Such q meeting was arranged
through US, but the distinguished
Eastern journalist was eager to
get, in advance, an inkling OF what
manner of man he was to meet and
he questioned us at length about
the Cobb characteristics. Among
other things he wanted to know II
Cobb had any instinct or predilec.
ton Tor beauty.
To this question we replied that
we believed ny had the keenest
conception OF beauty with particular
reference to the human athletic
form. In other words, that he was
quick to perceive artistic beauty
In the athlete and delighted In
physical perfection as much as
would a painter In perfect sun
set or a sculptor in q natchless
wood nymph.
Shortly after that the Tigers
were playing In Chicago. Ty and
the writer Of these lines were
sitting together In the lobby
when D young man entered tho
hotel and walked shout the lob.

Ty noted the grace and the
strength Of the young man and
became lost In admiration. He
could scarcely keep his eyes off
the stranger.

served Ty. IT would call him the
perfection of the animal man. Every
move Of his II AZ graceful and

properly trained nothing in a ply
steal way would be impossible for
him. I would cali him the perfect

Oddly enough the stranger was
seeking Mike Cantwill, a close
friend Of Ty's,- who had promised
to introduce him to Cobb. Mike
appeared soon after, drew Ty away
and introduced him to the ''pan.
ther-man," and the three were soon
in earnest conversation.
The "panther-man" proved to be
Harold RED" Grange, the seasons
greatest sensation in football and
the man who only a week ago
proved that he was, as Ty said,
capable Of almost any athletic ex-
plot, by almost alone beating
Michigan's great football team. He
scored five touchdowns against a
team that had been coached es-
pecially to stop him.

the day when he will be boss Of

Clark Griffith became manager
Of the Washington club beginning
with the 1912 season. For the
first time III the history Of the
club, it finished in second place.
Some time in February, 1913,
Clark Griffith, az manager of the
Washington club, was rendered q
complimentary dinner by the Car
dinal Athletic Club. It was staged
at Rammel's Hotel on North Royal
street, Alexandria, and was a
complete success.
AS this writer recalls, Tom
Fisher, at that time mayor of
Alexandra, was most efficient
toastmaster, and the kingpin
speech of the evening, really y
remarkable forensic effort, came
from Bob Barrett, at that time
editor Of the ancient Alexandria
Gazette.
Most impressive was the greet
ing given Manager Griffith by the
members of the Cardinal club.
There were little shavers in the
reception line who could hardly
restrain themselves until they
reached the principal guest Of the
evening and really shook his hand.
Their eyes were fairly popping
out of their heads. Very likely
few of thems lept well that night
on being shooed home.
Now It Comes Again.
ATOW another complimentary
~ dinner will be rendered by
= the Cardinal club, this time
backed intellectually !, by the
united citizens of Alexandria.
This time it will be rendered to
the head Of the world champion
Washington club and his fighting
manager, Bucky Harris.
Without knowing right now
whether the little shavers Of Alex
andria are to be permitted to
shake hands with President Crit
fifth and Manager Harris, this
writer is going to do his best to
see that they are in that line on
the evening Of November 20.
Sylvester Breen thinks a lot of
the kids. He ought to listen to
argument in favor Of their being
there.
Some Of those kids who met
President Griffith back in 1913
are young men today, but it's q
good bet that they have never
forgotten that night at Rammel's.
Today there are other kids in
Alexandria, each longing for a
chance to shake hands with Clark
Griffith and Bucky Harris. They
are entitled to do so, too, and
both Griff and Bucky will gladly
accommodate them.
You know, Griff and Bucky act
sometimes like a couple of kids.
They did on the evening Of Sep
TENDER 20 up in Boston and re-
peated out at the ball yard on
the afternoon Of October 10.
First it was the pennant victory,
then the world championship.
Can you blame them?
So, Mr.. Breen--no, not "Mr.,"
but just plain Sylvester, for this
writer has known and respected
him for years-cant you make
some arrangements permitting
Alexandria's kids to join in the
reception to President Griffith
and Manager Harris at the Cham
Der of Commerce

BERLIN, Nov. 22.-An astound-
ing scandal of post war initiation
and intrigue, in which beautiful Rus
sian dancers, Balkan government
and post war profiteers were mex
tricably tangled, has been uncovered
here.
Almost hourly, new and amazing
revelations are being added, as the
German government digs into the
graft and muck of initiation days.
The scandal arises from the alleged
bribery of Chief Walter Bartkles of
the Berlin police praesidium IS for
eign section, but already far over
shadows that affair.
The revelations show how mil
lions were juggled by post war pro-
f'teers operating on meagre capital,
how the profiteers were protected
by the police praesidium inner
ring; how the Prussian state bank
yielded unhesitatingly millions of
gold marks for doubtful ventures;
how the Roumanian government
was entangled in one of these
Schieber' deals; how pretty
Tamara,' the wonderous Russian
beauty, was used to inveigle Chief
Bartkels into the meshes of the Rus
sian speculator, gambler net.
The scandal involving Bartkels,
who had almost life and death pow
crs regarding permits for foreigners
to remain i'll Germany, followed
closely upon revelations of shocking
Irregularities in connection with
the alcoholic traffic.
Then followed rapidly the scandal
involving a youthful secretary of
the ministry of justice, who fled af-
ter embezzling hundreds of thou
sands of gold marks which he spent
upon extravagant parties of wine
and women, to say nothing of en-
bezzlements of considerable sums
in the police lost and found de-
partment.
Protected Russian Trader
Evidence thus far disclosed indi-
Gates that Bartkels protected Mi
chael Holsemann, a Russian trader,
in doubtful enterprises and for these
favors the police chief enjoyed those

parties. Bartkels also enjoyed u pri-

Holsemann i'll discreet little bank.
Holsemann,. after obtaining many
thousands of marks from Russian
countryman named Ivan Kutisker
i'll connection with doubtful deals
over stocks of war time railroad
supplies at Hanau, was denounced by
Kutisker. 1t developed that Kutis-
ker also had his own protection
soufces within the police praesidium,
but the most remarkable factor
about him was his easy access to
the Prussian state bank, which lent
him on flimsy or non existent Sc
curity at least twenty million gold
marks, some of which Kutisker lent
out at -exorbitant interest.
This Kutisker was the leading
