Special airplane photographs were taken a few days ago during one of the few, clear periods preceding the great 1923 battle of the diamond and give a unique view of the colossal enclosure. The soft color of the IS ton copper cornice along the top of the grand stand was dimly vis'ble in the shadow anif ihe unusual flag pole in the fo.eground was shown bearing the American flng with the Yankee pennant beneath, and the words "Chut .piops, American League, Season 1922. ' This flag pole bears on its topmost point a great copper baseball and just beneath is a tremendous copper . baseball bat 8 feet in length, gilded, a fitting insignia of a park which is the home grounds of Babe Ruth, as well ns being useful as a weather vane. Hoth the cornice and the bat were done in copper because of the permanency, of that metal and the fact that both its perfect resistance to the weather and its lightness preclude the possibility of repairs ever having to be made.

This is the recipe for successful (op eration of an electric jnilway given by Britton I.'Budd, president of the Chica go, North Shore & Milwaukee line, which ioday was awarded the Charles A.

A score of electric railways competed this year.' The Budd road won largely on its showing in popularizing service, increasing public good will aud improving relations with its employes. t Employes wll get the $1000 prize mon ey for their 'benefit fund.
