80 steals per game. That makes a
difference.
You say the Grifs would miss
Gharrity's hitting? Yes, probably
they would, and yet the Beloit boy
was outhit last year by this same Val
Picinich, who seems to have the
shade on him every way. Charity
hit for Ell, which Is fair hitting,
but Picinich nosed him out with an
average of PA. Walter Mayors .226
won't patch up the offensive strength
of the team much.
The way we figure out the situa.
ton, the Griffmen, even with Char
rity in line, would still lack the
pennant-winnins catcher. With May
err supplanting Charity the catching
stan Ia bit weaker than 1t was in
1919, but not Overwhelmingly so.
Hard Work May Hurt.
There is one distinct difference be
tween Picinich and Charity. 1t is
doubtful If the former can stand hard
work as we'll as Charity. The lat
ter is blessed with a remarkably
strong physique. Tho banging and
the battering in there at the plate
every day doesn't take as much out
of him as it does with Picinich.
Walter Mayer sat on the White Sox
bench a long time, merely because II
was impossible to crowd Ray Schalk
out Of the lineup. However good
he might have been when he Joined
the Chicago club, he.-could not i'm
prove or even hold his own with
bench duty and nothing more. Then
he went to Boston and found Wally
ichang hogging the limelight. In
st. Louis, Hank SEVERED did the same
thing.
With the Grirmen Mayer may run
into more work, IL he remains here
simply because of Picinich's lack OF
strength. Frequent work may make
him better catcher than his record
OF 1919 indicates. But he'll have 10
travel a long road to become half as
good as Steve O'Neill or Ray SchaIk
The answer. Mr.. Fan? Yes. we'd miss
f. Charity, especially at the start
for he is good spring hitter. But
let Grin find another good catcher
and Charity will be forgotten. Sc
long as Grin Is out to build UP his
team into a contender, let him for
get Charity and look for another
Ray Schalk or steve O'Neill.

Here's A Typical Case
For You.

Here Is one they are telling
in baseball circles about Orc
vile Bill James:
James was a member of the
Braves in 1914. He hung the
club up for a big salary in 1915,
but was afflicted with a sore
arm and didn't pitch an inning.
In midsummer Manager Stall
ings decided James would not
improve and advised Gaffney to
send the pitcher back to his
home in California, with in
structions to give his arm rest
until 1915.
So Gaffney paid James in full
for the season of 1915 and pre-
sented him with railroad and
Pullman accommodations for
himself and wife from Boston
to San Francisco. A few days
later he received a wire which
read:
Train six hours late arriv-
ing Frisco. You owe me 81 for
extra meals"

Thousands Lining Streets

Dayton, O.-The Democratic presi-
Dental standard, with the League OF
Nations its peak escutcheon, was
marched into the 1920 campaign by
Governor James M. Cox.
A throng of cheering Democrats,
estimated at variously between 10000
and $4,000, witnessed Governor Cox's
acceptance of the party leadership in
the Presidential contest, following for
NAL notification by Senator Robinson
of Arkansas, chairman at the San
Francisco convention, of it's choice.
To the ceremonies at the Montgom-
cry county fair grounds, Governor
Cox, with Franklin D. Roosevelt, his
running-mate, at his side, marched for
a mile in a broiling sun at the head
of a parade of Democratic delegations
reviewed at the ground. Their pres
ence was an eleventh hour thought Of
the governors, who had planned mere
ly to review the Democratic hosts who
came in thousands from Ohio and also
other states. The parade line alone,
sprinkled with two score Of bands, was
estimated to contain close to 10000
marchers.
For two hours the governor in his
address Of acceptance kept the vast
throng cheering as he gave with en-
phasis and clarity campaign policies.
He made the league his paramount
declaration, declaring he stood for
American and world peace by it's
adoption with interpretations" pre-
serving it's vital plan. He declared
the league was part of the Demo
cratic Offering of progress as against
Republican reaction. His advocacy
of the league drew lengthy demonstra-
tions from his audience and state
ments of approval from party leaders
gathered here for the Democratic cere-
monial.
The parade was the days spectacu-
lar event In the trail of the Demo
cratic leaders the thousands of cheer
ing Democrats marcehd down the
dusty race track past the speakers

and flags waving and bearing hun
dreds Of cards paying tribute to their
candidates and predicting their vic
tory in November.

nor's collar was wilted and he evident
ly was somewhat tired, but he turned
happily to meet bands of congratulate

valuable asset.
"a camping site may be selected
either within or without the city linn
it's. Once established, attractive signs
along the leading highways can be used
to direct tourists to it,"
''The first essential in selecting the
camp site is protection from the sun

on local conditions. Some communl-
ties furnish a limited amount OF wood
for camp fires. Carefakers or watch
men are sometimes needed. Fresh wa

WORLD ANARCHIST TAKEN
Arrest In Chicago Termed Most I'M

Chicago-Alexander Jaunuiksa, said
to be an international anarchist sought
by the Allied governments for five

system of communication between
radicals in this country and abroad.
Jannuiska, according TO the police,
was the inventor Of code used by
10000 radicals in this country and
abroad. This code, it was said, made
it possible for one to write an appar-
emily personal letter which, when de-
coded, contained secret instructions
and anarchistic teachings. Police say
the arrest is the most important since
