Connie Mack Didn't Try

Connie Mack. of old the wizard at
changing ball players into stars in new
positions, didn't try out Bill Barrett
long enough.
"Babston' Bnrs sensational batting
and outdelding with the White Sox
only proves that Connie knew some

enough.

England semi-pros in 1921 as a pitcher.
Connie sent him to Earl Mack's Moline

that he wasn't a pitcher.
But for his batting and all-round
baseball ability, Connie switched him
TO shortstop, He was carded to be the

LEGION TO FATHER ORPHANS
Probier1. One Of Biggest Facing Or
canization, Regarded as Con-
finued Service TO Nation.


Caring for orphaned children Of
World war veterans is regarded as
one Of the principal problems in the
American Legion's plan OF continued
service to the nation. Estimates show
that within eleven years after the
close Of the war, there will be at
least 5000 Of such children, and the
number is expected 70 increase so
rapidly thar 1t Will entail as much ex-
pend:ture as does the relief Of dis
abled soldiers
George A. Withers Of Clay Center,
Kansas, is chairman Of the Leglon's
national committee on children's
homes Mr.. Wlthers has given I'M
sparingly of his time during the past
year in research and study of the con
ditions and methods used in the up
bringing Of veterans dependents. The
committee IS composed Of Mark T.
Mckee OF Michigan, Charles French
of New Hampshire, William B. Healey
OF Pennsylvania, G. A. Warlick Of
North Carolina, r. r. Hallenbeck Of
Pennsylvania, Ralph X. Robertson Of
New York, and A. H. McKnew Of
California. They have prepared an
outline for the Legions part IN such
a program, to be submitted to the
fifth annual convention Of the or
GanizatiOn at San Francisco.

Yanks Manage to Secure
Pleasure Out of Games

English critics Of American sport
have always based their criticisms on
the grounds that Americans take their
games too seriously, with their train
ing and the rest of it, and that they
are not getting the fun out of it that
sport should have.
But Bohun Lynch, the English au-
thor In his interesting book on pugil-
ism, 'Knuckles and Gloves" sets forth
the thing in another light and In words
that frame the American idea Of the
thing in a very apt fashion.
'But an amateur in sport is still rec
ognized as one who loves an occupa-
tion for its own sake" he writes. ''He
loves it so much that he will deny him
self the softer pleasures in order to
be proficient, and is prepared IL I'M
dergo serious hardship in its pursuit"
Critics of the seriousness with
which the Americans play their games
lose sight of the fact that they still
have fun out of them, probably more
fun than they would have if they
didn't They lose sight of the fact
that perhaps even greater pleasure lies
in doing the thing as well as it can be
done by the person making the at
tempt.

Exact procedure Of the Legion is
uncertain, and may not be deter
mined until after the convention takes
action. No approval has been given
TO any plans outlined because Of the
variance of opinions of child welfare
workers on the feasibility of certain
methods. Suggestions Of placement of
dependent children with near rela-
Tives, with financial aid in education;
location with foster parents; group
ing of the wards In small colonies I'M
der direction OF matrons: and insti-
tutional care In orphauages viii be In
cluded in the report Of the committee.
Further plans for education and voca-
tional training will be outlined in the
report.
Work Of preparation has been as
sisted by responses to a QUESTIONABLE
sent TO heads of all Legion depart
ments Il has been determined from
these that at least six states already
have provided specific care for those
bereft of parents by the World war,
and in other states plans looking to
Legion cooperation as partial solu-
ton have been prepared A project
in Washington calls for establishment
of an institution on public lands of
the state, TO be financed through eff
forts Of the Legion. Michigan now
has an orphauage known as the
American Legion Chudren's billet,
under direction Of the organization.
Kansas is at work on a plan for ac-
ceptance OF a gift from Daniel Dab
ney who offered the Legion a large
tract OF land, and an endowment of
$4,000 it the Legion would raise
100000 for home for dependent
children Of former service men.
Members of the committee believe
that the care Of such children is a re-
sponsibiiity for the Legion. In a re-
cent letter Chairman Withers has
summed Up the duty of the Legion
men iu these words.
