled out into the early dawn
They found the reporter waiting.
They started to Jog up the street and
the reporter Jogged with them. Hut
then the Babe Increased the pace. At
the end of a couple of blocks, the
news bound was nil in. He gasped a i
question as to whether they would re ,
turn by the same route, was assured
thnt they would and dropping breath- 1
less ..Ti a lonven: nt lawn, stated that
he would w a : for them. The Babe 1

Pawnbroker's Sign Traced
to the City of Florence
The three glided balls which are
often used as the Indication of a pawnbroker's
shop may be traced to the
City of Florence many hundreds of
years ago. The business of lending
money for prollt Is very old, and the
establishment of such a business was
an Important pnrt of the enterprises
carried on by the powerful Medici
family during the Middle ages.
This family rose to wealth und In
fluenCfe by successful commercial ventures.
and continued to combine the
career of merchants and bankers with
the exercise of political power. It was
In ajl, probability the Importance of
the Medici in money matters that led
the money-lenders to adopt the Medici
coat-of arms, on which there were three
gilt halls. Some authorities say that
the three halls represent three pills,
In a punning allusion to the profession
of medicine by the Medici family.
1 Location of Sing Sing
Sing Sing Is a famous New York
state prison located at Osslnlng, a
town on the Hudson river about thirty
miles north of New York city. The
town Itself was originally called Sing
Sing, supposedly from the Sine Sing
or Slotslnk tribe of Indians who once
llred In that vicinity. In 1901 the
name of the town was 'officially
changed to Osslnlng, which Is merely
a different form of "Sing Sing," because
the old name became objectionable
to the Inhabitants due to its association
with the penitentiary. Both
"Sing Sing" and "Osslnlng" are corruptions
of the Delaware Indian word
"asslneslnk," literally meaning "at the
small stone."

Bogey's Biography
A golfing gentleman still well remembered
Is Colonel Bogey. According
to report, he wns born In England
and derived his name from the
song popular at the time: "Hush,
hush, here comes the bogey man!" He
was thus named by the secretary of
the United Service Golf club, who a
little later suggested that as all members
of that club must be serving or
retired officers, It was proper that the
new Invisible member should have
rank, and that as he never made mistakes
he must be a senior officer?
hence the title "Colonel."?Boston
