LONDON, May 6.-Sir James
Renals, baronet, died in a poorhouse
at Brighton, while his seven-year-
old son and heir, now Sir Herbert
Renals, third baronet, was lying in
a ward at nearby sanitarium, I'M
dergoing lung treatment.
Lady Renals, who with her hus-
band had struggled for years to
make living and keep their home
together in a slum district of Brigh-
ton, went to the sanitarium and
told the new baronet of his fathers
death.
Daddy has gone to Heaven" she
said.
The pale boy turned hopelessly on
his cot.
II wish I could go with him." he
said.
Lost Fortune
It was as plain James Renals that
Sir James had lived for years at
Brighton. No one knew where he
was or that he was married. He had
lost a great fortune years before,
through unfortunate investments.
Too proud to seek help from rela-
tives, he had solicited advertise
ments and done other such work to
support his wife and family of six
children, the youngest only 3
months old.
Mother Will Work.
II do not despair. I shall work
and do everything in my power to
keep my children" said Lady Renals,
to intsFviewers.
when we were married, my hus-
band had plenty of money. One un-
fortunate investment followed an
other, and we went down and down.
1t has been q hard struggle, but he
was a good husband and good faith
er. Perhaps some day his heir will
come into his own"
The dead baronet was the son Of
b former lord mayor of London, and
was at one time q lieutenant of the
City of London, great honor. He
was sc years old. Reference books
had lost track of him for years past,
and gave his address still as in a
fashionable London district.

STRENGTH ADDED
 TO CHICAGO TEAM
White Soz Get 1921 World
 Series Keystone Combination

Chicago, Jan. 1s R1A keystone combination of the 1921 worlds ser- ies, Aaron Ward at second base and Roger Peckinpaugh at shortstop, have been added to the inf1eld of the Chicago White Sox this winter. giv- ing the Sox the strongest roster they have had in several years. From their own ranks the Sox have drawn 8 new manager for this year, one of the seven new pilots in the major leagues, the veteran catch CT, Ray Schalk. Coming to the Sox in 1913 from Milwaukee, Schalk caught more than 100 games year with one or two exceptions. He is one of the few playing managers left in the big leagues, and takes the place of Eddie Collins. who went back to his original club. the Phila- delphia Athletics, when he resigned from the Sox managership. Ward, who has spent his major league career in a New York Yank- ees' uniform, will fill the gap at sec- ond base caused by the passing of Collins, while Peck, obtained from Washington, will play short. Moe Berg and Bill Hunnefeld. two high ly promising youngsters, will back up these veteran infield stars. with Bill Kamm at tNird and Earl Sheely at first.
 Surplus pitchers and catcher were traded for Ward and Peck. but the Sox still have plenty of battery strength. Schalk, ready for his 14th campaign in the major leagues, ex- poets to do lots of catching this year, in addition to running the team as manager. Buck Grouse and Harry McCurdy stand ready to relieve him behind the bat.
 The pitching staff. headed by live veterans, has had few additions this winter. Red Faber, Ted Lyons, Ted Blankenship.. Alphonse Thomas and George Connally are the mainstays.
 Blankenship's brother Homer has been coaxed back for another major league tryout this spring. Bert Cole of the coast league and Charlie Barnabee, two likely southpaws, will be taken south this spring.
 The Sox outfeld also is unchanged, with Bib Falk, Johnny Mostil and Bill Barrett composing the regular trio.

VOTE FOR BARROW
 ID BE PRESIDENT
Ban Johnson May Be Forced Out
 of'0ffce on Monday

New York, Jan. 19-tPl-The New York World says today that the New York club will vote for Edward G. Barrow, general secretary of the l Yankees, to succeed President Ban Johnson of the American league if the latter is forced out of office by Commissioner K. M. Landis. The league club owners are scheduled to meet in Chicago next Monday with the Commissioner to discuss the Cobb-Speaker case.
 Balloting for the successor of Johnson, who talked himself out of 40,000-a-year job, possibly will begin Tuesday," the paper says. Five of the eight clubs comprise a ma jority.
 MT. Barrow was president of the International league for almost ten years retiring in 1917 to manage the Boston Red Sox, whom he pilot ed to a pennant. He became general secretary of the Yankees in 1920. Since that time New York has won four pennants in six years, the paper points out.
 The Yankee official has set two records during his 31 years in base ball, the World says. One is that he never has made a bet on baseball game. The paper relates that the second-his refusal to talk-explains why he would not tell the World whether he would be a candidate in the event of President Johnsons re- moval.
 Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 19.-P- Today's Plain Dealer says the base ball world is of the opinion that Ban Johnson will be busted Monday as president of the American league.
 Colonel Jacob Ruppert, owner of the New York Yankees, Edward Barrow, business manager of the Yankees and former Red Sox mag nate. and E. S. Barnard, president of the Cleveland club, are being dis cussed as Johnson's successor the paper adds.

 Then the old bean began to work.
 l started talking to Mitchell. Just because my left is shot" I says, try ing to muster up grin and give him a confident look, don't forget got right here that's good enough to smack your whiskers off"
 He blinked kinda surprised be- cause fighters seldom talked a lot to each other then. He'd rake me with 8 sizzling left and I'd act real solicit ous and say, LAW, gee, Jimmy. you don't mean to tell me that's all the punch you've got.'
 We'll, what with talking to him and him listening I managed to en- gage his attention enough to pile up enough points to get draw. I was never closer to an ignominious beat ing in all my life. I'll never forget that fight.

The Russwins to our way of thinking, are the steadiest team in the league. but last night the entire quintet was off on foul shooting.
