later, getting trial with the Phila,
delphia Athletics, he was generally
regarded as q nut" by his com
panions. This was not a play on
his name. No one looked on him
as a bright player, though he could
hit baseball with reckless sort
of abandon.
Being rather slow, and q not par.
ticularly good fielder, BRAZIL was
shunted off to Portland In the Pa.
cific Coast League. Apparently
they took him more seriously out
there. It couldn't have been his
brief major league experience, for
nearly everybody on the coast has
been "up" at one time or another.
Perhaps Frank developed more con.
fidence and forced that confidence
on others.
At any rate. he was appointed
manager Of the club. Though his
team Is In seventh place that isn't

full Of America before looking
at those statistics and wasn't
able to stand any more punish
ment.
The first thing that shocked
his boyish sophistication was
the defeat Of the English polo
four. He limited to some init
mate pals that those American
ponies had Ford motors con-
cealed under their saddles.
That was enough for his royal
bifocals. In fact it was too
much. He took to the Canadian
open spaces where men are men

His only wish was to escape

While on this flying trip to
Detroit he was conducted
through the sanitarium by
Henry Ford himself, than whom
there is no better guide in or
outside the grounds.
After leaving the nut factory,
the prince issued a statement
