Sport Comment
IN All Fields

Harry Heilmann, leading batter of
the American League. is a bad-bal1
hitter.
He goes after them on the inside.
on ,the outside, high, low.
But he nails enough of them to
make him the best hitter in either
major league circuit by several
points above 400.
It il estimated Heilmann could
have drawn at least so bases on
balls if he were not SO eager to step
into a ball and drive It out.
But Heilmann doesn't wait 'em
out. He bangs away at them. He
has found that 1t pays. Most bad
balls are cripples-easy to hit.
Question: Are many batters max
ing a mistake by being too critical
in looking balls over as they float
platewards?
Heilmann's record shoes they are.
MOlla
Molla Bjurstedt Mallory Yields
the strongest racket of any woman
in the world. d.
In one week she played her way
through the national woman's sin
giles with a power that it was i'm
possible to stop.
She broke Suzanne L%englen's
heart in a single set-like a whirl-
wind crushing a helpless butterfly.
And she called on all her reserve
power to defeat Miss Mary K. Brown
in the deciding match that made her
Americas queen of the courts.
Molla has, held the national title
six times.
John
John McGraw finds himself with
in a step of the National League PEN
nant without a fighting ball club.
In the old days Of Fletcher, Mer-
kle. Herzog, Snodgrass. Doyle-all
fighters who needed no goading from
the sidelines-McGraw got on the
sidelines and goaded.
This year. with a team that mere
ly plays Neutrality-suspicious.
sits in the dugout and looks on as
his paid assistant coaches lead in
the cheering.
But McGraw is getting no place
fast.
The Pirates are widening the
breach that may grow wider between
now and October because the Giants
aren't a fighting ball club.
Bill
Bill Tilden will have the bat
tie Of his life to hold his national
tennis honors the second week OF
September, against William john
ston.
These two boys have played
against each other, with each other.
and have watched each other many,
many times.
Each knows the others strongest
points. also the weak spots.
Tilden has gone stale. Johnston
is showing a rare streak of bril-
lance.
The Californian is an even money
bet to pull the great tired Tilden off
his throne just as Molla Mallory
crushed the sick Suzanne Lenglen.
Jim
Jim Barnes says that it has TAX
en- him 20 years to find out and cor
rect his faults on the golf links.
He has been through one of the
longest gauntlet trials to finally ar
rive at the top that any athlete ever
underwent.
Twenty years is a long time. That
is a third of the ordinary mans life.
II he had quit trying ten years
ago and said to himself, II guess 1
wasn't born to be a champion" he
never would have been.
So don't be discouraged. Think OF
Jim. The first twenty years are the
hardest.

iris Speaker is making the fight
Of his life this season.
He is even shouldering a greater
burden than he did a year ago when
he won a pennant and a world SER
les for Cleveland.
In 1920 he had a staff OF pitchers
he could depend upon. The Indians
were consistent sluggers who could
name the inning and go out and win
a ball game with their bats.
This season Iris has kept the team
out as a pace-setter with a pitching
staff that sputters and backfres. The
Indians have hit a batting slump
that they can't shake off.
Should Iris win this year he Is
entitled to be called a miricle man
for he will have turned water into
wine.

Maine Woman Has

Boston, Dec. PA middle-a aged
Maine woman, whose name the city

confined to a local hospital with
typhus fever, the department an
nounced last night.
"Inasmuch as the nature Of her
maiady was suspected at the time of
her admission and adequate precau-
tons taken against spread of the
disease" II h Commissioner
Woodward said, there is no reason
to believe that other cases will de-
velop.
THE patient left her home In
Maine, October %, travelling. by wa
ter and rail to Jacksonville, Fla.
Returning homeward, she was
taken i'll at Wilmington, Del, and
continued later on to Boston. She
voluntarily entered the hospital"

ers, but that they would not go back
ON the association.
THE question of the farmers erect
I Jig. their own corn canning shops
was freely discussed and according
Ito reports in several localities the
farmers are getting information and
prices for the necessary machinery
and making plans as rapidly as pos
sible to can their own corn, if it is
found impossible to get an agree
ment
The history Of the Franklin Pro-
ducts Co, composed Of farmers in
the vicinity of Pennington was read
and listened to with much interest.
1t was brought out that. in the
past one of the difficulties with the
farm cooperative canneries has been
! the marketing of their products.
This will be easily taken care of in
the future through the state organi-
cation, which can act as a selling
accnt and represent the different
plants.
Tho question of a sufficient guam
tity Of corn to supply the needs Of
th2 iobbers has been one of the
stumbling blocks, but with the sew
or2l factories represented through
tho state association, this difficulty
will be eliminated.
The opinion Of the Kennebec asso-
citation was that the growers would
not stand for further reduction in
price and the expression was that the
State association should endeavor to
Get conference with the packers as
carly as possible after the associa-
tons annual meeting. but if found
impossible, to get such a conference
or make satisfactory arrangements
with the packers, the plans for CO.
operative factories would be taken
up at once.
Charles III. Crawford OF Dexter,
secretary of the State association,
was present and reported on the sit
uation through the State as reported
to him by the revcral locals officers.

Artist West to
Get Credit in
His Home Land

I New York. Dec. 2l-Benjamin
West, obscure pioneer in American
art. though be. later became painter
to the King Of England, at last has
come into his own in his native land.
For the first time in the century
and more since he was laid to rest
in st. Paul's Cathedral, London.
alongside Barry. Reynolds and Van
Dyke, comprehensive public exhibit
of Vests work is being held in Phil
adelphia near the place Of his birth,
by the Philadelphia Art Alliance.
| The exhibit comprises twenty
eight selections. paintings and draw
ings and. according to Albert Rosen-
thai, secretary of the committee in
charge, presents a fun view of Vests
power and versatility.
From painting portraits in Phila
delphia for mere subsistence, to be-
come the painter to the King OF Eng
land, standing with Reynolds and
Lawrence in his profession, one of
the founders of the Royal Academy
and its second president succeeding
Reynolds, seems bit Of romance
rather than statement. of fact" Mr..
Rosenthal said. But such are the
facts"
West was. born in the Quaker COM
munity of Springfield, now Swarth-
more, Pa, October 10, 1913.
He began his career as an artist at
seven, with a pencil drawing of his
sisters baby, inspired when he saw
the infant smile in its sleep. At Is
he set up in Philadelphia as a por-
trait painter moving on two, years
later to New York and again, two
years later, to Italy, where he worked
for three years.
Next he invaded London, with a Sc
ries of historic and religious paint
ings appearing as one of the leaders
CT the revolt against the current i'm
itation of classic art. King George
III quickly became interested in West
and took him under his special pa
tronage, appointing him in 1772 his
toric painter to the King.
He was one of four artists who pre-
scented to King George the plan for
Royal Academy; was one of its
founders and, at the death of Sir
Joshua Reynolds, became its second
president.
When he died, in March, 1920. he
was given sepulture in ST Paul's as
an academician. The PAIL" says a
contemporary historian, was borne
by noblemen, ambassadors and acad-
emicians, and sixty coaches brought
up the splendid procession"
The onward sweep of art soon re-
legated his works to the background,
ranking them as formal, tame and
wanting that freedom of nature and
that life which genius alone can
breathe on the. canvas.
But the recently developed interest
In early American art increased the
attention given his work and Amer
lean artists and collectors at least,
are coming more and more to the
| conviction that contemporary judg-
| ment which ranked him with the old
masters, was justified.
| His better known historical and re-
! ligious paintings include THE Death
/, of Wolfe," Christ Healing the Sick"
':Peter Rejecting His Master" and
| death of the Pale Horse"
| The Art Alliance exhibition will
| continue until January 2.

Gen. Wood Putting
Philippine Islands
On Business Basis

Manila, p. l., Nov 1S--(By MaiD-
Governor General Wood has an
nounced that he already has begun
work on plans to consolidate certain
government activities on an econom-
ical basis, in order to obtain sufficient
funds for the care of l2pors and the
insane, and for education, public
works and public. welfare work in
general.
This does not mean, however"
said the governor general. that the
services Of certain officials or en-
ployes will have to be dispensed with
in the government. We want all the
officials we need, but we do not want
the unnecessary ones"
One of the first steps taken toward
pruning down the expenses of the
government is the announcement Of
the merging Of the mint bureau with
the insular treasury, the mint be-
coming simply a division of the
treasury instead of a separate bureau.
