B Record Price Paid For Blue Boy.

= A noted firm of American art deal
ers and collectors have just purchased
from the Duke of Westminster the
famous Gainsborough masterpiece, the
"Blue Boy" for acknowledgements
mately $500, ,,O00-a record price for
an English painting. All of England
is lamenting the taxation system that
compelled the Duke, conceded to be
England's richest peer, to part with
such an art treasure but consolation
is derived from the fact that it is
the generous want of American art
collectors to leave their spoils of
European art treasure to public gal
leries. With the "Blue Boy" there
was also purchased from the Duke of
Westminster the famous Reynolds
painting of "Mrs. Siddens as The
Tragic Nurse" for 100000, making
q total of 100000 for the two, or
close to S1,00O,000.

How Calico Got Its Name.

Calicut, the centre of the Indian
riots in Malabar, gave a new word
to the English language by the cotton
stuffs originally exported from that
town known as "calico." The first
heavy importations of calico into Eng
land two centuries ago met with the
opposition of the Spitalfelds weavers
and they assaulted anyone they saw
wearing the new material. An Act
of Parliament was passed fning any
one who used calico $1,000. When
an English cotton cloth was made
similar to the Indian cloth it was
called calico. Calicut is now one of
the centres of Indian teak and sandal
wood trade.

A Crooked Town.

There was crooked fair held in a
crooked town.
And in a crooked night when all was
dark around
They slipped into our booth, and on a
crooked pad
They wrote down list of every thing
we had
And got it for their booth to win a
crooked prize
And this is how they did it, and no
one felt surprised
That's what became of Hemingway
and what became of Rome
Because of crooked treatment I think
they stay at home.
And what became of Graham? 1t
was a crooked cheat
The way they got him out because he
had them beat.
And there was a crooked man that
rode a crooked horse.
He won a crooked ribbon that was a
crooked farce.
And we We're nauseated by all that we
found
So we left them still sitting in their
little crooked town.

The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-09-02
BY FRANK G. MENKE
ok Dunn's dream is over.

And, with the awakening, the king
pin minor league manager is now re-
ported ready to proceed with the
wrecking of the greatest minor league
ball club ever welded together.
Dunn nursed the idea for many years
that Baltimore, someway, somehow,
could be made g part of one of the
big leagues. So he refused to sell
the star ball players which he develop
ed. AS a result his Orioles, through
three seasons have outclassed all OF
position in the International league
They have become so powerful that
the chances are they could put up a
winning battle against most of the ma
jor league clubs of the present day.
Finds Chances Are Nil.
But some months ago Dunn learned
that there was absolutely no chance
for Baltimore to get franchise in
either the American or the National
league; that the Maryland metropolis
is doomed to minor league obscurity.
And so he decided TO sell his stars.
With the flashing of this news
around the country, mad scramble
has ensued among the big leaguers for
the outstanding trio-Bertley, Ogden
and Lawry. 1t is likely that the three,
sold together, will net Dunn at least
S150,000 for Bentley alone is valued at
around $4,000.
Jack Bentley. southpaw twirler and

Baltimore as pitcher and a batter
superior 10 Babe Ruth when the latter
was serving his novitiate in the big
southern town. A big, powerful fellow,
he seems tireless as a worker. When
he isn't pitching he is first-basing-
and his home-run record is greater
than Ruth ever compiled in the mi
norS.

Jack Ogden first jumped into fame
when he won Is straight games while

he got a chance with the Giants, was

snshtly lesser magnitude, establishes
MIN supreme in his line The Bait
more magnate has brought to the fore
more stars than any minor league
leader since base ball began. And
Dunn has been shrewd enough to Sc
cure top prices for every bit of talent
ne moved along INTO the big leagues.
Dunn took Ruth out of school and
picked Ernie Shore off the lots. In a
few years he developed them to great
ness. Seven years ago he sold them
for S3O,000-a big price in those days
TO the Red Sox.
He secured about $35, goo from the
Yankees for Chick Fewster. Horb
Thormahlen and Lefty" Russell. He
got $4,000 from the Cubs for Barber,
an outfielder, and has made other
sales into the big leagues which have
Melted him far over 100000 in seven
years
Dunn probably has been offered a
big league managership oftener thar
any man identified with the game; but
he has always turned them down and
fingered in Baltimore. That's because
he can make, through the operation OF
his club and the development and sale
OF his youngsters, about four times AS
much yearly as he can through the
leadership of any big league outfit
and with less trouble
