Lannin Greatest
Fan Among Owners

There's no doubt about it. Joseph
]. Lannin, owner of the Boston
Red Sox, is the greatest fan
among the club owners:
Col. Jacob Rupert and Capt. Til
Huston, new owners of the
Yankees, are stealing some of
Lannin's stuff, but they will
have to travel some to keep up
with the man from Boston.
THIS is Lannin's third year at the
helm of the Red Sox and he
still is travelling with the team
so as to talk baseball to his
hired hands and root for them
every day.

Some Anachron3sr1S.

It is question, parenthetlcally,
whether it is truly sportsmanlike to
live In quaint old colonial cottage
with furnace and electric lights.
have heard amateurs of the colonial
declare that they would willingly die
before they would live in an electrically
lighted colonial cottage. The anach.
ronism horrifles them: they would
have death or candles. Probably they
feel the same way about q furnace and
bathroom. Yet have no doubt that
the builders Of this colonial cottage
would have opened their hearts to all
these Inventions; and I am not sure
that they would have regarded as
anything but funny the idea that their
own kitchen paraphernalia would some
day be used to decorate my dining
room. l go further. Granting that
electric light, a furnace, and a bath
room are anachronisms in this quaint
old colonial cottage-what am l but
an anachronism myself? We must
stand together, the furnace, the cleo.
trio meter, the porcelain bathtub, and
I. and keep each other in countenance.

OF little children Will reach in vain
TO give their daddles a goodbye hug
and the men Of Sing Sing will have
to go grieving back to their cells for
the caresses. they cannot have all be-
cause Frederick Spence broke his
trust with Warden Osborne. the re-
form Sing Sing warden, and escaped
from Sing Sing where he had been
sentenced for life for murder. after
moving picture show. Osborne
promised the men number of privil-
eyes ali tending towards their own
betterment and the production of bet
ter citizens for the state of New York
if they themselves kept certain rules
laid down by their own Welfare
league. By Spence's act LOO men
lose some of their most cherished
rights under the new regime and it
is safe to say that Spence, when he
is brought back to Sing Sing will be
the most unpopular man there.
Threats OF ostracism are being made
against him though, oddly, no one
blames Warden Osborne for his cur
failing OF the former privileges of the
convicts. All realize that the prison
has broken faith with the warden and
that he must act as he does.
A delegation of prisoners, repre-
senting the Welfare league, waited up
on the warden and offered their SER
vices and deposited 500 made up OF
funds of the prisoners themselves as
q reward for Spence's capture.
yhe escape OF Spence is the first
even tried since Osborne took charge
! OF the prison and organized his gold
en- rule regime.
