Which recalls the impending future Of
Joe Jackson, labeled by Gordon Mackay
as THE Carolina Crashsmith,"
For some reason or another Joseph suf-
fered n serious depletion of base hits last
summer. He finished above 300, but not
very far above, at 1903, where in the old
days his mark extended from $40 to 40S.
Jackson was transplanted last summer
from Cleveland to Chicago. This change
may have been responsible for his slump.
AS a White .Sox regular he may rise
again to his olitime heights as first mate
on the Walloping Window Blind, cap
tanned by T. Raymond Cobb. And then
again he may not. But Jackson cannot af-
ford to slump AS Ty Cobb's only batting
rival he is needed for a number of spe-
cific space-filling purposes. For three
years he gave Ty the battle of his dizzy
young life and thereby added copious
quantities to the gaiety of things.
In the matter of Jackson's slump Noll
Goldsmith had the right idea:
"lll fares the land, to Fastening Ills q
prey,
Where helders accumulate and batsmen
decay;
Pitchers or catchers may flourish or may
fade,
The Bush can make them-as the Bush
has made
But a great slugger-his townships pride

piled"
