NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. IL
Stanwood Baumgartner, New Ha-

the leading twirlers in the Eastern
League, is due to return to the
majors next season, according to
reports here today.
1t was stated today that Baum
gartner was slated to become an
American Lacquer and would prob
ably sport the cOlors Of the Phila-

years, but on account Of his arm
not being fit he did not meet with
much success.
However, since Joining New Ha-

all the other pitchers to date with
more than twenty victories to his

GOTHAM CHIEFS
FROWNO ON
TOURS
By DAVIS j. WALSH.

NEW YORK, Sept. lin line
with the general inclination to ten
der the elevated eyebrow to post
season buck hunting by major
league ball players, 1t is now inti-
mated that John McGraw and Miller
Higgins will sanction no further ex-
oslrsions of this nature by the young
men Of their employ. Future expe-
ditions, during which the alert and
wary buck is stalked to the box of
flee and made captive, must be car
ried on. now and forever henceforth,
without the aid of either Giant or
Yank, it is said.
1t must be that the worthy Mr..
McGraw has scanned the official bat
ting averages AMI likes not what he
sees. Casey Stengel was one Of three
Giant players to take part in the
tour of the Orient during the last
off-season. 1t may be said for
Casey that he is more hit against
than hitting, right at the moment.
His batting average is well down
around 300 this season, whereas he
hit for matter of $40 last year.

Firpo has been doing quite q
bit OF fighting In the past year and
has gained a. lot of knowledge
through those bouts, but. unfortu-
nateiy for him, he has not fought
the kind OF men who could make it
possible for him to learn sufficient
ring trickery and ring general
ship to cope with Dempsey.
Beyond willard and Brennan,
this Argentine slugger has not met
anything but third or fourth raters.
And when Brennan fought him
Bill was a mile beyond his best
days and far out of condition. Will
ard was an old man whose legs
faltered just as soon as he was hit

nothing else to win except keep

handed fighter of the wild-swins-
Ing type. Every warrior who de-
pends solely upon a long sweeping
right hand always is open for a
counter blow, and Jack Dempsey is
the greatest counterer the ring
game has ever produced. He's an
absolute marvel in that branch of
fighting.
! look for Firpo to try a swing
or two, and even as his blows start,
] figure that Dempsey will step In
with that lightning left hook of his
and crack Firpo on the chin and
then smash him in the body with
his right hand.
II Firpo were clever, or IL he
were fast, then I'd figure that he
probably could avoid some of the
Dempsey 1efthanders.
But Dempsey has it on him in
speed and in snappy punch delivery,
and feel that Firpo will be mighty
lucky il he stands three or four
real blows before the show is over.
Among the greatest of Jack

bat regiments now on the rolls Of
the regular army consist of but one
officer and two men each!
''In all that army today there is
but one infantry regiment fit to en-
gage in combat under conditions Of

ninth Infantry, now on demonstration
duty at Fort Bennings, Georgia.
|, Cavalry and field artillery are as
badly, off. They are er-officered,
under-manned, undetermined and un.

I'm the opinion of well-informed
military leaders, 1t would take US six
months, at least, to mobilize 100000
men. From a military standpoint we
are, to all intents and purposes, &C
tually defenseless today against any
sudden attack in which our ability
to mobilize quickly would mean a
victory"

Uncle Sans present unpreparedness
are made in McClures by Herbert
B. Mayer, late lieutenant Of infan-
try in the Regular Army. To tell
this story of what he terms "our
present grave national peril" he re-
Gently gave up his commission and
the promise of career in the Army.
His statements, he announces, have
all been checked by some of the
highest officers in the army today,
and are based in addition on conf
Dental reports, charts and other
documents of the most unimpeach-
able authority.
From these authorities Mr.. Mayer
shows that Of our magnificent fight
we now have left only a wrecked
fragment, unfit to take the field
against any modern army.

says, carries the numerical designa-

the eight hours continuously, so much
the better, but it can be broken into

comfortably be borne, and to come

His idea of what causes the won
derful inauguration and apparent
cures of some illnesses is that the
aeration of the water as it passes
through the air, the oxygen that is
in the air striking the skin, has some
thing to do with it. Also, there is
the constant friction of the skin,
causing, he thinks, mild electric re-
actions. He is only beginning the
scientific investigation as to why SO
simple a thing produces so great an
effect.
