'Yis Shame How Unasl,amed Dogs Are!

NEW YORK, March SILT S
Just positively shocking, shat s
all!
The way the ordinary canine cit

country runs around unclothcd, that
is.
Will dogs rs u class never learn
the rudiments of modern fashion,
And begin to live up to thcm'
"Faucie' wonders.
Absolutely correct rs to daily
and nightly attire is Francic.
Morning frocks afternoon dress
cs evening garb golf togs, dressing
robes, paiamaS-these and many
more you'll find in Francie $
wardrobe.
Once year, at least, Francie
goes to Paris with Mrs. Sidney NJ.
Williams, New York social leader,
to rcplCnish her store of raimcnt.
Five thousand year it costs
but tuSh, Think of the money that
is spent on chewing gum!
Volta shame that more dogs do
NOT follow Francic's example.
Wotta shame. indeed,

Many Young Ball
Players in 1926
BY HENRY L. FARRELL

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, March 31.-More
good young ball players have come
Up from the minors than the majors
have seen for years, in the opinion
Of visitors to the spring training
camps.
Perhaps there are no Cobbs,
Mathcwsons, Wagners or Ruths in
the new crop, but there are at least
a few Youngsters good enough TO
get their managers thinking about
Ecnnant5.
Three weeks ago the New York
lanks were the laughing stock Of
the American League, club that
looked like a sure rival Of the BOs.
ton Red Sox for the cellar.
Now the Yanks are being con
sidered as a pennanr possibility b.
cause Tony Lazerri and Mark Koc-
mig. rookie infieldcrs, came through.
The Nanks also nave several great
Young pitchers but they don't need
pitching so much.
Pittsburgh, fortunate in discover
ing Glenn Wright and Xxi Cuyicr
i'll recent years, was i'll good shape
when the season closed last year.
The New York Giants, Cincinnati
Reds. Washington Senators, Phila-
dc!phia Athletics, st. Louis Browns,
and Boston Braves, also are depend
ing to i great extent this year upon
developing youngsters i'll their
camps.
