planned by Quinn:
THE spirit OF Austin makes him a
valuable mar to the Browns. A player
like Austin means much to a team In
victory he fights, in defeats he hght1
even harder.
Tho spirit of Austin becomes the
spirit OF the Browns. Austin is carried
because he is an optimist who believes
only In victory. His CHEEKY words on
the coaching lines are often far moro
valuable to the morale OF a bail club
than a cluster OF bare hits"

BASEBALL CRITICS FAIL
TO MENTION CY YOUNG

John ]. McGraw and other histor-
ians. experts and critics OF baseball. in
discussing the great pitchers Of the
game all overlook Denton CCyl Young.
Never is the name mentioned, although
the discussions include Radbourne and
Rusie. Mathewson and johnson. wad.
dell and Brown, Joss and Alexander.
Bender n McGinnity. Meekin and
Chesbro. Clarkson. Baldwin. Keefe,
and others. But no reference to
Young.
Still. Young pitched IN tho major
leagues for t~wenty-one years and only
Johnson struck out more batsrnen. He
was a winning pitcher in the big
leagues after no passed the 40 year
mark. Honus Wagner and Napoleon
Lsjoie each served the same number
of years in tho majors; Ty Cobb must
play three ear more before he will
equal that number. How many pitch
ers in the last fifty years could equal
Young for finish. technique, general
mastery, and length OF service?
Speaking of pitchers that have been
overlooked. n rarely ever hears the
narne OF Babe Ruth included In the list
of great m~oundsnen- There is some
excuse for this because Ruth's subse-
quent work as a slugger was 30 much
moro spectacular that his feats on h
pitching hill readily passed from
memory.
However. Ruth not alone was a
splendid pitcher for the Boston Amer
leans. but he is tine leading pitcher OF
the league according to II lifetime
averages Of pitchers. Ruth served as
a pitcher through eight seasons. won
ninety one games. lost forty-ive, and
carries a pitching average OF .6es. He
opposed the Tigers In twenty-five
games that went to a decisIon. win
ming eleven IN losing the same num-
Der. He beat St Louis twentyone
times and the Browns were his pet
prey: they beat Ruth but three times.
Tn Babes pitching record is many
points better than that OF Walter John

and other stars of recent years. Had
Ruth not developed slugging powers,
be probably would DO the one great

After all Is said and done the means

Summed up in a few words, the stunt

the birds have to have some defense

A little 81 rife is the answer.
As for breeding places. this general
fact should be kept In mind. Although
a considerable OF our native birds
build their homes on the ground. the
majority place them in shrubbery or
trees Some utilize holes. others place
their nests on the limbs Of trees or in
the crotches. SO in order to keep
birds on your land. It is essential to

surprising how modern tree surgery is
affecting the birds these days. You
know IN the old days nearly every or

all kinds OF cavities in them that were
great stuff for nesting Htes- With
the advent of modern tree
these old trees are getting scarcer and
scsrcer and Is a result the natural
homes of many birds are fewer.

German Artists
Sadly Calling
For Models

Dresden, Feb. 10.-(Mail) -Such A
dearth of living models for artists
has developed in Dresden, Munich,
and other art centers OF Germany,
that the government art academy
here has taken steps to remedy the
situation.
In pre-war days one of the sights
Of Munich and some other cities was
the market of models where artists
regularly made their selections. 1t
was a gay crowd which assembled.
and usually there was a surplus of
young women eager to offer their
services as models of one kind or
another. But times have changed.
and in spite of the surplus of women
in Germany. models are hard to get.
The art academy of Dresden has
appealed to the young women to
come back to their vocation, and in
sists that even to the modern artists
living models are absolutely neces-
sary. Not only arc models essential
for painters and sculptures of the
human figures. says the academy
notice. but young women are required
who wear their clothing particularly
well, or who have the knack of drap-
ping themselves artistically to suit
the artists needs.

Naturally enough in their siren
ucus effort to get the Democratic
party back into the running the lead
ers are putting out smoke screens to
hide from view the nauseous mess
they dumped onto the country when
retiring from power. For instance
Bankhead OF Alabama, who by the
way advocates and votes for continu-
ancs Of the disastrous government
ownership Of shipping, demands the
removal Of Chairman Lasker Of the
Shipping Board on the ground that
he plays politics. AS we recall Las
ker had made a success of the bust
ness he had before he undertook to
pull the Shipping Board out of the
mire into which the Democrats had
plunged 1t. He was asked by the
President to undertake this and the
thanks he gets for doing a good job
and fer trying to terminate that job
and get back to his own affairs is
that he ought to be removed. Are
the Democratic leaders so sanguine
AZ to think they can get back and do
with the Shipping Board as they did
under the Wilson administration? 1t
would seem so. They will not un-
less the voters have exceedingly
short memories.
