¥ [ TR HKKKKKKKKKK KK KN * DIAMOND GOSSIP * FREK KKK KKK KKK KK KK Clarke and his Pirates—and the Pirates before Clark for that matter —have always been the last of the big league teams to go south when the robins begin to chirp and the fans to inquire anxiously about the possibilities of a rise in the price of mop. Consequently, it was gener- ally well into March before any de- finite idea as to the lineup of the team could be doped out. This year promises to be an excep- tion in that respect. The prospect is that it will be the middle of April before very much is known. Hans Wagner is going to play again. But where is uncertain.. The aforesaid dopesters are certain that the Flying Dutchman will let his sails flap about the CC—meaning Cemetery Corner, alias first base. Barney Dreyfuss agree with the dopesters to the ex- tent that he thinks this possible. Fred Clarke opines there is no more chance than Wagner may wag in that charming-spot. As for Wagner—no- body home. And there is still Hinchman, late of Columbus. Hinchman will play in right field. That is just as cer- tain as it is that Wagner will play first base. As for the others: Carey will play in the field. Viox will play ‘somewhere. Adams will pitch and Gibson will catch. Several others will pitch and catch. And others will play bases and field posi- tions. But who they are and what they will do are questions. The Pirates this year is to be an “experimental team.” What this means is conjectural. Pittsburghers hope that it means the Pirates will get somewhere above the belt-line in the percentage column. Further than that they have been given no grounds for hope. Whatever its record in the field may be, the first-the-last-in-two months’ aggregation has the long- distance pennant cinched again. It is the most-traveled team in the ma- Jor league circuits, chiefly because of its half-way position between east and west on the map. Some fans say that were it not so long on the Pull- man and diner suite it might be more than half-way in its position in the percentage column. However, they aren’t running the team. Caretul censoring of the war plans shows that the team will “do the usual” in the line of playing at home on Saturday, playing to some foreign country—Cincinnati, St. Louis or Chicago—for Sunday games and back for the beginning of an at-home series on Monday. The rebels scored on the Pirates when it came to announcing their roster. While there doubtless will be some of the 25 whose names were given out by Manager Oakes in Pitts- burgh whose services will not be used the Feds just now look like this: Rebel Oakes, manager, Homer La.; Hugh Bradley, f. b., Worcester, Mass. David Jones, 1. f. Detroit, Mich.; Ed- ward Lennox, t. b., Camden, N. J.; James Savage, r. f., Plantsiville, Conn.; Stephen Yerkes, s. s., Millvale, N.

Ed Konetchy, Pirate first baseman last year; “Pol” Perritt, pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals last year; Pat O’Connor, Bunny Hearne, Frank, Al- len, Jimmy Austin and Martin Berg- hammer are new to the Rebel list. Several are recruits picked up by Fed scouts and it is said that several more will join the team when it goes south. The Court of Last Resort. Around the stove of the cross roads grocery is the real court of last,| resort, for it finally over-rules all others. Chamberlain’s Cough Reme- dy has been hrought before this court in almost every cross roads grocery in’ this country, and has always re- ceived a favorable verdict. It is in the country where man expects to receive full value for his money that this remedy is most appreciated. Ob- tainable everywhere.

GARDEN CITIES REDUC ANNUAL DEATH RATES. Benefits of Good City Planning Accrue Most to Small Towns. “The death rate in Wisconsin is fif- teen per thousand, while that of the planned ‘garden cities' & Europe is only five,” according to Professor L. 8. Smith of the University of Wisconsin. “The - benefits of good city planning accrue most to the small towns,” said Professor Swith. 'he town that starts to plan when it is still small will have to expend less In tearing down and as it grows will constantly reap more and more.” Students of city planning at the uni- versity have been collecting data on Wisconsin citles and In several cases will show how much money the city would save by starting now. Madison will be used as the bad example of a city which when it wakes up to the economic lmportance of the movement will have started too late to get the full benefit of good city planning with- out excessive cost. “The annual death rate of children less than two years of age in Munich before city planning was started was 649 per thousand.” continued Professor Smith. *“After the city had been prop- erly replanned this rate dropped to 249 per thousand. The death rate of chil- dren between two and five years of age was reduced from fifty-two to sixteen per thousand. “City planning is a practical proposi- tion. It means something more than meve beauty. It indicates farsighted- ness for future developments of trade and commerce, It provides for the best handling of trafiic. It prevents hap- hazard building which may have to be torn down when the city has grown to |- demand more streets. It means parks for the children, sunlight, plentiful and clean air, garden room and sanitation.” MAKING WINTER GARDENS. Movement of Woman's Municipal League For Beautifying Cities. Helping the unemployed and develop- ing winter gardens to make a city beautiful is a new work which the Woman's Municipal league, with head- quarters in New York city, has under- taken. An experimental garden, the architectural design of which has been prepared by Frederick Junius Sterner, has been made in the yard of a resi- dence in New York city. The yard bas been adorned with a border of barberry bushes, which hold their red berries through the winter. The fence of the garden has been paint- ed a dark green and in front of it is a trellis of a lighter green upon which are trained honeysuckle, which holds its leaves well into December. At the rear of the yard is a garden seat paint ed. green. and on either -side of this are terra cotta vases, -efich holding a lignum vitae tree. SR It is the Yorkville branch -of the league, of which Mrs. F. Boberjson Jones, who is cerresponding secretary of the league, is chairman, which'is. doing this particular branch of work. “We consider that. these gardens should be architectural rather than the work of a florist,” said Mrs. F. Robert- son Jones.* “I have seen 80 many. gar: dens which are beautiful in-summer, but which are desolate places in, the winter. only getting started the first of May, when we are beginning to leave home. There should be something bright in them that will last through the winter. The league is greatly interested in this work of making the city beautiful, and the unemployed can be used to do this. garden work under supervision. .We should advise people who wish to do it to come to the league to get their work- ers, and we can assist them to have the work done to better advantage and- at lower rates than they could do it for themselves. As the work develops we want to get young architects to take charge of it.” Bureau For sao‘ml Research. The Seybert Institution-of Philadel- | phia has organized a bureau of soclal research, under the direction of Carol Aronovict and with the promised co- | operation of other social agencies. Work has been commenced on the rec- ords of the children’s agencies in the city with a view to standardizing theit work and focusing their activities on the problems.
