Roush was rather a disappointment
in his former series, that tainted af-
fair of 1919 with the White Sox.
Despite the fact that Eddie Cicotta
and Lefty" Williams apparently
were not particularly anxious to pre-
vent hits bouncing from Red bats I'm
that series, few flew from the cudgel
OF Roush. and he emerged from the
series with the rather anemic bat
ting average of PA.
Douthit Is q player a little below
the caliber of Roush, Cuyler and
Combs, but he is fast-comng
young man and has distinguished
himself this year as a great defen-
sive player. He surely can go out
and get 'em. And Taylor is no weak
ling at bat. as he can show an aver
age of $40. In my opinion. the re-
markable Improvement In the Cardi-
nal play this year can be traced TO
the great strides made by Lester
Bell and Taylor Douthit this season
Cuyler a Great Player.
Should the Pirates crash through
to the National League pennant al
the last moment. the National League
also would be we'll represented I'm
the picturesque Cuyler--a hard hit
ter. great fielder and splendid base
runner-Cuyler was Il little late i'm
starting to hit in the 1925 series. but
1t was his double in that never to-be-
forgotten eighth inning of the seven
game which made the 1925 Pirates
the world champions.
Combs is one of the most brilliant
of the young stars of the American
League, though his hitting this year
has fallen d little beyond eXpecta-
tions. In 1924 Combs hit an even
400 in "a games before he broke
leg. while in 1925. his first as a regu
lar, he was the batting star of the
Yanks, with .343 average. This
year Combs has just managed to
stick above the 300 mark
However. he has made his .307 aver
age do lot of execution. and Earle
usually is in the midst of all New
York batting rallies. He is a depend
abe man in the pinches and great
man for getting on the bases. Though
he has divided the center field post
with Ben Paschal during the latter
part of the season, Combs has scored
over one hundred runs.
Combs is great man OH fly balls,
and knows how to play that stadium
center field, something which may give
lot of trouble to stranger. espc-
cially when the big stand throws its
shadow from a certain angle. Combs
only weakness is his arm, and though
1t Is stronger than the arm of
Whitley" Witt, his predecessor as
Yankee center fielder, it suffers i'm con
trast with the rifle arms of his two
outfield associates, Ruth and Meusel.
Ben paschal. who will play center
field for the Yankees against left
handed pitching, has quite a Kick in
his bat. Like Combs, Ben is well he
low his 1925 figures. when he hit 300.
But he hits "lefties" with considerable
vigor, and is surprisingly fast for a
big man. While he doesn't cover as
much ground as Combs, he throws
better.
Both Cincinnati and Pittsburgh
would get the edge over the Yanks i'm
center field. Should New York play
ST. Louis, I would give Combs and
Paschal a shade over Douthit

LIQUOR PATROL ID
 VISIT BAHAMAS
England Announces Change in
 Rum Regulations

London, Aupril 21 CPl--The United states government has been inform ed that hereafter specified American liquor patrol vessels may visit Ba- human waters without formal notice, provided a call is first made al Bimini to notify the Bahaman com missioner of their intention. An an- nouncement to this effect was made In the house of commons today by Foreign Secretary Chamberlain.
 This procedure was adopted, he said, because of the difficulties in the way of giving notice through the usual official channels of intended visits of patrol vessels to Gun Cay and adjacent islands.
 Sir Austen said there was no agreement with the United States 10 extend the area for operations Of American revenue officers to the Bahamas. The action taken was purely an administrative measure, in continuance of the policy embodied in the convention between the two countries regarding regulation of the liquor traffic.
 Sir Austen said the governments action was not in the nature of q concession for which counter-con- sessions could be promptly demand rl

LORD BIRKENHEAD'S
 JOKE PROVES COSTLY
Falls To Share In Vast Estate Be. cause Of Jibe At Sir Robert
 Houston

London, April 2l R>-Lord Birk. enhead, secretary for India, is cred lied by the English newspapers with having made tho most expensive joke in history,
 Birkcnhead was once a great friend of Sir Robert Houston, the wealthy shipowner who died recent ly at his home on the Island of Jer- sey, and Sir Robert was said 10 have made will leaving the bulk of his fortune, estimated ns high as tT,0o0,o0o to Birkenhead.
 The Houston will which was pro. bated in Jersey yesterday makes the widow the chief beneficiary. and the papers recall Birkenhead's joke.
 When serving as a member of the house of comm ms, Sir Robert. in spite of his advanced age, always kept his beard q glorious blackish- blue color. One day he made an ultra conservative speech which dis pleased Lord Birkenhcad. who in private conversation referred 10 him as "the only genuine dye-hard.
 It was this play on the term "dle-hard," which is applied to the ultra a-conservativcs inc newspapers believe, that kept Birhcnhead from sharing largely in the Houston for tune.

BISHOP SLATTERY
 FOR ENFORCEMENT
But Makes No Plea for PrOhibi-
 tion, He Explains

Boston. April cl P>--A plea for support of the 18th amendment as a part of the law of the country was made today by Bishop Charles l.. Slattery of the Episcopal diocese of Massachusetts in his annual address before the diocesan convention.
 "1 am not attempting an argu- ment for prohibition, Bishop Stat tery said. 1T am simply pleading that every member of the diocese, at whatever personal sacrifice, be law-abidinc citizen of this nation. A man has every right to work for tho change of the law if he believes the law 10 be unwise; but while he is working for such a change he is in 'duty bound himself to keep the law. I call upon every one of you today 10 show your love for your country by loyalty and strict obedience 10 the constitution of the United States of America.
 "If the reason for which a man breaks law is worth the ovcrturn of his country's government or the scvcring of his country's unity, then he has God on his side and he may do his disloyal act. But if, on so- bor Judgment he knows that he is not willing 10 run either of these terrible risks, then he must con- , tention for his individual liberty Is. He must be made to feel his re- sponsihility.
 "Whcn you look at all sides of the problem, you may admit that the l Sth amendment was enacted some
 what prcmaturoly: you may admit the probable difficulty Of enforcing such a law short of q whole genera ton in time. The two leading re- forms in this county have required moro than generation 10 bring them 10 success, Then you must
 honestly turn to the other side of the picture and think Of the possible advantage Of enforcing such a law for the safety of travellers. for the efficiency of worlimen both with the hands and with the brain, and for the ultimate health and happiness of the race.
 with such balance of reasons,
 you must sec that there Is a law which no man can break with the
 ardor and devotion of a crusader. Beyond this We must feel the sacred ness of law in itself"
