go on as long Is possible and take
his rest later. He has been taking
treatments and experiencing some
relief. But so far the cure is not
complete and Pittsburgh fans are
much concerned.
Without Traynor the Pirates
would be in a sad condition. The
opening game with the Cubs gave
one illustration Of what he means
to the team.
He is a great infielder and his
mates have confidence in his ability

CATION has set a dizzy pace from
the drop Of the barrier and shows
no inclination to let up. Given the
sort of pitching they have had SO
far, the Cubs might prove one Of
the greatest sensations the circuit
has seen in recent years.
The latest victims Of the FAST
travelling Cubs were the champion
Houston Buffaloes. Just to prove
they had not picked on q cripple in
smearing San Antonio four straight,
the Cubs took a 3-to-2 decision from
the Bisons, with Caldwell holding
the Snydermen to five blows. II
was CardWell's second victory.
San Antonio finally achieved a
victory, nosing out Beaumont, 3 to 2,
in II innings. Kott, the Indians
rookie third baSeman from Cole
man, drove in the winning tally
with one of his three singles. Andy
Messenger vas the winning pitcher.
Dallas climbed into second place
by taking its second straight from
Shreveport, 7 to 5, in a dizzy contest.
Three pitchers pdraded Tor each
side, the Steers finally rallying in
the last two innings to take the
verdict. For the second consecutive
day both Starr and Holman hit
homers for the Sports.
Dick Whitworth held Wichita
Falls to eight hits and Fort Worth
squared its series with the Spudders,
6 to 2. Jim Riley led the attack
on three Spud hurlers with a trio
Of singles. Sullivan, Wichita gard
ner, gagged Whitworth for a dou-
BILE and two singles.
San Jacinto day will be observed
with double headers today. Wichita
Falls opens its first series at Dallas,
Shreveport invades Fort Worth for
the first time, San Antonio plays
again at Beaumont and Waco at
Houston.

CURE
CITED BY
HEARST

CHICAGO, May 90 (LN.s.).
Heredity and environment are
the two Influences which
cause crime. And of these,
environment is 10 times more
important than heredity. For
proper environment can be es-
tablished through education
and opportunity.
This was the message which VII.
liam Randolph Hearst delivered TO.
day before the American crime
study commission conference In a
communication read today before
the commission by Judge A. C.
Backus, of Milwaukee.
Heredity, Mr.. Hearst wrote, can.
not be affected, at least at the
present. But, of environment, he
said:
Hearst Statement
DE do not have to wait an hour
in order to be able to improve the
surroundings, the circumstances.
the environment, which is the Sec
ond great creator of character.
Mr.. Hearst's statement follows:
There are two influences which
cause crime-heredity and environ
ment.
There are two influences which
determine practically every act and
impulse of humanity-heredity and
environment.
I'VE cannot affect heredity; that
belongs to the past.
I'VE can determine environment;
that belongs to the present.
II mean the influences of heredity
are active once the individual has
been brought into the world.
There may come a time when we
will understand the principles OF
eugenics better than We do at the
present, and when We may be able
scientifically to prevent mismating
and the consequent inheritance of
evil or undesirable traits and char
acteristics; so that then, in a sense,
questions of heredity may be deter.
mined before the child is brought
into the world.
NOWait Required
But we do not have to wait an
hour in order to be able to improve
the surroundings and circumstances,
the environment, which is the
second great creator of character.
And when say second, l do not
mean second in Importance, but
merely second in sequence in the
development OF this argument.
ITO my mind, environment is
immensely more important, in nine
cases out of ten. than heredity in
the creation of character and the
determination of the career of the
individual.
I'm a previous article, 1 illus
trated what l mean by saying that
IL twin babies had found their way
into a founding asylum, and one
infant had been taken out of the
asylum by reputable family and
brought up in a reputable environ.
ment, it would in all likelihood be-
come a reputable citizen.
while the other. IL taken out OF
the asylum by a family Of criminals
and brought up in a criminal en-
vironment, would undoubtedly come
to think and act as criminal.

usual If a child subjected to
reputable influences should become

gathered on the beach to watch for
the return Of the two in the canoe
but they were out Of sight. Autherl-
