HIGGINS ANGLING FOR
FASTER OUTFIEL DERS
Babe Ruth Will Not Be Member
of Pitching Staff.
Yankee Manager Realizes That Speed
Must Be Added to Team If 1t Is
to Be SuccessfuI-Pratt Is
Uncertain Quantity.

If Miller Higgins has his way the
Yankees of 1921 will be a more fleet
footed aggregation than they were last
season and in previous campaigns.
The little manager realizes that speed
must be added to the team if 1t is to
be successful next year, and it looks
as though a few of the slow-moving
members of the team will be among
the missing next spring. In their place
Higgins hopes to have men who are
fleet of foot.
In discussing the future of the YAM
KEGS Manager Higgins said:
II am going to make efforts to OBJ
tain two new outfielders who have in
their makeup ability to cover LOT of
territory in the outer works and who
will also show speed on the base paths.
am also going to try to improve the
pitching staff. / am looking for one
more pitcher, not necessarily a left
handler. No, Ruth will not be a MEM
Der of the pitching staff next season.
1t is my present intention to retain
him in the outfield. If between now

1t creates in the Department of the
Interior bureau of veteran re-estab-

all the functions of the war risk insur-
ance bureau, which now handles so
per cent of the soldier relief work !;
the rehabilitation work Of the federal
board for vocational education, and
such functions of the public health
service as are connected with physi-
cal examinations OF soldiers.
The director of the bureau would
receive $4,000 year. He would have
full power to conduct all government
functions having to do with soldier
welfare and to promote greater eff

Forward the case to Washington for
review should doubt arise as to the
wisdom of the original action.
The crux IF the whole plan, accord
ing to Mr.. Rogers, is that one man,
the director, would be supremely re-
sponsible for all soldiers relief.
"The day of passing the buck would
end" he declared.

HONOR FOR CANADA
Wins Championships at lnterna-
tionaI Live Stock Show.
Splendid Exhibits, Both Of Animals
and Grain, Won Admiration of
Judges and Spectators.

One of the most interesting sights
at the International Live Stock show
at Chicago was the evening parades
Of horses and cattle. AS the Cana
dian section of these parades came in
to view, and as it passed around the
ring, there was continued applause
There were two or three reasons for
this, the principal one being that in
this section there were the wonderful
Clydesdales, the Belgians and the Per-
cherons that had carried off champion
ships and first prizes. The province
Of Saskatchewan had a splendid dis
play Of Clydesdales and showed in
number of classes, and in every class
they got in the money. A remarkable
and noted winning was that of the
University of Saskatchewan, showing
''Lady Bruce" female Clydesdale, in
class of "a and taking second. In
competition there were entries from
such famous studs as C0nyngham Bros
Of Wilkesbarre, p. l.. James Of Eastcn,
Mass, and George Chiett of the same
state. She was beaten by an imported
mare, but was later made champion
American-bred mare and reserve
grand champion, an honor never before
conferred upon anything but an i'm
ported animal.
The following are some Of the good
things that Canada won at the Inter-
national, in fair fight and no favors.
Grand championship for Clydesdale
stations; championship for American
bred ClyGesdale mares; reserve senior
and reserve grand championships for
Clydesdale mares; grand champion
ship for Southdown sheep; sweepstakes
grand championship for wheat for the
continent Of America; championship
for Durum wheat for America.
Another of the reasons for the APP
plause given the Canadian sections OF
the parade was the heartiness with
which the American spirit was imbued
that impelled it to greet with the full
est appreciation the efforts of the win
ner, and the hundreds Of Canadians in
the immense audience of the amphi-
theater appreciated it.
The purpose that Canada had In
making exhibits from their farms,
whether it was Of live stock-and they
had it there in all branches-grains,
grasses or roots, was to demonstrate
that the war had not created devasta-
ton, that the country was alive with
interest in the matter Of production
and that it had ability to produce in a
manner that would bring it champion
ships, and what better place than the
international, where it would be placed
before thousands, many Of whom, with
the enlightenment thus gained and
with desire to better their condition,
would be made to realize that in the
neighboring country to the north there
was an opportunity that it might be
OF advantage to them to embrace

National Parks and Water Power Act

Apparently the national park service
was asleep at the switch, for the new
water power act permits the filing OF
applications for power sites in the ma
tional parks. The power commission
consists of the secretaries of war, In
terror and agriculture. Secretary
Payne protested to the President, hold
ing that the granting of a national
park power permit should be only by
act of congress. Then came the pledge
by Senator Jones.
The official statement of the ma
tional park policy is "That the ma
tional parks must be maintained in
absolutely unimpaired form for the
use of future generations as well as
those of your own time" The organic
act creating the national park service
specifies that the purpose OF the ma
tional parks Is ITO conserve the seen
ery and the natural and historic OBJ
jects and the wild life therein"
Applications for permits, however,
have already been filed in Grand Ca
non, Yosemite and Sequoia.
Friends of the national parks have
already begun the bombardment OF
congress, the women being especially
active. A glance at the list of memo
rlais, petitions. etc., shows protest
from women's organizations from
Rhode Island to California.

PLANE DROPS BALL

A'novel kickoff was witnessed
at an international football
match which took place IN VI
emma recently between Austria
and Hungary.
Both teams were lined up,
ready for the start, but 1t was
noticed they had no ball. AN
airplane, however, suddenly sp-
peared on the horizon, lowered
over the playing field for a short
time, and then, to the huge de-
light of some $4,000 onlookers,
slowly glided down until 1t was
so feet above the center. Then
the pilot dropped football, and
as soon as the ball touched the
ground the referees whistle
sounded and the match was on.
Having got rid of its bomb,
the airplane mounted again and
made off amid the cheers and
laughter Of the crowd.

! GRASS AIDS SPOKE

Many ballplayers chew tobac-

they are subject to nervous and
mental strain, but Iris Speaker,
the great leader of the Cleveland
Indians, does not.
Spoke uses a substitute for to-
bacco that gets the same results
or perhaps better. Grass is
what he made cuds of while
thinking out the knotty .problems
that won Cleveland's first pen
nant and worlds title.
