DUKE PREFERS EXILE
TO SHEDDING BLOOD
Count of Paris, Pretender to
Throne, Opposes Royalist
Coup d'Etat.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARASITIC Count of Paris, young
heir to Frances non-existant throne,
would prefer to remain in exile rather
than sacrifice French blood in a
royalist coup d'etat.
At the chateau near Brussels where
he lives with his father, the Duke OF
Guise, pretender to the throne, Count
Henri said.
If the throne of France was Of
fered to us and blood had to be spilled
to seize it we would say 'never'!"
The count, who is 26 years old, dis
closed that his father has assigned
him the task of converting France to
the idea of another monarchy. He is
directing his efforts at the peasants
and workers, he said, explaining that
in the peasant and worker masses
this monarchial idea is not now pop
ular."
But monarchy" he added, (which
leans only on the middle class (the
largest in France) is inconceivable.

on the mound. He admits that, In
a pinch, he falls back on the old "fog
and plow ball''-"fog 'em through"
But he also has almost everything
else it takes when he isn't over
worked.
Both Matty and johnson won more
than 80 games in a season at least
three times. Dizzy hasn't touched
this mark so far. Thirty was his
best, In 1894. But with 10 or II
pitching years left in his buggy-whlp
arm, he has his chance to pass two
of the pitching immortals.
In Johnson's case. he had to
work many years with second
division club-a club that gave
him few runs to work on.
In the face Of that he recorded ll3
shutouts, while Matty pitched SO shut
outs In his career, and Dean has only
II to his credit so far. Johnson's
record of nearly $500 strikeouts' is
phenomenal. Dizzy has a good start
in this respect, but he still has more

to Johnson's aIl-time mark.
