By WALTER BROWN "A. F. Feature Editorl

CHICAGO, Aug. 14-Art Shires is almost as good as he thinks he is.
 The chesty kid from Texas, who bounced into print with the boast that there were two ball players in the American league and Rith was the other one" has fielded and hit right along with the veterans this year.
 Calling this tempestuous sea- son for Shires is like referring to a tornado as a mild breeze. Arriv- ing behind smoke screen of self praise, he became captain on his first spring training trip with the Sox. Then he bolted the club and was busted"
 Forgiven, the 22-year r-old youth returned to the team and six weeks later matched blows in a sordid fistfight with Manager Lena Black burne. He apologized, but kept on talking. He now rooms with his boss while the Sox are on the road
 That briefly is the career of "the Great Shires" who headlines the lowly Sox cast. Among other things he claims honors as the champion tobacco chewer of the majors.
 Chicago fans who visit Comiskey Park mainly to razz the bush league upstart can't determine. whether his braggadocio is showmanship or naivete. Whatever it is, Shires is living up to his own advertising copy.
 Shires got his second chance at the first base job when Clancy was hurt. Locking on from the out side it appeared that Blackburne welcomed the chance, for the great ono was an irrepressible pest on the bench.
 Every time the Sox manager looked around for a pinch hitter

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 14.- Josephine Rue, American Associa- tion umpire, was taken to the hos pital yesterday afternoon suffering from concussion of the brain receiv- ed in a free-for all fight in the ninth inning of the Columbus Mil waukee game.
 A pop bottle thrown by a spec tator in the crowd rushing from the grandstand when the plate umpire Larry Goetz ordered the Columbus bench cleared of all players except those actually in the game, is be- lieved to have caused Rue's injury.
 The Milwaukee players protected Goetz who escaped injury
The Daily Alaska empire., 1929-08-14

Shires jumped up, grabbed a couple of war clubs and dashed for the plate. He bothered Lena every day to let him in the game.
 Whenever a camera man appears on the field Art busies himself near the lens, and to reporters he all ways has statement for the press"
 How are you today, Art?" from reporter will bring: Fine, and you can say what the fans want is more hitting, and I'm one to see that they get it."
 Once when Prudhomme, a Detroit recruit pitcher, was working Shires came to bat with two out and a Sox runner on third.
 Leaning over to the umpire. he said:
 If this rookie gets me out now he's a sure success"

Motorists Slow Down
in German Small Towns

The typical German highway is full
Of curves and sharp turns. 1t pro-
ceeds from enc country village to the
next, going through the main streets
of every town and hamlet where traf-
Z fic is frequently blocked by all sorts of
hindrances. AS villages are usually
only short distance apart, the time
for getting through them often nearly
equals the time spent travelling at
high speed between them.
Outside the village proper, how
ever, the road may be an excellent
one kept up by the provincial govern
ment. Inside the village boundary the
road becomes the main street, paved
with the toughest kind of cobbles but
quite satisfactory to the inhabitants,
who possess no automobiles Of their
own. -
The villagers wish to keep their
streets rough and crooked in order
to slow down fast automobiles and
so prevent injuries to geese, pigs and
chickens, and possibly to induce mo-
florists to stop in the village.-New
