| The probable second sackers in the
big series do not offer quite SO much
! to rave about. While there isn't a
| feeble sister among the candidates,
still there isn't a player who stands
out like Johnny Evers or Eddie
Collins of the old days.
Ward Of tho New York Americans
appears to have a slight edge on
! the form shown this season. There
| are times when Ward has a lapse
in play and looks ordinary, but those
times are. the exception to the rule.
When he is at the top of his game
he is a good ball player. Ward covers
much ground, has a good arm, and
can hit.

An injury just before the opening
of the season put Wamby out for
some time. Speaker called on Stephen
son, the southern collegian. who came

| University pf Alabama. Cleveland
intended to use him only until Wamby
was able to get back. The big fellow
hit SO we'll and felded SO acceptably
that Speaker was forced to keep him
| in the game long after Wamby was
| ready to start. Only when Stephen
son began to wabble in the field did
Wamby get back. He has made most

good ball that Stephenson remains on

packs batting average considerably

American School in
 Shanghai Is Assured
RxAsnoclatnd Prens


 Shanghai, November 1s.-(By aMll. .)-Plans for the first units of an American school that is to be built at Shanghai are In the hands of architects and building work is to be started on site that has been acquired in coming months. This has been made possible as the result of a campaign for funds that was made in the International Settlement in october and by which approximately Taels 150.000 were raised.
 What has been known as the American school of Shanghai Is an institution that was started some ten years ago by several mission ary families. In the period that 1t has been in operation this school has kept pace with the swift growth of the American community in Shanghai and in recent years has been inadequately housed in a group of dwellings. In the school year that recently begun the enrolment touched the record mark of 235 pu- pills The new school will be the outcome of the efforts of public spirited American residents and 1t is to be governed by a board of trus- tees representing both missionary and commercial interests.

The only thing they did was to slow their motor car along the Broadway curb, where three young women were walking and in- vTte the ladies for ride. And when the ladies appeared diffident the only other thing the youths did was to jump out of the car, take the ladies by the arm, and repeat the invitation a trifle more insistently. Why should anyone resent kindly act like this, performed by five enterprising young men toward perfect strangers. just for the sake of "jeu de vivre," or is 1t esprit de corps?" Of course the youths had not noticed the husbands of the young women who had been walking a little distance in the rear. Life is like that.

 There was the case of Michael Quin- Ian, too-of Michael and the pink striped pajamas. Mrs. Quinlan in- formed the police that her husband had struck her with lampshade and she was annoyed to the extent of wanting something done about It. When the patroln1an entered the Quinlan home for the purpose of com- plying with the Iady's request, he stopped dazedly on the threshold, with the half formed impression that the lamp had exploded and conflag- ration was on. Then he saw that It was merely Michaefs pajamas, pink striped, as has been said. Michael liked those pajamas. Indeed, he de- clined to change them. So In pink striped raiment Michael marched away to a cell, which at once became the brightest spot the gray old po- lice station has seen for many a moon.

 New York, December 17.-Perhaps the peace on earth phase of Christmas has reached this town. But the good will to men idea is conspicuously lacking, if one may judge by the po- lice records of the past seven days.
 Actually, you can be put in jail for being in love. It happened to Harry Anderson. For two years Harry has been enamored of Miss Bessie Git nix, a stenographer. Bessie couldn't see it, so Harry adopted a silent courtship" plan. He didn't talk to her. but he walked with her Almost ev- cry time Bessie went out in the past 24 months, there was faithful Harry trailing behind her. When Bessie got good and tired of this, she told policeman about it. Both the police man and magistrate said they did not think Anderson was an ordinary "masher" and they felt sorry for him. But Bessie intimated that she had stopped feeling sorry over year ago, so Anderson and his lacerated feelings were remanded to the Tombs.
 It Is dangerous. too, to go a-mar- rying without a wedding ring. You can get arrested for that, also. Ed ward Stafford of the Bronx was an impetuous suitor, his courtship gain ing in ardor, according to his fiancee, until 1t eliminated in threats to shoot the young lady of his choice unless she immediately became his bride. Thus urged, Miss Anna Arctander shyly consented and the happy pair went to the marriage license bureau for the preliminary bout. Here, how ever it came to Miss Arctanders attention that her bethrothed had neglected to provide a wedding ring. She had him arrested, pouring forth to the magistrate the tale of the threatened shooting. It only proves once more that a woman does not mind being brow beaten, but darned 1T she will stand for neglect.
 Making TOats
 And you can get arrested for mak- ing toats. Of course, 1t depends where you make It. The man who fell afoul the law and his wife this week for making toats happened to be making toat in the home of the other woman.
 Two other sad cases to illustrate how great scarcity of good will to- ward men there is at the moment Five youths, ranging in age from 20
