e : [ - BEING SCOUTED' FOR | BY BASEBALL SLEUTHS| _Severalr'Stnrl Secured From Minors, Which Changes Former Tune By Henry.L. Farrell. (United Press Correspondent.), New York, Feb. 14.—*Go out and ‘beat through the bushes. We need some new timber.” The old-time scout scratched his old-time head and wondered. ‘It was the same old-time manager ~talking, who a few years back had said: “Lay off them hushers. They can’t - hit fast company until they go through the mill and learn -the game.”, When George "Uhle stepped ;)fl the ,:sandlots of Cleveland last spring and won eleven out of sixteen games for thé Indians he exploded a hunk of ~dynamite under one of the unwritten Jaws ‘of the old game. It was dogmatic in baseball from the - early “nineties” down . through the “teens” that-a recruit had to «limb the ladder rung by rung from the empty lots up through the minors to the slick green of the' big-time diamond. : Back in 1913 the old theory got its first jolt when Al Mamaux leaped | -from the semi-pros to a regular berth -gn the Pittsburgh hurling staff. ! His feat was considered the excep- ‘tion to the rule and the magnates still listed. a couple of hitches in the hinors as an essential on a recruit’s :record. g i The_n came young Mr. Uhle. The'fans had hardly recovered from the fis’lurp:ised of hi}s’ feat when came another tradition bustin, ungster, Frank Frisch of the Giagts}.")» F Manager McGraw pickeds him off ‘the team of Fordham university and ‘was putting him through a course in bench academies when Larry Doyle, . the regular second baseman, went ‘bad. S Frisch took his place and was the semsation of the late season. He played ball like a vet and cinched a regular berth with the clan of the little Napoleon. Thg result is the magnates are scouring the corner lots and college diamonds for other TUhles and Frisches. " Statistics Are Unsafe Guide to Conclusions Statistics, though often interesting, are sometimes most misleading and futile. For example, it is interesting to know from the census bureau the number of prison commitmehts among the foreign-born population . of - the United "States, but it would be most unsafe to base any generalizations <pon them, for the number-of commit- ments to prison Is no indication of the number of crimes committed, and there are many more criminals at large than behind the bars. . Those in prison were not. clever -enough to escape. They got caught. ‘Those at large were- able to commit- their crimes and elude detection. British statistics show that in only 15 per cent of the indictable offenses that are committed is the perpetrator convicted. - P4 The figures for America are probably mnot very different. Therefore SH per «cent of the criminals are at large. Tt is fair to assume that this 85 per © «ent is more intelligent than the 15 per cent that got caught. Therefore the 15 per cent for which the statis- ties are given fs a highly selected :group, and any conclusions’ based upon wuch statistics are untrustworthy, as . ipplied to criminals in general, how- ever valuable they may be as to the «omparatively small number that are in jail. TOLD GOOD JOKE ON HIMSELF Lincoln Appreciated Mumor in Remar Made by Exceedingly Frank, Outspoken ' Lady. When Mr. Lincoln was presented by the toastmaster of a banquet of Tlinois editors in 1836, he began with an apology for his presence, speaking +of himself as an interloper, and then ihe said he was reminded of an inci- ident. He did not say that he was /giving a personal experience of his ‘own, but the editors surmised as much and were greatly amused. Mr. Lincoln sald that the man of iwhom he was speaking possessed feat- wures which the ladies could not call {handsome. This man, while riding ithrough the woods. met a lady on ‘horseback. He turned out of the path iand waited for her to pass. She stopped and looked at the man a few qmoments. Then she said: “Well for land sake, yvou are the ‘homeliest man I ever saw.” “Yes, madame” the man replied; “but I can’t help it.” “No, T suppose not.” the lady said: “but you might. stay at home.” First American Savings Bank. The first savings bank of Ameriza awas opened in Boston Dec..13. ¥818. In the same year an institution called the Philadelphia Savings Fund society was established. The third institution of this kind in America was founded in New York in 1819. The first' regular savings bank was established in Ham- burg, Germany. in 1778, and the sec- ond at Berne, Switzerland, 116 years ago. The first regular savings bank in Great Britain was opened in Edinburgh 105 years ago. 7 . .{of chapter thre 'NEXT WAR TO BE IN CLOUDS Will Undoubtedly Be Fought, Accord. ing to Experts, on the “Ceiling of the Earth.” - Air experts say the next war- will be fought on “the ceiling of the earth,” and. in the saying. they give us a new expression. They fix the limit . of altitude at 25,000 feet, thereby -establishinig the héight of the ceiling above the ground. There is no reason to doubt the statement of the aviators. Indeed, military men generally express the belief that the next war will be fought largely i the air. The na- tion’ that -dominates the air in the beginning of the struggle will be the victor, they say, just as it used to be the case that the nation which dominated the sea was the victor. But, this ceiling. of the earth! What a. picturesqpe expression| These airmen crawling over the ceil ing of the earth as flies used to crawl upoit the ceiling of the home before the;advent of.the screens. That is ‘exactly what they are like—tiny in- secst far above their abode on the earth, twisting and turning in the air, swooping through and sweeping above the clouds. i Up there, out of sight from be- low; where all is eternal blue, there is where, the next war will be fought. ‘But let us believe that the genera- tion now anchored to the ground will have passéd away, and its im- mediate successors succumbed to old age, before the “ceiling of the earth” is splattered up with human wreck- age. - Why He Felt Safe.

' —the proceeds are to be used for municipal im- provements and out of the entire $185,000 issue, only $30,000 will be paid by the city at large, the $150,000 is to be assessed to benefited prop- erty, and these owners, as stated above, will most likely get half of it back from the state. cock highways running east and west and north ,apd south, from Nymore to the city limits on Irvine avenue and from the Soo right-of-way to the Birchmont road. —if the work is done without the issuing of bonds * the cost would have to be paid in a single &ear, but by voting the bonds the cost is distributed over a period of from 15 to 20 years, thus working no hardship on the taxpayers.
