Maillol is an engaging figure in the
art of today. Born the same year as
Bourdelle U86D, he, too, in his early
years, came under the influence of
Rodin. From a visit to Greece in
l909-l9l0, Maillol's vision WAS broad
ened and, henceforth, he seems TO
have thought more for himself. to owe
less to impressions acquired from
others. Too little do we associate
drawing with sculpture. but the fact is
that sculpture is all drawing. NAL
vina Hoffman tells in her fascinating
autobiography, Heads and Tails" how
insistent Rodin was that his pupils
should learn to draw: how, in fact. in
her own case he literally locked her
up in his studio for whole day with
a sketchbook to find out what she was
capable of doing. 1t will be especially
engaging, therefore. to have opportu-
nifty. such as that now offered by the
Phillips Memorial Gallery, to see and

ings by so eminent sculptor as

HOLY NAME TOPS
 NE. TIGERS, 25-23

The N. E. Y. Tigers went down in defeat at the hands of the strong St. Joe Holy Name Jrs. last night at the Y-hut. The Brooklyn aggregation took the lead in the opening minute on Meyers shot and never gave 1t away. The Tigers rallied to tie up the game at halftime 14-l4. St. Joe put on the pressure in the third quarter and led 23-l7.
 The last period, the most exciting one, saw the Holy Name outfit gar- ner it's last hoop of the game to make the score 25-l7 when the Tig- CTS rallied strong but were unable to get the tying or winning points. The N. E. gang scored more hoops than the Holy Name boys but their care lessness from the foul line cost them the ganle.s
 Augustinas and Meyers were bril- liant for the St. Joe team while Gel entano and Place stood out for the Tigers. A return game will be played at the St. Joe gym some Sat- iirfiav night.

By HENRY SUPER

United Press Stan COrrespondentY
 New York, Dec. 24.-(Up) Joe Medwick of the st. Louis Cardinals was disclosed today to have. been the best all-around outflelder in the National league during 1887.
 Hidden under . mass of National league statistics labeled "miscellaEls eous records" were two more honCrs which Medwick added to his long list for 37-leading the league in slugging and batting in runs.
 Joe slammed home l54 runs to lead in that division for the second consecutive year and slugged for 4O6 total bases to lead the heavy httterD with 8 slugging percentage of !64l.
 Here's his record for 1887:
 Led both leagues in batting with an average of .374.
 Went to bat most times, 623: score ed most runs, Ill; collected most base hits 237; amasSed most total bases 406; hit most doubles 56: tied for home run honors with Mel Ott of the Giants with 31: played in all his clubs games 156; led the slug- gers with .641; led in runs batted in with 154: headed his department in fielding with an average of .e683.
 In the slugging averages revealed today, Medwick won hands down. His closest rival was his tealnfnate Johnny Mize. Mize had . slugging average of 1895, hit for 333 total bases and batted in 113 runs.
 In club slugging, the Chicago Cubs were tops with Q mark of .4l6. They batted in the most runs, 762, and received the most walks, 630. Boston led in strikeouts with 707 and established a new league record. The old mark of 708 was made by Brooklyn in 1910.
 The Cardinals were second in club slugging with .406 and the champion New York Giants were third with .403.
 Other leaders were:
 Most walks--Mel Ott, Giants, l02.
 Most times struck out-Vince Di Maggie, Boston, III.
 Struck out fewest times-Johnny Cooney, Brooklyn, 10.
 Hit most times by pitchers Dick Bartell, New York, 10.
 Hit into most double plays. Frank Demaree, Chicago, g.
 Floyd Young of Pittsburg, by strikeouts out twice in the seventh inning on July 3, tied Q record held by many players.

 @. In 8 discussion with some friends, contended that in the world series of 1922 or 1923 between the Yankees and the Giants, hun dreds of fans were unable to pur- chase tickets and were turned away at the gates. Am I correct?
 A. The New York Yankees de- feated the New York Giants in the 1923 world series, and the record capacity of Yankee stadium on three days was not equal to the great crowds that desired to occupy 1t. These dates were Wednesday, Oc- tober 10, the opening game; Friday, October 12, the third game; and Sunday, October IA, the fifth game. On all three days hundreds of would be ticket purchasers were turned away.
 e. Was the Army Navy football game ever played in Baltimore?
 A. Yes; in 1924.
