OLD TIME SHORTSTOPS
BEGINNING TO SLIP

Unquestionahly the veteran short
stops in the American League are
slipping.
A few years back the names of
Scott aud Peckinpaugh would be i'm
mediately mentioned il one was Sc
lecting the best shortstop in the iu
Nor league
Those days are over. Scott has
gone back badly He has slowed up.
The spirit is there, but he can no
longer cover the ground. In the Sc
ries with the Giants half dozen hits
escaped him that would have been
easy chances a few years ago
Peckinpaugh is also going the other
way, but not as rapidly as Scott.
Peck can still cover the ground
Walter Gerber of the st Louis
Browns is one of the old standbys
who seems to be going as strong as
ever.
The two most brilliant shortstops
in the American League last year
We're youngsters, Chick Galloway and
Rigney.
Joe Sewell, the Cleveland short
stop, who gave so much promise in
1921, had a bad year of it last sea
son. He appeared to have lost a
bit of his confidence.

ClEMENCEAU SAILS
TOMORROW FOR u. S.

Paris Nov 10.-Georges Clemenceau
sailed for America today happy in the
spirit OF adventure. Today he was
gay Interested and interesting keen
TO be Of Considering his great age
-he was eighty one last Setember-
he was eighty-one last September
: -~ahes eagsrness with which the Tiger
Of France anticipated the experiences
that are soon to come to him in the
United States is quite touching to
those who see him and talk to him.
What impresses his American callers
the most is his youthfulness of out
look He talks Of the present and the
future in the manner of man in
middle life; he refuses to be reminis
cent
II never was much of a chap for
the past" Clemenceau remarked to
the correspondent who inquired about
the former premier's early visits to
the United States. This is not his
first trip to America as it commonly
supposed but his third.
MY father, who was eXled by Ma
poleon III thought it would be good
thing for me to go to America and
| went, "Clemenceau said, q had been
following events Of your civil war
and my sympathies were with the
north Almost Immediately after my
arrival however, | went to Richmond.
There | met good many southern
people and soon found out how de-
lightful, how simply charming they
WERE
Clemenceau paused moment and
then with gesture went on:
Shortly before my arrival Grant
had taken the city and | saw for the
first time what war and lombard
ment meant. Then | went to Wash
ington and later out west as far as
Chicago and from there to Buffalo
and after while to Boston,"
In conversation Clemenceau seldom
aludes to his subsequent experiences
IN Amrica, first as young gentleman
OF leisure reading extensively for two
years i'll the libraries OF New York
and then a teacher in girls school
in Connecticut 1t was during his
days as an instructor at the girls
school that Clemenceau met the
young woman who BECAME his wife
