TWO first-haK championships Of

The Bankers became champions by

EDDIE LINKE'S passing from Il

EDDIE LINKE'S passing from the
major leagues to Chattanooga,
furnishes another instance Of the un-
certainties Of base ball. It seems al
most fantastic, now, to look back
only as far as the middle Of April
and recall that Bucky Harris then re-
garded Linke as good a pitcher as
Washington possessed.
Linke's release to the Southern As
sociation is no great reflection on
Bucky's Judgment. Even man whose
managerial career spans nearly 13
seasons can 60 wrong on q pitcher
who had youth, necessary amount
Of stuff" on the ball. and who won
eight games in q row to wind UP the
1885 American League campaign.
Clark Griffith and Bucky con-
fdentIy expected Linke to win
Is or more games this year.
He looked good in Spring training
and when the championship season
opened Linke almost was selected by
Harris for the honor of pitching the
first game. He was rated behind only
Newson and we'll ahead of Jimmy
De Shcng, Earl Whitehill, Pete Apple
ton, etc.

Ben Chapman, new center fielder
of the Nationals, really was serious
when he announced that he would
set after Jake Powell and win the
base stealing championship. In two
days as q National he has stolen two
bases, or twice as many as he stole
during his two months as dis
gruntled Yankee. He swiped another
one yesterday by city block and it
becomes apparent that when Ben
wants to run he still can outfoot any

Cohen Shows Improvement.

THE release of Linke caused no
great surprise, although he won
eight games in a row at the end Of
the 1885 season and seemed to have
arrived" as big league pitcher. This
season, both as starter and a relief
worker, Ed consistently was inef-
fective.
Cohen is not quite as young as
Ltnke, but Harris believes sgd will
prove Of more help than Ed. He has
pitched to good record in the South
ern Association and, according to re-
ports, Cohen now is faster than he
was in 1894. He showed q good curve
when he was tried by the Griffs be-
fore, but his fast one was adjudged
not quite good enough.
Cohen is more versatile player
than Linke. In addition to pitching
sgd is able to do fair job at first
base and in the outfield. although
washington has plenty of fiy-chasers.
He is rated among the better hitting
pitchers in the Dixie league.

Soil Conservation

The newest plan in this country
to help the farmers is the Soil Con-
servation Act, passed by the House
and Senate and approved by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
This Act is similar to the Agri-
culture Adjustment Act in the
tendency to decrease production in
order to raise the prices of the
farmers products. But, whereas
the A.A.A. paid money for short
age in corn, wheat, tobacco, cotton,
hogs and cattle, the Soil Conserva-
ton Act provides money for the
preserving of the soil by growing
grass on part of the land. This
will not only preserve the soil, but
keep low the number of acres cul-
tivated for production.
Since one fourth of the people
are farmers this Act is expected to
be of help to many.

With all of the modern improve

Interior Decoration

Families of today have suddenly
become conscious of their homes.
A few years ago every one was
just too busy to bother to think
about home. But now every one
seems to be discussing, in spare
moments, new ideas on interior
decoration. Books and papers are
full Of these ideas with illustrations
which really draw interest. In
changing and redecorating of the
monotonous old rooms new at
mosphere is brought forward.
1t is interesting to note how much
and how well an old room, poorly
furnished, may be redone. The
modern attitude is to redo as sim
ply as possible. No great fortune
is necessary. First the room should
be stripped of all furnishings. All
woodwork should be painted cream
or white. If the floors are hard
wood they may be left alone. The
walls should be covered with very
light color, very plain paper for a
living room. Book shelves may be
built in They add beauty and SIM
plicity, and they are also most use
full Furnishing should be bought
according to size of room, nothing
too lavish or overdone. A plain
rug is best with its color repeated
in an odd chair. The object is to
make room appear as large as pos
sible with plenty of light. Every
room should reflect personality and
yet be enjoyable to all who enter.
A comfortable home furnished
with good taste may contribute
largely to the making of a happy
family. 1t is much easier for the
housewife to accomplish her house
hold work because of convenience
of modern furnishing.

Browning, The Musician

Robert Browning is regarded as
one of the greatest of poets; how
ever, his poetic ability was not the
foremost of his accomplishments.
1t was the musical interests of this
man that prompted him to write
poetry. Browning was, from child
hood, a great lover of music; the
lives of the musical immortals pro-
vided him with endless hours of
study and their compositions af-
forded him unlimited practice. He
studied music until he himself was,
IN a sense, master. 1t was his
love of the compositions of the
masters that caused him to become
a poet. DESTROYS of expressing the
beauty he found in music and the
feelings which it inspired in him,
he sought expression in poetry.
Soon he became one of the fore
most of poets, known to the world
through his poetry and not his mu-
sic. His fame spread throughout
the ages, he became poet acclaim
ed by the world, yet it was the love
of the most beautiful of arts that
alone was responsible, music.
