GUT OF CELLAR KORNSbY PLANS
 FOR NEXT YEAR
By KARL R. BAUMAN

ST LOUIS, Sept. At won't be Rogers HCrnsby's fault if the Browns fail to come up with many new faces for the 1885 campaign
 Convinced that his pre- season boast that the Browns won't fin lSh last this year" is safe enough low, the Rajah already is looking onward to next year.
 What do you need?" Hornsby was asked
 There are nine positions on a ball club, aren't there?" the Rajah .ome back.
 Hornsby regards Rollie Hemsliey, waived cut of the National League 1st year because he was too hard or the managers to handle, as the iest catcher in either circuit, but le needs more help than we can i've him right now"
 Our pitchers are starting, but hey aren't finishing," he con- lnucd. AS fer the hitters, they re troublesome and that's about Ill you can say. How many hitters do I have who are about 300? Just hrce-Hemsley West and Pepper.
 West Is Best
 West is one of the greatest outfielders I ever saw, and when player as good as he is on de- fenSe can hit the way he's been hitting, he's pretty valuable man. Pepper also drives in a lot of runs.'
 The Browns will be very muC>l n the market for talent when the major league meetings are held, Iornsby said, but he has no il- usions about being able to get something for nothing.
 Everybody expected us to finish iest, and we're not going ito do shat said the skipper. But if We had had the pitching I had every right to expect, we'd be in he first division"
 Bell Purchased
 The first step toward bringing in endorsements for next year was the purchase of Beau" Bell, slugging outfielder from the veport club of the Texas League.
 Of the youngsters now playing with the Browns, 21-year- old Har- and Gift, in the opinion of many critics holds the most promise. The Kid third baseman, while still far rom finished fielder, has made good impression at the plate. Branch Rickey, the Cardinals Trader Horn,' believed a year or

ANOTHER WOLVERINE

Gehringer, at that time, wasn't long out of the University of Michigan but he was hitting all ready above 300 and fielding his position with rare skill. He has continued to develop to the point where in his 11th major league season he has the critics about ready to agree with the old-timer's superlative praise. Certainly he ,ose to the occasion in the Battle of the Bronx with series of blows that spelled disaster to the Yankee home guard. He has been hitting around .370 all season as com- pared with his ten-year average of .316.
 When Michigan turned out George Harold Sisler, it appeared the Wolverine had reached the peak in it's contribution to profes- sional sport but Charley Gehringer comes pretty close to being the equal of the renowned "Sizzler" as an all-around threat now and he's only entering the prime of his career.

Have a good look at that guy out there around second base" remarked the old timer during a lull in the recent hostilities be- tween the Yankees and Tigers at the big ballyard in the Bronx. "As matter of fact you better take two good looks, unless you are around here often, because he is the greatest second baseman you will ever put your eyes on"
 Ignoring our suggestion that it was already fairly well known this same guy was very, very good, the old-timer continued: He will make them stop talking about La joie or Collins or Hornsby or even Frisch. He has the easy grace of that Frenchman, he's a greater hitter than Collins, he outclasses Hornsby defensively and makes easy the ones that Frisch makes look tough and he will be doing it for another ten years. barring accidents.

ADMIT HE'S GOOD

All this, as you may have sur missed, concerned the renowned Charles Leonard Gehringer, the king second sacker of the Ameri- can league and perhaps entitled to most, if not all the fulsome praise being showered upon his curly thatch by the old-timer.
 It's triumph, at any rate, when one of the Old Guard ADMITS there's a better ball player in the game today than they used to have when the favorites wore mustaches. It's been generally agreed, for some time, that Geh- ringer belongs in the current all- star cast but in this, the greatest season he has had and at time when his play 5 is so vital to the rise of the Tigers, it has suddenly dawned on the eagle-eyed observ- CTS that here is one of the lads to be remembered for some time to come.
 Gehringer is one of those strong, silent men. He's in there playing great ball day after day but he isn't a snowman or a spectacular personality and it is only after a considerable length of time-the steady drip-drip, as it were-that the impression of greatness bursts through astigmatized gaze and flowers into full recognition.
 When Bucky Harris first took over the management of the Tig- CTS, most everyone expected him to be player pilot. Bucky was a pretty fair second baseman when he led Washington to a pair of pennants and he was still young enough to keep at it, despite the temporary handicap Of bad fin- ger But as time went by and Harris failed to show in the box scores, friends joshed him little,

VON HINDENBURG.

Duty ingrained by his training a youth and later as an officer in the Prussan army, was the most compelling word in the vocabulary Of Paul Hndenburg Der Ate" Germany's grand old man" President. Whenever duty called upon him. he failed to respond In war and in peace his response was the same. His military career, brilliant it was, secondary to his career as second President of the German Republic. The armies under his command were defeated in the World War, but under his leadership the Wemar Constitution was upheld and the German Republic lived through stress mad trevai to the end of his life What will happen to the country now that he is dead is question that is worrying the capitals of all Europe as the body of the 86yearod patriot lies in state awaiting interment.
 When von Hindenburg resigned command of the German army in June 1919 at the age of 72 none, least of all himself dreamed he would ever be called upon to succeed Frederick Ebert the saddler President" who died in February, 1923. Yielding to mportunities of those who approached him, he consented to become candidate. When word of this became spread abroad, all sorts of dire pre- dictions were made-that Germany again head ed for monarchism, that mitarsm would take on a lease of life despite the treaty of Versailles week before the election the first popular ballot ing for President under the republican constitution, the aged field marshal received representatives of
  vigorous impressive personality, who made 1t plain that it only for a sense of duty to his Fatherland that he abandoned the quiet of his home, and that he hoped that this example of devotion to duty might contribute to the unificaton of a Germany torn by factional strife. He was elected by overwhelming popular vote on April 26 1925 becoming the second President.
 On May 12, 1925, von Hindenburg inaugurat- ed, and with a loud, unhesitating voice he swore allegiance to the republican constitution. Every body, friend and foe alike of the new order knew from the character of the new President and from his religious regard for the sanctity of the oath, that his office would be administered strictly according to the constitution.
 The longer the President was in office, the more apparent it became that the Hindenburg Admin istration far from being menace to repubicanism, was destined to fortify the new order even among those who had hitherto stood aloof from it.
 Won Hindenburg then 78 years old, spared no effort or energy to accustom himself to the tasks of his new office With clock-like regularity, the chief of the Governments press division had to report to him every day world events as reflected in the daily press An hour later, ministers, chiefs
