BROUGHT JOY TO ART LOVERS
Masterpiece of Painting, Recently
Found in Spain, Has Stirred Critics
and ConnoissetErs.

A discovery that his given critics
and connoisseurS Of art i'm Spain a fine
topic of conversation was made the
other day when somebody found in an
old barn at EXtremadura, an ancient
painting of great merit, but with moth
ing about it that has yet indicated the
name OF the painter, the Christian
Science Monitor states.
Manuel Cossio, an expert, declares it
work of "transcendent Importance
for the history of Spanish art" pre-
cursor Of the figures by Ell Greco and
Zurfraran-but offers no opinion as to
the identity of the artist. Mr. Exbev-
arrieta, millionaire of Bilboa, comes
forward with the large sum Of money
needed TO persuade the possessor not
to offer the picture for foreign pur-
chase. and so it remains temporarily
i'm the PradO museum while the gov
eminent decides whether or not to ac-
quire it permanently. The critics seem
in agreement that the unknown paint
er painted it in the first half of the
sixteenth century. Otherwise the world
has found new art mystery; and ap-
parentiy, too, the man who owned the
barn is as much surprised as anybody
else.

SCRAPPING MANAGER
STILL In BASEBALL
Both Leagues Boast of Leaders
Handy With Their Fists.
Former Star Player Laments Fact
That Game Is Becoming Hand
shaking Observation-Disclosures
Battles Not Numerous.

Jess Burkett, former big league star
batsman, recently lamented the fact
that baseball was becoming a hand
shaking institution. There is not
enough fight in the modern game OF
baseball to suit the aggressive Jess
Perhaps battles on the diamond are
not as numerous as they once were,
but it cannot be said that the present
condition which Burkett mourns has
been brought about entirely by the
present crop of managers, for in the
big leagues today nearly all of the
pilots are known quantities as far as
scrapping goes.
In the American league there are
two premier performers with their
mitts in Ed Barrows of the Red Sox
and kid Gleason of the Chicago
White Sox. And Jimmy Burke of the
Browns and Clarke Griffith of the Sen
ators cannot be considered shrinking
,violets.
The National league, however, is
much better equipped in the matter of
fighting leaders in Hugo Bezdek of the
Pirates, John McGraw of the Giants.
Branch Hickey of the Cardinals, Fred
Mitchell of the Cubs and George Stall
ings Of the Braves. Any of this crowd
will battle, and if rumors can be cred
tied, any of them can, in a pinch, go
TO the mat with an obstreperous play

style, he would probably reply without
hesitation. Harry Vardon, of course,
but, according to Harold 81. Hilton
former British amateur champion, this
is incorrect.
Many wears before Vardon was TAX
ing part in championship golf a Ger
tain amateur, John Ernest Laidley
was playing better than any other in
Scotland and at the same time much
more on a par with the best profes
sional talent in either Scotland OF
England, says Hilton. Laidley was
holding the grip of all his clubs by the
aid of overlapping the fingers of the
right hand over the fOrefinger and
thumb of the left hand, and his sue
cess was so great that one would have
naturally assumed that he would have
many imitators.
No doubt in his own circle at Mus
selburgh and at North Berwick there
was a certain eoterie of admirers who
followed him, but as none of them
made any marked success it became
| SOufCW1ltlt ICtOSl1iACO lli<lt L1iuiCJ
unique methods were simply the &C.
centricity of golf genius, and were not
safe for the ordinary man to initiate.
Next to adopt the overlapping grip
among the famous players was J. H
Taylor. He lis slightly younger man
than Vardon, and while it would not
be fair to assume that he took to the
method of grip before Vardon, he ap-
peared in first class golf before the
Jersey man and made success of il
before the latter did. SO he must be
viewed in the light Of being the sec.
ond apostle of the grip which is sc
prevalent in present-day golf.
A little later Vardon came on the
'cene utilizing a similar grip to that
IF Laidley and Taylor, and it was
only then that the critics began thor.
oughly to realize that there must be
something in this unOrthodox methoC
IF gripping the club. Soon there he.
anne quite a craze for overlapping the
myers, and the comparatively new
orm of hold was termed the "Vardon'
rip, by which it is referred to to this
lay. BY that name it will probably
ilways be known.

position, preferring to let his deeds
speak for him. They have, and whel
classes in graduating at Princeton hon
ored him as an honorary member OF
their classes, it speaks volumes of the
esteem and respect they have toward
him down in New Jersey.
With the late Mike Murphy, "Pooch"
Donovan of Harvard, piper" Dono-
van, the first American Splinter to run

Park, Natick, for the professional foot

letics was established.
Organized Famous Teams.
He was one of the frs, to organize
the famous hose, hook ind ladder
teams, when racing of this Kind was so
popular and the rivalry between Mas
sachusetts towns was keen.
1t was at Yale that Fitzpatrick made
his start at a trainer in 1890 and 1891.
Contrary to the general impression,
FitZ was alone in handling the rOndi-
ton of the football players and coach
ing the track men.

er who might happen to get the idea
he can run" rhe boss.
Connie Mack of the Athletics, Miller
Higgins of the Yanks and Hughey
Jennings of the Tigers might be
classed as the peaceful delegates, be-
cause they invariably try to settle by
arbitration what the other scrappy
managers want to iron out in battle.
Age usually takes much of the fire
of the scrappy leaders, and even John
McGraw is inclined to let pass some
CALLING incidents that only a couple of
seasons ago would have sent the "Lit-
lie Napoleon" into hurricane of rage.
The officials and not the managers of
baseball are responsible for the con-
ditions of the present, for, as Pat Mo-
ran says. the player who fights for his
point now is a rowdy instead of an ag-
gressive ball player.

"When he came back he went to her,
and though he had faced the terrors of
