amount to much. In this, the story of his
career, tod by himself, he tells you what
he knows-t-he skill of men and teams
and plays, the development of the Ameri-

that the baseball fan of today wants ii
know about He gives pointers to the
youngsters and the college player and he
tells the old hand where he can look for
new delights by watching for fine points
that most of us overlook. Hans Wagners
story is more than this, however; to it
he has brought his sound philosophy and
knowledge of men. SO that the diamond,
as he talks of it, becomes as broad as
the whole world And with a simplicity
that makes absorbing reading. he has ac-
conn lished~wha many skilled writer's fail

was playing with matches around
the bed, the police point out.
The woman told the police that
when she saw the fire yesterday
afternoon, she knew something was
