STRATEGY. A Viennese composer found
a place for himself in the movies and made
his home in one of the stately mansions
near Hollywood.
A visiting friend was surprised to find
the exile living in so much splendor, and
even more surprised when he discovered
that huge price labels were attached to
every single bit of furniture in the. house,
price labels that could not possibly have
been correct either, for beautiful old
Gothic Pieta, for instance, bore $500
price tag, a vase of Bohemian crystal
one of 85c, and Murano chandelier was
marked at Sl75. On the other hand, some
glassware, obviously stemming from the
next five-and-ten- cent store, was marked
at prices from fifty to hundred and fifty
dollars.
Noting his friends surprise, the man
from Vienna explained:
We'll, you see, we have new maid
and she has the habit of smashing things
- the more precious the better. So now
we've taken to trying to confuse her with
those tags And" he added gleefully,

His lips cux and bleeding by
Kaplan's jabs in the early rounds,
Montgomery turned the tables in

During the eighth and ninth he
raised Jumps on Kaplan's face, drew
blood to his opponents lips and
at the end had ringsiders wondering
how Kaplan managed to go the
distance.

Catcher Jake Early, whose deyei-
opment has served to ease the mis-
cry of the Mats this season, was a
bewildered boy today. Shelved by
stabbing pains in the left side of his
face, Jake yesterday was examined
by three physicians, whose diagnosis
ranged from a troublesome tooth to
palsy.
Forced to Withdraw from action
in Sundays double-header with the
Athletics at Philadelphia. Jake re-
ceived little solace from the doctors
explorations, but it was likely tooth
was to be yanked today in an ef-
fort to correct the condition. Al
Evans is expected to handle the
Mats catching chores against the
White Sox tonight in Griffith Sta
dium's final night game of the
season.
Suffers Eye Trouble.
Early has been bothered all sea-
son by an infection of the eyes
said to be allergic to dust, but re-
manned behind the place until he
felt a riveter was operating on his
face while attempting to catch on
Sunday. The medicos' mingled opin-
ions haven't comforted him.
Jake has represented one of the
brighter items in a disastrous Wash
ington year. A .292 hitter, he has
unleashed occasional displays OF
power, and his catching has i'm
proved perceptibly. He is regarded
as a 1912 fixture, and Prexy CLARK
Griffith is hoping Early's health
doesn't disturb those plans.

groomed for steady service ne&i
