farmer boys who declared he
could curve ball around a hay
stack. A deceptive delivery is a
valuable asset for pitcher, and
Pernell's short arms and quick
movements make it impossible to
tell what sort of ball he intends to
pitch.
This movement is also of great
service in holding the runner
close to the bags.
He had the farmers so muddled
with his curves that they would
boast if they were lucky enough
to even foul the ball.
Last year Bud lost against San
Francisco in a game that was
tough for pitcher to lose. He
pitched a no hit game and did
not walk a man, yet he lost by a
score of one to nothing. Suter

and held Oakland to no hits and
no runs, YET. he walked two men.
Pernoll outpitched Sutof, but the
Oakland team made two errors,
allowing a man to reach third.
Then, on a slow infeld ball, the
second baseman threw wild and
the runner scored.
During the game Pernoll field
ed his position beautifully and
did everything that any pitcher
could do to win. Most pitchers
would have roasted the infeld for
poor support, but Bud only
smiled and attributed his defeat
to tough luck.

Every house OF the many that shell

the house or garden three short pieces
of bamboo tree. cut at an acute angle
stand tied together as a pedestal from
which rises the ever glorious pine tree,
in shape something like q Christmas
tree. for the young pine is the emblem
of loyalty and life that are ever fresh

In addition, over the door of each
house is set up a lobster attached to
an orange. These are usually the gifts
of friend to express the good(D wish
that the recipient will live till the loins
are bent up like a lobster. Whether
the orange represents orange blossoms
