II have analysed the batting and
fielding averages Of the players and
selected the leaders based upon the
number of games played, their con.
duct on the field, and the particular
benefit they have been to their
club"
That in q nutshell IL the manner
IN which Geraci has arrived at his
selection which IL headed by Vance
and Gray as his pitchers; Cochrane.
catcher; Sisler, first base; Hcrnsby,
aecond base: Bulge, third base;
Frisch, shortstop; Goslin, right Held;
Speaker, center field, and Cuyler'
left field.
OF his team, Geraci has the fol-
lowing to say:
NOW we have Vance for o
pitcher. His speed and change Of
pace have made him . model In
the National League. As for
Gray, well, ask Philadelphia and
Connie Mack. Cocllrane Is the boy
who has been catching them all
and hitting all Of them. As for
the infieId, there would be -
many double plays IN q game as
there are flies in . Greek lunch.
room.
'nThen comes GosIin. who IL the
main spoke in the Washington
team. He is hitting .342 and field
ing with the best Of them. Speaker.
in the last fifteen years has won
himself q place in the heart Of
every true baseball fan with his
stellar fielding, heavy hitting, and
clean sportsmanship. Cuyler, Pitts.
burgl1's sweetheart, is above ques-
tioning. My team as q whole, ex-
cepting the pitchers. Is sporting
1854 batting average"
So there is Geraci's opinion OF
the best material in the two leagues
and on September s, when the win.
ners of '"Skillet's'' contest will be
announced together with Babe
Ruth's selection, we. will see how
near Edwards ideas compare with
those of the Big Bambino. whose
choice is the basis of this contest.
Geraci has . fine compliment to
pay Goslin, in calling him the
main spoke in Washington'a team.

Hug admits that he was a BIT
dilatory in rounding up reserve
strength. But he has seen the
writing on the wa1l-and chances
are he'll play the youthful string
with vengeance until the season
end.
And that, incidentally. is the
thing which makes the present
Western trip of particular interest
to the fans. A lot of youngsters,
signed during the furry of activity
which has engulfed Yankee scouts
recently, will get their first whirl
at the majors during the Western
invasion, and during the remaining
weeks Of the season when the boys
make their final home stand. Hug
needs catcher. two infielders, an
outfielder or two, and all the pitch
ing talent he is able to assemble.
And to get what he wants or any
portion of 1t he must part with
some Of the veterans who have
grown fat in Yankee uniforms.
He has made no announcement
of his trading intentions. However,
it would not be surprising to see
Howard Shanks, Ernie Johnson,
Wallie Pipp and even Waffle
Schang walk the plank TO oblivion
ere another season rolls around.
Not that these men are completely
done. But a rebuilding requires
youth, and veteran strength must
be attained.
Hoyt, Jones and Pennock seem
almost sure to stay. Two Of them
are veterans-but still going strong.
TIoyt, potentially, is one of the best
pitchers In the league and Higgins
knows 1t. Only the greatest stort
of "a trading deal would induce the
mite manager to part with Waite
despite his poor showing early in
the season.
Six men seem sure to stay as
the nucleus Of next seasons team.
Ruth, Meusel, Dugan. Combs. Geh-
rig and Bengough form the sex
tette. To the others anything may
happen. And only Miller Higgins
knows what Is gong on in his
mind. Higgins won't tell.
And 1t win be interesting for a
lot OF the veterans too-for per-
haps 1t will be the last Western
trip some of them will make in big
league company. Who knows?

NEWSB0Y MAKES
FORTUNE IN
LAND DEAL
Invests $4,000 In Property
and 1t Grows to
S500,O00

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Joe Vein
stock, former newsboy, with a CAPT.
tai of $1,000, has pyramided this into
100000 cash and 100000 additional
paper profits through buying and sell
ing property along the proposed board
walk at Rockaway.
When the board of estimate ap
propriated funds for the erection of
nine-mile board walk ut Rockaway
values literally scared. Fortunes were
made overnight. Nothing more frenZ-
led than the trading at Rockaway over
the weekend is ordinarily witnessed
in Wall street or at any Golconda of
gold or oil. The once desolate strip
of beach at tliesiback door of New
York is now the most sought after
real estate in the greater city.
Haggard men and women, too, are
fighting desperately far into the night
to make or to break bargains. Showers
of gold have descended upon many
humble home. The traders sleep on
their desks-if they have such articles.
Where an Oklahoma oil field or a
newly discovered gold mine attracts
hundreds, real estate at Rockaway is
attracting thousands and tens of thou
sands.
Weinstock's dealings are typical.
Three weeks ago he bought a square
block for $4,000 cash and assumed a
heavy mortgage. He sold it for $780,
900. He then paid $4,000 for an OPP
ton on seven blocks. He sold this
option for $265.000. Other big prop
critics have brought similar amazing
profits.
Confidence men have been quick to
avail themselves of the opportunity
in the scramble. One man reported
losing $4,000 on a fake real estate

although it is against my Wishes" he
declared when questioned.
The only thing that will stand in
the way of the new plan is the APP
proval of property owners adjacent to
the Alamo on the Crockett Street side,
according to Mr.. Lambert.
"If l can get their consent to en-
large the park I'm sure the money can
be raised. There ought to be enough
in the mayors fund"
If the plan works out satisfactorily
complete rearrangement Of the park
will be necessary.
The street between the Alamo and
parkway will be dug and rich soil
hauled in.
The palm trees can be moved with
out injury, according to Commissioner
Lambert.
The park will be sodded and flow
ers planted.
The petition to cut East Crockett
through the plaza was presented sew
eral months ago and referred to Com
missioner Lambert.
Mayor Tobin told Mr.. Lambert.

against the project, that the city COM

ropean nations to accept ratification
upon such terms.
BORAH SEEKS DELAY.
Opposed to Lenroot is Senator
Pepper of Pennsylvania, who leads a
formidable group, which will insist
upon amendments to the protocol.
Pepper believes the Harding Hughes
reservations do not 20 far enough and
that amendments are needed TO i'm
press the European minds with the be-
lief that the United States intends TO
limit the conditions upon which en-
trance into the court will be made.
At the head of the whole Republi-
can establishment, so far as the court
proposal is concerned, is Senator Bo-
rah, whose position as chairman OF
the foreign relations committee gives
him leadership over the entire fight.
Borah is in sympathy neither with the
Lenroot faction who want ratifica-
ton after rewriting and amending.
SWANSON LEADS DEMOCRATS.
Senator Swanson, who used to play
chess with Woodrow Wilson in spare
moments, will lead the Democrats IN
the effort to bring about ratification.
Swanson is willing to accept mild res
creations, but is opposed to any
amendments or the imposition of COLI
ditions which might make Europe turn
cold toward Americas entrance.
Swanson can depend upon the sup
port of practically all the Democrats
in the Senate, especially those who
revere Wilson and wish the protocol
ratified because Wilson sponsored it.
Senator James A. Reed of Missouri,
of course, will fight il just as he did
the League of Nations and probably
with as much vigor.
Lenroot recently ventured the pre-
diction that at least 20 members OF
the Senate will vote for ratification.
