Explaining the English Race

being a practical people. we have been
doing practical things throughout our
history Though we are quite capable
OF responding to ideals and have real
moral sense. when you look through our
history--and 1t is no discredit to us--the
fact is that we have had to deal with
practical problems and find solutions:
| and It Is because we are a practical
people that we have found solutions.
| rather than the fact that we have gone
out into the world as crusaders with any
ideals we cherished at the moment.
We have been lacking in imagination
Perhaps it is true that almost every
race lacks imagination. But we, at any
rate, have not had great plans. think
| there are other nations that have had
much greater conception than we have
| of policy, and 50 forth. l am inclined

this: Without the energy of the original

done very little Without that strong
sense of necessity of order. the very

chaos Without the practical sense

| One Of the charges sometimes made
against the English race is that we do
not deserve an empire because We did
not plan it. We have found ourselves

advantage and where we have had to

Ruth and Gehrig Head for
Florida to Tune Up
War Clubs.
WORK STARTS MONDAY
Babe Faces Usual JOB of
Reducing Girth.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY


NEW YORK, Feb. 24-The
worlds baseball champions headed
south today.
Pabe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, the
home run twins, and three other
New York Yankees were to leave
at GAO p. m. for st. Petersburg,
Fla, to open the training season
on Monday. They will be joined by
Myles Thomas, pitcher, at Wash
ingtOn.
The eighteen other members of
the preliminary squad will leave
from their homes tonight and the
initial group should number twenty
four athletes on arrival Sunday.
Babe Needs Work
Outside of batterymen, Ruth and
Gehrig are the only two regulars
in the first party. Although he has
been exercising regularly in a down.
town New York gymnasium, Babe
has to take off a lot Of weight be-
fore he will be in shape. A rubber
shirt and the Florida sun are need
ed to shrink the Babes girth down
to mid season size.
Babes buddy and rival, Lou Geh-
rig, isn't bothered by any fat, but
the Columbia scholar wants to get
his batting eye polished up to take
a crack at Ruth's record Of sixty
home runs.
Three HOldouts
When the Yankees assemble for
their first practice there will be
twelve pitchers, five catchers, four
infeIders and three outfelders on
hand.
Unofficially, Earl Combs, Tony
Lazzeri and Waite Hoyt are classed
as holdouts. Another thing troubling
the Yankee officials is whether
Urban Shocker is going to pitch
baseball or take up aviation. Seeker
has announced his retirement, but
everyone seems to doubt it.

and it broke a record established
few days previously by Wade Nor

Three accidents marred the per-
