Now to get going. This old veteran, Harvey T. Woodruff, with his Help! Help! isn't so dumb. We could use it and wouldn't .even care if it was yelp! yelp! We "see by the paper" that the other teams in the American league would like to see somebody beat out the Yankees, but they c^on't like the Senators and don't want them to cop. Walter Johnson has a book out entitled "How to Fool the Batter." It's pretty good, but why did Walter use '•o many words? Lots of speed would hare told that fellow's story of wins. That popular athlete, Ray .Conway, * «®tinue,s to please the crowd- He pulled the hidden ball trick Monday night- And was that ball hidden! It fell at his feet and Ray just could see down there. v We hear that Bill Kreuteer has been doing some nice twirling for a Chicago, team, this season. We shouldn't make predictions about Bill but that coolness under fire and determination just cannot be denied. Now what did those Yankees and Pirates do but stage an exhibition game the other day. You don't suppose they were just practicing up for _a certain classic that's staged every fan? Trtiat Old-timers East 'S^e-'tVest Side ball game is the talk of the town. Some pretty sore muscles, bat the boys aren't kicking, The cash goes to charity. A very good idea. More events of this kind should be promoted.

When men were men! <*uy Bush is rapidly getting the name of being a money pitcher. Maybe so, but the old mud-cat always eeems to be bearing down no matter what the odds. Must be a great Guy for a manager to have around. A willing worker and always giving 'em all he's got. Manager Winkel of the East Side sluggers resorted to strategy in the last inning. He put a young sprinter named Dar Granger on first to run for Ed Smith. What did this young fellow do but steal second to get in a pooring position and then race in with "the winning, run on a hit. While baseball still holds the spotlight, that rough and tough game of football is perking up and it won't be long now. A South Mend contributor Bends some interesting news about the preparations for football at Notre Dame. Eugene (Scr&piron) Young, Notre Dame trainer gives out the information that twenty-seven miles of tape is used per year in caring for those big huskies. A gross of boxes of ammonia inhalants, ten to a box will be used. This will be used to bring 'eim back when they are knocked out or groggy. In the old days, the usual treatment was a pail of water dashed squarely in the mueh. Fifteen gallons of mouthwash will be used to prevent sore throats, 160 quarts of citro-carbonate will be used to prevent stomach acidity, and large amount of ergophane will be used to prevent boils and infections. They even order 100 pounds of epsom salts to be used for hot packs on sprains and bruises. Never knew they made such a fuss over those big bruisers- Can they be going sissy? Well, I'd hate to say so and then square off against that bunch on the line of ^l^innnaga Beautiful Women ••The stories of war caused by beautiful women," said Hi Ho, the sage of Chinatown, "are not Invariably true. A woman sufficiently clever to direct a war may command reputation as a beauty whether she is one or not."

LOCALS LOSE TWO -T OVER WEEK-END file Locals dropped two games over the week-end. After putting up a good scrap against the strong House ol Bavid team in the twilight game Saturday, they went down in defeat by a score \f 4 to 2. The Locals went into the ninth inning leading 2 to 1 but failed to hold the lead. Faust of the Whiskers was the big show, handling eleven hard chances without an arror. He was all over the left side* of the infield and the home boys couldn't put anything past him. The K of L team from Waukegan took the Sunday game by a score of 5 to 2. Errors seem to just about tell the whole story, but the best team has those days. It's just as well to get those errors out of their system and settle down in the next game. The Locals have scheduled the American Giants for next Sunday. It is the first colored attraction this year and should be pleasing to the crowd. Advance dope has it that the Giants have won 19 while losing 3 games this year. . • .Locals-- V; ,/. AB ** It P f a n n e n s t i l ! , J S A- Anderson, A- Smith, 2b . • 0 H JOHNSBURG WINS .

OLD RUSS EMBASSY STIRS UP INTEREST It Property of Government That Does Not Exist. Washington.--Current reports regarding recognition of the Soviet government have served to fix thp stten tion of the capital once ugnin on the old Russian embassy. That building still stands desolate and untenanted on fashionable Sixteenth street, a few blocks north of the White House. The massive granite mansion, with Its heavily shuttered windows and boarded doors, is a house without a country. Its only occupant Is a caretaker. Until. 1017 It housed the am bassador of the czar of all the Uvis sias. " The ^/mansion is the property " of a government which does not exist As far as the United States Is concerned It still belongs to the provisional government set up tinder Kerensky after the'full of the litiperlal regime, for the United States never, has recognized. :the government t»f the Soviets. •. . • . ^ Workmen Visit Building: '•'."aiBfeeiitly persons living in the bortmod of the old embassy Were start led to -see signs of great,activity, Mov jug . vans backed to the curb and n corps o/ workmen began - loading a : number of huge boxes and some-fur niture taken from the house. Word spread rtrpidly that the building was being cleared for a new ambassador from the U. S. S. R. -- Investigation disclosed, however, that the arthcles being movetf" were persorthl belongings of Serge Ughet, ioriner financial adviser of the Rifssfan embassy here, who still is cus todian of th% Kerensky government's property in the United States. Mr. Ughet, like, the embassy Itself, has no country. In fact. He Is the diplomatic officer of a nonexistent government. But the State department recognises him as the only Russian diplomat In America. Under the heading Russia, In its of flclal diplomatic list, the department has always included: " "Mr. Ughet, financial attache, 140 East BIghty-flrst street, New York city." In 1922, after the fall of the Keren sky provisional government Mr. Boris Bakhineteff, then ambassador of Russia. submitted his resignation. He suggested that Mr. Ughet continue to serve In a diplomatic capacity as custodian of all Russian property in this country. " It was to be Mr. Ughet's duty to liquidate the property and credit the proceeds against the debt the Russian government had contracted with the United States during the war. The Soviets had refused to acknowledge the indebtedness and their refusal is regarded one of the primary rea tons why this country has declined to recognize the Soviet regime. Pays Millions on Debt. Since his appointment in 1022, State department records show Mr. Ughet has paid $8,748,787.87 on the debt his government owed the United States. The debt, hovi'ever, still amounts to $327,583,071.37, of which $192,001.2^7 is unpaid principal and $134,981,774 accrued Interest. Most of the obliga tion was contracted by Russia for the purchase of war supplies in this country. The property sn Sixteenth street, the land on which the embassy stands, is not American land.
