AMERICAN MEN
"INFANT!LE"

American men, who think they
are so sophisticated and cosmo.

from blonde Mademoiselle Made.
leine de Charpin, who was chosen
the most beautiful girl in all Paris
and the Queen of the Paris Ex-
position.
For Mile. de Charpin has very
definite ideas about American
maSculinity.
The men are charming, she says,
so ver-ee charming, but q trifle on
the ''infantile" side.
The beauteous blonde was in
Washington yesterday as part of
her countrywide tour to interest
the tired American business man
in the Paris exposition.
You must come to Paris to
see me. / will be there"
Which is not bad way to issue
an invitation to a man to visit
Paris in the spring.
During her brief stay in Wash

White SOx Stand Out.

WITH only two teams in the league
" are the Mats apt to spurn trade
overtures. Mr.. G. hasn't traded with
the AS since most of us were in short
pants. The Yankees obviously need
make no trades and probably won't,
unless they figure to get all the best
OF 1t. And Griff doesn't play that
way.
Gabby Street probably will
move into Milwaukee and Chi
cago as the Browns manager
and the old Nat catcher prob
ably will be contacted by the
Mats.
Not that the Browns have lot OF
talent that is coveted by the local
Arm. On the contrary, only Joe Vos-
mix and maybe Pitcher Jack Knott
are liked by Griff and Harris. But
there is always a chance.
The Tigers, too, present possible
marketing aspects Mickey Cochrane
cannot be sure that Rudy York is g
major league catcher. He may want
Rick Terrell, while, on the other hand
the Mats may think that young George
Tebbetts, also catcher, has not beer
given real trial. And Washington
always has eyed Pitcher Jake Wade
left-hander of more than average
ability.
But above all clubs the White Soz
loom as the team with which the
Griffmen will deal. Kuhel for Bon
ura is likely and you can't tell what
else is liable to happen. It might
be Kuhel and Myer and Jimmy

Mats Like Jack Wilson,

WHEN Witt went to the Indians as
manager Mr.. Alva Bradley was
quoted as saying Oscar would be in
full charge of the club. This might
be taken to mean that Witt even could
make his own deals. If so, Cleveland
as we'll as Chicago, may be placed Oh
the Mats marketing list.
The AP. recently carried the tip
that Pitcher Jack Wilson of the Red
Sox was ticketed for the Yankees
This may be true, but the Yankees
will have to dangle uncommon bait
in the direction of Boston. Washing
ton likes Wilson, a young, right
handed speedballer. and Joe Mccarthy
would have to outbid the Senators in
merry fashion to land Wilson.
The chances are that Jack
will stick with the Red Sox, but
II any club lands him it will be
Washington.
Wilson is a pitcher whose posi-
bilities as yet are undeveloped. The
Red Sox used him both as a starter
and as relief pitcher Some baseball
men think that If Wilson we're given
his regular turn in the box, with no
tn-between stints. he would stand up
with any hurler in the league.

BY JOHN LARDNER.

n 1EW YORK, Nov 13.-Wherever
Mr.. Glenn Scobie Warner
" goes. there is a sound like the
a humming of some vast dy-
namo, which means that Mr. Warmers
brain is in motion. Mr.. Warner is
the first and foremost thinker of foot
ball
His disciples credit Pop with in
venting:
(a) The wingback.
(b) The double wingback.
(c) The mousetrap play.
I'D The hidden ball trick.
te) The field goal
% The cotton gin.
So thorough is Mr.. Warmers study
OF the game, they tell me. that he
raises his own footballs. Starting
with the baby pigs, he studies the
psychology of each animal in the herd
until the time comes to remove its
dressing gown and fashion it into a
ball. Thus. Pop knows how each ball
will behave because he knows who its
father and mother we're, and how they
got along together. Heredity means
everything In the pigskin business.
A Veteran Thinker.
HISTORY tells us that Mr.. Warner
began to think about football in
the latter part of the 18th century
1t must have been around that time
that he invented the touchdown,
which promptly took the place of
the covered wagon and the old-fash-
Toned candle. 1t is needless to add
that Pop has been thinking ever
since, with brief stops for refueling.
In the old days he gave most of his
thought to offensive football. The
first wingback sprang full-armed
from Mr.. Warmers teeming brain
about 1905, at Cornell. Then he con-
centrated on the forward pass. Then
he began work on a new theory,
namely, that the American Indian is
quicker than the eye.
At Carlisle Pop taught his Redskins
every trick that Merlin and the Wiz
ard OF OF overlooked. 1t got so rival
teams used to have the Indians
frisked for loose footballs before each
game. This did no good. Mr.. Warner
was always able to find some new
place to hide ball on an Indian. He
had good material, too. Those boys
from Carlisle could track down an
enemy ball-carrier through the thick
est jungle, following a trail of bent
twigs and overturned leaves till they
had their man.
On the West Coast, Pop brought
the wingback system to its fullest
glory. A coach in those days had his
choice of two systems-Rockne or
Warner. Any one using q different
system became a social outcast, and
rightly so, guess.
Not 70 much has been heard from

Defense Stressed Too Much
On Grid, Says Warner, Urging
Changes to Increase attack

Pop in the last few years. though
that steady humming sound from the
vivinity of Philadelphia always could
be traced. on clear days, to the brain
OF Mr.. Warner, still doing business at
the old stand This week Pop came
out in the open to talk to some of
the boys. The purr of his Uranium
was terrific.
Sees Too Much Defense.
TODAY, it develops, Mr.. Warner is
not thinking so much about Of
fensive football. He is thinking, and
| brooding, about too much defense.
The defense has caught up with
the offense in this game" he said
"All our tricks. backfield formations,
shifts and pass plays. have been
mastered. There is way of stopping
everything and we are rolling back
to an era of nothing to-nothing ties.
you can blame the new-fangled
systems of line play for that-f1ve-
man lines, four-man lines, three-men
lines and such. The five-man line

wondering if it might not be a good
idea to have rule enforcing a six
man line-a line Of at least six men,
1t might give the offense a chance to
catch up.
I'm also in favor of rule putting
the goal posts back on the goal line.
Kicking is a lost art. The truth is
Tt.~, vi ltf-ox in, Of
rules. I've never seen new rule that
didn't help the game in some way.
The ones that do no good are pretty
quickly scratched"
Somebody shot the old familiar ques-
ton at Mr.. Warner: Who was the
greatest player he ever coached? Pop
has been pretty tickle about that.
Once he said Jim Thorpe. Then
Ernie Nevers. Then Dave Smukler.
Liked Nevers' Spirit.
THIS time he stuck with Movers.
Movers was the best, I think"
said the master. II don't want to
take anything away from Thorpe. He
could run, kick. pass and tackle with
tllc eiCdoCot. I1C Wdo, Ildypt, UlUTe
versatile than Nevers. But Movers had
the spirit. He was always trying He
never had to be prodded."
Which seems to mean that Mr..
Thorpe, the celebrated Sac and Fox,
was not always on the qui vive. Well,
that's understandable Being on the
qui vive all the time is pretty monot-
onous thing.
When Mr.. Warner retired from our
midst to the clustered hills of Temple
his brain was still humming like
dynamo. wouldn't be surprised If
something were Matching amidships.
Maybe the 10-man backfield, to heckle
the oman line.

X lHSl bASEMAN JOEY kUHEI is
almost certain to leave the Sena-
tors. Jimmy Dykes of Chicago wants
to land him something more than
Harris wants to keep him. Part of
the reason for all of this is that the
White Sox have plenty of right
handed hitting power and Washing
ton has not. zeke Bonura. who has
been first-basing for the Sox during
the last few seasons, is quite right
handed, at bat at least, and the idea
Is. that zeke would make a valuable
adjunct to the Griffmen.
Unless Griffith is certain that
Rookie Jimmie Wasdell can take
kuhePs place and Wasdell is a
left-handed hitter. too Kuhel

This still would not settle the inf1eld
problem. Washington would like to
get an infielder who could relieve
Second Baseman Buddy Myer, or re-
place him. Nor would it get the
Griffmen their pitchers.

Witt as manager of the Indians

Senators marketing prospects.
