LA Terre Rationale"
France, a study in nationality. by Andre
Siegfried. 1880. JU39Si14.
His analysis Is purely objective. He
does not try to hide the vices Of his
people and neither does he tend to ex-
aggerate their virtue. He says Of
Frenchmen that they are without IL
lusions and without hypocrisy and that
they are adult in their outlook on life.
No better example Of the products Of
these virtues of the French mind could
be offered than this, Siegfrieds latest
book."-H. G. K.

since the World War Is one Of the out
standing European developments and
deserves the careful statistical study
and skillful exposition which the au-
thors have given it. The remarkable
recuperative powers Of the people, the
reformation Of their industry and their
use Of the resources which were brought
to them as a result of the war are all
excellently reviewed. l.. Jones

Fire Hazard Increased.

Looking forward already to the usual
crop of Summer forest fires, California
officials have forbidden weather men
to use the small balloons equipped with
little lanterns carrying tallow candles.
These were sent up at night to find
the direction and velocity OF wind.
The little lights made them visible and
when the balloons burst the protected
candles would be carried along by the
air currents in their descent. Often
the candles were still burning when
ground was reached and many forest
fires have been traced to them.

the Oklahoma League, took him on to
test his claim that he was q shortstop
and pitcher.
There was quite . celebration in the
Martin family. Just imagine, $125 q
month just for playing base bali. 1t
was a happy occasion.
Pepper lasted three days as q short
stop. His fielding was the weirdest ever
seen even in the Oklahoma League. But
he insisted he could pitch, and he did.
He once outpitched Carl Hubbell, now
the ace left-hander Of the New York
Giants, and one day he won both games
Of q double-header for Guthrie against
Bristow. The league blew up the next
year. ard he landed with Greenville, in
the East Texas circuit.
Martin never will forget Greenville,
where he first came to the attention of
the Cardinals in 1925. An old major
Lacquer was playing second base, his
fading fast. When going badly he used
to drop out Of the game and put Pepper
at second. Pepper was so terrible that
the fans would soon be calling for the
old timer again, bad as he was.
From Greenyille Martin went to Fort
Smith, a part OF the Cardinal system,
and they sent him to Syracuse in the
old international League in 1925. Burt
Shotton, now Of the Phillies, was the
manager Burt took one long look at
the gawky, powerful youngster, playing

"All right" said hickey, "lets not

And the base ball world has some
slight suspicion today that hickey was
right.

Chips From the Mapleways
BY Francis E. Stan,

the Lucky Strikers were forced to shoot
better than 900 sets, denoting a de-
cided lack Of that talent which made
them one Of the most famous teams
In the District and the East-the ability
to produce money" scores.
There has been q noticeable lack Of
consistency In the rolling Of this team.
Weidman, DAILY. McPhilomy, Clark and
Campbell, all are around the top as far
as individual averages are concerned,
but the team Is f1oundering.
Yet Lucky Strike is not alone in It's
predicament. Rendezvous, Hyattsville
and the Fountain Hams, all figured to
be In the pennant fight, are tied for
the next to last place with wins In
games apiece. Either the favoriteS took
a little too much for granted, cannot
hit their true stride, or the so-called
weak sisters" are neither weak nor
sisters, appears to be the case.
WASHINGTON now is 100 per cent
w a duckpin city. When the an
nual tenptn tournament of the
American Ice Co. was done away with
last year it marked the finish OF ten
pin bowling In the District, for the only
league which used the tall pins and 16-
pound balls, the American Ice Co.
League, has changed this season to e
duckpin league.
The ice boys are having their strug-
giles with the new game, but they are
coming along.
TWO sweepstakes events will be held
i today. The regular afternoon
stakes at the Lucky Strike and the
evening battle at the King Pin, now at
Eighth and E streets.
Both are open sweepstakes, with the
same entry fee, $3.50, including the
games.

ut. LOUIS, October l0.-John
Pepper Martin knows that he Il
q fine outfielder. He knows that
he can hit. field and run bases.
But he Is absolutely certain that an
even greater pitcher was wasted when
big league managers converted him to
center field.
Il could handcuff these guys" he in
sists. What a fast ball had, what
q curve! Gee, I'd like to be . big
league pitcher"
Perhaps it isn't generally known that
Pepper. the hitting, base-running,
glamorous Cardinal hero Of the world
series, broke into base ball as a right
handed pitcher. And he almost passed
out Of it for good as a second baseman
and shortStop.
That was way back In his Oklahoma
days. You see Pepper was born 81 years
ago In Temple, Okla, down near the
, Texas border, but his father, some
thing Of politician, got a job in the
capital at Oklahoma City and moved
the family there. Pepper always will
know that his father was a great man
and parsonage in politics.
Il heard him make a speech once"
he says, land honest, he was good"
But when it came to playing base
ball, which Pepper loves above every
thing else in the world, perhaps, except
hunting, Oklahoma City offered him
little. He was 10 when he lost his Job
as assistant nneman with an electric
light and power company for going off
duck hunting and, Of course, with his
job he lost his place on the company
ball team.
Some one suggested that he try pro
ball, but Pepper couldn't see where he
was good enough for that. But 1t was
worth try. He had little liking for

HEAVY PRINCIPALS
BOXING MYSTERIES
Fight Monday Is Expected
TO Settle Ratings of Primo
and Jack.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

"A JEW YORK, October 10.-1t
M may be a fight for the
Y Am eric n heavyweight
championship" to the pro-
moter, but to the experts the
forthcoming scrap between Primo
Camera and Jack Sharkey seems
more like the battle Of the twin
enigmas."
Certainly Promoter Jimmy john
ston might have looked far and
VIDE without discovering two other
heavyweights over whose capabili-
ties such violent and widespread
controversy has arisen.
Their 15-round duel in Ebbets Field,
Brooklyn, Monday night should settle
once and for all just what right Sharkey
has to his position of permanent out
standing contender" BY the same
token, the bout should decide definitely
Cameras status among the heavy
weights.
Sharkey has been the prize mystery
man OF the boxing industry ever since
he was knocked out by Jack Dempsey
IN 1927. He knocked out Jack Delaney
IN one round and Tommy Loughran
and Phil Scott in three and gained de-
clslons over Young Stribling an K. o.
Christner.
But against these items on the credit
SIDE OF the ledger was his sad draw with
Tom Heeney, his defeat by Johnny
Rlsko, the foul controversy surrounding
his victory over Scott his defeat by
Max Schmeling on a foul last year and
his recent draw with the oVergroWn
middleweight, Mickey Walker.
He has been the most inconsistent of
all the heavyweights and one of the
most unpopular. Another defeat should
remove him from the heavyweight pic
ture, but Sharkey, in the past, has had
dlsconcerting habit of bouncing right
up again just when the critics had him
down and out.
AS for Camera, many close observers
have put him down in the book as q
freak OF no real fighting ability
There has been widespread succession
of rumors of arranged" bouts which
the mammoth Italian has won in short
order, and some of the boys still re-
member that Primo got no better than
an even break in two bouts with Jimmy
Maloney and never came close to up
setting the fragile Boston heavyweight
Stribling proved in Europe that the big
italian, despite his 270 pounds, could
be floored.
Friends Of Camera maintain that the
italian has come along fast in the last
year and that he now is a match for
any heavyweight in the game
The betting odds favor Sharkey at 6
to 5. Estimates of the probable attend
ance vary from $4,000 to 10000.

CATHOLIC U. ROUTS
GALLAUDET, 91.0
Blues Prove No Match for Their
Heavier and More Experienced
Opponents.

GAllaudet's lighter and less exper-
fenced foot ball eleven was no match
for the Catholic University team as the
Cardinals romped TO q sl-o win yes
terday ct Brookland,. 1t is believed to
have been the most one-sided win ever
scored by c. u. eleven.
From the outset the Bergman coach
ed team scored Just about as 1t pleased
on the very FIRST play the Cardinals
won the game. Johnny Oliver, quarter
back, grabbed the kickoff Of Capt.
Bilbo Monaghan. Gallaudet's outstAnd-
ing player, and raced IS yards to score.
1t then was q parade for the
Cardinals who chAlked UP three more
touchdowns in the first quarter, two
more In the second, another quartet In
the third and four more in the final.
Johnny Oliver. Howard Calender,
Bob McVean, Tom Whelan and Bus
Sheary each scored two touchdowns
With De Mello, FraatZ. Jankowski and
Donaher each counting one. c. U,
counted "a first downs to just / for the
Kendall Greeners.
Play of Monaghan was the lone con-
soling feature from the Gallaudet
standpoint. Despite an injured knee
this tow-headed end, disdaining a
headgear, made tackle after tackle.

N YEW YORK, October 1o.-Old
nj Man Foot Ball, after several
weeks Of preliminary gestures,
cut out the fooling and buckled
down to serious business today.
There were scores Of important inter-
sectional and intrasectional arguments
but the undoubted foot ball focal point

Dame and Northwestern.
A year ago these rivals fought on
virtually even terms until the last 10
minutes Of play, when Notre Dame
pushed over two touchdowns for IA
victory. Another struggle Of epic pro-
portions was forecast after the Ranblers
from South Bend had crushed Indiana,

The International angle Of competi-
ton was especially pronounced In the
