n YEW YORK, October 1.-The
N Yankees enter the world series
VI with a paper offensive Is bat
l. ting points greater than that
of the Cardinals. but with
much of this theoretical advantage off,
set by injuries to star players, who help
ed compile 1t.
The announcement today that Earl
Combs had suffered only a sprain and
not a fracture of his right wrist in
Detroit last Thursday bolstered Yankee
hopes as his $40 bat did much to help
the American League champions along
to their team average of 1895.
Babe Ruth, Mark Koenig and Tony
Lazzeri, who outhit their respective
Cardinal rivals by generous margins,
are handicapped by injuries of one de-
gree or another, and the loss of any
one of them would more than eat up
any batting margin which may be left
to the Yankees. Alarm was felt particu-
larly over the condition of Lazzeri, but
the signor gained his way through the
last three n:.cks Of the American
League seas Fwhen the Yanks had to
have him. I~iaps he can repeat in the
title series.

about the Cardinals ever since 1920.

Relocate Crossing

An order requiring the Great

has been issued by the state rail-

pany objected to the relocation Of
the crossing, as requested by the
board Of supervisors Of Kettke VAL

would be too expensive.
Evidence presented at . hearing
held last December showed that
several near accidents had occurred
at the present crossing, that it is
not on the section line and is ap.
preached by q circuitous route in
such a manner as to partly obstruct
the view of persons driving vehicles,
the railroad board found. Aso soon
as the new crossing is constructed
the present crossing will be perma-

Museum Book Store of London, Eng
land, from which place Mr.. Will
has just secured the painting.
1t will be remembered by followers
Of Catlin's career as an artist on
the Upper Missouri, that in 1889 the
artist took his collection of paintings,
as we'll as few members Of the ma
tive tribes, across the ocean for
exhibition in Europe. First show
ing in Belgium and in France, and
then crossing to England, Mr.. Catlin
exhibited his trdasurcrs for period
covering about II years. While in
England the artist made unwise
speculations, through which his
priceless collection became involved
and in 1852 the "show" was seized
for debt. Joseph Harrison Of Phila-
delphia, happening then to be in
London, rescued the collection from
the creditors and had the paintings
shipped back TO America, where. in
Philadelphia, (thc scene Of Catlin's
first attempts at painting) the pic
lures remained in obscurity until in
1879, when they were presented by
Mrs. Harrison, the wife of Catlin's
patron, to the U. S. government, in
whose possession they now rest.
Mr.. Will is now busy authenticat-
ing the work just received and is
reserving his Judgment as to the
exact time Of its painting by the
artist until he can confer with the
National Museum authorities at
Washington. The picture carries
the marks of its probable 80 odd
years. in the appearance of the oils
and the darkened pigments. After
framing by experts, it is hoped that
the painting may appear in some
exhibit of the Arts and Letters Club
