MFRS. FISKE has died, and a
N1 controversy which ragged for
fifty years is ended. There were
three sides to the dispute. Some
said that Minnie Madden Fiske
was great actress, while the rest
split as to whether she was no &C
tresS at all or a good one.
1t seems to me that the question
came into being because Mrs. Fiske
was a great person. That generally
tends to obscure the issue. Person
atty remains a fact more impor-
tant than prowess in any of the
professions.
At the age of 3 she became an
actress, and until her death she
continued in the theater. And yet
there was much of the stage which
was wholly alien to her gifts and
individuality. 1t has become trite,
and for the most part true, to as
stlme that the art of acting gathers
in those who find a peculiar delight
in exhibiting themselves before
public.
Mrs Fiske probably was the shy
est person who ever stood in
spotlight. The theater must have
been near her heart, since she
stuck so closely to it, but always the
pleasure was compromised with
pain.

Brass Brain" for SoIving
Intricate Mathematical
Problems, Is Nea0 Wonder
Of Machine Age.
THE ''periodometer" is the latest
a triumph of the machine age.
The machine is the invention of
DR.. G. G. Abbot, secretary of the
Smithsonian institution.
1t is machine for solving intri-
cate mathematical problems and
because it seems to the onlooker as
though it was almost capable Of
thinking, it has been nicknamed
the brass BRAIN
Mathematical machines have been
among the most interesting devel-
opmentS of the machine age.
Every one, Of course, is familiar
with the ordinary adding machine.
There are, however, more intri-
cate calculating machines which
multiply and divide as well, fur =
nlSn squares or square roots, and
so on.
These machines have come into
widespread use in banks, insurance
companies and many business or
carnations, as well as in scientific
laboratories and Astronomical OBJ
servatories. They are, Of course,
particularly valuable to engineers
and architects.
More interesting, though of more
specialized uses, are the still more
intricate machines. A number Of
these deal with periodical phe-
nomena where the result sought is
the total effect of a number of fac
tors.
All the factors are operating
regularly or periodically but with
different time periods. The total
effect therefore is itself an involved
cycle.

We share the apparent disappointment of Norris

that this failure has been due to the mistaken policies

Moreover, the league has been handicapped by
the absence and refusal of the United States to

While insisting that the league as an institution

MOT only the aggreSsiveness of

trast to the tinid, vacillating policy
pursued by occidental countries.
One is puzzled to know whether
our statesmen fail to realize what
this upheaval presages, or whether
they don't care.
Certainly, they have allowed their
solemn declarations to be brushed
aside in such a way as staggers the
imagination.

which the hillsides of northern
France we're whitened by acres Of

was supposed to be a clearing house

Above all else, where is that nine

Speaking OF Morticians

The Chicago Tribune has barred the word "rnorti-
clan" from its columns.
This decree" says the Tribune, "goes forth not
for lack of sympathy with the ambition of under
takers to be well regarded but because of it.
eff they haven't the sense to save themselves from
their photographers, we shall not be guilty of
abetting them in their folly"
The word "mortician' was mistake. 1t is no i'm
provement over undertaken" which was a euphemism
from the beginning, and not unpleasant one: zone
who undertakes to manage funeral"
Mortician," being derived from the Latin word for
death, is not successful euphemism. Like 'reator
which had a similar purpose, the word "mortcian'
has not been accepted with the seriousness with which
it was offered.
The ethical ideals which created the desire for
these words probably will have longer life than
the words which have expressed them inadequately.

Brooklyn Youngster, Used as
PinCh-Hitter, Hit Six
HOmers in Pinches
WAIVER DOUBLE CHAMPION
O'Doul, Critz, BartelI and Terry
Other Leaders Among
National Hitters

New York, Dec. z7-(Pp-Although
Frank ODoul, Brooklyn'S Portside
outfielder, won the National Leagues
1882 batting championship by the
proverbial mile, it was his team mate
John Henry Frederick, and young
Charles Herbert Klein Of Philadelphia
who really showed the boys how TO
paste the pellet.
Frederick who did most of his work
as pinch hitter. created a complete
upheaval in the records for that kind
of batting by hitting home runs in six
different pinches. The old major
league record was three. held by Ham,
ilton Hyatt of the 1913 Pittsburgh Pr
rates, Fred Williams of the 1928 Phil
lies, and Clifford Crawford Of the 1927
New York Giants.
Klein'S batting average of .348 was
good only for third place, 20 points
behind O'Doul and two behind Bill
Terry, the Giants clouting manager,
but he drove his hits to all corners
of the lot to mop up the seasons long
hitting honors and then, just to show
his versatility. captured the leagues
cStcS -olSolAllS, 1lciIoio "AIiA ~ tAlNAN
In four full seasons in the majors,
Klein never has made fewer than 100
runs and 200 hits and only once did he
fail to make his blows good for more
than 400 bases. His total base mark
of 420 for 1882 enabled him to equal
the major league record set by Lou
Gehrig of reaching that level in three
seasons.
Chuck's batting record for the sea-
son ran this way: Runs, 152, first
place: hits, 226, first place; total bases,
400, first place; doubles, so, second
place; triples. Is, third place; home
runs, 38, tie for first.
One of the few hitters to lead Klein
in any department, Paul Waner of
Pittsburgh, set new league record
for doubles as he hit G. to lead for the
year and displace Klein'S 1880 mark
of SO. Babe Herman Of Cincinnati
with 10 triples and Gus Suhr of Pitts
burgh with Is also managed to finish
ahead of the Philadelphia while Mel
OFT of the Giants shared the home
run lead. Terry gave Klein a close
race in the hit column, finishing one
behind.
In addition to winning the batting
championship with his 1868 mark. 10
points above the 1881 titular level
when Terry, Chick Hafey and Jim
Bottomley of the st. Louis Cardinals
finished in virtual tie, O'Doul made
the greatest number of singles, 153.
Hughey Critz of the Giants had the
most times at bat, $50, and Dick Bar
tell of Philadelphia topped the sacrl-
flee column with So.
Terry added to the record list by
hitting six homers in four consecutive
games during April, tying the major
league marx held by Klein, Babe Ruth
of the Yankees, and Ken Williams Of
the Browns.
Two new marks appeared in the
club batting records as the Phillies
finished on top with .292 mark. The
league as a whole made new high
record of 43,763 times at bat and the
Giants hit the all-time low of 40
sacrifices, 10 lower than their mark
for 1881, the first season after the sa-
crifice fly was ruled out.

Johnny Gilbert Has Ridden 2O8
Winners This Season.;
Noses Out Mills

New Orleans, Dec. 27.-(P)-Johnny
Gilbert has set up new modern
record for American jockeys.
The cool, stolid youngster from
PittSburg, Kan, hung up. a triple at
Jefferson park Monday and ran his
total winners for the season to 208,
the best mark any American riding
star has achieved since Vincent Pow
ers rode 324 in 1908.
Until Gilbert flashed under the
wire with Jack Biener in the sixth
race to complete his triple, the POT
winners l.. Hardy booted home in
1927 stood as the modern record.
Gilbert now has distanced his lit
tie rival, Hank Mills, and is virtual
certainty to clinch riding honors tor
the year. Mills, with 1874 winners to
date, would have to ride triple on
each of the five remaining racing
days to catch up, assuming Gilbert
failed to add to his present total.
And thus, to all intents and pur-
poses, ends one of the greatest jockey
duels the American turf has seen in
years. On thanksgiving day, when
the Jefferson park meeting opened,
Mills led Gilbert by one. Day after
day, the two youngsters matched
wits and it was not until last Tues
Gay that the 18-year-old Kansas boy
pulled into comfortable lead at 1913
to 1872. Since then Gilbert has rid
den 10 more winners while Mills
brought home two mounts last We'd
nesday and has not scored since.
