was yesterday bought from Boston
by Comiskey. O'Brien did not have
any luck in Boston, and his departure
was also FASTENED by the fight he had
with Joe Wood in the last worlds
series. We're banking on O'Brien
making good. Eddie CicOtte was
tinxed in Boston, but is a strong
hurler with the Sox. There's the old
dope for you.
Boston has slipped far away
Worlds champions last fall, Stahl's
team is now in fifth place, with slim
chance of finishing better than fourth
at the best. The team didn't have
the comeback punch, and injuries to
regular players also hurt its chances.
Wood and Bedient, two star pitchers
failed in the early part of the season.
Detroit is ahead of st. Louis, but
Stovan has a better team than Jen-
nings, and the end of the season will
see the Browns at least one rung
farther up the ladder than the Tigers.
Stovau has added some good young
players to his stable, as has Jennings,
but George seems to have made the
best picks. LaVans, his young short
stop, looks like a conner of the first
water
Chance is waIIOwing along in last
place with his Yanks, considerable
fall from the head of a pennant ag-
gregation, but the P. L. is not to be
censured. In the last month his
team has played better ball than
either Detroit or st. Louis, and,
though there is small hope of him
finishing out of last place, Chance is!

ers now and the pennant is no Wild
eyed dream.
Sailing deserves credit in Boston.
He has started the development of a
ball team out of a bat bag. A few
youngsters, never heard of until they
joined the big show, have made the
Braves a pesky team under any con-
ditiOns. In st. Louis Higgins is up
against it. He has good men, but his
pitchers can't deliver, mainly because
there is not an experienced catcher
to receive their shots. Tinker will not
finish in eighth place with his Reds.
Joe is making trades that will make
his aggregation formidable
The American League upsets do
not center around first place. Connie
Mack was picked to win with his
Athletics, and the elongated sphinx
has driven them out in front to a
nine-and-a-haIf game lead over
Cleveland, in second place. Instead
of slumping, the Macks increase their
lead. AS far as first place is con-
cerned, the race is over July 4 for the
first time in several years.
Birmingham pushed his Maps fast
for time, but they could not stand
the grueling pace of the Macks. No
one expected they would be the run
ners-up at the halfway point. Biz
mingham deserves credit. He is
bound to finish in the first division,
but may have to take the dust of the
White SOx.
Washington is doing as well as was
expected, many wise owls believing
Grifhth's team was flunking last year
when it finished second. With one
more good pitcher GTiff would be
ahead of Cleveland.
The SOx are not going to win the
pennant, but they surely will wind up
in the first four. Callahan is making
deals that strengthen the team. It is

Servian Women.

There Is no country in the world where women occupy a more dignifed or honored position in the home than Servia The Seryian idea Is quite diff ferent from that of the Turk. who keeps his women behind shut doors, or the German. whose ideal woman is a good hausfrau. In SeTyia the woman is the companion of the man. A man is responsible for his unmarried sisters, and throughout the Balkan states it is considered rather q breach of etiquette for him to marry before bis older sis ter. No Servian girl would feel she could hold up her head in society un- less she could speak four languages. There is hardly q Servian woman who cannot play some musical instrument Embroidery, painting. drawing and sculpture are al studied. Politics is q popular feature among women. Ser yian women are very domesticated. and the highest ladies pay personal atten- ton to trivial matters of housekeeping London Tit-BitS.
