As a result, when the average player isn't hitting, his head goes down and he frets and worries so much he can't field, either. Fraak Crosctti is an exception. The Yankee shortstop, in the company of a bombing crew, doesn't hit much more than his weight, yet every day he is out there hustling and playing a great game of ball. No player in either major league gives a smoother performance from ane end of a season to the other.

Crosetti, of course, has spurts in which he will average .300 or over and when he hits a ball solidly, he can drive it a long way, having a fine wrist action that makes up for the size and weight that most power hitters have.

In ne detail m uuwevex, British traditionalism again prevails. Sir Muirhead Bone, official artist of the World war, is again officially appointed as the artist of the navy, and it is understood that he also will render the graphic records of the conflict on land as well. Sir Muirhead, 64 years old, of Scottish birth, is one of the world's most distinguished etchers. He is also a painter, but in the years between the big wars he has turned more to etching. That is, with the trend of the times, as a modern war is decidedly an etcher's war. Skeleton trees on a blasted hillside, trenches, the splintered chaos of peasants' huts, the angular dynamics of war machinery, all lend themselves to Sir Muirhead's superlative drypoint. There isn't much of the painter's mass and color in an war no gay plumes, bright uniforms and snorting black horses. There are, instead, the sullen monochromes of desolation, the Inert black and white of sharply .raven ruin. There were plenty of bands playing when Sir Muirhead was appointed official war artist in 1916. He painted boldly or etched deeply his pictures for the war museum, for which he later became trustee. Much was made, not only of the importance of a minutely observed pictorial record of the war, but of the availability of so great an artist to render its full aesthetic values. This time, there is a perfunctory announcement, only a few lines, of Sir Muirhead's appointment. Not even in the graphio arts is war getting its accustomed fanfare. This writer remembers well Sir Muirhead's masterful drawings in the "international studio" of an earlier and happier day mellow architectural studies, or placid landscape in English byways where no airraid siren ever sounded. He was the son of a Glasgow journalist, studying art at a night school. It was in 1901 that he went to England, to become an honorary doctor of letters at Oxford and one of the most famous artists of England. He has exhibited in New York several times and has an enthusiastic following among critics and the American art public. zig-za- g Rep. John E.

Representative Miller, running as an independent against "machine politicians," achieved a sensational victory, as he won the seat of the late Joe T. Robinson. He was the first independent elected to a major political office in Arkansas since the early reconstruction days. His success was acclaimed as a triumph over patronage politics. Today, by one of those curious reversals of political form which make news, Senator Miller Is the most conspicuous opponent of the extension and strengthening of the Hatch law, directed mixagainst political ing in politics. He would not only block Its extension to cover state supported in part by federal funds, but he would repeal section nine which bars governmental employees from political activity. The lean, bespectacled Senator Miller is somewhat professorial in appearance, and, incidentally, was graduated from Cape Girardeau Teachers' college, in Valparaiso, Ind. However, he later turned to the law and has been a practicing attorney in Searcy, Ark., since 1912. He was prosecuting attorney and county Judge before his election to the house in 1930.
