Water Colors and Block
Prints by Ralph H. Averv

AhtS Ny SAtSIy
Under the auspices Of the National
Collection of Fine Arts and the
Smithsonian Institution, special
exhibition of water colors and block
prints by Ralph H. Avery Is being
held in the foyer of the National
Museum. At the present time Mr..
Avery is chief petty officer, U. S. N,
Art and Animation Unit, and is
working in the Photographic Lab
oratory in Anacostia. From 1896 to
1912 he was director of the Rundel
Art Gallery, Rochester Public Lii
brary.
Apparently he is one who paints
for his own pleasure but with serious
purpose. Certainly he has been we'll
taught. Among his teachers have
been Charles Woodbury., Harry
Leith-Ross and Wayman Adams.
All but one of the 81 water colors
that he is now showing were done in
Mexico and are very typical. In the
ma jority he introduces figures, thus
Ianimating his scenes and increasing

simple-the effects produced good.
The prints are practically all lino-
leum blocks and in character more
experimental, but likewise sincere
and technically worthy. The con-
trast between painting and prints is
notable-the one so free the other
so accurate.

OF how he conceived of his duty to
his men and his calling in time of
war. He held services under nearly
impossible conditions, he comforted
the wounded and dying, he took
messages, wrote letters and cheered
up the discouraged. He saw his
men at all times as souls to be
guided and saved; there was no sit
uation too difficult for him to use as
as an occasion of reminding the boys
of their responsibilities as Chris
tians. His style is naive and direct.

zariI|a' S Sensational
Hitting Big Factor
As Browns Zip
BY JACK HAND,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


Al Zarilla's amazing hitting spree
for 654 average in the last seven
Brownie games was accepted today
in baseball circles as one of the
chief factors keeping the st. Louis
Americans out front in the Junior
loop flag chase despite the rush Of
Boston and Cleveland.
When Zarilla stepped into the
lineup last Sunday to replace Left
Fielder Chet Laabs, who had set the
league on fire with home run
streak two years ago, he was just
another guy from Toledo. Last
nights three hits as the Browns
thumped Philadelphia, 8-5, upped
his total to II in his last 26 at bats
and boosted his an-season mark to
.30l. Most of his appearances have
been reserved for opposition right
handed pitching and he has been
hitting them as If he owned them.
AS the Browns finished business
with the AS and prepared to well
come the slumping Washington
Senators, they had won I of IL
starts against Eastern clubs on the
current home stand and boasted a
3ls game lead on New York and
Boston, virtually tied for second
although the Yanks held a one
point edge.
Boston dubbed Detroit's Dizzy
Trout for a lopsided 1875 pasting
yesterday as Emmett ONeil chalked
up his third win. In taking of IL
from the Western teams, the Sox
hit the ball at a .315 clip to make

Only 5,016 turned out for the tame

although each has scored Is knock
outs.

inches over his barrel-chested foe
who came in at 207l4. Handicapped
by Murray's advantage in reach and
height. Thompson put his head down
and bore in and then did nothing
about 1t except clinch after getting
inside.
Murray. with a flicking left, tried
to keep Thompson away while re-
treating, but there were few solid
punches landed even after Referee
Arthur Donovan warned them in the
fourth to get in there and fight or
Ill stop it," Donovan saw it as a
draw. but the judges pointed the
finger at Murray by narrow
margin.
Hilarity was added when Murray
slipped and fell on a wet spot in the
ninth, and Thompson duplicated in
the 10th. ~'
