Of the nature lover. and there is much
interesting lore Of trees, and accounts
OF some individual trees, notable for
their size, their age, or their historical

attaining a diameter Of from only two

worse than worthless cats? Such cues
tons irresistibly arise at reading OF
sane and authoritative treatise like the
present, the object Of which Is to give
real information concerning the value
of birds, and thus to cause all who are
amenable TO information to protect and
10 care for them.
1t gives a wealth of information, too,

Lhle. Brown q Go.
Whether Lord Dunsany evinced more
poetical or dramatic power will prob
ably always be matter Of dispute.
while his most ardent admirers VIII
doubtless cOntend~that he was both
poet and dramatist in a high degree.
Divcsting our minds of the glamour Of
romance, youth and manly beauty OF
person, however, we must seriously
question his title to the most exalted
distinction; even to preeminence IN the
little group of young Irish writers OF
which he was A member.
or his charm as a poet and Of his
constructive skill as a dramatist there
can be little doubt. But it does not
appear that he poSsessed these quail
ties in so extraordinary a degree as
10 entitlc him to the fame Of genius.
Mr.. Bierstadt is as appreciatlve and
devoted Il biographer and critic as could
he wished, but even he in his zeal does
not convince US Of Lord Dunsany's sur
passing rank. But he gives Us a sym
rathetic and scholarly study of an in
teresting. romantic and heroic figure
who will not be forgotten in the his
tory Of our times in Ireland.

TIRED OF LOSSES,
HE MAY Sell CLUB
Pirates White, Elephants for
Dreyfuss Since 1913.
ROWLAND SATISFIES COMISKEY
At Least, White SOx Owner Has
Made No Kick.
BY JOE villa.

NEW YORK. May 29.-It IL persist
emily rumored in major league cir.
cults that Barney Dreyfuss soon may
sell the Pirates and retire from base
ball
Dreyfuss, 20 the story goes, Is tired
OF losing money. and also feels that
Jimmy Callahan will be unable to
build up q winner for several years.
Incidentally. Dreyfuss has been sub
Jected to much harsh criticism in
Pittsburgh lately because he has not
spent big money for first class play
ers.
Like other club owners, Dreyfuss'
hands have been tied. He mas been
willing to buy. but no good men have
been available. He tried TO secure
Fred Merkle, but Colonel Ebbets
finally sold the former Giant to the
Cubs.
SIsIer n Bitter PHI.
The loss OF George sisler was a
bitter pill for the Pittsburgh Inasnate.
Dreyfuss had a moral claim to sisler,
but the latter was awarded to the
Browns.
With the exception OF Ebbets, Drey-
fuss Is the Oldest magnate in the Ma
tional League. He broke in as part
owner OF the Louisvilles IN 1897. He
shifted the Louisville franchise to
Pittsburgh and consolidated those
clubs two years later. With Fred
Clare at the head of the team. the
Pirates won the pennant in 1901, 1902,
and 1908, losing the worlds series to
the Red Sox that year. and repeated
in 1909, when the Tigers were taken
into camp for the big title.
Dreyfuss IL said to have made 81
OOO, 900 out OF baseball, but since 1918
his club has been q financial loser.
II he sells, a Pittsburgh syndicate
will secure the club.
Commy shows No Signs.
So far Owner Charles A. Comiskey.
Of the Chicago White sox. has shown no
dissatisfaction with the managerial abil-
ity Of Clarence Rowland. The White
Sox are high in the American League
race. and ComLskey has been making
plenty Of money in Chicago. Yet the
EossIps still insist that Rowland will
be removed II the White Sox do not
get into the worlds series next October.
Several weeks ago II was rumored
that Tom Needham. who Is managing
the Newark team. would succeed Row
land IL Commy's high salaried players
did not win the pennant.
More recently a report was circulated
that Bill Carrigan. former leader Of the
Red Sox. would be engaged by the
powerful Chicago magnate. The Carri-
gan report was made public Just as the
White SoX were beginning their recent
series with the Red Sox.
