Moundsmen Prefer
Lou Gehrig to
Babe Ruth

While Gehrig is the new
genius Of swat, the pitchers
still favor Babe and take a
chance on Lon whenever they
encounter difficulties. They
prefer to pass Babe. They
still consider Babe more dam
gerous than his younger adj
versary in the pinches. Some
times the theory works ont,
but on numerous occasions it
has proven poor strategy.
As the season progresses the
battle Of swat gets more inter-
esting. Time alone will tell
whether we are to have a new
reigning power or whether the
old ruler will remain in con-
troll.

Famous Painter Put
Heart Into His Work

In many respects the career of
Titan, the Venetian artist, is without
parallel in the history of art. The
span of his productive life is unprec-
edented. He lived to be ninety-nine
years old and painted steadily for
nearly seventy-fve years. This noted
painter apparently believed that no
amount of inspiration or intuitive
genius is substitute for painstaking
labor. A contemporary wrote Of him:
"He laid in his pictures with q
mass Of colors which served him as
a groundwork for what he wanted
to express. I myself have seen such
powerful strokes swept in by him
with solid pigment, sometimes with
pure terra rossa cred ocher)-and
this served him for the half-tones-
sometimes with a brush full of white
lead; and with the same brush dip
ped in red, black or yellow he picked
out the lights. In four strokes he
had sketched In a remarkably beauti
full figure. Then he laid the picture
against the wall, and left 1t there,
often for several months, without
looking at 1t again, and when he
wanted to work at 1t he examined
1t very critically as If 1t were his
mortal enemy, in order to discover
any possible faults. Then he took
away a prominence here, set an arm
straight there, and got foot into the
right position. So by degrees he
brought his figures to the most perfect
symmetry, and then he proceeded to
do the same with the next picture.
