In the right-held garden Henrich's
shadow has fallen across Gehrig's
privately owned and operated first
sack for the last year. In the game
with Kansas City Gehrig was given
the day of and young Heinrich sue
cessfully policed his territory.
Manager Joe Mccarthy Of the
Yankees has called Heinrich zone
of the finest young players I have
seen In 80 years Of baseball" Rail-
birds agree, and note, also, that the
young man is the luckiest rookie Of
all time. His earnings in 1887, his
first year in a major league, were
more than $50, 900, including his cut
in the World Series money. A
tangle Of red tape which held him
in the minors was neatly cut by
Judge Lands and both his batting
and fielding have been as adver-
tised.
Now % years old. he was younger
than Joe Di Maggie when he hit the
big time, and looks much younger
than he is-so much so that he is
often called "Baby-Face." He bats
1000 on the piano and leads the
league in musical interest and scor-
ing. He is rabid opera fan and
down in front at the Metropolitan
Opera House, If he's anywhere
around New York in the musical
season. He used to play basket ball
and softball, but now only baseball,
excepting little golf, in which he
has worked his score down Q little
below 100.
Compared to the piano-legged,
barrel-chested Lou Gehrig, he Is as
fragile as q katydid. His prowess
in batting is matter of technique
rather than bulk, with a mastery of
the Ruthenian wrist-snap and
whatever poundage he has at the
moment laid out behind the wallop.
He has covered right field the way
Adolph Hitler is covering Central
Europe.
Not that this necessarily means
taps for Gehrig's baseball career. 1t
is merely that the baseball news
scouts think they read the hand
writing on the wall as the clever
youngster moves to the spot which
Gehrig has held in fee simple for
so many years. It seems to fit in
with young Mr.. Douglas going to

Burke Says Students

PHILADELPHIA, March a.
Senator Edward R. Burke, Democrat,

There must come into public

in the fundamentals of American

Swinging to politics, Mr.. Burke,

Outstanding Angling Feat.
There Is another fishing contest
just announced, though, in which
Washington and nearby anglers are
sure to figure, because it is for them
exclusively. 1t is sponsored by the
6. G. Murphy Stores of Washington,
and to our mind it is one of the
best contests running, because Just
big f1sh or the greatest number do
not mean first prize.
The first prize Of an en-
graved plaque goes to the
fisherman performing the out
standing angling achievement
of the 1899 season.
That might mean catching a s.
pound hardhead on cotton thread,
Tor instance, or making a record on
light tackle. The fact that your fish
is the biggest doesn't mean neces-
sarily that you win the top award.
Other awards are an engraved
crystal and silver cocktail set, an
engraved silver cigarette box and
Is runner-up prizes. Fish must be
entered within five days after being
taken and blanks are available at
any G. C. Murphy Store at the
fishing tackle counter. The angling
feat, incidently, must be performed
in Chesapeake Bay or any of the
tributary rivers and streams, which
gives wide-enough range for any
thing.

tainly is becoming well-known all
over the country as a fine fishing
hole. Several hundred anglers are
