he suffered an attack Of pneumon-
la. Three weeks prior to his pass
ing away he was taken to the new

Portrayal of An Ever Pres

The irrepressible Mr.. Lewis
again! This time in an incompara-
BILE characterization of that boring
individual who infests the Pullman
cars, hotel Hobbies, Rotary and XII
wants clubs, proclaiming in stena-
torian tones his vices and virtues,
the attributes of his wife, "the lit
tie woman" of his children, and
his personal acquaintance with
the great and near great. Lowell
Schnaltz, friend of the obese
George K. Rabbit, is legion, you
cannot escape him; he is as newt
able and annoying as hay fever.
When the story opens we find
Lowell holding forth in a Pullman
to a group of defenseless fellow
travellers, on various and sundry
subjects, principally his intimate
friendship with "old Cal" the pres
emit White House incumbent. eyes,
sir, in fact I was classmate of

fully incoherently, of the shame
of his having to leave college on
account of his fathers untimely
death, his Incompatible wife, of
whom he says, "She's one darn
nice little woman, if I do say so;
been an Al wife in every way;"
of his business, 'the office supply
business, serenely unmindful of
the evaporation of his auditors.
Then we find him with his cou-
sin, begging for a loan to carry
'the most successful business in
Zenith" through a temporary bad
period, berating his wife, admitting
that he never knew Coolidge at all
and that he had left college not
because of his fathers death, but
was "fired for, fiunking," decid-

crying that he ever said he had

on about an imaginary visit to the
White House to see his old college
chum, "Cal," an amusing, weary
ing caricature.
The book is deadly boring, but
it must necessarily be so, it could
not be otherwise. Mr.. Lewis has ex-
ceeded his satirical genius in this
parody of an average man. His
vituperative pen drips imprecations
and anathema, his derisive irony
fends the air, and when the read

In the excitement over Connie
Mack's bold bid for the American
league p~ennant, the desperate battle
being waged in John Heydler's cir
cult has been somewhat overlooked
for the past week OF so.
While the Athletics and the
Yankees had an off day yesterday
before resuming their vital four
game series at the Yankee stadium.
the New York Giants inaugurated
their four-day eight-game series at
Boston by taking both ends Of a
doubIe-header with the Braves, and
thereby pushed themselves into the
thick Of the running.
This double victory for the clan Of
McGrsw. combined with defeats for
st. Louis and Chicago. left the Giants
only q single percentage point back
Of the Cubs and but three games re-
moved from the league-leading Car
dinals.
McGraw needed only two pitchers
to win the first two games of the
series. Fitzsimmons scattered the
Braves seven hits in the opener and
