their heads off. They practice long
and hard. Those who aren't work
ing their level best needn't bother
to unpack their grips. They are on
the edge of a journey, and it will
carry them to some Glass c or D
league
THE Gillespie benefit game
against the Soldiers will give
Bill Smith a chance to get line
on three of his Herring,
Hartner and Bausewein.
Smith warmed up Herring yes
terday afternoon and was amazed
at the stuff" the tall Arkansas
lad displayed. OF course, his arm
isn't anywhere near strong yet, but
he showed all sorts of things.
Herring is one of the few living
men who can break a spitball either
way Most spitball pitchers, If
truthful will admit that when they
throw the spitball they know it
will break, but they don't know
where. and they don't care much,
for it's a puzzle to hit if it breaks
at all A few specialists-Russ
Ford is one of them-can break
spitbaIl out and in. This stunt
Herring can do at will
He showed Smith his splitter
that breaks out in yesterdays
warmup.
Now, then, let's see you break it
in" said Smith.
Much obliged; no, thank you.
replied Herring.
why not, arm weak YETI" asked
Smith
NO, it's strong enough" was the
rejoinder. but ! don't want to
jerk it. That reverse break is a
terror. and I don't want to use it
until I have to. TIN come all right
when I'm ready"
And Smith didn't even have to
take his word for it. Last fall in
Washington Bill worked out Her
ring and Old Arkansas showed him
the, double breaking splitter and,
as Smith says, more stuff than I
ever saw in my life before"
Gentle hint No. l Watch this
man from Arkansas. \ lot of the
experts believe he will stick. Among
them is Bill Smith, though he will
not quite admit it yet, even to him

second baseman. II Miller should
be shifted back from first to sec
ond. where he belongs, we would
have to print an apology for these
remarks. as Miller was one Of the
finds of the decade as a second
baseman.
Miller also made a very credita
BILE first baseman, but Merkle made
considerably more than that. He
is one OF the new marvels at first
base, Of the type of which Hal
Chase was the forerunner. Chase
still is forerunning, but Merkle,
Konetchy Daubert and these chaps
are following close.
IN the outfield the difference is
decidedly in favor of the Pirates.

sar used to say, or in a group Ca
rey Wilson and Hoffman are bet
ter outfelders and make a better
outfield than Murray, snodgrass

T HESE things being soto quote
the same gentleman again-and
the Pirates the better team on pa
per. why is it that they come toll
ing in after our boys season after
season? We are not going to make
a secret Of It, It's because they
are not better team. They are
great bunch OF ball players and
the Giants are a great team. That
is the big difference.
When you watch the Pirate team
perform you get the impression
that here are nine men, each one
conscientiously trying to win
ball game in his own way When
you see the Giants at work it is as
plain as Chief Meyers bat that
here are nine men trying to win a
ball game I'm one way-and that
way is McGraw's.
MGRAW has beaten great ball
Az players with inferior ball play
ers because he has drilled into his
young men that no individual star
ring makes up for an instant's for
getting. that each man must work
with the other eight McGraw
likes stars. They are drawing
cards. They help the box office at
the ball park as much as they do
at the theater. But In both cases
they are likely to raise the dick
ems in the company unless there is
a strong hand over them McGraw
has one OF the strongest paws that
ever landed on swell head and
reduced the swelling. That is why
year after year.

Smith can hardly wait to see
Hartner under fire. Bill doesn't oft
en- slop over about a pitcher fresh
from semi professional ranks. But
he's plum daffy' over this Detroit
kid. He looks so like Castleton in
practice that Smith is keen to give
him the test Of a hard game. If he

CONSIDERING recent cyclones,

the diamond was impossible. but

MT much to say,
II you had called a year ago and then
again today
No need for anyone to tell for you
could plainly see
just what our God has done for us,
has done for Jim and me.
Chorus:
The pail that holds the milk today he
used to fill with beer,
But he's not spent cent for drinks
in now almost year.
just look into the cupboard, sir, -
there's sugar, -four and tea
That's what our God has done for us
has done for Jim and me.
He useo to sneak along the street, his
head Bonded low
As if he was ashamed to meet the
friends he used to know,
But now he walks with bead upright,
bis steps are bold and free,
That's what our God has done for us,
He's done for Jim and me.
I used to be afraid of him when COM
ing home at night,
But now it gives me Joy supreme and
fills me with delight, +.
The baby plays around his chair and
climbs upon his knee,
That's what our God has done for us,
He's done for Jim and me-
He used to smoke dirty pipe and
chew the filthy weed, ....
But by the second grace of God he was
entirely freed,
And now our dimes and nickles to-
bacco will not see,
That's what our God has done for us,
He's done for Jim and me.
I used to love this giddy world, and
oft its praises sing,
But Jesus blood has cleansed my heart
and saved me from such things.
l give that money to our Lord and
heather DER the sea,
That's what our God has done for us,
He's done for Jim and me.
On mornings when be goes to work
kneel right down and say,
Father, in heaven, bless dear Jim
and keep him safe today"
And every night, before we sleep,
give thanks on Bonded knee,
That's what our God has done for us,
He's done for Jim and me.
