instance, that vanished right out of
sight at the touch of a button. And
IN another room was a sofa that TO-
tated around from one position to
another according to where a body
wanted to sit-this in room with a
television wall. A dining room had
walls and ceilings draped with
lengths of magenta and pale blue
taffeta in fine folds and in such
way as to give the room circular
shape. White floors made with
stretched white canvas had a ribbon
scroll design painted on in pale blue

that other clubs should build up to
meet the Yanks is not as logical as
it sounds. The Yankees have a po-
tential audience of 10, 0O0, 900 people.
Some of the other clubs are located
in territories where not more than
1,000, 900 people live. 1t is only nat.
ural that New York's gate receipts
would be greater, allowing more
money for organization and invest
ment in players.
Once In while the Yanks are
challenged on their own grounds.
At present Tom Yawkey of Boston
is doing a good job. But even in a
land quite plentiful with million
aires, it's hard to find one enthusi-
astic enough about baseball to back
it with his bankron. So it is natural
to look for other cures. And a cure
is essential. The Yanks certainly
are not to be blamed for playing
winning baseball. Every club own
er, manager and player wants to
turn In a winning brand of ball. II
is only natural. But it isn't natural,
nor is it a good thing for the game,
to have one team make a shambles
Of league competition. Most author
tiles are agreed upon that, and it
has been proved in part already
this year.
To date the American league is
not the drawing power it was in the
past. Weather conditions have been
blamed by Edward G. Barrow, pres
ident of the Yankees, for untitled
grandstands. However, one writer
pointed out that Jersey City, near
New York and having the same
weather conditions, has drawn larg-
er crowds to minor league games
than the worlds champions have at
tracted IN their mutilation of Amer.
lean league competition.
It can't be blamed on the wealth
er. At least not altogether. Fans
have grown tired of seeing the Yam
KEGS win with such little effort.

League Must
Hold Players
By ROBERT McSHANE

RASEBALL experts, officials and
fans are almost unanimous IN
their belief that something must be
done about the New York Yankees
before they eliminate all thought of
competition in the American league.
The Yanks won the 1886 Ameri-
can league pennant by 1912 games.
In 1887 they won by Is games, and
in 1888 by 915 games. The belief
that their superiority was growing
less pronounced-a belief fostered
by the diminishing margin of VIC
tory-has proved untrue.
In the American league circuit it
is being said that the Yanks will be

THIS idea is the result of an ex-
i pertinent. A friend had a set
of sadly out-of-date white linen
drawn work scarves for buffet,
serving and dining table. Her
dining room was being done over
with touches of turquoise blue
in the draperies and wall paper,
so she had the scarves dyed to
match. They were so effective
that the simplest part of the
drawn work design was copied in
coarse linen in various colors for
mats and scarves throughout the
house.
While the turquoise scarves
were especially attractive, those
in golden yellow and a bedroom
set in soft rose were also full of
charm. The sketch shows how the
drawn work is done. If you are
looking for something effective
that is quick to make, here it is.
Just pull out the threads of the
linen to make an open space about
an inch wide. The scarf may be
henmed at the same time the out
side edge of the opening is being
whipped. Just follow these
sketches. No other directions are
needed. Use either linen or mer-
cerized thread in a matching
color.

is still saving ball games for Louis
COmiskey. He is Clint Brown, one
of the most spectacular rescue art
lists of the diamond.
Brown left Cleveland for Chicago
in the winter of 1886. He was large
~ responsible for the third-place fin
ish of the White Sox in 1896 and 1887.
In the first season he figured in SO
games for the Sox, winning six, los
ing two and working SO innings. In
1887 he was in total of SO games,
working 100 innings, winning seven
and losing seven.
The trouble shooter was Cancelled
out last season following an opera
ton for a Clipped bone. That
wasn't, of course, the only reason
the Sox finished in the second divi-
sion, but it was contributing fac
tor that cannot be overlooked.
The loss of Monte Stratton, ace
starting pitcher, was severe blow
to the Sox this year. Their hopes
were pinned on Stratton, whose ca
reer was cut short when he lost a
leg in a hunting accident. But
the Sox are still plenty bad medi-
cine-and one Of the big reasons is
Clint Brown, unparalleled trouble
shooter. He's back in form again,
and as dangerous as ever.
Brown has proved that sometimes
a great finishing pitcher is just as
valuable as great starting pitcher.

league.
To bear him out a hasty survey
shows that in the last three years
the Yanks have sold Bob Seeds, out
fielder, and Johnny Mccarthy, first
baseman, to the Giants; Outfelder
Jim Gleeson to the Cubs, Shortstop
Nolen Richardson and Catcher Will
lard Hershberger to the Reds and
Shortstop Eddie Miller to the Bees.
The last named is being hailed as
one of the best infelders to enter
the National league in years. Al
most any club in the Yanks' home
circuit would have been glad to get
him.
During the coming year officials
of the league are certain to discuss
methods of equalizing the strength
of its teams. They cannot, of course,
take fOrcible measures and distrib-
ute the Yanks' star performers
among the weaker clubs. Nor is it
likely the team viii be voluntarily
broken up by player sales.
One course is open to American
league officials. They can do all in
their power to urge the Yanks to
keep all excess material in their
home circuit. This would be in d.
rect contrast to the Yanks' present
policy of selling players only to
those teams which can't possibly
threaten their supremacy. Over a
long period the Yanks' present &C.
tons will build up the National
league at the expense of the Amer
lean, a costly process in the end.
