Ping Bodie Started Career
In Base Ball As InfieIder
(By International News Service. }

New York. May 3.-Ping Bodie
broke into base ball as an infelder
and apparently he never got enough
of the infeld. For some years past
Bodie has been assigned to outfieId
duty, but he never overlooks an OPP
portunity to get back to the first
line of the defense. When Ping
was with Connie Mack he played
several games at third base and did
good work, too. The absence of
Frank Baker from camp and an in
jury to Roger Peckinpaugh left .
gap in the inheld of Miller Higgins
regulars and Bodie was the first to
volunteer as an inhelder. When
Ping cuts loose with that strong
arm it is time for the pitcher to go
down, for Bodie shoots the ball
around on line and about waist
high,

Regardless OF the rainy weather
conditions during the past week,
which practically suspended all prac-
tice and the fact that the majority
Of the teams were unable t5<play
last Sunday on account of "Old
Man Jupiter interfering, the mo-
guls express great confidence ( in
their teams and ANNOUNCE that the
players are in wonderful condition
for this afternoons battles.
Six Double Headers.
Fourteen contests-all) of which
promise, to be the best staged thus
far this season, are on progressA
with double headers at Font lie
park, Miller park, Elmwocd park
LuXus Lpark, Thirty-secohd and
Dewey avenue and at Th,rty-first
and Ames avenue.
The feature contest IN the City
league this afternoon will be fought
out on the battlefield at Thirty-sec-
ond and Dewey avenue. where the
Bowen Furniture company and the
McCaffrey Motor crew clash. Both
teams are tied for first honors ! ith
a 1000 percent. considerable rival
ry exists between these warriors,
and as both aggregations are evenly
matched, battle for blood is looked
for. The said contest will start
promptly at $50 o'clock. Jimmy
Moore, one of Omaha's most favor
lite twirlers in Class B, will be on
the firing line for the Motor lads,
while Manager Moran, at late hour
last night, was still undecided who
he would send to the mould.
Mix in City League.
: Another contest of great impor-
tance in the City, league which
should prove fast and excitinr is that
between the Union Quitting ,om-
pany and the Omaha Printing COM
pany. This game will hold forth at
Riverpiew park at the hour of $3.50
o'clock. One of the features of this
battle is due to the fact that Roy
Spencer, last seasons manager of
the clothiers, with the majority of
his players, are playing with the
Omaha Printing crew, while Mana
ger Pascal with his crack Florene !,
Merchants of last season, is under
the Union Outfitting colors this
year. E. Nufer will heave\ them
over the rubber for the Outfitters
and Ray Potter, one of Omaha's
crack first sackers, will hold Gown
the initial sack.
Thirty-first and Ames will be the
scene of the feature game in the
American league when the Riggs
Optical company and the Paxton
Vierling crew mix. Intense rivalry
exists between these two teams and
as they are tied for first honors,
some nifty playing is anticipated.
Neither manager at a late hour last
night would say who he would send
to the firing line. The contest is
scheduled to start at $3.50 o'clock
When the Universal Motor com
pany and the Sample-Harts meet at
Fontenel1e park this afternoon at
$3.50 o'clock, fast contest is ex-
pected. The teams are evenly
matched. Teammates of former
years, will be seen in action against
each other. Manager Bill Shields
of the Universal lads feels confident
of a victory with Sohlm or Belford
on the mound as this pair of -hurlers
are considered the best in the Amer
lean league.

out of this group we longed to see pur-

Consider, for example, the period Of
the drawing for the corpse in the pic

the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Ingres was
under thirty when he made the study,
young man working on government
commission in the disciplinary atmos-
phere of the Villa Medicis. But not
all the external discipline in the world
could account for the power and dis

invested. The pure, austere line Is as
personal in quality as is one of Rem

severely accurate, and 1t is, in
the bargain, extraordinarily free and

The Usefulness of the
Academy in Rome

What a "steadying influence" can
do, what the artist can gain just from
the subjecton of his faculties to the
play Of an idea, to the pressure OF an
atmosphere, may be observed in an ex-
addition that is being held for few
days at the Century Club. 1t is access
sible to those who obtain cards from
members, but we wish it could have
more public character, that it could
be seen by more people, for a greater
lcngth of time. The exhibition is OF
paintings, sculptures and architectural
drawings and photographs represent
.nG recent work by alumni of the
American Academy in Rome 1t con-
tains a number Of admirable things,
works which 1t would be interesting in
ordinary circumstances TO discuss in
detail. But 1t Is the significance Of the
collection as a whole that especially
invites comment.
When Charles F. McKim realized the
dream Of life time and founded the
Roman Academy his purpose was not
clearly understood in every quarter.
There were those who doubted the
wisdom Of the experiment because
they thought it tended toward the sub
mergence of artistic talent in mere
formula. The man who went to Rome,
they argued, would come back crystal
lied, the victim of a classical style
out of harmony with modern times. As
matter Of fact, McKim, wanted none

he sought was the refinement of taste,
the promotion of a large and noble
IDEAL. An architect of high creative

that an alumnus of the academy should

be, for example, little Bramsnte.
