English Women Smoking Cigarettes

The English people are beginning

Here is a remarkably fiattering ap-
probation written by one of its high

she take no interest in sports. This

Important, the wonderful fact. Take

spot whence you can get a view over
miles of English country. hill and
Gale and woodland, and it will do for
the American camp. One other thing
is NEEDED before the imagination can
fully comprehend this portent. The
high, windy spot must be within
walking distance OF an old English
town. which has an intimate place in
our early history and owns as many
legends as would make n book OF ro-
nance and enchantment.
Many Americans visited the town
in the old days. They were then in

other name in their guide books.
Their successors actually occupy
a rest camp. It is true that they
do not sit down for very long, for
they are on business and rather
pressing business. But every provi-
sion is made for their comfort. which
they have made themselves. So ii
comes about that. stumbling on the
camp by chance, a man who has
known the high, windy spot in the
days OF peace is at first a'1ittle dazed
by the transformation wrought by
war. The streets of huts remind
him Of the towns that grow up in a
night in a colony. There is a shock
between them and hallowed history
and tradition, as though some

League and figures that he is just
as strong against Vaughn and Tylor.
Rather it looks to me as if Hendrix
splitter or Speed Martins curve would
trouble McInnis more than either of
the Mitchell southpaws.
The figures leave McInnis a con-
siderable lead over his rival in the
position, although not as much as
they would show were they to be
compared for an entire season
against all kinds of pitching.
Nothing could be more misleading
than figuring Merkle n $40 hitter
(as he has been this season) or than
tiguring McInnis a .270 hitter (as
he now fisures). If we were calculat-
ing for an entire season wo would
have to follow these figures. But the
fact is that the figures practically
ought to be reversed. McInnis is a
normal 800 hitter and has been
practically all the time since he
broke in, while Merkle's normal gait
is around .265. Differing conditions
this season, coupled with McInnis
slump while changing positions,
have altered their standing. The
thing which makes them look so
nearly equal for the purposes of this
series is that Merllle is a righthanded
hitter, who hits rather better against
the kind of pitching he must meet
especially such as that of Mays and
Bush), while McInnis' probably hit
ting is cut heavily by the fact he is
up against the kind of pitching
which has proved effective against
him in his own league.
In fielding McInnis has all the
edge.
Wood at First For Cleveland
In considering the chances of
Cleveland, which we must do even
though they practically are out of
the struggle at this time, we must
use composite of two players. had
to figure a composite of Wood and
Boscher in right field, and it looks
as if 1 will have to figure Wood in
as first baseman against Chicagos
lefthanders. and as right fielder
against the righthanders, for surely
Fohl will strive to use his full right
handed swing strength against
Vaughn and Tylor.
Even so, Cleveland does not look
impressively strong against the Cubs
in the first base end of the job. They
compare fairly we'll at that because,
if the Cubs get against Cleveland,
their attacking strength will not be
as strong as it would be against the
Red SoX. In other words, Coveleski.
with his twisting fader and his sharp
breaking spit ball, and Bagby and
Morton with their shoots and speed,
would tend to check Merkle's bat
ting if they do not stop him to a
standstill. They are just the three
kind of men who would stop him,
especially Coveleskie.
Tomorrow, being another day, we
will consider the second baseman
and it is violating no confidence to
state we are going to be surprised
to find how weak second basemen are
this season. However, the weakness
or strength does not affect the
chances of a team much, provid-
ed both candidates are weak, as in
this case.

let loose the wild humor of Mark

when he is really out for the day, is
prim and even grim. The same man

cussing the subject with me. ex-
pressed definite views on the burial
place of a renowned hero. This man
was a chauffeur. The whirlwind
pace he drove at may have, given
him leisure for speculation. All I
could do was listen and hold on; so
the theory cannot get into print. It
was not so fascinating in any case,
as the spectacle of the man himself,
taken from a remote American state,
conveyed over a few thousand miles
of land and sea, and planted on this
sacred ground to each an English
man his own antiquities. Not AFRO
gantly, by any means. but with a
winning air of suggestion.
Arrogance, boasting, side or
'swank' are all alien to the average
American soldier. If there are more
modest or more shy men on the face
of the globe than these campers-out,
they must live in some as yet undis-
covered spot, in the heart of Africa
or at the Poles.
1T is, however, notorious that
America can claim a larger variety
OF humanity than most countries.
One casual acquaintance in this
camp came from Georgia, and an
other. who claimed New England as
his home, told how a small census
had been taken of a dozen soldiers
selected at random. by whom eight
states were represented. II was the
man from New England who let me
into the secret of what shocks the
American soldier in England. Un-
less he happens to be familiar with
the hands of the idle rich in big
towns, he is struck either dumb or
into language by the sight of won-
en- smoking cigarets.'
