NEW YORK. Aug. 29. — The dlffci
cnees between the White Sox nnd th<
~ i Red Sox — not to speak of other Am
I erienn league baseball clubs — Is no
| enough In I he Red Sox favor tQ glvi
Jark Ram- any feeling of top heavl
ness.
For the first time In several yean
strenuous efforts nre being made t<
| strengthen the world's champions. O
course, all managers are always try
ing to add strength to their clubs
but real efforts »o get any certaii
eng have not been made in Boston Am
erican league circles for several years
At the start of the season Barr;
kept Agnew. a strong, heady catcher
on the benc'i, nnd worked Cady am
Thomas almost exclusively. He nov
has discovered that Agnew, is the lies
| of the three and the former Brownie
| is getting all the heavy work. Cad;
j has been found to be too slow, am
Thomas too much of a machine.
President Frozen recently mad*
Clarke Ciriffith an offer for Catchei
Henry, of the Senators, but the Wash
ington club could not sec it that way
at all.
Barry is still combing the Amerlcar
league for surplus backstopping ma
j terial. but is having little luck.
Barry, by the way. is finding the lift
of a manager particularly trying. Ilf
has practically given up active play
and is spending his time on the bench
while Harold Janvrin does the second
basing. Few successful playing man
agers ever have been noted In the ma
jors. Probably the only recent ex
ception was Miller Huggins or the
Cardinals, and he has been much more
successful since he abandoned the dia
m on d.
Connie Mack is dissatisfied with his
school boy wonder shortstop. Lawton
Witt, and has displaced him In favoi
of a recruit named Dugan. Witt has
not been hitting at the proper gall
to suit the men who used to run that
marvellous $100,000 infield.

f MY SIN
i The Book mit* wo onll not cow.
1 To covet Is surely a sin:
Since this Is so there does not live
A greater sinner than I have been!
When I enter a home of comfort,
Where love and Joy abide.
Envy fills me—for I’m alone—
No loved ones by my side!
When I see a wife with husband true,
Who loves and honors her.
Above all other things on earth.
My tho'ts with envy stir!
When I see a mother clasp her babe
Close to her loving breast—
I envy her the bliss she feels —.
I long for her treasure blest!
So many things I covet
With jealous burning heart—
So much in life I long for,
In which I have no part!

BOCHE REPAYS KINDNE8S
AFTER 47 YEARS.
(By United Press)
PARIS, Aug. 28. — French kindness
to a German prisoner 47 years ago Is
bearing fruit today. Early in the war
of 1870 French troops took a young
German officer prlaoner and put him
In a prison camp for the duration of
the war. During the long weary
months of waiting for peace the offi
cer and his companions were given
every latitude of privilege that a war
prisoner could ask.
Today Marcel Richard, a young
French sous officer, and his com
patriots In the German prison camp at
Melster are reaping the benefit. The
German officer prisoner of 1870, now
too old for active military service. Is
commandant' of the prison camp.
Young Richard has written home to
bis folks in Paris for his tennis flan
nels and shoes, telling them why he is
able to enjoy this recreation.
The commandant is not only allow
ing bis charges every possible free
dom, but has purchased the tennis out
fit/— net. racquets, balls, etc. — front
his own pocket.
