BAsEBALL-sPoRTs OF ALL SORTS BOXING
MIKE PRENDERGAST BIG AID
TO JOE TINKER
BY Mark Shields

BY Mark Shields
Fortunate is Joe Tinker, with the
dOUble-header crop growing luxuri-
antly, to have a pitcher like Mike
Prendergast, the human lifeline.
Mike is a glutton for work and the
averages show that he is also prof.
cient, for while his record for wins
and losses does not look unusual, he
has allowed very few runs for every
nine innings he has pitched. It has
not been his fault that the OppOsi-
ton has showed over the tallies.
Prendergast is the kind of man
who can finish the first game of a
doUble-header if the starting pitcher
falters, then come right back in the
second battle and rescue another
staggering mate. PTendergast has
reached this plane of dependability
without any especial blare of trum-
pets.
Like most rescuers, particularly
those who seldom start a game, he
does not bulk large in the eyes of the
fans. They think of the men who
pitched victories without aid, and re-
member nO-hit and One-hit games.
But it is men like Prendergast that
make a bah team powerful They
are the fellows that possess the real
heart and courage. When they are
given the assignment their club is
usually two or three runs in the ruck
and it is up to the rescuer to pitch in
the face of this handicap, striving to
hold down the aliens while his pals
forge to the front.
1t is heart-breaking business, and
PTendergast's success is a tribute not
only to his mechanical ability, but to
his nerve. Mike is a darn sight more
valuable than some of the fellows
who get their names in big headlines.
Each day of vacation is a boon to
the Cubs, as it allows more time for
the cripples to recover. Heinie Zim-

THE ADVANCE OF
THE FARM Err

AS pictured in the comic supple
ments, the farmer is a frowsy sor
of animal. His clothes look like 9
tramp's, he Is usually minus a necl
tie, and If his whiskers grow, they
look like Carranza's.
The real farmer, as he comes down
town these fine spring mornings, IL

the average farm is worth close to
100000, and is increasing In value
10 per cent annually. A number of
other states are just as prosperous
as Iowa. Our friend remarked how
many farmers now have houses light.

automobiles, take one or three daily
newspapers and as many weeklies,
support churches literally and send
their children to college and techni.

or course in the newer states many
of the farmers are where the Iowa
mans father was 80 years ago. But
this fact Is much better realized than
Il was.
What folly then, for the newspa-
pers to continue the preposterous
habit Of ridiculing the farmers al.

ignored, did it not lead some silly
young people to quit the farms for
the empty allurements of the White

THE TOWN BEAUTIFUL
MOVEMENT

Some one remarked the other day,
when a certain proposal of local i'm.
rrovement was being discussed. that
Beauty is luxury. We can't afford
it," Was he right?
Here is one plain fact, and ary ex.
perienced real estate man can verify
it from his own observation. Take n
street of plain, simple houses, with
no attempt whatever at ornamental.
ton of any kind, just naked wood
bricks and cement. Suppose some
morning this spring the residents
should get together and decide that
the street looked too bare and com
monplace.
Suppose they all agree 20 spend $50
in planting shrubs and trees. grading
and sowing grass seed. Let them al.
so agree to spend few hours a week
in keeping the place neat and in
planting and tending to flowers.
What would be the effect? Com.
plete results OF course would not
show the first year. The second sea
son the hard angles between earth
and walls would be softened by a
nest Of Towering shrubbery. In a
few years more. the young trees, par
ticularly IL well selected with some
quick growers, would provide some
shade and screen.
The selling price of those places
would pick up as soon as the shrubs
got started. When the trees got a
little bigger, the whole character OF
that street would have changed. II
would suggest culture, care, refine
meut. People from other districts
would look at it longingly and would
snap up empty houses. Eventually 6
place that cost $4,000 would be likely
to sell for $500 to $4,000, because o.
the neighborhood for residence.
People who say that beauty Is {
luxury know very little about human
nature or business. A beautifieC
neighborhood is accepted as sigi
of a higher scale OF living Peopl
feel that in moving into 1t they ar
improving social station, not to speal

As one today looks over the par
