there is Buds < .theriand, Ty Cobb's rookie pitel-er, who is mak- ing good with the Tigers on his first big league trial. Sutherland has been on flinging staffs of the minor leagues for years, but he could never convince a manager Chat he was of major league calibre until he put his argument before Ty Cob Ty listened, and as result Studs Is a winning pitch- CT with the Detroiters. Yet, the pity of 1t all is that ne didn't get a chance in the big show until he was 80 years of age. At best he can't hope for over four or five years in the majors.

 The pioneers of baseball are pass ing on. These who pitched 'em and caught 'em when catchers were ignorant of mitts and hurlers threw 'em straight and easy are thinning out at a rapid rate. In the past week three old timers have gone to their reward. Edgar (Ted) Hart, former secretary of the Cubs, Charlie T. Page, who eQtered base ball with the late A. c. Spaldir.g. and Henry S. Warner, who played short when Spalding was pitching for the Forest City team, were counted out by Father Time.

NEW FIGHTER MATTRESSES

NEW lGI Ell lSAI lsGscoIIN' As the date for the Burlington Kelly ring row draws near, news is emanating from the Athletic club of new Richmond In the boxing field. The new man Is Jack Allen, and he halls from the Pacific coast. Jack claims to have met such pugs as Joe Rivers, Joe Man. dot, Leach Cross and several others who were topnotchers in their prime He weighs close to the 140- mark, and those who have seen him work out state that he should be star locally.
 Jack has been in town for month or so, but only the past week did he start to limbering up in the B. A. c. gym. Heretofore he has worked out at Hanlon's boxing schcoor gym at the boys club. When queried Eddie about Allen. he replied that Allen had been doing considerable fisticuffing down at his place, but that he failed to create comment until he began his mauling process at the B. A. c.
 WORKS WITH DUMMY
 It would seem that the forces of Tommy Tompkins have been seek ing to put one over on the Hanlon camp by the acquisition of Allen. The latter has been doing all his sparrin with Eddie until the past week. He knows Hanlon's style of fighting and Eddie's pet blows. Tommy thought it would be(a great thing to have Allen get in the ring with Dummy and go through Han Ions style of punch putting in or der that Dummy could become thoroughly familiar with same. As a consequence Allen was enticed to the Harrington camp, and /he and Dummy have been mixing 1t for several afternoons now. Eddie. however, don't seem to worry about all this scheming. He still insists that it was a chance blow that Harrington landed on him in their initial fight several weeks ago. MEMPHIS CHICKS WEAK SPOT
 About the only chance the other seven clubs have of stopping the high-flying Chicks Is to swap off all their right handlers for south paw artists and southpaw the Chicks to death. Weakness against fork-handed pitching Is the only tender spot the Abbotters have shown this season. They can't seem to get the hang of things when the hurler lets 'em go from the first Base side of the field Johnny Suggs, the Crackers southpaw, beat 'em. Lefty Sigman also had their number, and Rube Robinson has managed to keep down their hit records.
 
 GETS LATE START
 Fate seems to kic-- some ball players around on the shins throughout their careers, while on favorite sons she laughs herself silly. Take Stevei and Joe Sewell of the Cleveland club for instance. They hoped from college to a job in the majors and have many, many years of service in the big tops before them.

UnschooIed Woman Sculptor of Bolivar

a GOOD part of official Washing
"A ton journeyed to New York with
President Harding on the occasion of
the dedication Of the statue Of Gen.
Simon Bolivar, The statue stands in
Central park and is the gift of the
City Of Caracas, capital of Venezuela
and birthplace Of the great South
American liberator.
There's more to this story than the
mere dedication Of a statue. Bolivar
HILL" in Central park, has been for
30 years the center of a drama which
has the elements of human interest.
In 1883 the first statue Of Bolivar was
unveiled. 1t was the gift Of the Ven
ezuelan government to New York city.
The sculptor was De la Cova,
South American. Then President
Crespo of Venezuela decided that it
was not fitting that the great Bolivar
should prance in so undignifed a pos
ture. He therefore commissioned Clio
vanni Turini to prepare another model.
Turini was an Italian. It is his statue
OF Garibaldi that Is on the pedestal in
Washington square, Turinl's Boil
var was modelled after statue at
Caracas, a pOmpous figure seated
stifily on a conventional Roman horse.
The Society Of National Sculpture dis
approved Of this statue. Although

FOUR CLUBS GROUPED
IN NATIONAL LEAGUE
New York Giants Look to Be the
Strongest Team in Race.
Pirates Picked to Run Second Because
Of Superior FieIdlno-st. Louis
Cardinals Expected to Fur
nlsh Big Upset.

Four clubs are grouped as pennant
eontenders in the National league,
writes Dean Snyder in Chicago Post.
The New York Giants, with the best
infield they've had In years, an out
field possibly stronger than last sea-
son, and a better pitching staff, leads
the four-team pack. They're a har-
mony club. They've got a punch.
Pittsburgh looks a close second.
They're the best fielding club. But
they finished last in stick work in
1920. Gibson turned over three of his
best batters for Maranville-a 266
hitter.
Brooklyn is questionable. They've
had a poor break in spring training.
Also had five holdouts. Yet Uncle
Robbie has the best of 1t in pitching
when they're going. The club is rated
third this year.
A surprise may come from the St.
Louis Cardinals. They'll worry the
leaders every time they meet. They
can hit. Stock is needed badly in case
Torporcer falters. The pitching is
problematical. Fourth place.
Cincinnati, Chicago and Boston make
the second group.
The Reds, with Roush and GrOh
back, should lead the procession. Pat
Moran has cracked the whip this
spring. Kopf will be missed at short
Bohne is not Heine Groh, but he's
mn asset. They're a good bah club
The Chicago Cubs are placed sixth
They're a second division fielding
and hitting club Alexander is the
ace pitcher. Vaughn is a good pitch
er until his support kicks out. Tyler
is a question mark. Recruits may
help. There is a hole at first.
Boston is an experiment. The cluI
is stacked with youngsters. It may
prove a surprise.
Bill Donovan is conceded the sam,
stall the PhiIlies cinched last year
The infield is weak at first, sec
ond and third. If Donovan climbs

cautiously toward the car. All about

Suddenly the machine headlights
blazed. The feminine shrieks re-
doubled. Then the car shot forward
and tore down Sheridan road, with
the fiv hot in pursuit.
A few moments later pedestrians in
Davis street, Evanston, lodged into
nearby stores when both machines
came furiously charging into Foun-
tain square. The mysterious car halt
ed abruptly beside the fountain and
the fliv squad members, leaping out,
covered the driver with their artillery.
'Who are your" they demanded

driver of the black car. "Im Jack

Forsman was arrested and

Feeling was aroused which
for time seemed to threaten a
