“BABE” RUTH’S AUTOGRAPH

The College Inn has on display in its window a baseball which was received* Tuesday evening by J. E. Murphy, Grand Knight of the local order of K. of C. The ball was presented to the order by “Babe’* Ruth, the great baseballist and drawing card, and bears the autograph of the famous player. During a recent game in which “Babe” Ruth’s club met Indianapolis one of the state officers of K. of C, explained the movement of the order to build a home for delinquent and dependeht boys, and suggested to “Babe” that he autograph several I balls' which would be presented to the councils first subscribing their allotment toward this home. Bishop Dwenger council was one of the first to go “over the top,” and hence the ball.
