AVERAGE S
SHOWART
HIT .312

Society says no, yet sports tOl-
lowers and some columnistS ap-
parently take the negative end
of the argument.
Consider The Great Art Shires.
Last spring he told the world he
was q corking good baseball
player. And though the public
rode him for his cockiness and
opposing players criticized him,
the American League averages,
will bear out his statement.
Shires Il a natural 800 hit
ter, with plenty Of room for
improvement; it is true, but
nevertheless a first-rate initial
sacker.
In 1929 he hit .312, above the
charmed circle, and put up a
snappy game on first base. Also
he developed into a good drawing
card and one Of the few live
members Of an otherwise drab
Chicago White Sox team.
There were many who admired
the Texan who wouldn't admit it.
And when, after a couple Of i'm
promptu fiStic engagements with
Manager Lena Blackburne, he de-
clared his intention Of turning
pugulist his Scoffers got q good,
long laugh.
Shires' boxing has been con-
Sidered more or less a Joke by
some, and he has had more than
his share of troubles with the
various commissions. Yet he has
not only cleared himself of all
charges brought against him, but
since turning pugulist has kayoed
four Of the five men facing him.
While these leather puShers
had had little experience so
has ShireS. And in all save
one instance he has dem
OnStrated clearly that he car
ries q WallOp.
George Trafton, a professional
football player 40 pounds heavier,
outlasted Shires in a bout that
went the limit. In four others,
however, he scored three one
round kayoes and registered a
technical knockout over Al Spoh-
rer, a supposedly tough honlbre.
His first match with Myste-
rious Dan DAILY, who tried unsuc-
|cessfully to describe the go as
fake later on, found the latter
slugged out in something like %
seconds.
Many pronounced Art through
when the heavier Trafton belted
him around, but shortly after
ward he slapped down Bad Bill
Bailey in a couple Of minutes
and followed up on Tony Faeth,
an amateur ball player, who was
disposed of in two. minutes and
a fraction.
''Wait till Spohrer gets
him." many whispered; hell
stop that fresh kid in .
hurry"
Well, the fact remains that
he didn't. And neither will sew
eral others who will meet him.
Shires has. most important Of all,
confidence in himself. And if
confidence is half the battle it's
going to take more than a mere
ham-and-egger to carry the fight
to him. That goes for anything
he undertakes.

COLOGNE CATHEDRAL

ter part of the 18th century that the twin spires were finished. The form- CT Emperor William l celebrated their completion. The cathedral is a strange combination of medieval and modern workmanship.
 Visitors marvel at the massive ness of the structure. It's main room is 13o yards long and JAS feet in height. Fifty-sIX staunCh pillars rise straight and true from floor 10 roof. There are almost innumerable statues, paintings and other works Of art. Perhaps the finest is the great painting of the Alteration of the Magi in the chapel of St. Mi chaCl. executed by stephen Iochner in the 18th century and said to be the finest example of early German art to be found in the world.
 Also noteworthy arc the five 18th century stained glass windows in the north aisle. which rank among the best work of the Middle Ages.
 II was 10 Cologne Cathedral that the kaiser came on March Is. 1918, on th" eve of th" German offensive thai was expected to smash the Al lies.
 A Dutch noWspaperman, who was present, wrote:
 There were only a few persons in tho building, Under high arches and in spacious solitude the kaiser sat, as if in deep thought, before the priests choir. Behind him his mlli- tary staff stood at a distance Still musing as he rose. the monarch, resting both hands on his walking stick. remained standing immovable for some minutes. ] shall never for get this picture of the musng mon- arch praying in Cologne Cathedral on thn eve of Inc great hattle.'
