GEORGE A. STONE, THE PEERLESS
Nebraska boy the bright Particular
Stnr of nnae BnII ELrmnment.


The statistics furnished by the officials
of the American league should be in
tensely interesting to the critics of George
A. Stone. For some strange reasOn-sOme
people think II is jealousy in many cases
few Of the wise ones can't see anything
him; all he did last season was to lead
the American league in batting, field 9iN
and steal more bases than any other man
in the league but two His batting average
was 1858 And yet Cleveland thinks Il
could not use Stone. Why not? He out
on the Lajoie team. The fact is, Stone has
been criticised since his advent into pro-
fessional base ball as having a false posi-
ton at the bat and his position doesn't
look to be the best, but when man bats
1853 with false position, what are you
going to do? Maybe it will be discovered
after a while that all the other fellows
have been employing the false positions
and only Stone is right 1t Is either that
o. that he is a natural hltter-ne can't help
latter Is IT, what in the world would he
do If he ever swung around into the cor
rect position? How far In the rear would
he leave the LaJOies then? Perhaps II Is
a good thing that some Of the men who
bat below Stone don't ADOPT false positionS.
Clarke of Cleveland batted .35S, the same
as Stone; but the difference is, stone played
in 154 games and Clarke only htty-seVen.
Lajoie came next, with an average of 80.
il is interesting to note that not Chi
cago White SoX hit in the 800 class. OF
the regulars Isbell was the top-notcher of
the worlds champions and he only batted
.2l9. Hahn, who larruped the stufnn' out OF
the ball in the closing games Of the world
series quit with an average Tor the TeBuN
lar season OF .22l, The team average was
the lowest of the league-.23O That makes

ROME, Dec. 1.-THE Spanish government
has notified the Vatican that II objects to
taking charge al present Of the archives Of
the papal nunciature at Paris, owing to
the rupture OF diplomatic relations between
France and the Vatican. Spain certainly
would have accepted the task II requested
by the Vatican TO do so when the papal
nuncio at Paris, Mgr. Lorenzelli, was re-
called, as France then could not have
made any objection. Rut after the expul-
sion OF Mgr. Montagnini, the secretary of
the nunciature and the search Of the
archives such a step as taking charge of
the papal interests In France might be re-
garded as hostile to the French govern
