GIANT TEAM TO BE REVAMPED National League Bali Clul Is Undergoing Changes By Manager McGraw St. Louis, Mo., May 15. — (Unitei Press.) The New York Giants long the cork-sure, two fisted club of thf National League—are in the need ol youth and fight, and John McGraw, whose playing name was "Muggsy" it going to furnish that fight, lie indicated today. The first step in revamping the one time champions who, on the present road trip have been dropping games so consistently that they are now al tlie bottom of the first division —was the releases handed to Heinie Groh and Artie Nehf yesterday. Groh, a 10-year man, was released outright. N< hf goes to the Cincinnati Reds. "No other changes are in view for the immediate future," McGraw said as he leaned out over the dugout when his team started preparations for battle with the Cards. “However, we must have some new life —some of tlie old Giant fight," he added. The Giants apparently overheard the remark for they went about defeating St. game which incidentally was the first one the New Yorkers had won in six starts. The release of Nehf and Groh takes a bit of color from the team from Manhattan. Both are veteran campaigners and treir names have been prominently connected with recent world’s series in which the Giants have figured. Nehf —now 34 years old—was cne cf the mainstays of the Giant pitching staff and only a few years back was considered the big Bertha of the Giant firing squad. Heinie G.oh —now 34 yeais old—has been one of the colorful artists of baseball for years. His great third-basing, his peculiar stance at bat and the famous "bottle bat." with which he managed to stay among the league’s leading hitters, made him one of the popular players. This year he has played little, owing to the dazzling work being turned out by young Freddie Lindstrom who has been starring both at bat and on the defense. Grob probably will go to Cincinnati, his home and wait Major League offers as he has served 10 years in tlie “big show,” therefore can not lie waived into the minors. o Butler Sends AH Teams Into Action Next Week Indianapolis, May 15—Butler athletes in all branches of sport will be In action during the coming week in some of the most important events of the season. The baseball team will journey to Franklin on Tuesday fcr the second game with the Baptist outfit, while on the same day the yearling baseball squad will be in action against Wabash at Crawfordsville. Chadd, who turned back the Franklin team in the first game, will probably get the call in the game Tuesday, while Captain Ewing is the likely choice to work on Irwin Field on Saturday when State Normal comes for a return game. The teachers took a one run victory from the Bulldogs last week and Coach Hinkle will make every effort to even up the count on Saturday. After these games the Buldogs have only one more battle, with Wabash at Indianapolis, cn May 28 and the entire Butler student body is pulling for another victory over the Scarlet. The track squad, led by Captain Phillips, will go into action at the state meet at Bloomington on Saturday. Only a few men will be entered and followers of the teapi are not expecting to place very high in the scoring column, but are looking forward to some stellar performances on the part of Phillips and his mates. The varsity tennis squad, led by Captain Sagalowsky, will compete in the state court meet at Muncie on Friday and Saturday. Sagalowsky won the singles last year but is expected to have harder going this year as Notre Dame and Purudue are reported to have strong entries. The yearling baseball, track and ' golf teams will all be in action at Cui ver Saturday. The Cadets unusually strong this year in all sports and the Bulldogs are in for a hard day 11 they hope to finish on the long end o! the count. The Culver events will dost the season for the Freshman teams o—> — Brazil — A mammoth gray eagle measuring seven feet from tip to tij of its wings, was killed near here.

There is Ralph Mulford, ( ' and Eddie Hearne, and Dave Lewis and Earl Cooper. We older genera- f 1 tion of pilots should be able to choose v 1 sides and race the youngsters. ' “And then, too, in case we older 1 fellows can’t measure up to the speed ■ of the youths, we could run a toot 1 race around the track for the edification of the fans. I probably would ' have to be handicapped in such a race ] as I have had the unfair advantage ‘ of walking around the track—espec- ! tally in\l9l2. He latlghed out loud when he read , part of the sheaf of letters that were , 1 awaiting his arrival. One was from f ! a street car motorman who offers to ( • drive one of De Palma’s two cars ( ' entered at Indianapolis, “for 50 per ( | cent of the prize winnings, promising ( I, not to put on the brakes, except go- ] 1 1 ing around the track." < 1 As a recommendation the motor- j \ man cited, “that is seven years of ( 0 driving street cars, he has not had e one single accident." , Another young man, who wants to , Ibe a driver, got into the details of 4 d au accident in which he was the , '■ hero, to prove that he is worthy of , y the driving chance he begs. e An Italian in Chicago pleads for Ralph to “just let him drive around , the track once." 10 But De Palma merely bundled the , s - letters up. saying he would answer them later. He receives hundreds of e. such letters each year. ip o The Dally Democrat—Your Home Paper

At the wheel of a stock roadster, Chevrolet will send the field under the barter’s flag at a flying start of

80 miles an hour. He will be. accompanied on the pace lap by T. E. “Pop’ Myres, general manager of the speedway. Chevrolet is one of the really picturesque figures of the speed sport and one of the most ancient as time is reckoned in the automobile indus--1 try. Born in France, he knew nothing about automobiles until he came to this country in 1900 when he began racing experiences with tlje very founding of the Industry. He raced motor tricycles in Europe before the experimental stage of the industry was out of its swaddling clothes. In his first appearance as a racing driver, Chevrolet established a world’s record by driving a mile at the old Morris Park track in Chicago in 52 4-5. He was the hero of one of the most spectacular scenes in automobile racing. when his car caught tire durinjj. a race at the Sheepshead Bay track just outside ot New York City. Flames leaped through the thin floorboard so rapidly that before he could put on the brakes he was forced to stand in his seat to keep from being burned alive. Around the track. Chevrolet and his mechanic swept. Louis driving us he stood in the seat. As the car lost momentum and slowed to GO miles an hour he grazed the car along the pit walls until it was rolling slowly enough to permit him and his mechanic to jump tr. safety. Chevrolet now makes h's home in Indianapolis. o— PRESIDENT OF POLAND AND CABINET RESIGN <contini:ed from pige onki are General Sikorski and General Stanislaw Mailer.

MODERN SUNROOM A TRUE “MAGNET” Secret of Its Popularity Lies in Gay Informality; Color May Run Riot By Adele Wyman Di your children do tlie Charleston’ll Most likely. Tha'’s symbolic of the general quest for run, for life, for color that's gomg on now. Never have we known so well howto live comfortably ami enjoyably. When we took the stuffiness out of the “best parlor” a few years ago and threw open the doors on a more livable scheme we pattml ourselves on the backs for having awakened to the greater possibilities for comfort in our homes. But my, oh my, how we’ve stretched the possibilities since then! Every loom has been piled for the fullest satisfaction it could give and more than that, a few rooms have been tucked on for the sole purpose of giving us more space to stretch out and lie comfortable. Some sort of a sun room has come to be looked upon as a necessary part of every well-planned home. And whether it’i little or large, this is the room that’s a veritable magnet, draw- , ing to it in rest and recreation hours cvsry member of the family. It’s not strange that the sunroom has become the favorite family gathering place in the house. Hooded with light and color and warmed by a pleasant lightheartedness, isn’t it natural that this should be the general drawing point when weary people seek refreshment after theday’s hard work. The living roam comforts. But there’s an air of reserve and dignity about this room. It doesn’t provide the stimulus to tired nerves that the thoughfu’.lypianned sunroom does. Nowhere else is there so good a chance to let pur color fancies run free as in the sunroom. Here great informality is the watchword. A careful mixture of flamboyant — and we have a room whose personality strikes itself against that of every other room in the house, and is most J satisfying for its contrast with morel staid, sometimes monotonous schemes. Plan “Scheme” First Bue where to begin when a glasswalled roopi devoid of everything but sunshine looks blak’.y at one, waiting for the fitments that are going to make it satisfying—or not? With the floor? The furniture? The hangings? No. I'efo'e all these must come tlie color scheme. ' To be brief and 1 conserve space for a discussion of other things that Help to make up a perfect sunroom, it might be well to
