MODES VS.. MORALS DISCUSSED
IN WARNER PHoTOPLAY
Character and Star of "Why Girls
Leave Home" Give Some
Varied Reasons.

Is an evening gown the garb of de-
gradation?
Without hesitation most of US
would say that it is not, but the stern
parent in "Why Girls Leave Home,"
which will be shown at the Opera
House Friday, June 9th, is firm in the
belief that it is sham and ingenious
mode of revealing the backs of wo-
men. In direct contrast to this asser-
ton Anna @. Nillson, who is the fea-
tured player in t,.e screen play, con-
tends that there is nothing suggestive
about an evening gown, and that
furthermore it serves to make wom-
en- more attractive in the eyes of
their admirers.
"Practically all of a woman's life
is centered on being attractive to
either her husband or intimate
friends" said Miss Nillson, smiling
demurely. "Surely, if we take away
the right. Of woman to look her best,
we rob her of the only possession
with which to hold her man. But
evening gowns are not to be despis.

Urban Shocker of the st. Louis
Browns is generally considered the
most valuable pitcher in the Amer
lean League.
Shocker is a pitcher to use the
slang OF the ball field, who has
everything" fine speed, a great
curve, excellent change Of pace and
the annoying spitball.
Better yet, Shocker knows how to
pitch. Hs is one Of the wisest, If
not the wlsest. twirler in either of
the major leagues. Most of the time
he has his batters in the hole and is
constantly working on their weak
ness.
Shocker is game. No situation is
too tough for him to face. The
harder the going, the more impor-
tant the series, the better he
likes 1t.
A manager could have no better
ace than Shocker. He is always
ready to pitch. When some st. Louis
pitcher starts to weaken, Manager
Fohl never needs to ask Shocker to
warm up. He can usually be found
in the warm-up section getting
ready.
Shocker won 12 games in the first
eight weeks of play. when an injury

Not Much Baseball.
Recently l put this question TO a
number of prominent stars of the
old days. also some present-day
luminaries, whose careers date back
a considerable way.
DO they play as much baseball in
the majors today as they did IS
years ago?"
The expression, play as much
baseball" is much used by those
actively connected with the game.
as referring TO the so-called inside
stuff or strategy of the diamond.
THE slam bang style now in
vogue in baseball has eliminated for
the time being much OF the inside

BASEBALL STYLE

Major Leagues Today Don't Play As Much Baseball AS They Did

By BILLY EVANS

Has the era OF swat that is now
holding the boards in major league
baseball eliminated much of the So
called inside stuff that once graced
the game?
Ball clubs nowadays seldom play
for one run. The big idea is TO get
them in clusters.
One-run baseball calls for the in
side stuff, the bunt the steal the
sacrifice. the take-a-chance base
running, and many of the other finer
points. too numerous to mention.
Not only does one-run. baseball
call for inside stuff on the offensive,
but on the defensive as well
on the defense it requires close
observance OF the base runners on
the part of the pitcher. 1t calls for

Style of Play.
I'm the IS years have been
playing major league ball can
notice a remarkable difference in
the style of play in vogue. A one
runmargin now means nothing.
once upon a time it was something
for a pitcher to have one run to
work on. At present 1t is not un-
usual for clubs to have big innings
of four or more runs. The public
seems to like the present style, so
why worry. However. there is a
certain monotony to slugging tac-
tics" That is the opinion of the
great Eddie Collins.
The public seems to approve of
the present style so why should an
old veteran like myself offer any
criticism. Yet there has been a big
change in baseball in the last 20
years. Today most pitchers simply
throw the ball. and most batters
simply swing The art of trying to
fool the batter. or place the ball by
the batsman seems lost" says John
ny Evers.
What do you think about it. Mr..
Fan?
