That Frank Brewer Is considered an

Mcbride sent him in to run for Cap-

Tilly Walkers first exhibition o:

AS an indication of "Bucky's" base
running. 1t is well to note that he
has yet to be thrown out. In other
words, trying six times. he vas Sue
rceded six times, giving him a per-
centage of 1000.
Furthermore, that his running has
been all 1t Is cracked up to be, he
has stolen bases on two of the best
throwing catchers in the American
League, Muddy" Ruel, OF the Red
Sox. and Ralph Perkins, Of the Phil
idelphia Athletics. 1t takes real
ability to do that.
Harris Is in great condition this
spring and, unless injured, he is go

knack of getting away" while his
natural speed does the rest OF Ii un-

SHOULD PILE ,EM UP.
Harris should pile up a flock of
stolen bases this spring, IL his pres
cnt speed means anything more than
mere flash. In 1877 games in 1920
the Washington secondsacker stole
just exactly sixteen bases. This
year In six ball games he has stolen
six bases II he could maintaine
this speed and play but 1877 games,
lie would break all records by steal
ing 1877 bases.
However. nobody expects Harris to

The close OF the. year, nor even for
j37 games. Nevertheless, he has al
ready stolen one-third as many bases
in six games as he did in 1877 last
year. You may write your own
ticket as to his possibilities

Col. House ON European War

Cabling from London in the
Philadelphia Ledger, Col. +.
M. House says:
TO one who lived in the south
after the Civil war, those late
enemy and defeated countries
do not seem to have suffered in
like proportion. AT least the
scars are not so visible. While
the loss of life and the number
of manned was incomparably
greater in this war. the financial
wreckage was not more COM
plete and the recovery will not
take so long.
Europe can and win resume
orderly life. Even Russia is
indicating some reaction. The
convalescence of Europe has
begun but how soon complete
recovery comes will depend upon
the wisdom and liberation of
the leaders, and the willingness
of the people to adjust them
selves to the new conditions
which four years of bloody and
destructive war have brought
about"
The manufacturers Record has
said exactly these things many
times and we are glad Col.
House now so strongly confirms
them. The losses 10 Europe in
men, money and REORGANIZATION
of labor were not so great

1t has been said that truth is

That this saying is true there
no longer remains doubt.

beings, to deliberately plan to
destroy the prosperity of .
nation. Yet we have for some
time had more than a suspicion
that the present depressed inan-
cial condition was deliberate "
planned and ruthlessly executed,
but we never expected to hear 3

Here is how it came about:

Chicago, and Walter Lichten-

course of his remarks he is
quoted as saying "Nofrace has

and any race which has been
able to evade the necessity If

in a comparatively short time,

told his hearers that capital
should be content with a normal
return, and that the worker
must again return to earth
and be satisfied with a normal
return also, a wage that will
enable him to live somewhat as
he did before the war.
