present day, exists. They have for
the most part passed from one great
collection to another, thus accumu-
lating a distinguished consensus
concerning their intrinsic worth. 1t
is this consensus of those most capa-
Bile of judging which establishes
tradition on the soupdest and surest
grounds and thereby constitutes for
all time a steadfast measure OF
merit. The fact that the Widener
collection is surrounded by this aura
out of the past as well as of the
present makes National Gallery of
Art most suitable for its reception
and its presentation thereto OF very
great significance.
The Widener collection is at pres
ent beautifully installed in the
Widener home, Lynnewood, Elklns
Park, near Philadelphia. Mr.. Wide
ner has the right to retain it during
his lifetime. but it is understood
that in all probability a portion at
least will be transferred 70 the Ma
tional Gallery when rooms which
are to be specially designed for the
purpose are ready for its reception
This may not be for some months
or longer. But the magnificent gift
is by Mr.. Widener's own statement
assured. And what a gift 1t Is!

the Azores or Portugal have congre-

Not only is Mr.. Heintzelman
president of the Marblehead Arts

brilliant etchers that our country
may claim as her own. He was
native of New Jersey. but pupil of
the Rhode Island School of Design,
one time also instructor, therefore
when, after a considerable absence
spent in France, he returned to the
United States, it was not strange
that he decided to make his home
in New England. In France he and
his work were given very cordial
reception and appreciation; he was
made a member of the Societe Ma

Yankee Downfall
0vershadows All
Baseball Events
By GEORGE KIRKSEY

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK. Dec. 10. tUP)-Th'
downfall of the New York Yankees
oversha dowed all other events in
the baseball world during 1910.
The mighty Yankees, after win
ming four straight worlds champ
ionships for an all-time record
yielded the American league pen-
nant to the Detroit Tigers, patch
work team of misfits. castoffs and
veterans who went to the post at
10-l odds.
With the decline of the Yanks
the American leagues superiority
went into eclipse. The National
league made a clean sweep OF all
inter-league competition by win
ming the world series and the two
all-Star games.
Bill McKechnie. canny Scot lead
er of the Cincinnati Reds. was the
Moses who led the National league
out of the wilderness. He pilOted
the National league All-StarS to q
2-l victory in the Finnish relief
game at Tampa, Fla, in March,
and repeated by leading the ALL
Stars to 40 shutout in the mid
summer game at st. Louis and then
led his own Reds to a world series
triumph over the Tigers.
The Reds, coming back from a
four straight humiliation by the
Yankees in the 1899 world series,
wrested the worlds title from the
Tigers in a dramatic. tensely- fought
seven-game series. Paul Derringer,
who was ingloriously pounded out
of the box in the opening game.
outdueled Buck Newsom to win the
seventh and deciding game, 2-l.
Three times during the series the
Reds had to come from behind to
deadlock the count before they
finally emerged victorious to give
the National league its first worlds
championship since the ST. Louis
Cardinals gas house gang annexed
the title in 1884.
1t was a pitchers series. Bucky
Walters and Paul Derringer each
won two games for the Reds while
Buck Newsom won a pair for the
Tigers and just failed to win third
one which would have meant the
golden bauble for his team. After
hurting the Tigers to a smashing
triumph in the opening game at
Cincinnati, Newsom was reused
from his bed early in the morning
to be told his elderly father had
died, victim of heart attack. The
elder Newsom was overjoyed a few
hours earlier when, for the first
time, he saw his son pitch in a
major league game. Big Buck re-
turned to action and won the fifth
game.
The series produced two story
book heroes, Jimmy Wilson, 40
year-old Reds coach who caught six
games, and Jimmy Ripple, Dodgers
castoff who was brought from Mon
treal by the Reds late in August.

Todays Sport Parade

Football would be a much better
game TO watch if there were no
such thing as spying on the enemy
and seeing what he had in the way
of offense and defense. A meeting
between two clubs who knew noth-
ing about one another would make
for spectacular performances. And
that is why the game is played,
isn't it? Isn't the No / reason for
footballs existence the money that
is paid in by the customer? I think
it is. not because I am cynical but
because / have never seen a decent
game of football played in sta
dium where there was no admission
charge. And as long as you're play
ing with not one eye-but two eyes
ON the customer, why not give
him the best? Why not let the boys
come out and have at one another
without benefit of information
concerning the plays to be run?
But that isn't what the freight
payer gets. Far from it. The only
reason Nebraska and Stanford
haven't secuted one another down
TO the wisdom teeth of the third
string halfbacks is that they didn't
know they were going to tie up in
the Rose Bowl until the season was
over. Had they known in advance
their spies would have been there
with notebooks. carbon paper, in
delible pencils, binoculars, and all
the necessary equipment.
A coach admits definite weak
ness when he scouts rival He ad-
mits that he hasn't enough know
ledge to figure out defense or Of
fense on the spur OF the moment,
and that to combat anything with
an clement of surprise in it he
must be given weeks of quiet
thought and practice.
And we refer to coaches as gen.
fuses.

BY HENRY McLEMORE-

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 19. tUP)-
From PaIo Alto comes the sad news
that Clark Shaughnessy has buried
his face in his fat coaching contract
and is crying because he has scant
scouting information on Nebraska.
From Lincoln comes the Distress
ing word that Biff Jones can scarce
ly hold the shears steady to clip
his coupons for sobbing over his

of football play.
1t makes tragic picture. doesn't
it? Two big, strong, silent men all
broken up because they haven't
had access to information that
rightfully doesn't belong TO them.
I'm as tender hearted as the next
fellow, but say great, fine, hurrah,
huzzah, and let Jones and Shaugh-
messy suffer and suffer and suf-
fer and Stanford and Nebraska
play for the Rose Bowl victory
starting strictly from scratch.
Come to think of it, who ever
started the business of football
scouting? I don't know, but my
guess is that it was begun by a
coach who wasn't quite sure of
himself and his ability TO cope with
any play that wasn't right there
in the book on how to play football.
Come to think of il still further
why should there be any scouting?
In my book it's accepted cheating
"a sort of wholesale legalized
peeping Tom business.
There have been attempts among
coaches TO abolish the business OF
scouting. but they died as quick
deaths as if they had been hit in

failure of this sensible legislation

coaches didn't trust one another
