TODAY'S
SPORTOR||'IIA.LI..
BY Kirk Miller

Baseball fans think they have
real reason to be gay each
spring as the day for. the open
ing Of baseball hostilities rolls
around, but there is one group
of humanity in whose breast q
higher feeling of citation springs
and that is the ball player him
self.
Not that he is anxious for the
roar and din from the grand
stand; not that he loves his
daily grind any more than most
men love theirs, but that it is
on the first day of the cham
pionship season the athletes
salary begins TO register on
the books of the club.
Baseball players do not re-
ceive any pittance for their
spring training. They give
from eight to ten weeks Of their
own time to put themselves into
proper condition to be of some
real use to their club when the
action really starts.
A baseball players contract
Is written to cover the regular
championship season and the
world series if he is lucky
enough to be a part of that
suspicious business, but until
the opening gong sounds he does
not draw penny of compensa-
ton from his club.
All of his training camp ex-
penses are paid, including trans
portation from his home to the
scene of preparation, and most
clubs are quite liberal if not
almost elaborate in their inter-
probation of training camp ex-
penses."
AS during the regular sea-
son, teams live at the best
hotels available and in other
ways thrive on the fat of the
land. No stone is left UNI
turned to have the athletes in
the best of physical condition
by the time the season is ready
to get under way. Any other
policy would be false economy
of the inexcusable type.
AS a whole the training camp
plan, as it is now followed by
every major league club is a
very expensive one. The over
head is terrific and the income
from exhibition games in few
cases even begins to approach
the total expenditures involved.
Incidentally, according to
Connie Mack, the first club to
ever take, team out of the
frigid homeland to the more
temperate South to train was
the Washington club in 1887.
The team went to Jacksonville,
Fla, and Connie was a catcher
on this club at the time.

some arrangement by which d pint
of water can be heated without I'M
due effort. And, OF course, you still
use the same amount OF water SOFT
ener that you've always found ncces-
sary in your particular vicinity.
Let the washer run from FIVE to ten
minutes longer than you would il you
were using warm wash water. Drain
OFF the wash water and put in fresh
cold water for your first rinse. Rinse
right in the washer, running the ma
chine for about FIVE minutes. The ac-
ton OF the washer will help rinse the
soap, which is naturally looscned more
quickly by hot water.
Drain out this first rinse and put in
a second lot OF fresh cold water. Run
the machine a minute or two. The
bluing may be put in this last rinse or
one OF the new preparations, which is
combined with the soap i'll the first
washing, will be found very effective.
When washing the second and third
lots of clothes which are generally
more soiled, a stronger soap can be
used to insure quicker results. And
it is advisable to rub the very dirtiest
spots with soap before putting them in
the washer.
There is nothing new or extraor-
binary about cold water washing. It
is being done by thousands of women.
Especially in foreign countries, where
washing by the running stream is still
the only way of freshening-u the

But the two disagreeable features
of this old but effective cold water

water-disappear. of course, with the

PGthos And Comedy
In Chaplin Film

In "The Gold Rush." called

row at the Monroe Theatre under
a United Artists Corporation re-
lease, the worlds most famous
comedian is seen as a pathetic
tenderfOot struggling along with
hundreds of others who are in
search of gold in the Klondike.
Poetic pathos and whimsical
comedy are cleverly blended in
this film. There is one scene, in
which Charlie, bedraggled bit of
humanity, finds a sympathizer and
sweetheart girl in a dance hall.
She dances with the little tramp
who beams over her shoulder into
the eyes cf his rival, wealthy
miner.
There is Jim Mckay, a. giant as
strong as an OK. Mckay is enraged
and Charlie trembles as the big
man menaces him. The little man
thinks after all that death is bet
ter than the loss of the queen of
the danee-hall.
To have the right types in
Truckee in Northern California,
where many scenes of this picture
were produced, Chaplin took out
a special tTainload of hoboes with
well-seared countenances> and tat
tered clothes.
In several sequences it seems
an endless line of ragged humanity
that is crossing the Chilkoot Pass.
A blizzard RACES and men are
blown about helplessly. They
fight on doggedly, as this winding
path cut through the SHOWS over a
precipitous mOuntainside, is the
gateway TO their goal, the Klon-
dixie.
Then in another stretch there
is Black Larsen, who lives in ter
ror OF the police. He builds hut
in the Alaska mountains and lives
as a hermit amid snow and ice. To
this hut comes the pathetic Chap
lin. He knocks at the door for a
rest before plodding along to the
land Of gold. Larsen does not
care who starves, as he is not
going to take any CHANGES Of the
police apprehending him.
The scenes aboard big steam
ship are full of human interest.
The luxury and comfort of the
first cabin are cOntrasted with the
misery, want and sickness in the
steerage. There is the little man,
who a few years before went on
the long hike TO the Klondike, and
who now aboard the great vessel,
is seen wrapped in costly furs. He
Is unhappy because he has lost his
girl. But in the steerage there is
