.Hoople Would

Play Pinochle And solitaire
BY MAJOR liOOl’LE
NEW YORK. Oct. i.—Egad. folks.
Last evening was spent in a heated
discussion up in my hotel room with
a group of cclcbraicd baseball
wrltcrs.
The topic. of course. was baseball.
i claimed that the Nidjka Beetle of
the' Belgian Congo, was by far the
most dcadly of all the inhabitants
of the jungle There are few who
will hear me out on this‘ (they bore
the Major out at 4 a. m.-—I.lnoiypcr's
note) as there are only *wo men in
the world who ovcr came in contact
with the Nldjka Bertie.
One was Captain Sivlzzncr of an
ill-fated arctic schooner who met his
demise in a fur coat. t'l‘ho fur coal
was dwelled in by a polar bear at
the time.
Well. sir. the only remaining per-
soa who has had personal experience
with the Nldika Brcilc. is myself.
The other gentlcmrn were arguing
the point of the respective ability
and team \nlue of a Mr. Ruth and
a Mr. llornsby, ball players 1 be-
llcve.
lid 1-2.
Now then. the Nldjka Broile is un-
like any other beetle in the world.
in that fact that it. cr—ah. that is—
wcil. it mos‘. certainly is, by Jove.
That settles that. cgnd!
The point that 1 stressed in the
controversy. was illn‘. if more ball
players would slide into first base on
a walk. it would add mor- action to
the contest.
The same holds true with the out-
i‘lclders. Thcro are many inninn
that they remain idle with their
hands on their knees chewing to-
bacco. You understand. of courac.
i do not mean to infer that thclr
kncca are chewing tobacco-billy. an
utter physical impossibility. besides
bring ridiculous. cgadl
I suggested that during ibrir ldlc
periods the outflcldc’ra could occupy
lhrmscIVcs playing thrcc‘imndcd
pinochle. or. if they are not on
speaking tcrms. play solitaire.
My suggestion was taken very
seriously by all. as I noticed lf‘\'t‘rli
of the gentlcmen tsp their fore-
heads and nod gravely to one an-
o‘hcr. A silent compliment to me
that i had thought of a remarkable

house swings that started from the
floor. and Lord easily stepped inside
of them and shot short punches
and jolts to head and body. It was
the same way every round. Lord
caught Ballerina with many straight
rights as Mike walked in. sen-rail
times Ballerino was rocked from
head to heel fronl these blows that
were well timed and carried quan-
