A long pier extends out from the
shore. From behind it scurry two
seaplanes, their motors kicking up
terrible stir among hundreds OF
pelicans fishing for their dinner.
The steamer roars a welcome to

fluttering handkerchiefs. The pier
seems crowded, Folks must be oit-

Some may be seen fishing.
Slowly, as with great effort, the

The answer to the Browns ability
to come through last season is found
in the batting averages. Take the
regular line up. as outlined for the
season by Fohl; Sisler. the finest
first baseman in the land, hit .371
Ken Williams and Johnny Tobin
outfielders, were tied at 1852. and
Baby Doll Jacobson strung along at
.348.
That kind Of business will carry
any team, including one that looks
to be merely q fair defensive outfit
such as the Browns. They may no,

sistency in infield defense. with
Barney McManus. yet to prove that
he can stand the pace at second
base. but the hitting is good enough
to make them as dangerous as a
wood alcohol gargle.
McManus himself should hit
around .375 for the season. So
also should Gerber at short,
EIlerbe at third and Hank Sew

that kind OF an offense II you can.
1t wouldn't be any easy cinch, as
tho fellow said.
Defensively, the club Is by nc

McManus Is not as smooth as a con
mans tongue at second base. but he
was coming on well at the finish OF
the 1921 campaign. He probably will
get by nicely enough, flanked by a
pair such as Sisler and Gerber.
Furthermore. the outfield is strong
in all departments and SEVERED and
Josh Billings are first class catchers

Pitching, however, must b. reck'

AN ECONOMIC LAW

With the transportation of the
earth so complete and stable, prices
tend to level themselves the world
over A shortage here means bring
ing of goods from elsewhere and a
corresponding balancing of prices.
The call for aid from foreign lands
and a liberal response has proven a
paying proposition in this country.
The New York Times points out:
Makers of all kinds of apparel
have gained because so much of used
but wearable goods was SHIPPED
abroad to cover the naked, thereby
making it necessary for the senders
to replenish their wardrobes When
it comes to the foodstuffs. the re-
suit is more patent The enormous
quantities of grain recently sent tC

tries by the aid of contributions and
charity funds had the effect of rails

ONE ASPECT OF THE CRIME
WAVE

The crime wave may be as seri-
Gus and menacing to civilization as
alarmists picture it. But there are
waves and waves. What one might
call a crime wavelet is due to the
incredible foolishness Of the people
who are despoiled OF their posses
sions. Galli-Curci, the prima donna,
stopped for lunch while motoring in
California and left her jewel case
containing $4,000 worth of jewels
with her maid. The maid placed the
case on a table for a moment" and
when she returned the jewels were
gone. Galli-Curci had been robbed
and the crime wave had received
fresh momentum in the newspapers.
Suppose the prima dona, when go
ing to lunch. had passed over $4,000
in bills to her maid for safe keep
ing, how would that have looked to
sensible people? She would not have
handed over to tn: girl so much ac-
tual cash. probably; she might not
even have consented to carry $4,000
cash in hand bag at all. But in the
form of jewels it was a matter of
small moment to her to travel with a
fortune and leave an irresponsible
maid TO chaperon it while she ate.
The jewels were her ornaments; they
had to travel with her in as much in,
timacy with her person as her face
powder and lip stick.
The Galli-C urcis may do with their
property as they like. But when S45.-
600 worth of jewels suddenly disap-
pear by such a route. the evidence
it affords of a disintegrating social
order is lacking conclusiveness.
