NEED MUCH TIME AND MONEY
Hard Task Ahead of Those Who
Dream of Making Desert "Bios-
som Like the Rose"

"Those who have fought over the
salt-encrusted plains of Mesopotamia
know only too well what an enormous
amount Of expenditure will be nee
essary before such a desert will re-
semble. anything like rose," says a
correspondent. Before the British
engineers brought their electric
plants the streets Of those ancient
cities Of Bursa, Amara, and Bagdad
were well-nigh impossible after the
sun had set. To the initiated, Arab
an nights are Arabian nightmares.
An Arab chieftain said one night in
Bagdad: We want the English. We
hate the Turk. He does nothing fol-
US. He gives us no education, no JUS
tice, no electric light. and no drains. 2
There was no doubt about it, foi
scarcely had he spoken than down
came torrent of Stops from the roof
Of house above us. It reminded me
Of the stories Of old Edinburgh. How
much money, we wonder, has been
expended IN making our own deserts

SAM CREWS is DISAPPOINTED
Pitcher Who Hurled No-Hit Game

Sam Crews, who pitched a no-hit
game for Birmingham against Bob
Coleman's Mobile team on May 2 last,
will very likely remain in the Southern
league for another season. His work
was uniformly excellent this season,
but not good enough to induce his
purchase by major league club. Had
the draft system still been in vogue, it
is certain he would have been grabbed
by one or the other of the big league
clubs. In his case. the adjustment Of
the system caused disappointment to

On New Years day every Chinese

born in April or September, but in that
highly systematical land, where every
hour is needed for making a living,
ALL the men, women and children, save
up their birthdays until New Years.
Then, having attended to the matter
all in body, they can go back to their
work without wasting any time on un.
necessary holidays. And what is still
more practical. every Chinese tries to
pay on that day the last penny he
owes. If he cannot face the world on

CHAMPIONSHIP NEVER
WON BY FIVE TEAMS
Senators, Indians, Browns,
Yanks and Cards Yet to Win.
During Six Successive Years just
Ended No Club Has Repeated-In
American League Four Clubs
Have Had Monopoly.

Pennant winning In the National
league appears to be moving in a cy-
cle and If the Pirates and Cardinals
only could win the pennant races OF
1920 and 1921 the circle would be
complete. During the six successive
seasons ending with the last cam
paign no club has repeated as a PEN
nant winner, and no team has man
aged to win two remnants. The Bos-
ton Braves won in 1914 and the three
other eastern clubs carried of the
honors in the next three seasons-the
Phillies in 1915, the Dodgers in 1916,
and the Giants in 1917. Last year the
pennant moved westward and went to
the Cubs. Now the Reds have won
the honors, but 1t is doubtful that
either the Pirates or the Cardinals will
be able to add another link to the
chain that has been forged during the
last six years.
Pennant winning has been something
Of a,monopoly in the past, two or three
clubs taking most of the honors over
long stretch of years. From 1890
to 1900, inclusive, the Boston, Brook
Ign and Baltimore clubs did all the
pennant winning in the National
league. Boston won five pennants,
while Baltimore and Brooklyn got
three apiece.
From 1901 to 1918, inclusive, the
Giants, Cubs and Pirates did all the
winning in the National league. TIE
giants won in 1904-5 and 1911-12-13,
the Pirates In 1901-2-3 and 1909, and
the Cubs winning in 1906-7-8 and 1910.
The Braves broke into the charmed
circle in 1914, and since that year the
pennants have been moving from city
to city. The st. Louis National league
club is the only one of the senior ma
jor league which never has had pen
nant winner.
In the American league only four Of
the eight cities have had pennant win
ners since the league was started 20
years ago. Philadelphia and Boston
lead with six pennants each, Chicago
has won five flags, while Detroit has
accounted for the remaining three.
Chicago won in 1901, 1905, 1917 and
1919. Philadelphia won in 1902, 1905,
1901, and 1884. Boston won in
1904, 1912, 1856 and 1918. De
troit carried off the honors. in 1907-8-9.
The American league pennant has
never flown at the home fields Of the
Yankees, Senators, Browns or Indians.

One of the oldest, most picturesque

Spiced Ale a Feature. ~.
The head of the household, just be-
fore midnight, assembled his family
around a bowl Of spiced ale from
which, as the clock struck u, he
drank the health of each. He then
passed it to the rest, who drank in
turn-not a custom which would rec
ommend itself to the board of health
during the influenza troubles.
A general handshaking followed the
drinking of the toasts, after which
all sang gravely:
Weel may we a. be.
Ill may we never see.

If they met another party on similar
errand they exchanged drinks from
their ale kettles. Reaching the house

shouted good wishes. If they were the
first to enter since midnight they had
the first footing" and as such must
give cakes or cheese and ale to every
person in the visited house.

WHO WON CHAMPIONSHIP
FLAG FOR CINCINNATI

The oft-repeated query, "Who
won the WARP" is paralleled by
one just as puzzling. 1t is,
"Who won the pennant for Gin
cinnati?" Some one has figured
that at least four men who are
not members of the Redland
outfit have just claims to rec
ignition in this connection.
They are as follows:
William f. Baker, president
Of the Phillies, who released
Pat Moran. last winter.
John McGraw, who, after he
had signed Moran as a coach for
his pitchers, voluntarily released
him so that he might accept the
management of the Reds.
Barney Dreyfuss, who refused
to waive on Walter Ruether and
Jimmy Ring last spring and so
kept them in the league.
Charles FL. Ebbetts, who re-
fused to pay Billy Kopf's salary
demands, the result being that
Kopf remained with the Reds.

New Year Celebrations and OBJ

Obscure Origin.

~ YER since some forgotten
savage astrologer came to a
rough conclusion regarding the
length and nature of the di'
vision of time we call "a year." the
passing of one twelve-month period
and the coming of another has been
the occasion for celebrations, prayers

strange customs. Every race, no mat.

The ringing of the bells, the watch

universal and is observed to some ex-

The old Persians had custom
which would have been much appreci-
ated just now. They gave their friends
eggs. Presumably, for the custom was
widespread among all classes, the
price of those was much lower in az
cient Iran than in modern America.
In France the custom of New Years
gifts has survived longer than in any
other European nation. The druids of
Britain presented their friends with
branches of sacred mistletoe.
Frowned On at First.
The early Christian church rather
frowned on New Years observances
probably because of the ancient Rom
