With a name like that. 1t may Grimm, new manager of the fs-an almost exactly opposite who was relieved of the Cub job.
 One of Grimm's sure-fire acts is an imitation of an fashioned shoosh Ehe merry villagers out of speaks German fiuently, having spent the early years of his life in the midst of a St. Louis Ger man folk songs. too, and sings to be a $400 banjo.
 Charley also is a magician of parts. He has several thousand dollars invested in trick para, phernalia. One of his stunts is to pour water into a silk hat and pour out wine.
 Laughed Way to Chicago
 He doesn't take life serious, it's too mysterious, to borrow some words of a song. If he had taken life that way, he might still be play ing for the Pirates. But Dreyfuss' club was in the thick of a pennant fight in 1924, and Grimm made the mistake of laughing. Barney liked his ball players to have jaws set when they were going after impor- tant money. Charley was waited to the Cubs along with Maranville and Cooper.
 He got along wonderfully with Joe Mccarthy. Joe didn't care whether a ball player grinned or drowned, so long as the net result of his playing was serious.
 
 All Those Things!
 Besides playing the banjo Butch" as some of his mates cal him, can coax pleasant sounds from harmonica, trombone, mandolin guitar, piano, drums and xylophone And probably a dulcimer, if he had one.
 He was brought up to become a butcher. But once heard him use the word "spasmodically' correctly. Meat butchering didn't appeal to him, 50 he took up re- freshment butchering in the St Louis ball park. He used to go out early with the players and practice. One day Connie Mack saw him and offered him a job.
 That was IS years ago." Grimm told me the other day, "and I'll never forget my first big league batting experience. In about doz- en games I couldn't even hit .100."
 The As sent him to Durham. but the Carolina Association blew. The Cardinals sent him to Mill waukee. Thence he drifted to Lit tie Rock, and so to Pittsburgh. Cheating Years?
 There is some dispute about his age. Charley says 1899 was the year of his birth, which would have made him only 16 years old when he first reported to the As. and 8 years old on August 25 this year. But then maybe MT Mack was only robbing the cradle. If you re- member, about that time, Mack was trying everything else, after wreck ing his beautiful ball club.
 Not only Is Charley a musician and magician. He is a painter. Legends of his artistry are con- fusing. Joe Mccarthy says Grimm once painted a picture of a sum- rise and the players thought it was Coach Jimmy Burke. Grimm says he painted picture of Jim my Burke and the players mis- took 1t fo a sunrise scene.
 Charley also can paint a barn. however, and in his home near St Louis he has lathes and a drill press with which he manufactures modernistic furniture. He is a good hand at decorating an inte- rior and says himself that he knows "the trends and influences in art furniture"
 That, and the fact that he likes artichokes, are about all I can think of about him just now. SHORTS

Next time you have the oppor- tunity of watching any leading pro or amateur player, take espe- clai notice of the slze of the club heads of their wo6s. You will notice that the majority use decp- faced woods.
 There are quite a few reasons why they do, and not the least i'm. portant Is confidence.
 One ia able to tee the bali bit higher using n deep-faced club and this alone lends assurance. The chances og going under the ball or topping it are reduced. The large face enables the player to hlt the ban win greater ease, though it wlil not necessarily travel farther. The distance obtained is relative t0 Che rhythm and power of the swins

KAYE DON PUTS BOAT IN SHAPE

Pilot of Miss England III Is Nearly Ready for Trip

London .(UP)-Kaye Don. pilot ing the worlds fastest motorboat, Miss England III, is preparing for his visit to the United States once again to compete for the Harms worth Trophy, at Detroit, in Sep- tember.
 Don's American manager, Wh- liam F. Sturm, arrived here just modore Gar Woods record of speed of 119.81 miles per hour. the mile in 12O.S m.p.h.
 details of Don's trip, which was the attempts on the record. Sturm ing that he was one of the most popular sportsmen ever to visit the United States.
 In the race in September. Commodore Wood, 1t is understood, will have new boat which will be capable of a much higher speed than his last Miss America, Wood will not only, race to retain the trophy, but also once again to grasp the record which has gone from one to the other at least three times.
 British experts are confident that Don will bring the trophy back to England, not only because of the speed of Miss England III, but also because there is hardly likely to be repetition of the incident at last years race.
 Strum estimates that the trip will cost Lord Wakefield, Don's sponsor, $25,000, apart from the cost of the boat and the wages of mechanics and others.

 That was years ago, of course. It was when Jim was 8 callow school boy, in Garden Plain, or Wichita, Kans. Understand, he was a farm boy, to begin with, born March 2S, 1906, on the plains of South |Dakota.
 He was a bottle bady. Drought up on oatmeal broth, with a little water and a drop of whiskey". according to his mother, Mrs Peter Bausch of 524 North Poplar street, Wichita, Kans.
 "I just took the advice of the neigh bors," said Mrs Bausch, when asked about Jim's babyhood.
 The father was, and still is a farm man. He farmed in the Dako- tas. Later he moved to Garden Plain, Kans-that was about 20 years ago when Jim was six years old-and finally he moved to Wichita.
 Jim was an ambitions athlete wherever he went. He dotted on de- feating the "big shot" athlete Of every community where the Bausch fanily-father, mother, five broth CTS and two sisters-took resi- dence.
 Brutus Hamilton, university, Kansas track coach, expressed 1t. "He won because he hates to lose."
 Jim first showed athletic prom ise on the Garden Plain, Kans., footbal and basketball teams. Be- sides that, he competed with his schoolmates in wrestling, running, leaping. throwing rocks or spear ing distant targets with giant sum- flower stalks.
 Then he entered Cathedral high school in Wichita. His strength and stamina won games single handed.
 They still tell of a game in Wichita in which Jim, hit on the head in an early period, played throughout the battle. without full consciousness.
 "He could play better without

his senses" said some of his old teammates, than others could with full sensibilities."
 He went to the University of Kansas. It is remembered that he worked for an insurance firm while going through school, to help pay his way-and that the Missouri Valley conference finally arose in arms about Jim's job. Jim was de- clared ineligible, and the rumpus was quelled.
 Then he began training quietly for the Olympic games--and' em- erged with the title, "the world's greatest athlete"

the future by w. c. Miller of this city.
president-elect of the National ASso-
citation Of Real Estate Boards.
Confidence that this would be one
of the developments of the near future
was expressed by Mr.. Miller in brief
talk this week at a testimonial dinner
given in his honor at the Columbia
Country Club, which was attended by
nearly 200 local and visiting realtors
and business leaders.
The greatest opportunity in real
estate lies just ahead, Mr.. Miller said,
in briefly outlining some OF the devel-
opments now in progress or study.
Good Results Seen.
Great good is coming, he declared. as
a result of the extensive studies OF a
wide field Of problems associated with
American housing, which eliminated in
the Presidents Conference on Home
Building and Home Ownership last
Winter.
He pointed out the upper third Of
the population of the country in the
higher income bracket has been amply
provided for in homes, but that the re-
manning two-thirds have not. He said
a third of the population Is in the
81 200 year salary class and that there
is a second third in the $4,000 year
class. Past methods and conditions
have not made adequate housing avail
able for the two-thirds of the popula-
tion in the lower income classes, within
the reach of their finances.
This should be done, he declared, ex-
pressing the belief that new develop
ments are now coming which will bring
low-cost housing of improved type
within the reach of these classes.
Tax Enlightenment Comes.
In the last year or two. he said, there
has been an awakening to the evils Of
the burden of taxation borne by real
estate This problem will be met and
the tax on real estate lightened, he
said.
The creation Of the Federal Home
Loan Banks, he added, would prove to
be a great boon to the country.
L. T. Stephenson of Pittsburgh. 1882
president of the national association, a
guest of honor, alluded to the move
ments for better real estate financing
on real estate in a brief talk in which
he paid a tribute to Mr.. Miller.

MAKES SYNTHETIC WOOD
Modern Chemistry Can Produce
limitations From Farm Waste.

Modern chemistry can produce arti-
fetal wood Of types ranging from that
harder than teak to that which closely
approaches cork in all its properties,
according to a report by Prof. o. r.
Sweeney of Iowa State College to the
American Chemical Society.
He declares there Is no wood that
grows that cannot be made commercial
ly from the waste products of an Ameri-
can farm. This will prove not only OF
interest, but important, when, as some
predict, the time is coming when tim
ber In this country becomes SO scarce
that its use in the construction in
dustry is economically beyond the reach
of the average builder.
Cornstalks, corncobs, straw. bagasse,
spent lcorice root are some of the ma
terialss that may be utilized in the
manufacture Of synthetic lumber, he
finds. -
