to consider the advisability OF con-

Now that the st. Louis Browns
are in our midst, there is prob-
ably no fairer time to say. to
their faces that Washington is
BY no means convinced that the
Col. Phil Balls didn't get pos
sibly q little the better OF the
bargain in the recent trade with
the Pres. Clark Griffiths in re.
the tBallou, ZacharyB u b,
Tobin interchange
While Ballou hasn't been OF
any terrific help to the
Browns in the short preamble to
the real race which is ahead,
there is no question but that
Old Tom Zachary, with his
three victories has somewhat
overbalanced the negligible work
of Mr.. Bush with his three
starts and total absence of re-
suits.
Ballou was hardly calculated
to register heavily this season.
He was clearly snapped up by
the Browns for the future which
he holds. However, he has won
one of his two starts and is .
sure conner.
He is one Of the most prom
ising pitching prospects who has
come up to the majors in re-
cent years, and if the Griffmen
had been able to hold strings
on him they would have a GER
tain factor to figure upon in
next seasons campaign and the
next and the next and the next.
Possibly it was this very ele-
ment of promise in Ballou which
induced the Browns to consider
the winter trade at all. Zach
was supposed to be all in and,
as a matter of course, the
Brownies must need have some
thing real in order to part with
Tobin and Bush, who looked
good on paper but haven't shown
any particular adaptability to
this club.
This lament is not by means
of throwing any crepe on the
deal, but it is quite apparent
that Zach would be more valu-
able at the moment to Wash
ington than either Bush or
Tobin for the very reason that
the champions do seem to be
going somewhere, while the
Browns so far have revealed no
particular destination.
Bush is a good pitcher beyond
doubt, but he hasn't been able
to get going for the Harrismen
and TObin hasn't had an oppor-
tunity, for he doesn't fit In the
combination as long as Joe Har-
ris has his health and Joe seems
to be a rather hardy specimen
of manhood no matter how you
look at him.
Under the Harris regime the
Griffs have made some notable
trades, but this is the year the
deals should have matured into
man-power benefits, particularly
in view of the fact that the
rockies, while showing posi-
bilities, haven't really developed
for current utility. Joe Engel
has shown marked success in
the past in sending up men,
and he's not to be criticized this
season, he's just having a lean

The Braves batters fairly riddled

The history of animal life and human life OF
this planet has really been history of leaving
one place and GOING TO ANOTHER.
If you choose to believe the teachers of evo-
luton, who certainly have many facts to back up
their statements and theories, we were all once
somewhere back among the lower animals, and
at one stage we were oysters or mussels clnging
to the rocks. The first animals, whichever they
were, living in the salt waters of the ocean, that
made up their minds to crawl up on the beach,
AND GO SOMEWHERE, were real pioneers of
progress. Some of them travelled inland, some
travelled up over the mountains; some of the
reptile tribe we are told, developed wings and
flew up into the air.
And the strange thing is that animals that
learned to fly, whose descendants are the birds
of our day, never went very high MENTALLY.
The reason is plain Animals and men have
always struggled and used their brains TO
ESCAPE DANGER.
Our ancestors whether they were of monkey
shape, as some say, or whether they were print
tive men like ourselves, were certainly very
feeble compared with the gigantic animals
bears, wolves, leopards, elephants and other
creatures surrounding them.
Those feeble ancestors of ours WHATEVER
THEY WERE, had to use their brains to SaUe
their HUes. 1t lUas the constant thinking forced
upon them by DANGER that finally made them
rulers of the earth and that may eventually
make them rulers of THEMSELVES.
The birds, on the other hand, when they had
developed their wings had an advantage over all
the other creatures on earth All they had to do in
time of danger was to fly up into the air. Having
learned to do that they were comparatively
safe, they were content, and they STOPPED
THINKING.
And whether you take the eagle, magnificent
creature, or the soaring condor of the Andes, or

off, find what want, if I CAN, and if not,
will be no worse off than you are"
Days, weeks, months and years 60 by swiftly;
the older you are, the faster they fly. To little
child, the long drawn out days Of Spring seem
an eternity. To man Of fifty, Spring, Autumn
and Summer have gone before he realizes that
they have started.
Even young people in the twenties can look
back and realize how time PUSHES by.
It is all question of COURAGE. The aver
age man doesn't ACTUALLY leave wooden
raft in mid ocean, climb on a floating SPAR and
undertake to paddle his way across the Atlantic.
MIR. Coffman chooses this way Of illustrating
the idea that ANYBODY that wants to GET any
where must first of all MAKE A START. It's
all matter Of courage.
Courage is adversity's lamp" says vauve-
marques, who in the 18th Century wrote IAN Intro
duction to the knowledge Of the Human Mind"
much praised by his contemporaries including
Voltaire. Courage is adversitys lamp" That
was well said. And if courage is the lamp of life,
KNOWLEDGE rs THE LIGHT.

is different

old Greeks and they wrote it above their great
temple overlooking Athens. That's good advice,

GETTING AWAY FROM ONE PLACE

Persia and from Persia conquered all of the world
that he cared to conquer.

himself Emperor of the French and for awhile the
power and the dominating spirit of Europe

The man in this picture starting away from

not WHERE, might have learned his lesson from
Columbus standing on the deck of his little cara

than facing fearful odds and dying.
But the right kind Of man, young or
old, knows of one thing that is worse than
any kind of death, and that is to have it

And, unfortunately, the world is full Of
people that never tried, never "got away
from the post" as modern racing slang has
it, never showed the slightest inclination
to GO anywhere or GET anywhere on their
own account.
How many lives are spent as the people
on the raft in this picture are spending
their time, drifting with the waves and the
wind, waiting for something to turn up?
Our earth, rolling in space, takes us

1 have said that It was up to the
people of Pennsylvania to wash their
own dirty linen; that neither the
Senate nor any other outside force
could do 1t for them, but Congress
might, at least, set them the right
kind of an example.
Congress is handicapped by no red
tape or legal technicalities. 1t can
act on its own motio1s and without
being moved by more convincing
evidence than it's own opinion that
some member is guilty Of conduct
unbecoming his position.
If enough hasn't been brought out
to form such an opinion in the minds
of a few congressman then 1t is
hopeless to suppose that enough can
evein be brought out, and IL nobody
in Congress is ready to do more than
talk to the galleries, what con be

captain, or hired manager?.
