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. This
splendid attraction will ti3 shown at
the Arcade theatre on Wednesday and
Thursday.

BY H. C. 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.

Origin of'Gringo"
U has been said that the word
"gringo," used in Mexico as nick
name for the people of the United
States, was nn imitation of the first
words of a song popular at the time
of the Mexican war, commencing
"firr.pn rrrmv the willows." The word
"gringo" is a Spanish epithet applied
to all foreigners, and in Mexico es
pecially to the peonle of the United
States. It hns nothing to do with the
words of the popular song mentioned,
but it n corruption of the Spanish
word "Griego," "Greek." which Wns
applied by the uneducated classes in
Spain to nil persons of foreign speech.
