 WITH OIL PAINTING

A large oil painting depicting a village street in central France be- fore the war was presented to Post No. 1, American Legion, yesterday by Hermann Ewert, an artist who is Touring the world, and who has been in the city about ten days.
 Ewert makes it rule to present one of his paintings to some insti- tuition in every city he visits and the local post was the beneficiary here.
 The picture is very attractive and from an artistic standpoint has real merit
 Ewert has travelled over the great CT part of Asia, all of Europe and visited points in Africa. Wherever it is possible he makes his journey by water. as he owns d combined motor and sail boat. He travelled practically, all the way by water from the Canadian lakes to the Gulf Of Mexico. He claims to hold rec ordsfor long distance swimming and adept in other athletic feats.
 EsNert expects to remain in the city another week.

Turbyyille Is Right.

TIRED TURBYVILLE, sports
editor Of the Baltimore Eve
Il ming Sun, has a rather wider
experience than most sports writers
in the minor league circuits, which
NAV explain the following very
wise words under his name in his
own pet column the other day:
Even il Jack Dunn has been
negligent In keeping on hand q
reserve in playing strength. and
even though Jimmy Walsh played
poor baseball at second Sunday, 1t
hardly behooves the fans to razz
the club so early in the year. There
was considerable knocking during
the playing of yesterdays game.
Remember,I the season is mighty
Young vet, and the Orioles have
played but three games. Remem-
ber. too, the team won three pen
nants in gov.
at may BE true that the team is
cracking; it is true that Dunn has
not properly provided for emer-
gencies, and it was quite APPARENT
that Jimmy Walsh was no Max
Bishop yesterday, yet the season
is but three games old, and it's too
early to Judge. Time only will tell
if Dunn's great baseball machine
is on the decline. Have, a little
patience.
Suppose the Orioles do crack?
Will the fans turn against the team
because it no longer would have a
playing advantage over the other
seven clubs? | don't believe so.
One of my critics says that Balti-
more will support only first-place
club. Suppose the fans in every
city should take a stand like that.
How long would baseball last? I?
There is only one first place in any
league and all of the clubs can't
be there at the same time. Even
if some other club should nose the
Birds out this year, there should
be no razzing from the fans. Base
ball is a game and If winning q
pennant was a cut-and-dried affair
what would be the use Of going
out to see it? There must be un-
certainty. and apparently there is

Local Wrestler Downs Greek
After Losing First Fall Before
Big Crowd at Capitol.

As far as Charlie Metros is con-

ater last night when he defeated
the sturdy Greek cleanly and de
cisivelv in a wrestling match that

brought the audience to it's feet.
incidentally the audience was one
of the largest ever assembled under
the Capitol Theater roof.
Turner entered the bout at
disadvantage, but he left no doubt
as to its result. The Greek weighed
several pounds more than the local
boy and as usual the audience was
hostile, but Turner gradually beat
down these handicaps and when he
finally downed his opponent the

ed and lost the first fall after AZ
minutes OF grueIlng work. He
frequently had seemingly unbreak'
able holds on the Greek, but from
these Metros emerged finally TO
conquer Turner with a flying pin
fall that left Turner all but un'
conscious.
The second fall was the most
spectacular Of the match, although
Il was the shortest. After Metros
had broken several painful toe
holds Turner secured a double toe
hold and double arm-lock which
rendered the Greek helpless after
the round had progressed 26 min
utes.
Turner won the third and de-
Gliding fall with a cradle hold in
40 minutes after ne had been with

several occasions.
The preliminaries contributed
much to the excellence OF the card.

New Orleans, and just two have
looked worth keeping, Norman
Mcmillan and George Murray.
Mcmillan is en- infielder who has
done good work in the garden.
Murray is a pitcher with small
chance of breaking into that regu-
lar staff Of stars.
Welch was given a brief trial
last year, but this year he seems
the only newcomer worth while In
the Philadelphia lineup.
Hughey Duffy is playing Clarke
Pittenger in his infield. This
youngster warmed the bench last
season, but now looks good enough
to stick in there every day.
Ty Cobb seems to have found a
number of new players in Haney,
third baseman; Rigney, shortstop; (;
Clark, second base; Fothergill, out
field; and Oleson and Johnson,
pitchers. However, he may have
been forced to use them because
he had no others.
The White Sox, Browns, and
Indians are offering no new players
of merit. They took many to
their training camps, but found
none worth while, though the In

pitchers for more extended trials.

GOOD PITCHING
KEEPS MACKS
STEPP|NG0UT
Athletics Seem to Have SaCii-
ficed Some Speed for Stead
mess and Bat Power.
By SID MERCER.

These Athletics are an assem-
bled' team like the Yankees, yet
hey are faring better than the
Griffmen because they are getting
good pitching. Up to Monday the
Macks had broken even in eight
games and they are still travelling
in the first division.
Mack is carrying ten pitchers, OF
whom Harris. Rommel, Moore, Hell
mach, Naylor, Hasty and Sullivan
are considered good. In recent
years the Athletics have finished
last with young, fast light-hitting
teams.
Connie appears to have sacrificed
some speed for hitting strength and
steadiness. Johnston and Young
certainly lend a venerable tone to
the infield and Clarence Walker
and Bing Miller are not in the
chicken class as outfielders.
Maybe Mack is on the right track
at last. In his lineup he presented
Young, Johnston, Walker and NIL
ler-all originally produced by other
managers-and five of his own
pupils. This may develop into a
good combination If Connie can sup
ply the pitching. Cy Perkins is as
good n catcher as the American n
League boasts of and a dangerous
hitter. too.
This batting order carVies no ex.
traordinary punch. but IT has light
charge Of dynamite concealed all
the way down the lines.
Some folks think the Athletics
will get out of the cellar this year.
However, Connie has opened the
season with far better looking teams
