REDS,PIRATES
Big SURPRISES
Preseason Is Upset
By Form Reversal
In National

NEW YORK. June 4.-RD-The
two big surprises Of the National
league race so far have been the
rise of the Reds and the downfall
Of the champion Pirates.
In the preseason consensus col
lected by the Associated Press the
Pirates were favorites to repeat
their pennant triumpn while the Reds
were picked to wind up sixth. These
positions now are exactly reversed,
with the Reds setting the pace at
a dizzy clip and the Bucs handicap
ped by injuries. struggling along in
the second division.
Great pitching and sensational all
around work by Hughey Critz al
second base have been big factors in
the Red drive. If the club can keep
i up and put on anything like the
finish they did last year part Of
the worlds series will be played az
Redland field.
The Pirates overcame obstacles 10
win out last year but with the Reds,
Cubs. Cardinals and Giants all fur
nlshing strong opposition. it looks
like a forlorn uphill fight for the
Corsairs this season. The Braves,
with Hornsby furnishing new driv-
ing power, will have to be reckoned
with from now on despite pitching
weakness.
Critz has been a contender for the
leagues most valuable player prize
several seasons. but he ought TO win
i this year at the rate he is going.
Hornsby and Frisch are heavier hit
tiers. while Frisch is also a better
base runner. but in zll-around de-
fensive skill most critics give the
palm to the little Cincinnati infield-
or.

From San Benito

SAN BENITO, June 4.-The
Brownsville Boosters, colored ball
club, continued their winning streak
Sunday by boosting the offerings of
two San Benito hurlers TO the far
Of the lot and came off vic
tors by a top-heavy score Of Is to 5.
The Brownsville battery of Stevens
and Shuts held sway throughout the
nine innings and with n bit more
rigid support would have let the San
Benito sluggers down with a smaller
score
The fielding star Of the day was
the Brownsville center fielder. He
played his own position faultlessly
and made incursions into the grounds
of his two wing partners to make
what seemed impossible catches.
The local club is working out regu-
larly and have recently made several
additions to the club that Is expected
to aid them materially.

Spring Green, Wis.,, July 31.-(N
Frank Lloyd Wright's "home on the
hill" is out Of the famous architects
hands today.
Taliesen, picturesque, rambling
villa, overlooking the Wisconsin
river valley, saw its owner in archi-
tectural achievements, unconven-
tional love affairs, and tragedy, dur
ing the years it was Wright's proud
possession.
Monday, with its owner in Cali
fornia and no representative Of his
on the grounds, it was sold to the
Bank of Wisconsin, Madison, on the
auction block. The bank bid $25, 600
for the property, on which they had
loaned Wright $4,000. It was to
satisfy . mortgage that the fore
closure sale was held.
The architect built Taliesen. or
Hillside, as it was also known, as
Eis conception of 4 perfect home,
more than Is years ago. It was
valued at several hundred thousands
OF dollars at the time it was con-
structed.
BI0meS Wife
Wright placed the blame for his
series Of reverses on his divorced
wife, Miriam Noel Wright.
Tragedy first entered his life
when q crazed butler in 1914 killed
Mrs. Mamah Bortwick Sheney, Oak
Park, ILL.,, her two children, three
other persons, and burned the place.
Mrs. Cheney and her children had
come to live with the architect after
their return from the orient.
Undiscouraged, . new and more
pretentious home was erected on the
site. and to this came Miriam Noel,
. Paris Divorce. She came to COM
fort him, but remained rs his wife.
Shortly they were separated.
Burns Second Time
Again in 1925 Taliesen burned to
the ground, and again Wright re-
built it. To his new villa he brought
Olga Milanof, Montenegrin dancer,
but their romance was short-lived,
and the architect, who had by this
time gained countrywide fame. went
to California to seek peace and quiet.
