Word from Kelly aviation f.eld, Texas, says that Michael BcshoIo, former coUege baseball player, has performed the miraculous stunt oi ratchiiyr a baseball dropped from an airplane at the height of 700 feet from the ground. And Mike used just an ordinary infielder'a plove to do it. Bessolo is a corporal. His stunt is said to be easily a new world's record. It puts in the shade the feats of Billv Sullivan and Charley Street, the catchers who caught baseballs dropped from the top of the Washington monument. Now officers are wondering if Michael a versatility can't be directed in some useful manner against the Kaiser.

King George Winds Up to Pitch First Ball at July 4 Game LONDON, June 27. King George is larning to throw a baseball in preparation for his appearance at the game between American teams July 4. when he vill pilch out the firft b?ll. At the request of the king. Arlie Latham, a former big league rlayer, who will umpire the game, sent the king a regulation baseball a few days ago. The next day Latham called at the palace and gave the king a brief lesson as to how . it should be handled. The proper Jorm in pitching was rather hard for the king to get. as he is used to a different type of throw, as in cricket, but the royal student finally began to get something approaching the right swing. Since then the king has been practicing in spare moments on a blank wall in the garden. During his visit to the Kagle Y. M. C. A. hut yesterday, the king mentioned his efforts to master the new art and expressed hope that he would be able to throw out the ball In a manner to win the approval of the American rooters.

There is an occasional whine of a shell as thfc enemy artillery begins to limber up. but with more voices joining in. the song goes on ; "I wonder if she ever tells him of me, I wonder who's kissing her now." The tinging drifts to "Good Night Ladies." The traffic becomes heavier, the roar of the guns louder, the" whine and burst of shelis more frequent. Soon the sky is aflame. Windows and doors rattle as the little house trembles from tho concussion of guns. Another night of killing and destruction is under way."
