DESERT INFANT
Baby's Body Dressed in Costly
Clothes Found Near Water

The body of a two months I'D
baby BOY, dressed in costly gar
ments and wrapped in blanket,
was found in the Eastern Branch,
at the foot of Second street south
east, Washington, Thursday morn
ing
The child apparently had been in
the water only a short time before
it was found, as its cheeks were
pink and warm; Life, however,
was extinct. i.
No signs of violence were found
on the body. Clues to the. identity
Of the; baby's :parcntss likewise were
absent. The body was removed to
the morgue.
Detectives assigned to the case
declare that .it is the:r belief that
the river will yield the body Of the
mother of the child. The manner
in which the; infant. was tucked in
the blanket leads them to believe
that both mother and child: were
drowned simultaneously. The point
at which the child was found is
heing dragged.
1t is thought that the woman was
one Of the city's., unfortunates.
What. motive the mother could have
had in consigning her offspring ts
the cold waters of the river : is a
mystery to the police.

Pat Duncan's Leap to Fame
in Majors Quickest of All
From Obscurty of Minors Former Baron Rose Glory of
Big 'Leagues-Hero of World Series-Has
Confidence
By JAMES J. coRBErr

The story of Pat Duncan is one of
the romances of baseball: the tale of
leap from obscurity of <ne minor league
TO hero roles in a worlds series.
Through the years since blue rib
ron battles have been fought many
mediocre players have arisen into the
spotlight of spectacular achievement.
And in the years that baseball has
endured, many man has jumped
into the big league and starred from
the outset. But never has any one
player so quickly bridged the gap as
has Duncan
The illness of Sherwood Magee late
in the summer of 1919 forced Pat Moran
into frantic search for some success
sor. scout tipped him that a burly
youth in Birmingham might stand the
test. Moran asked no further cues
tions--and didn't have time for any
further investigation. He took Dun
can and gambled on the chance that
the youngster would make good I'M
mediately and fill. the big outfield hole.
HAD CONFIDENCE
Duncan Joined the Reds at the most
critical period in the pennant fight.
Usuaully any youngster forced into
would show nervousness. But not SO
with Duncan. He believed in his abil-
ity to field. believed in his powers as
Observation-Disclosures implicitly in him
self. And his every action on the
ballfield even from the first day be-
spoke it.
Duncan never has flashed one culver
of stage fright in the big league He
has gone about his business in the
calm fashion of a veteran. The fact
that he was facing some of the great
est pitchers that baseball has ever
produced frightened him not at all.
He stepped up to the plate and stepped
into the pitches and banked away with
splendid results.
Duncans play from the first day
that he donned a Red uniform was
brilliant. Time and, again he checked
rallies of the opposition by splendid
fielding and wonderful throwing. And
at least a dozen times his mighty

HOPE OF TEACHERS
No Raise of Salaries in

Wien asked as to whether or not
the elementary school teachers of Biz
mingham were becoming impatient of
the delay of the board of education and
the city commission in devising ways
and means to give the elementary
school teachers of Birmingham a raise
in salary Miss Estelle Heaslett, chair
man of the teachers committee which
appeared before the board of education
requesting an increase, declared last
night that she had nothing to say"
DR.. N. A. Barrett president of both
the board of education and the city
commission, has not yet set date for
the joint meeting of the boards which
was decided upon al the meeting of the
board of education following the re-
quest of the teachers. He intimates
that there is little hope for an increase
for the teachers any time soon
There is no raise for the teachers
in sight" said DR.. Barrett, but both
the board of education and the city com
mission are trying to find some means
of an increase. AS soon as some of us
can devise some means of action to OBJ
tain sufficient funds to give the
teachers a raise we will certainly set
it in motion"
Commissioner John r Hornady of
health and education who returned to
Birmingham last night from north Ala
Bama where he has appeared in in
terest of the constitu tional amendment
which would give AZ of Alabamas
towns the right to vote their own taxes,
declared that as far as he can see the
constitutional amendment is the only
hope for the teachers getting raise.

.SALLEE JUST|FIES
MOVE TO REDLAND
WHEN MORAN WINS
Cincinnati Hurler Says Reds
Will Be Victorious in
More Games-Boys
Pull Together
NJ Bon McDAVID

Harry slim sallee, Cincinnati pitcher,
4 is justifying his move from the New
York Giants by pointing to the success
of the Redland crew in going through to
a pennant and a worlds championship.
/ Sallee is not claiming all the credit, nor
even that part to which he is justly en-
titled, but he refers to the success of the
| Cincinnati team as proving what is posi-
! bic when there is harmony on ball club.
1t will be remembered Sallee got away
from New York almost by request. He
was under contract to McGraw, but dur
ing the final weeks of the 1918 season he
became peeved with McGraw's manner
OF doing things Sallee said nothing. But
/ he carried his grudge to winter quarters
with him and then exploded in the spring
when it came time to report to McGraw.
The Giant pilot is not in the habit of
letting ball players get away just because
they want to, but he evidently figured
Sallee too valuable to force into retire.
ment, so slim was snapped off to the
Reds. McGraw, however, did not think
he was handing Pat Moran Q hurting ace
u hen he sent Slim to the Ohio port.
& Il vas anxious to get to Cincinnati,
{ said Sallee because l knew there would
be harmony on the team. I knew Pat
Moran would get the boys working to-
gether and I was sure | could work for
Pat and turn in a good season. He is the
KIND any man can Work Tor, because ne
don't drive his men"
Sallee. as a matter of fact, had one of
his best years while with the Reds. His
showing in the worlds series was not as
Impressive as some OF his followers hoped
il would be, but during the campaign his
consistent work enabled Moran's men to
turn in number of victories that might
otherwise have been lost THE Reds will
repeat in 1920" said Sallee because the
whole bunch is pulling together, and they
have terrific wallop in pinch-they
proved it." he declared. Sallee is consid-
cred a veteran In the senior league, but
he has many winning ball games left in
that left souper yet. He lives the simple
life on rn in southern Ohio
