ARC A DE STEVENSON'S "LITTLE COM RADE" PICTURIZED. When .Buxton E. Stevenson wrote ".Little Comrade," the novel from which "On Dangerous Ground" the lates World Picture Brady-Made has been filmed, he wrote a striking and thrilling tale. When the novel was published in Munscy's Magazine it made an instant impression. Motion picture producers instantly endeav ored to secure the rights for its screen production, but the World Film Cor poration was the successful bidder. No expense and not time has been spared in making this production a notable event. As directed by Robert Thornby the action moves at a high rate of speed. There is not a single slack moment from the time I lie film starts until its conclusion. T'U. ;nter iors and exteriors are beuutiful and the photography is perfect.

HAMILTON (United1 Press Staff Correspondent) New York, July 24. Eddie Collins undoubtedly is feeling his age just a little bit. Always a slow starter, he is lagging more than ever thi sea son in finding the pitching. His aver age is lower now than is his custom at this time of the year. Collins is fielding just as brilliant ly, thinking just ns rapidly, and is not slowing perceptibly in his base-mn-nncr. His nDnearances on first base, however, have been too few to allowi much base stealing or run-scoring. F.vpii when Collins was with the Mnr.lt nmphine and eniovine the height of his ability, it always required a few weeks or more than a montn ior mm to reach the zenith of his batting stride. Usually the end of a season found him disputing batting premier ship with Ty Cobb and Joe Jackson, although his average never reached the top notches set .by those batting stars. If Collins were to swing into his old-time batting form nt this stage of the race his assistance would be suf ficient in itself, it is believed by most critics, to carry the Sox to a cham pionship. And, if he should suddenly receive the assistance of Joe Jack son's old-time Cleveland form, the American league race probably would be over just about as suddenly. Strangely, neither Jackson nor Col lins hns been nble to hit the season's opening with batting strength since Ummmn members of the White Sox. Jackson's average never was so low as it is now, and he seems totally ln- apable of throwing off the slump. tv. riT-nn of this nnir in batting is one thing the dope overlooked in pick ing the White Sox as favorites in the ir.v.nor.n sprnmble. Thev nre the play ers who make the Sox or wreck them. Even with their batting low their ef forts are sufficient inspiration to oth er members of the team to count a great deal. ff a ' ImuiT em, GEO.

The word "gringo" is a Spanish epithet applied to all foreigners, and in Mexico es pecially to the peonle of the United States.
