They drink between drinks
exclaimed Jack London in one Of
his adventurous South Sea yarns.
London's reference was to the life
led by the foreign inhabitants on

His statement was in strong sup
port of the oft-told wickedness. Of
the Orient, where restraint, in lar
ge measure, is removed from the
life of the white man.
In prose. and poetry, since the
days when the Orient was opened
to foreign intercourse, the lure EN-
bodied in the vague ".Call Of the
East" has been inevitably associa-
ted with the cheer Of the flowing
bowl. The tales of tourists, the
yarns Of men who go down to the
sea in ships, the experiences of
foreign consuls and commercial
travellers have added a generous
splash Of color to the picture. There
has been much exageration, no
| doubt, in stories that depict the
sinful phases of the Far East, but
this much may be said in truthful
conservatism: While the prohibi-
tionists, triumphant in America,
may succeed some day in creating
a wholly boozeless world, the
Orient probably will besthe last

force of 1.-THE Dry Mystery.

The reception Grover Alexander was
given when he arrived in Chicago from
overseas service gives a fairly good
idea of how he will be received by base
ball fandom In general. John Alcock,
Chicago scribe, tells of Alec's return as
follows: -.
1t looked as II Chicago were prepar-
ing to entertain a new president when
the Twentieth Century Limited rolled
into the La Sale street station. There
was a big battery Of camera men
movie and still variety. There was a
great gathering Of reporters. And there
were commoners galore-too many to
count,
1t wasn't a new president that drew
this outpouring. 1t was Grover Cleve-

in France. 1t wasn't his war activities
that drew the crowd, either. Mr.. Alex

EXPECT MAX CAREY
TO STAR THIS YEAR
Should Steal More Bases Than
Ever Before in Career.

Pittsburgh baseball writers, now that
President Heydler has called for a more
strict enforcement of the balk rules in
the National league, are looking for
Max Carey to set a great pace in base
stealing and become a real rival of
Ty Cobb, of the American league. Com
menting on the subject, one Pittsburgh
scribe has this to say:
For years the cry In the big leagues
has been more hitting, and now both
major leagues are giving attention to
the balk motion, there is bound to be
advantages granted in any department
Of the game, in recent years, have gone
to the pitchers. Now the pitchers are
to feel the penalty of the old estab-
lished rule on balks, a matter which
has been overlooked by umpires, espe-
cially in the National league, for many
seasons.
More attention has been given the
balk motion in the American league
as a result he junior circuit has been
shining at the expense of the older
league.
Fans have often compared the theft
ability of Carey and Cobb, and the
comparison always favored Cobb. yet
Carey year after year led the National
league In this department of the game.
Last fall, when President Heydler was
in Pittsburgh, Carey mentioned the
the grievance of the fleet-footed gar
dener has had some effect, for recently
an order went out that umpires are
to pay strict attention to the manner
Z In which pitchers attempt to hold 4
unn on first base.

Neil was a 112-pound man. That is
