II either Bender or Plank fails to
show as good forln as last season,
Mack will be little better on than
Griffith when II comes to pitching.
Here's the situation IN a nutshell:
Let GrifY pull through two OF his
young pitchers and let either Bender
or plank faiter for the Meckmen and
the Griffites will probably land the
bunting.
Remember that with all his mis-
fortunes Griffith finished only six and
one-half games behind Mack last sea-

Why the HoundIess DardaneIIes?

Why did Homer call the Dardanelles
broad" or ''boundless." although at
the point where Leander and Byron
swan it the breadth is barely mile?
Byron's comment is very neat THE
wrangling about the epithet the broad
Hellespont,' or the 'boundless Helles-
pont,' whether il means one or the
other. or what it means at all, has been
beyond all possibility of detail. have
even heard it disputed on the spot,
and, not foreseeing speedy conclu-
sion to the controversy, amused my
self with swimming across it in the
meantime. and probably may again
before the point is settled =.
Probably Homer had the same notion
of distance that coquette has OF
time, and when he talks Of boundless
means half mile, as the latter, by a
like figure, when she says eternal at
tachment simply specifies three
weeks"
