WNTANTED-An expert psychologi-
 WV cal interpreter. Apply imme- diatelv to Manager Molesworth, ball club training camp, Redwood park. The peneralissimo of the Barons wants to know what a young oall player is thinking about just before the battle.
 This is the most constructive season in the history of baseball. Owners of club franchises, with some exceptions in the major leagues, are having to build instead of buy their 1920 ma- terial
 Birmingham has had more likely training camp youngsters to throw a brainstorm when they came out of the trenches and into real hostilities than any other club in the Southern League.
 Col. "Quack" Smith told me the other day it was the strangest psychological phenomenon he had ever bucked-the production of an apparent thoroughbred ballplayer. who would carry himself through the training siege like battle-scarred veteran and then go to pieces the iliiuutC IuC Cihp WOuiu yell Tray ball" in an official game.
 And what is worse, when these birds come off the drill reservation. looking as fit as a Ty Cobb, Cicotte or Babe Ruth, and then crumple up and are relegated to some ultra bush league, the most of them never come back. They stay on the tobog- gan and finally scot out of baseball vision.
 Of course, this is a delicate tonic at this juncture with all these strange rockies in our midst Nevertheless lit is difficult to tell what the new material will produce. There ire youngsters who spend the winter keep fit in gymnasiums and playing winter ball and they report with a world of speed and promise, but when the real show is staged they wilt.
 John McGraw is one who does not minimize the problems that confront his, as well as divers other ball clubs this year.
 This year I think we will do con- siderable building" he said down at the Giants training camp in San An tonio. "I would sooner build them than buy-not because of the speod- ing of money-because there is so much satisfaction in the building of a team from the raw material. B1t

Little Rock, Ark, March D.-(Special) |-Although it still is more than three
 weeks before the race begins the Trav- eler team is beginning to appear out of
 the mass of young and old material that
 Kid Eberfeld has gathered at Kavanaugh
 field. The Kind has 23 men in camp
 and most of them have been here over
 two weeks already. Four or five are
 missing and may not appear at all
 However, he is just about ready to go
 with the material he has on hand. It now begins to appear certain that "Scrappy" Moore the former Atlanta player, will be at third base instead of Dee Walsh. Dee is holding out on the local club because he has notion that he can do better on the Pacific Coast Little Rock claimed Moore when Frank asked waivers on him and feels rather fortunate in grabbing the noisy young ster to fill the vacancy. Moore's home 1 is in Little Rock and he has been W orking with the club for two weeks. He threatens to make the local fans for get all about Walsh.
 l On the other side of the diamond Chief William Wano, a Choctaw from CRla- homa, has pitched his wigwam and prob ably will camp there all season. The chief is not a finished fielder. but oh, boy, how he whales that ball.
 George McGinnis, the tiny youngster who finished with the Travellers last year, is a sure thing at short. Little Mac played winter ball on the coast all season and arrived here in the famous pink of condition. He has been show ing to great advantage in the practice sessions.
 The Kid has not settled on his second baseman. Gus Getz, the former Brooklyn player, was bought from Toledo during the winter to play the position, but Walsh he wants to pick his own league.
 He has expressed a strong preference for the International and so far has taken no interest in the Southern. If Getz does not report it looks like George Dis | tel will get the second base job again.

American visitors are usually the big

Chinese Use Stones

and Send Then, Back
Boston Monument Builder
Can't Recall Any Oriental
Burial at Public Expense.

BOSTON, Dec. A Boston builder Of
monuments who for many years has been
favored almost exclusively with the
tombstone work Of the New England
Chinese, has observed two striking things
about John Chinaman in Boston
The first" Harry p Smith said. lis
that in all our experience we have never
known of a Chlnaman to die in such
circumstances that the city was called on
to pay his burial expenses.
And the second is, that Chinese deaths
invariably occur in the winter. During
the summer months we have seldom, If
ever, been called on to produce a tomb
stone for one of them"
Another singular fact connected with
Chinese funerals in America is that ten
years after the funeral the casket ia dis
inferred and the body shipped to China.
Every Chinaman finally is buried in the
land OF his ancestors
Usually" says Mr.. Smith, 1.-THE tomb
stone comes back to US after this disin-
terment"
One OF the most interesting sights in
Greater Boston is the Chinese section of
Mt. Hope Cemetery, in the Mattapan dis
trict of Dorchester. Here the bodies of
more than 500 Chinese from all parts of
New England have been temporarily lela
at rest.

Instead Of contributing funds to promote
