If they find trouble in hitting' the pellet as it is deliv ered from the pitching box they may find solace for their souls by going over and whanging the suspended baseball that is connected to this “jabber.” While swinging here they can' practice batting stance, the pioper method of going out after the ball, the way to cijJ, and so on. That is the prime purpose of the 'before mentioned structure, to learn batting form. If anyone is still cur ious they -are invited to go out to the diamond and look.

From three to five, when the Senior Kitties will walk appraisingly down the row of visiting Thomases, and softly purr their approval, of lack of it, the goings-on will wax eali forical. First of all the feline fixin’s, Rao Stephens, newest blues-singer in the whole alley, will lift her voice into the night. A special back fence will probably be constructed to give color to the occasion, and hob nailed shoes Siay be substituted for confetti. And the movement is still on foot for Bobby Warner, Varsity yowl leader, to syncopate a H’ery clever poft shoe dance to “Kitten on the Keys.” Ernest McKinney, of Heilig fame, will impersonate thdt which he isn’t, just for one afternoon, and catnip capsules will be distributed just before his performance to re lieve any convulsions that may occur during the performance. Edith Pearson,plus a dancing part ner of her own choice has no small / part in the Cat-Astrophe’s program, and the nature of their performance is to be decided at any moment now. Camille Burton, of Junior Vaude ville fame, is to become a feline pro tern, and at the conclusion, wilt perhaps be crowned with a Wreath of catnip. Gwendolyn Hayden will be there with the soothing strains of her vio lin. To the reader of discriminat ing mind, there is also a cat con nection l»ere—it is the very founda tion of Gwendolyn’s music, whereof her violin strings are made. The dance progra'ms will even bo the s/hape of black cats, and—the saucer of milk is said to taste su- ^ spiciously like punch.
