TINE Cubs and Yankees are picked
again by the majority Of the
pickers to take charge Of the
next world series.
But two Of the main challeng-
ers were battling together in Q world
series "a years ago. when one Of them
sent Matty out and the other countered
with Bender and Plank. The old COM
bination Of McGraw and Mack Is still
big force in base ball. II any one
Is to upset either of the selected lead
ers, McGraw and Mack have as good
a shot as any one else-perhaps bet
ter shot. Both have good clubs ready
for the next chance. 1t has been 20
years since Mack won his first nag and
it was 20 years ago that McGraw won
the first Of his 10 pennants, These two
old timers have picked Up Is pennants
along the line of march, and that isn't
a spotty showing II they never win
another.
Two All Time Teams.
TWO all-time McGraw and Mack
4 teams would be two Of the great
combinations OF base ball. Something
to this effect: =,
An-Time McGraw Team.
Bresnahan, catcher; Mathewson. Nc
Ginty, Marquard and Benton, pitchers;
Tenny, first base: Frisch, second base;
Jackson, shortstop: Devlin, third base:
Burns, Donlin and Browne, outfield.
Time. Mack Team.
Cochran, catcher; Bender, Plank,
Combs and Waddell, pitchers: McInnis.
first base; Collins, second base; Barry.
shortstop; Baker, third base: Simmons,
Hartsel and Seybold, outfield.
Neither has ever had an outfield to
compare with that Of the old Orioles
kelley, Brodie and Keller, or the old
Cubs Sheckard, Holman and Schultz,
or the Yankees, with Meusel, Coombs
and Ruth. Not to overlook the Red
Sox combination with Lewis, Speaker
and Hooper. Or Cobb, Crawford and
Veach, Of the Tigers.
Picking the best outfield OF all-time
on one team is an assignment some
diligent researcher might work over.
Here are a few choices:
Cobb, Crawford and Veach Of Detroit
the strongest offensive trio.
Sheckard, Jones and Keeler Of Brook
lyn.
Lewis, Speaker and Hooper Of Bos-
ton-the greatest defensive trio.

Washington. May 23.--Thcre may

United States who are made more
comfortable than Mr.. Harry j. Sim
clair, but it probably would take
something Of a search to find c
One does not suggest that the
multimillionaire oil man ought TO
be given especially sever treatment
or even that the fact that he is a
multimillionairc has won him any
special favors. Doubtless if he we're

But it is most ~cm>l.atically and in
disputably rue that Sinclair is the
most pleasantly situated Of all the
500 inmates of the local hoosegow.
He isn't allowed out at night. but
if he is dissatisfied otherwise he
simply doesn't know his luck.
In the first place, Of course Sin
clair avoided being sent to ths work
house. He was permitted to drive to
the Jail door in his own car. instead
of riding over in a wagon with other
miscellaneous wrongdocrs.
Then he was assigned to what is
easily the best job of any prisoner
in the Jail. Instead Of doing his
daily chore alongside embezzlers,
bootleggers, petty thieves and other
prisoners his position AS pharmacist
associates him in a sunny, c%urtained
room with a pleasant young phys
ician and a pleasant and pretty girl
nurse. Aside from some occasional
pill Trolling. his duties are far from
arduous. Other prisoners sweep and
scrub. make beds or work in the
laundry.
Of course, Sinclair sometimes has
to stand by as general handy man
during IN operation, and operations
aren't always pleasant spectaclcs,
but he is not commonly regarded as
= squeamish person.
Both the physician and the nurse
have reported that Sinclair is a
mice man," so he won't be submitted
to any indignities by his immediate
bosses.
Having a white collar job, the
multimillionaire prisoner is permit
ted to wear whatever clothes he
likes.
His browning piece Of luck came
when he was given a special room
for sleeping quarters, near the Jail
infirmary. Other prisoners, even
the office force, are piled into the

But for once Pat Tarver failed his
daughter. He was so engrossed III
a close game Of dominoes with Den

smile for the distracted girl who
came rushing into the Ross "settin'

And as she stumbled into the room
that was to be hers during the week

Ross and to keep house for her, Tony
asked herself wildly:

do want something! Something l
can't have. something you can't give

what q fool I've been, what a blind,

Tears were crowding her eyes, SO

But even as she protested, she

big dormitory where their cots lay
side by side and where Sinclair at
first slept between a couple OF conf
mon and ~impccunious lawbreakers.
The oil mans food is as good as
the Jail provides. which is not bad
at all, according to those who have
eaten it. The detail staff, mostly
made up of office workers and in
Guiding Sinclair, arc fed on q menu
somewhat superior to that Of the
general run Of inmates. They all
thrive on it. The great majority OF
prisoners eat in a mess nall con-
tanning the electric chair.
When it comes to q matter OF WIS.,
itors, Sinclair again shares privileges
above those Of the ordinary pris-
oner. Whereas the relatives or
friends of other prisoners must talk
through bars or across long tables
with a jail attendant sitting watch
fully at one end, Sinclair has his
guests In the medical office. The reg
uiar visiting day is Friday, but spe-
cial detail men have an exclusive Wis
itors' hour between 7 and s on Sun
day nights. Sinclair, unlike the rest
Of this handful, receives visitors IN
privacy instead Of in the main Of
flee and the first one he had was
permitted to stay half an hour over
time. Except for Sunday evening,
however, only Sinclair's attorneys
are supposed to visit him.
In the pharmacy safe is a large
supply of liquor. One only men,
tons that in passing, as an inter-
esting fact, but the stuff certainly
is handy in case anyone takes ill.
Newspapermen r no longer
barred from the Jail, as they were
at first. but they are barred from
Sinclair as long as Sinclair desires.
There arc also many other COM
forts about Jail life which Sinclair
enjoys, but nothing in this story
need necessarily be taken as a re-
Election on Major w. L. Peak, the
Jail superintendent, who discusses
Sinclair's casc quite frankly. Peak
points out that the Jail always need
ed a pharmacist, that Sinclair was
the first registered pharmacist yer
to reach the Jail, that it was OIL
viously the job for which he was
most fitted. that Sinclair's new room
is handy to the infirmary If he IS
needed at night, that prisoners at
tached to he main office are per-
mitted to receive visitors in their Of
flee and that no one has any desire
to parad- Sinclair before newspaper
men and the merely curious.
Nevertheless, no sentimental per-
son need shed bitter tears over Sin
clair's imaginary hardships.

And there was the hole in the rug

HoHywo od Warfare Predicted
As Equity Extends It's Control

NEW YORK June 13-The most
interesting warfare Hollywood has
ever viewed looms on the California
horizon as the Actors Equity asso-
citation (stage players union)
launches its drive to retain control
OF those members who have deserted
stage for more lucrative camera and
microphone.

The controversy was launched
With Equity's ukaSe that all mem
bers Of Equity playing In sound or
talking pictures must not play IN
pictures except those made by an
all-Equity cast. unless the members
had signed contracts prior TO June
5. When these contracts terminate
the players are made subject to the
all-Equity cast ruling. Equity has
also issued a standard talkie con-
tract for members use.
