Urban Faber Should Win IS Games This Year
Sox Pitcher Heads For
The Hall Of Baseball
Fame
BY DEAN SNYDER

Out of the heat of the Penuant
fight new wonder man has. appear
ed.
He is Urban "Red" FaUer, the
White Sox pitcher who throws the
speed ball splitter.
The astounding record which he
has piled up thus far in the year al
ready has won him the name of be-
ing the greatest pitcher OF 1921.
Should he continue his pace dur
ing the remaining 70-odd games, he
will surpass the feats which put the
names of Christy Mathewson, c
Young, Jack Chesbro, Eddie Plank,
Chief Bender. Ed Walsh, Russ Ford,
Jack Coombs, MordScai Brown,
Smoky" Joe Wood and other lights
of the yesterdays in the hall of base
ball fame.
His Log Book
For "Urban the Red" up to July
rs had won 20 games for THE rebuilt
Gleasonites with but six defeats. Ov
er half the games the SoX have won
are down in the records to the cred t
of the big sorrel-topped fellow.
Faber can slump in his pitching
from now on and still make the ha-
loed circle Of 80 games won which
pitchers strive for.
And should he win Is or possibly
20 games more-which is possible
he will have surpassed all records
of the past.
While team that has one pitcher
who can win 80 or more games usu-
ally wins the pennant The Sox are
likely TO wind gp IN the cellar
This fact makes Fa5eI's record ali
the more marvellous.
With a team like the White Sox
of 1920 how many games would Fab,
er have won?
He has beaten the strongest clubs
this year, including Cleveland and
the Yanks with near cellar ball
club back of him.

COLOR LINE

Drawing the color line in boxing
is matter of personal sentiment.
But in its real analysis, so far as
athletics are concerned, it is wrong
The flaw in boxing is that some
are not of high class moral caliber.
Drawing the color line against the
individual in such a case is right.
But to put up the barriers to the
negro race as a whole is wrong and
contrary to good craftsmanship
L would be far better for the
sport if the moral line" were drawn
in such instances on both black and
white.

 Mrs. Pickett's husband was in the lobster commission business until he died in 1906. She took it up and soon became known to every steward of every hotel in the city, her sales amounting to- between $50,000 and s100. .000 a year.

Little Stories For Bedtime

THE LAUGHING BROOK STOPS
 LAUGHING

There was something wrong Grandfather Frog knew it the very minute he got up that morning. At First he couldn't thinks what it was. He sat with just his head out of water ana Diinked his great goggly eyes as he tried to think what was wrong. Suddenly Grandfather Frog realized how still 1t was. It was a different Kind of stiffness from anything he could ever remember. He missed something, and he couldn't think what. It wasn't the song of MT. Red wing. There were many times when he didn't hear that. It was Grand Father Frog gave a startled jump out on the shore.
 "Chugarum! It's the Laughing Brook! The Laughing Brook has stopped laughing." cried Grandfather Frog.
 Could 1t be? Whoever heard of such a thing excepting when Jack Frost bound the Laughing Brook with hard, black ice? Why, in the spring and in the summer and in the fall the Laughing Brook had laughed-such q merry. happy laugh-ever since Grandfather Frog could remember, and you know he can remember way back in the long ago, for he is very old and very wise. Never once in all that time had the Laughin~ Brook failed to laugh. It couldn't be true now, Grandfather Frog put a hand behind one ear and listened and lis tened, but not a sound could he hear.
 'Chugarum! It must be me-" said Grandfather Frog. Tt must be that l am growing old and deaf. I'll go over and ask Jerry Muslxrat."
 So Grandfather Frog dove into the water and swam out to the middle of the Smiling Pool on his way to Jerry Muskrat's house. It was then that he first realized the truth of what Jerry Muskrat and Little Joe Otter had told him the day before-that there was something very, very wrong with the Smiling Pool. He stopped swimming to look around, and 1t seemed as if his great goggly eyes would pop right out of his head Yes, sir: 1t seemed ss if those great goggly eyes certainly would pop right out of Grandfather Frogs head. The Smiling Pool had grown so small tha' there wasn't enough of it left to smile!
 where are you going, Grand father Frogr asked a voice over his head.
 Grandfather Frog looked up. Look ing down on him from over the edge of the Big Rock was Jerry Muskrat The edge of the Big Rock was twice as high above the water as Grand father Frog had ever seen it before.
 I-I-was going to swim over to your house to see you," replied Grandfather Frog.
 Its of no use," replied Jerry. "be- cause I'm not there. Besides, you can't swim there anyway
 why not ?" demanded Grandfather Frog fin great surprise.
 Because it isn't in the water any longer it's way up on dry land.s said Jerry Muskrat in the most mournfu1 voice.
 What's that you say?" cried Grandfather Frog, as if he couldn't believe his own ears.
 Its just as true as that Pm sit
