Manager Lee Fohl Has Some Good Pitchers and His Infield Is Materially Strengthened.
By Billy Evans

There is an air of pennant confi- dence floating around the camp of Lee Fohl and his St.. Louis Browns this spring.
 The Browns trailed the Yankees by single game in the exciting 1922 struggle. Had the to ? defeat of Sept. IS finished as the ninth inning started, ? to 1 lead for St. Louis, the New York vs. New York world series would not have been played. At odd moments during the 1922 season Lee Fohl found himself in need of pitching strength, q third baseman and a right handed pinch hitter.
 For 1923 the Browns apparently have strengthened and improved these weak spots of year ago. At least I saw some exceptionally promising material in inspecting the Browns at Mobile.
 The usual assortment of young phenoms drifted in this spring. 1ut out of the flock the following have earned their major league diplomas:
 Some Choice Youngsters
 Southpaw Jim Elliott, from Terre Haute. who won 20 games and lost eight and famed 214 in 250 innings.
 Right handler Hollis Thurston. from Salt Lake City, who looks better than his record of 15 victories and 16 de- l'eats
 Outfielder Horace Bennett, from Tulsa, who batted .370 and produced 56 doubles, II triples and s4 home runs as q fence buster.
 Third Baseman Homer Ezzell from Shreveport. who battcd ..3S1 in the Texas league.
 Third Baseman Sylvester Simon, who batted .312 with Bay City.
 Outfielder Vache. who batted 1929 with Charleston.
 Catcher John Schulte, from Mobile.
 Southpaw Frank Dutch" Henry, who won 20 and lost only four in the fast Southern league, is also great prospect. Henry failed to report at Mobile because of salary differences.
 Browns Have Strengthened
 The important point with the Browns is this:
 Fohl expects better pitching. Pruett will have improved by last years ex- perience. The recruits have shown Fohl enough stuff to make him feel sure they will prove helpful.
 He has third base protected in case Frank Ellerbe's injured knee does not hold out in Ezzell and Simon. not for getting the veteran Eddie Foster, who joined theml ate last season.
 He has a right handed pinch hit Ter in Vache. who is built along the inc of Happy" Felsch. and he has ! snappy looking catcher in Schulte, he kid from Mobile.
 Fohl is protected through injuries o his regulars with excellent mater al. Bennett is one of the best look ng youngsters I have seen in the ;outh. Of course, a recruit outfielder with the Browns has to sit on the bench and absorb experience or wait 'or an injury. For in Kenny Will jams, Bill Jacobson and Johnny Tobin here is an ideal outfield and one that s hard to beat.
 There will be no changes in the srowns' outfield. Williams will be in eft, Jacobson in center and Tobin in ight The infield will start with the peerless George Siser at first base. Iarty McManus who was the talk of he league last summer at second: Walter Gerber at short and 1llerbe at third.

Connie Mack is of the opinion that the experimental days are over, that the Athletics have arrived. That will be good news to the many followers of Mack all over the country.
 Four players who Mack believes will aid in the Athletics fight to the top are sammy Hale, Wild Matthews, Walter Kinney and Riconda.
 Matthews is an outfielder. Hale and Riconda infelders and Kinney a pitcher who was with the Athletics a few years back, but who has been out of baseball for some time as the re- suit of a Judge Landis sentence for breaking the rules of the game.
 Hale and Riconda are third sack CTS. Hale cost Mack a lot of money and is slated for third. If he fails, ], ,Riconda will get his chance. Riconda was one of the stars of the New Haven, Conn.,, team of last year which won the Eastern League pennant.

Oscar Roettger is the only recruit pitcher taken south my the New York Americans to be retained. Roettger was with Sioux City in the Western league last year. He is big right handler who has all kinds of stuff.
 The veteran Bob Shawkey has the following comment to make on the youngster: "Roettger is the most likely looking youngster I have seen in some time, He has fine speed. and a natural snap delivery that should enable him to develop sharp break ing curve"

RED CROSS ADVANCING
IN HEALTH CAMPAIGN
Extends Service TO New Fields
and Brings Healing Hope to
Remote Sections.

1.-THE supreme opportunity for lead
ership" for the American Red Cross is
it,, health service. Thus committee
made up of prominent physicians, san
itarians and public health experts,
after months of exhaustive study. re-
ported and urged that not only should
the Red Cross continue it's present
service, but Eh2Ild undertake
comprehensive educational campaign
along public health lines. The an
nual report of the American Red
Cross, just issued, discloses that it
has grasped this opportunity in the
fields OF public health nursing. in
structNn in home hygiene and care OF
the sick, nutrition work, first aid to
the injured and in water life-saying.
Health service is fundamentally.
historically and practically an impor-
tant function of the Red Cross, and
each year marks its extension into
new fields and along broader lines. In
the Red Cross Nursing Service there
are enrolled nearly 10000 nurses. 20
900 of whom served during the World
War The past year Red Cross nurses
were assigned to duty in isolated
sections of Alaska and North CARO-
lima and to work among the fisher
men of Penobscot Bay, Me.
The Public Health Nursing Service.
inaugurated by the American Red
Cross in 1912, which operates chiefly
in rural sections untouched by other
public health agencies, has 1898 Red
Cross nurses working under the di-
rection OF Chapters. This work has
won so high a regard that many or
the nurses are taken over by the local
authorities to maintain health services
for their communities. Instruction in
Home Hygiene ard Care of the Sick
Is noting steady advance. Since
1914 certificates of proficiency have
been given 304,427 women who com
pleted the Red Cross course. In the
last year 1856 certificates were
awarded and 65,901 students were I'M
der the instruction of 1864 Red Cross
nurses.
The benefits derived from meals
balanced to meet each persons pecul-
lar needs is winning widespread rec
ognition through the work of the Red
Cross Nutrition Service, particularly
in the schools. During the school
year 2,6SS carried on regular instruc-
ton in nutrition, reached more than
10000 children and adults. More
than $3.50 volunteers assisted in this
work. Throughout the country 1928
health meetings were held under Red
Cross auspices, attended by approx.
mately 254,500 persons.

Annual Summons to
Red Cross Banner
On Arnistice Day

Americas great humanitarian effort
in behalf of stricken Japan early in
September gave the answer to the
question. What is there for the Red
Cross to do in time of peace?" What
the American Red Cross did at once
when this crushing earthquake disas-
ter came without warning showed
that 1t was ready on the instant with
countrywide team work to carry out
quickly and effectively the request OF
the President to lead the national eff
fort for the relief OF the many thou
sands OF sufferers. Preparedness to
take the field when relief is needed is
charter duty Of the Red Cross.
Without a membership enrolled in ey-
cry community in the land this Teadi'
ness would be impossible. That is
why your dollar membership is most
important.
It is imperative that the structure
of the American Red Cross be made
up OF millions of individual units.
Opening Armistice Day, November III.
and closing with Thanksgiving Day,
November 20, the Roll Call this year
will penetrate to the ends Of the
earth and to the ships sailing the
seven seas. The $500 Red Cross
Chapters in the United States will
have their busy volunteers enrolling
members during this period imbued
with renewed enthusiasm due to the
recent revival of effort when the call
came from Japan.

THE NEW CONGRESS

The universal summarization
OF the late lamented sixtv-seventh
Congress is that it was a do
nothing" congress. The signs
are that the members of the sixty
eighth are planning "try-to-do-
something" congress.
Partisan crosS-purposes NAV
prevent positive results but lack
OF activity will not be blamed.
Mnay of the congressmen-elect
won ON platforms pledging a re-
peal or modification of the Esch-
Cummins law, and the large part
railroad men PLAYED in the cleo
ton will assure some legislative
activity on that subject. The
soldiers bonus will probably be
revived, the defeat OF Senators
Calder, Frelinghuysen and some
Others who voted to sustain the
PRESIDENTS veto, having given
new hope to the bonus advocates
There are certain to be bills
Tor modification OF the Nolstead
act, but whether they escape the
committee room is doubtful.
Some of the new men are GER
tain to bring forward the Ford
ney-M cCumber tariff for attack.
and repeal of this unpopular mea-
sure undoubtedly will be one of
the most conspicuous questions
to come before the congress.
Excess porhts laws are to be
advocated but probably with lit
tie chance of change. The pro-
posal of the international bank
ers of New York for the cancel
lation of the foreign debts NAV
be promulgated, but the cold re-
ception the country gave the idea
several weeks ago will probably
keep many congressman from de
voting much time to the sugges-
ton. tk

is certain to be a-plenty; OF leg
isiation there will be some.

AMERICA LEADS

New York bankers are working
on plan whereby an American
telephone company is to extend
its service into South America
with invasion OF Europe as a
more distant probability. Exam
ination of statistics relating to
telephones shows an astonishing
lack OF this method of communi-
cation in nearly every country
but our own.
The telephone is now nearly 80
years old. There is one in the
United States for every eight per
sons, but in Europe there is only
one for every hundred persons.
In all France there are not half
as many telephones as there are
in New York City. Two-thirds
of all in the world are in the
United States, and only one.
fourth in Europe. Three million
American farmers have tele-
phones. but it is a rarity to find
one in a rural home outside OF
this country.
The situation speaks volumes
for our higher standards Of liv-
ing. 1t also indicates lack of pro-
gressiveness in the other coun-
tries. Telephone service is not
SO costly as to be a luxury. II
is within the reach of people in
moderate circumstances and it is
SO valuable for business and So
cial purposes that it is difficult
TO see how the Europeans and
South Americans can afford to
do without it.
1T American enterprise is nee
essary to furnish them with tele-
phone service they should wei
come the coming of the Yankee
company.
