Show 1 ' , THE BINGHAM NEWS , I Hornsby Real Boss of Cardinals Ragert Hornsby, Manager of the St. Louis Cardinals. Manager Rogers Hornsby Is boss of the St. Louis Cardinals. There has never been any doubt of It since the slugging keystone saeker took over the reins of the team In June, 1025. Hornsby's method of managing the team Is simple. There are no rules, except that the players deliver winning baseball on the diamond, and obey his orders quickly and absolutely. He has changed the system of the club-house meetings, has advised the pitcher of the day how to pitch to each batrer, has done away with as many signs as possible, does not believe In s of yesterday's game, and is open to suggestions from coaches and players. ' The Walter Unpen of the baseball world" Is one of the terms that has been applied to Hornsby. He has the motto of looking toward today's game and forgetting the defeat of yesterday. This does not mean, however, that a player can make numerous mistakes and go unreprlmanded. Such action never brings denunciations or "razzing." The reaction of the players on this system Is the Interesting part of the whole procedure. Ask them and they say bo Is the "best fellow they ever worked for. . ' AROUND THE HOME By MARGARET BRUCE The Man't Side of It Did yon ever notice that most of the bedrooms shared by husband and wife seem to be ar-ranged chiefly ifor the comfort and convenience of the lady In the caseT Her dress- - lng table stands ' In the best light, both day and eve-ning. The larg-est closet Is hers, and If there Is only one closet In the room she gets it, while Himself must hang his clothes in the closet In the ball or perhaps In the children's- - room or the guest room. His chiffonier Is stuck off In a corner, a badly lighted corner at that, and there Is no place for hlra to sit down to change his shoes unless he sits on his wife's pretty chaise tongue, strewn with chiffons and pillows. I know a woman who designed the large double sleeping room In her new home with an especial eye to the man's side of it One whole side of t the room was devoted to his in-dividual use. He could step out of ! the twin bed which he occupied di-rectly into an area filled with his own special furniture, clothing and accessories. Here, In an excellent light, was his tall chiffonier, equipped j , with plenty of room for all his brushes, ties, underclothing, shirts, socks, and pajamas. Opposite was a , commodious closet, planned for his Htitta. rnntn fihnea and tint. Her hlef thoughtfulness, however, , was the dressing table built for his use in the window nook. Here there was a charming old mahogany shaving stand, and beneath the curtains, on shelves and In drawers, were the ma. terlals and implements for a shave. , For the beautiful bathroom opening from the room was shared upon oc-casions by the occupant of the guest room Just beyond, and when I lie bath-room was not available he did not have to wait, fuming, but could shave comfortably In his own room. The splendid light from the window, .fall-ing full upon his face, was augmented by strong electric bulbs within the curtains on each side of the window. Beneath these dressing table cur-tains was the g outfit in a ' special cabinet. In fact, every possi-ble provision had been mude for his convenience, In such a way that he would not feel that be was getting In his wife's way or mussing up her dainty domain. This side of the room was sacred to him and he was entire- - ly at home there. Owning Your Own Home 1 have often wondered why It Is that there are so many renters In the world. I know a family of four who have lived In a different house or apartment every few years since they first set up housekeeping, and their children are now grown. It Is a family which loves Its home, too, and has taste In making It attractive. They take a pretty house In the suburbs and decide to "try It out for a year," and then If they like it, perhaps try to buy It They spend much time and energy In making It homelike within and without and then along comes some one who takes a fancy to it and buys It right out from under them! They have to move on, either to another house In the suburb, or to another suburb, where they "try it out" for another lease-yea- r. This seems very pathetic to me, somehow. The homelessuess of liv-ing under a roof that Is not one's own and which may be removed at any time, makes me sad. What is It that keeps renters eternnlly renting, In-stead of owning? Is It fear of the long pull necessary, over a series of years perhaps, to buy the home outright? Or Is it a restlessness. Inability to decide definitely where one wants to live? Recently I saw two young neighbors of mine, who had bought a charming cottage near us, standing arm-in-ar- ior a long nme out on tne " road In front of their house, gassing at J their own home. I thought I knew what was passing through their heads, for they were not tulklug. .This was .. their roof-tree- f their own place on the . earth, their own chimney, their front: door. Here they would settle. Into life as their shrubbery had settled Into the ground. Here their little family would r; be reared; here they would be good " .'' neighbors and worth-whil- e fltlzens here they would belong ' . ' Of course there are times when rent-ing Is not only necessary but wise. We cannot all be ln the place where we would be, and In general the con- - , tented family Is the one that can Ig- - : nore the "For Rent" columns, and raise hardy perennial flowers one year In the certainty that they will be there the next year to see the plants bloom C.P)Tlht.) , Figures on Future World Population Sir Georgn IT.

BIG MONEY PAID FOR F. BRICKELL Record Price Paid for Young Wichita Player. The sale of Freddy Brickell, nineteen- -year-old Wichita outfielder, to the Pittsburgh Pirates marked the first player deel of "the season for the Wichita and, Incident-ally, It probably sets a new record price paid for a Western league player. The deal was for cash, and two players to be delivered to. the Izztes not later thnn April 15, 1927. The ctsh consideration was not given out, but It was admitted that the deal figured In the neighborhood of $20,000, all told. ... Certainly this sets a record of top price for a youngster who only last year was playing on the sand lots, and whose professional experience previous to the year of his sale to the world's champions was limited to tn nnsuccessfnl trial with the De-catur Three--I league team. When the Wichita club reported for training last spring, Brickell asked for a trial, ne was known locally as a high school athlete of more than average ability, tnd as a pretty good baseball player. Little attention was paid to him when he first showed up at Island Park, but the second day out his hitting at-tracted Boss Isbeli. The next day he asked Mr.nager Gregory to send the youngster to the outfield that he might see how he handled himself there. That night, Freddie was signed to a Wichita contract. When the sea-son opened, he sat on the bench for a day or two, but once he broke Into the lineup he was there to stay. Hardly a dy passed that be did not distinguish himself either afield or at bat, and at once became the favorite r.nd a drawing card. Brlckell's first bid for athletic prominence came as a member of a local high school football team. He also plays basket ball and can do 100 yards at d speed. Radio in Polar Regions The MacMillan expedition to the polur regions bad radio for its only means of communication. Using low power and short wave lengths, the Bowdoln communicated with several stations In the United States while the ship was frozen in thousands of miles away. Broadcasting concerts from tbo United States stations were beard during the long, dark nights of the Arctic zone. The call letters were WNP, the slogan was Wireless North Pole, and the power was about 500 watts. .

Plenty Seats Available for Football This Fall Abont 400,000 seats will be avail-able for western conference football fans each Saturday during the cam-paign this year. And there will be 120,000 extra seats for overflow crowds. The new stand at Chicago Is responsible for. most of the extra seats. About 15,000 more fans will see the Maroons play than last sea-son. Nqrthwestern's new stadium will seat about 40,000 now, and near 00,000 when completed. Chicago will seat 70,000 when present plans are realized. Ohio State has the largest stadium In the Big Ten, with a ca-pacity of 03,000, and 20,000 more when occasion demands. Illinois can seat about 55,000 with extra space for 12,000. Indiana has a nit?b little menu rial stadium', and it seats about 22,000. The Rig Ten is gradually com-ing around to the big stadium idea, and before many years the ten schools will all have large new arenas. She Did "Woman's place is In the home." "Aw, she swum the English channel, didn't she?" Princeton Head Defends College Gridiron Sport College football, buffeted by a storm of criticism ts being overemphasized, has found a champion In the presi-dent of Princeton university, John Q. HIbben. .Declaring that 'he only real opposi-tion to the gridiron sport comes from those outside the universities who are not Interested by family ties or other associations w'th colleges, President HIbben paid tribute to Princeton's championship ''Big Three" team as having "done something which will make them useful citizens." "I have been told that publicity would ru!n these young men. but I do not believe It," he said. "It has been stld that there Is too great em-phasis of football. That complaint does not come from those inside our colleges at least, I can speak for Harvard, Yale and Princeton. It cemes from outside. We emphasize footall for a season and then forget It," The one great central Interest, he said, wr.s "to be worthy of Prince-ton and the country we have to serve." Gertrude Ederle surely Is one girt who doesn't hang her clothes on a hickory limb, etc. Promoter Pyle says this fall he will have more professional tennis stars lined up than you "can shake a stick at." . . . And he will get them, obviously, by shaking a check at them. At last a practical use has been found for golf stockings by the Wash-ington man who secreted $29 in his, aud the money was overlooked by two thugs who robbed him. American golfers have kept the Walker cup ever since It was put up by George Herbert Walker, former president of the United States Golf association, In 1920. They say there are over 5,000 golf courses In this country. In time we suppose our people may abandon the drudgery of the farm and put all the terrain In golf courses, v After the great (nventor had de-signed a football stadium In which every seat was on. a 50-ya- Hue the cry arose for an boxing ring to be Surrounded ringside seats. . If Helen Wills wants another match with Suzanne Lenglen, all she will have to do will be to hire a mauager and charge money for exhibiting her skill. It took a lot of nerve, wisdom and expert figuring for, the United States ..Golf association to decide that Bobby Jones Is the best amateur golf player In thfe United States. It is estlmuted that In an entire life-time the average bathing beauty speeds almost as much time In the water as Trudle did In the channel crossing. ,. . Tiger Flowers, the middleweight champion, has been knocked out by Panama Joe Cans, Sam Langford, Lee Anderson, Jamaica Kid and twice by Kid Norfolk and Jack Delaney. It Is estimated that Sir Thomas Lip ton lias spent close to $10,(XX),0)0 try-ing to win back for Great Britain the cup America had taken away 75 years ago. He proposes to spend another $1,000,(H)0 for a yacht to pit against America's defender. Speaker and Joe Sewell Bother to All Pitchers Pitchers of the various American league clubs lnsiut that Trls Speaker and Joe Sewell of Cleveland are two of the hardest men to pitch to. Sewell is a tough proposition be-cause he is so short he does not af-ford the pitcher much latitude, there being little distance between Joe's shoulders and knees. Both Trls and Joe are troublesome Individuals be-cause each ts the possessor of a won-derful pair of eyes. Sewell was the marvel of the major leagues last season In that he struck out four times. Speaker fanned 12 tines and drew 70 passes, while Sewell walked 64 times. It Is a safe bet that each will strike out more times that he did In 1925, for Sewell already has fanned five times and Speaker ten 'times. Longest Grid Run Made on Lardner's Kick-O- ff There ulways has been some dispute as to the longest run ever made in a football game. The longest run ever made In a football game was reeled off by East, halfback on the Nlles high school team of Michigan, date 1904. In that game East ran back a mighty kick-of- f delivered by Ring Lnrdner, of the high school veterans' team, Just 1.10 yards. Impassible? Here Is the evidence from the Nlles Dally Sun of 22 years ago. presented In a story of the game: t . "A feature of the game was East's long run for a touchdown, catching the ball 20 yards back of the goal line on Lardner's record-breakin- kick-of- f which carried over the goal bar. East, from 20 yards back of the goal line, traversed the entire field and ran ISO yards to a touchdown." The field in. those days was 110 yards lulerigth, so the ad'led 20 yards sets a record- .which probably will never be broken. Zuppke Meets Pupil if It will be master against pupil when the University of Illinois football team meets the strong Iowa State uni-versity eleven in the Illinois stadium In the opening conference game at Urbana.

Just a few steps over the Interna-tional boundary line at Nognles, Ariz., is a bull ring erected several years ago on an auspicious occasion when luan Sllvetr, ace of Mexican "torea-dors," visited there and fought. The ring saw Its debut and finale on the self-sam- e day, for with the conclusion of the Silvetl appearance no further bull fights have been given. Then came boxing, a general re-building ami a new sport. Within the arena there appeared tiers of seats, a ring and thousands of followers of the padded fist. I'.ull fighting gave un-contested supremacy to fighting. The applause und plaudits of the public, once dircited at famed torea-dors, are now for the slugser and I puncher. |
