The Nut Cracker

Kearns can stand lots of air.
1t is predicted that 1900 home runs
will be made in the majors this sea-
son. And not more than 1899 of
them will be referred to by experts
as Circuit clouts.
1t may be true, as Mr.. Bryan says.
that man did not spring from mon
key 1t is certainly true that
some men didn't spring far enough.
you are herewith invited to make
diction that Loeb and Leopold will
soon go crazy.
Scientists on the Mexican coast
report the discovery of a new olive
with peculiar flavor. 1t may
yet turn out to be an old rubber
heel.
One of the peculiarities about
Branch Hickey was that he would
never manage the Cardinals on Sun
day.. Another of his peculi-
arities was that he never could man
age them on any other day.
The philosopher tells you truth
crushed to earth will rise again. .

ers evidently are not> related in any
sense.
Because of a swollen toe Mickey
Walker had to postpone his bout
with Harry Greb. Your modern
prizefighter can't be too careful of
his feet.
We see by the papers that this is
the age Of youth but it appears that
fellows like Speaker and Cobb and
Johnson do not read the papers.
The average life of dollar bill

LUQUE AGAIN STACKS UP
AS GREAT HURLEF
Copyright, 1925; NEA Service. Inc,
Cincinnati. June 19-Adolfo Luque
Cincinnati's Cuban hurler, seems tt
have regained his 1923 form thi.
season. To date he has pitched
some splendid games. And has al
lowed but one run in his last l!
innings.
Luque, one of the Nationa
Leagues greatest pitchers two year
ago, fell away badly last year, win
ming but 10 tits and losing Is. Hi
poor work possibly kept the Red
from being real pennant contender
This season. however, he looks lik
the Luque of old and should COM
through to a successful campaign
At least, that's the done, .iudginl
from his performances thus far.

NEW CONVENT

Garrison, June 19.-The Benedic-
tine Sisters of this city are to build
a new home at a cost of $4,000. The
plans have matured to a point where
the structure is assured for this
year.
1t was in 1920 the present Bene-
dictine home (by the way, the only
one in the state) was built and has
been outgrown. At that time there
were but eleven inmates, who have
increased until they now number
thirty-four, and as parochial schools
in the state are built and there is
call for teachers here, by influx and
novitiates, the number of sisters may
be increased to hundreds. The new
home is designed to accommodate
seventy-five, but is on the unit plan
that may be doubled or tripled.
There are four novitiates at the
present time.
The new structure will be to the
west of the present home. That will
be used as a dormitory for the par
ochial school.
Dimensions of the new home are
52x8O, of brick or stucco.
1t will make fine addition to the
Catholic property owned here, oc-
cupying two entire blocks, with
church, school, parish home, con-
| vent and dormitory.

Billy Evans Says
PLAYING MANAGE

ANOTHER PLAYING MANAGER
The recent appointment of Rogers
Hornsby of the Cardinals to the role
of manager makes the seventh play
er now plotting a major league ball
team.
The other include Dave Bancroft,
Braves; Speaker, Indians; Cobb, Ty-
gers; Harris, Nationals; Sisler,
Browns, and Eddie Collins, White
Sox. Four Of the group are out
fielders, the rest infielders.
Not so many years ago, playing
managers were almost thing of the
past. They were conspicuous by
their absence. Virtually every club
in both leagues employed bench
pilots.
But of more recent seasons the
number of playing leaders has stead
lily increased until today there are
more active chieftains in the big
show than has been the case in a
long stretch.
And they have been enjoying
marked success for the most part,
too, as fandOm knows.
BRING FLAG WINNERS
Two of them have brought in flag
winners. For instance, iris Speak

And last year, Stanley Harris took
what was generally conceded to be
but fair ball club and not only top
ned the American League proce ssion
but handed the Giants a rude jolt in
the blue ribbon classic.
Harris did the unique in baseball

title in his initial year as manger
Moreover, he was the youngest plo.
ever to turn the trick.
Cobb has been handling the reins
Of the Tigers since the start of the

There are to be two ball games,
and it is a cinch that one of them
the LaMoure- Berlin game-will be
hummer! These two teams are
fighting for the championship Of La

Then there is to be street par
