BRITISH IN ROW
ON NAVY BUDGET
Churchill and Beatty Dis
agree Sharply on Plea
for Increase.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 30.-An increase
of nearly 100000 900 in the British
naval estimates for the coming fiscal
year is said to have been demanded
by the admiralty and TO be meeting
with resistance from the treasury.
Earl Beatty, who, IS first sea lord,
usually figures in political gossip as
champion Of generous expenditures
for the navy, has, according to re-
ports, submitted estimates of f65,-
100000, maintaining that this is the
lowest figure compatible with the
safety of the nation.
The estimates for the current year
were f55, 100000. and the proposed in
crease is said 10 be necessitated by
continuance of the cruiser -buildins &
program and the contemplated con-
struction of more destroyers and sub
marines.
Churchill Opposed.
The chancellor of the exchequer
Winston Churchill. whose business i,
is to Scrutinize the estimates of all
departments before submitting them
to Parliament in the budget, opposes
the admiralty claim, 1t is declared, on
the ground OF economy. He feels him
self well qualified to criticize the
naval proposals, it is added. havin g
been first lord of the admiralty from
1911 TO 1915.
Some Of the news writer's say there
is a sharp tussle between Earl Beatty
and Mr. Churchill and the Daily Mai
declares there is much speculation in
political circles as to what Beatty
will do il his estimates are cut
1t is stated that the estimates for
the army and air force, which have
been submitted, are also considera bly,
in excess of those for the current
year, and that Mr.. Churchill is prun.

OF CUBS
SUFFERS
JOLT

The conviction that the Chicago
Cubs are due to make big splash
in the National League puddle mas
suffered a severe jolt.
Walter Maranville's broken leg
and Charley Hollocher's ruined
health have split the center OF the
Chicago infield wide open. With
this pair operating around the key
stone sack, with Charley Grimm at
first and q capable third baseman
still to be chosen from several prom
ising workers, Bill Killifer had I'M
uuestionably the bset tnfield in the
business.
Most observers of the national
game are convinced that Detroit
failed to win the American League
pennant last year because 1t mad no
more capable second baseman tnan
rickety-legged Derrill Pratt.
1t looks as though all the unklna
spirits had conferred their attack
on William Killifer, otherwise known
as Reindeer Bill" who handles the
whip over the Bruins.
Charley Hollocher is one OF the
most peculiar men in baseball. He
looks healthy enough, but appar-
emily he verges on being neuras-
thenic. For years he has coddled
himself-convinced himself that ne
could not stand the grind OF base
ball.
Tt appears that Hollocher becomes
afflicted with nervousness, when
brings on attacks of acute indiges-
ton.
This winter he worked himself
into good condition and began prac-
ticing with the sandlot boys in 81.
Louis. While taking it easy ne felt
splendid. When he began to work
hard his indigestion came back.
That convinced him ne was
through as a big league ball player.
He notified Killifer that he would
not be able to play this year.
The sad part of 1t Is that Hol.
locher is really a great star-one OF
the best shortstops to appear since
the immortal Hans Wagner.

the time, who could turn the trick. .
On Monday according to Joe, via
Conroy and Kid Elberfield AFTER
losing two games, came to him as
l was warming up. They wanted 20
know If Cantillon had the nerve to
work me again. To which the
Washington manager replied: Yes,
If you continue working that guy

This was a Jolt to the Yankee
players who had tried to cover up
their tip-off system. Then Con-
roy said, i'm all seriousness: "f
YOU pitch that Idaho sOn-0f-a-
gun again. there amt any Of us

Anyway Cantillon started me and
we beat the Yankees three in a row.
They did not score in twenty seven
consecutive innings, and only one
man reached third base. Three run
ners got as far as second. seemed

my arm but when we reached

4 to 0. Jack ChesbrO, famous for
his spitbaIl, worked against me
which made victory all the
greater.
In the third inning one OF his
spitter's took a bad break and
landed in my ribs. I went to first
base and then to second wren Con-
roy fumbled a slow roller. I1nglaub

er Monday. There have been many
interesting explanations as to why
i worked those three games. Some
say 1t was more of a joke because
I was green and willing. But Joe
Cantillon explains it as follows:
THE Yankees had a man behind
the fence in centerfield tipping off
their batters on the rival pitchers.
I felt johnson could beat them sig
nails or no signals. and felt he was

tributed to final victory in Wash
ington's first world series. But that
did not add to any of my records.
Many pitchers have won final
world series games and in more i'm
pressive manner. In fact, pitched
but one-third of the game. and my
part in the victory was incidental
to the batting and spirit of the
entire club. Yet to me, that game
stands out over everything and
anything I ever did in baseball.
In 1908, when / pitched three
successive shut-out games against
the old time Yankees, l little real

Evans was the umpire and of
course Joe Cantillon was Washing
tons manager. That experience in
1908 now makes interesting history
and also brings up the oil question:
How much rest does pitcher
need?" / have always sail that
rest depends on the physical make
up of the man. When was young
I needed much more work and ex,
ira pitching was beneficial rather
than Injurious. / used to play every
position on the team during prae-
tice, to get sufficient exercise. But.
I was big husky farmer. Take
fellows like George Mogridge, they
need much rest. After pitching a
full game Mogridge often goes three
days without as much as having q
baseball in his hand.

Since this story started appear

end of letters from readers asking
questions of every imaginable de-
ecription. This chapter could al
most be written by simply putting
down the answers to all those ques'

The favorite inquiry seems to be:
Ewhat do you consider the best

1913 or course, pitching no-h!I

life. and l managed to get away
with it at Boston in 1920. Often

of the goal only to have rival

was my best effort in baseball.

big paw again, only this time he did
it purposely. Still Buster didn't

He gradually began to understand
that he couldn't waken Buster II he
tried.
Such a queer feeling as Jumper the
strongest Of all the people Of the
Green Forest, the one most respected
the one out of whose way everybody
kept, and he, the most timid of all the
people of the Green Forest, had moth
ing to fear. 1t certainly was a queer

Buster Bear was alive. In fact, after
awhile Jumper began to wonder II
Buster was alive. He couldn't have
been more quiet had he been dead.
Jumper spent the rest of that night
in Buster Bears bedroom. When he
went out the next morning he was
thoroughly rested and he was brim-
ming over with excitement. He just
ached to tell his friends how he had

The Spoiled Child.

What is to be done with the spoiled
child? OF course, the clever answer
Is not to spoil him and then you
won't have a spoiled child; that one
should begin with the child the day
he is born and keep after him until
he is married and after that, II you
would not have the difficulty of cor
recting him.
But 1t Is not as easy as that.
Homes do not come in neat packages,
standardized and guaranteed to work
smoothly for 25 years, with the prfvi-
lege of returning and adjustment for
the next 25. Life is not like that and
1t is a good thing It is not. Children
are unfinished products when we get
them, and all sorts of allowances
have to be made, all sorts of emer-
gencies have to be met, and many,
many adjustm ents made as we go
along.
The child is i'll and for months and
months must be waited on and the
rules go by the board. This one has
a queer disposition and balks at
every regulation Of diet and conduct
right from the start Another has a
sick mother who is not able to take

is born into a family Of adults each
of whom has his say as to what shall
be done for him. Some parents think
children were made to play with and
some Of them think they were in

upon their parents. There are many
spoiled children and for each there
is a different reason.
But what is to be done about it ?

HOW 1T STARTED
The "Mansard" Roof.
BIZ JEAN NEWTON.

We are all familiar with the Man
sard roof, which is constructed with
a break in the steep sides Of the ordi-
nary A-shaped roof SO that each side
has two planes, which makes the
rooms underneath habitable and elimi-
mates the useless garret found under
the other style of roof. Some Of us
have used the name Mansard root
without knowing the origin Of the
term.
The Mansard roof Is named after
Nicholas Francois Mansart, a famous
French architect, who lived from 1898
to 1885. At the height of his influence
Mansart designed most of the i'm
portant public buildings erected at
the time in Paris. as well as the IA
nous chateau of Maison- -sur-Seine for
Louis XIV. His work Is noted for its
classical refinement and purity of de-
tail. And one detail of his origina-
tion which has familiarized his name
these many years to people who have
no interest in the history of architec-
ture is the now popular though mis-
spelled, Mansard roof.
