u. S. Revolutionizes
Chinese Stage Ways

Los Angeles, GAIA revolution In
the presentation of oriental dramas by
the invasion of western customs has
been noted at Chinese theater here.
An American Jazz orchestra has re-
placed an aggregation Of native
stringed instruments and Chinese girls
are chosen to play feminine roles in
preference to male impersonatOrs.
The little theater on the fringe Of
Chinatown offers a further innovation
prompted by western influence by the
installation Of real scenery, backdrops
and wings, to relieve the strain on
the Americanized orientaPs lmagina-
ton, formerly occasiOned by the lack

Babe" Ruth of Minors
a Quite Popular Player

One of the popular figures in the
American association is Anthony
Dummy Brief, slugger extraordinary

several seasons Brief played with the
Kansas city club.
Briefs popularity lies in his ability
to swat the ball. He is the best home
run hitter in the association, although
he dropped to II last year, as com
pared to % the season before. How
ever, home runs are not his only ac-
complishment. Last season with the
trailing Blues he included So two-base
hits and II tripIets with his home
runs. His batting average for the sea-
son was 1888.

Fewster's Cracked Head
Did Not Bother Him Any


A few years ago the New York Yam
KEGS took south with them for spring
training a young infelder, Chick Few
ster, one of the most promising players
that lad come up from the minors in
years.
The Yanks and the Brooklyn Rob-
ms had arranged an exhibition series
in Jacksonville and in one Of the
games Fewster was hit on the head
by one of Jeff Pfeiffer's fast balls. one
OF the speediest deliverers in the game.
Fewster fingered between life and
death for weeks. Operations were
necessary, and his career in baseball
was despaired of, because oldtimers
say: They're always gun shy after
that"
Recovering, Fewster came back to
the Yankees and, instead of showing
ii i.lidity at the bat, he seemed over
daring an1 the pitchers were almost
afraid of him. His heart surely was
there and his courage never had been
weakened, but the injur- left him

returns on 15,103 farms, made public

closed an average favorable margin

increased inventories amounting to
$181, brought the average return to
$1,2O5 for the use of $17,260 of capi-

There is hardly any change" the
bulletin said. Ruth had a little
temperature this morning, but he is
much improved. Although he spent
rather restless night, he fell

However, It was added that Ruth

Yankee lineup until he had fully
recovered.
The hump on his head, which ne
