CROWNS HALTED MATS

Baseball is funny old game in that
it so often refuses to run true to the
advance dope and past performance
chart.
When the Washington club recently
invaded the west for it's second tour of
that end of the circuit, the team had
a winning streak of 10 straight games
that was finally shattered by the
Yankees.
Playing Cleveland first in the west,
washington returned to it's winning
ways by taking six straight from the
Indians, then came one out of three
from Detroit and four out of five from
Chicago. With only St. Louis to be
visited and the Browns playing poorly,
the Nationals seemed certain to return
home with the best road record in
years.
Then came the unexpected - three
straight defeats at the hands of the
loWly Browns, who had just been trim
med four straight by New York. To
make matters worse, two pitchers dis
carded by Washington-Crowder and
Ballou-scored two Of the three wins.
Simply proving there are no soft.
spots in a major league schedule
no matter how poorly certain
club may be going.
SOX PARK REDUCES HITS
What part does ball park play in
the making of 300 or better batting
averages? On the surface that may
sound like a rather foolish question,
vet in reality it is a most logical one.
American league ball players are
agreed that the Chicago park is the
most difficult one in the circuit in
which to gather base hits
While the park is an excellent one to
see on, there is always a stiff wind
blowing in from center field. This, OF
course, gives an added advantage to
the pitcher and handicapS the batter
by preventing him from getting dis
tance.
The White Sox players suffer most
from this condition because they play
IT games at home.
"Playing n games on the White Sox
park during the season just about
erases 25 points from every regular
Chicago players average" said Babe
Ruth after a recent four-game series
in that city. "You can't get distance
hitting into such wind as is usually
blowing into the batter's face"
am inclined to think RUths'
estimate fairly conservative. Per-
haps that is one Of the many rea-
sons why various White SOx teams
have been known as the ''HitIess
Wonders"

BILLY EVANS SAYS:
EExPLAIN 8 THIS ONE


With ball players of major league
caliber mighty scarce, I have often
marveled how highly capable perform
ers are allowed to drift to the minors.
I have in mind Gene Robertson, who
for the past six years has played util-
ity infield roles for the st. Louis
Browns with great credit.
For some reason waivers were asked
on Robertson last winter. How all the
major league clubs waived on him is
beyond me, but apparently they did,
and Robertson was sent to st. Paul in
the American Association.
The other day I had chat with
four members of the staff of umpires
of that league and when asked them
who was the best ball player in the
organization there came the unanl-
nous reply:
Gene Robertson.
In all prob ability some big
league club will be paying $25,OOO
or upwards this winter to acquire
his services for another shot at
the majors. His passing will al

Find Way to Grow
Hair on Bald Mice

Taunton, England.-Bald mice have
been made to grow hair in expert.
ments designed to discover a cure for
badness among humans.
To grow hair on mice is easy, sci
entists explain, but the trick was to
make the mice bald.
DR.. f. A. d. Crew, principal Of the
animal breeding institute Of the Edin-
burgh university, discovered that mice
may be made to shed their coats by
extracting certain gland substances.
Doctor Crew also says that by ex-
tracing q substance from normal mice
and grating 1t on the bald ones, he
has been able to promote the growth
Of the coat again completely or par-
tally according to the amount ap.
piled.
The experiments are being con
tinued with a view of ascertaining II
human badness may not be due to
the same glandular deficiency, and
therefore curable In q similar way.

Find $4,000, 900 "Rose'
Diamond; Arrest Two

Paris.-The famous rose diamond
known as the "Grand Conde," stoler
from the gem tower in the chateau OF
the Due dAumale in Chantilly early
in October, has been recovered.
The famous gem was found in q
valise, the stone wrapped carefully in
cotton. Two of the alleged thieves
Leon Kaulfer and Emile Souter, who
crossed flooded moat and climbed
into the gem tower on a ladder, were
arrested and are reported to have
confessed.
Two fences, who sold q fortune in
smaller jewels which also were stolen,
were arrested. Other accomplices are
sought The thieves got only 10000
francs (about $1,000. They threw
settings, some of which were Of great
value, into the Seine and sold the
stones to unsuspecting reputable jew
elers.
The mystery was cleared because
Kaulfer talked too much. One of his
lapses from caution was promptly re-
ported to the police. He was shad-
owed for several weeks, and finally
connected with the robbery and ar
rested.

WOMEN BARRED ON
"PARADISE ISLAND"
mo Money, No Trouble" in
Restful South Seas.

San Francisco, Calif.-Nlne Willing
| Robinson Crusoes, who, though young
are weary Of the turmoil of cities and
the babble OF women. are here prepar.
ing to colonize a new paradise Is.
land In the South Seas.
mo trouble and no women; no
money and nobody to ask you for
any," Is their motto.
The intended home of the self-ap-
! pointed castaways is Santa Maria IS
land, lovely bit of land exactly on the
equator In the Galapagos group.
The men are the crew of the Ecua-
dorian auxiliary schooner Floreana, at
present docked here, who own their
own ship, and, as members Of 'La
Colonia de Floreana," are owners of
the modern prototype of Robinson
Crusoe's home ON Juan Fernandez Is
land.
No ordinary sailors are they, but
philosophers, every one. One is an
accountant, another an author. A for
mer associate In the enterprise, who
later deserted, was q scholar and uni
yersity graduate. All are from Nor
way.
Each man has his particular reason
for fleeing from the society of women.
Three of the Floreana are divorced.
Two are married and separated from
fll-natured or unfaithful wives. The
others of the company admit they are
disappointed men,"
Then there are 81 men, ranging In
ages down to eighteen years. Thirteen
OF them were left on Santa Maria is
land before the Floreana came to San
Francisco q month ago.
Capt. August Christensen, forty-fve,
and Capt. Anton Stub, fifty-one, mar
liners, are the leaders and the eldest
of the colony.
They have, of course, the intention
of colonizing their island with addi-
tional people. eventually and reaping
fortunes in tilling its fertile soil. They
also contemplate fishing and whaling
enterprises In the populous tropical
waters Of the Vicinity.
The islet was selected by the adven-
turers first, because the Ecuadorian
government, which owns the 41 islands
of the Galapagos, granted them the
land, and second, because Of Its ro-
mantle history and isolation.
Centuries ago, Santa Maria was
Charles island, refuge of Pacific buc-
cancers. Only one Island of the Gala
pagos is now inhabited. 1t Is 80 miles
from the Crusoes' home.
