Chiekasha will have practically new
teams and Drumright will have more
new men than old ones. according to
reports from that oil town.
He Has a Future
Mitchell went to Drumright as a
f%rstbascman. During a pitcher short
age he went to the mound, where he
displayed so much stuff that he be-
came a regular finger. Recalled
during the closing days Of the Wes-
tern league race, he won four games
and lost three for the tribe. Breen
declares Mitchell has the best curve
of any southpaw he has ever seen in
action in years. Holland likens him
to Buster Mails Of the Cleveland
worlds champions. Both are con-
ident that since he has shown so
much after only twenty-six games, he
will develop into a consistent winner
for the Indians this year.

But Our GeoPraDhy Puzzles Hin

Il know more about your history than
90 about your geography. Many things
about the latter puzzles, ii is revealed to
me by the way they take me about. When
| went to Baltimore the wonder could not
be repressed as to why they did not take
me on to Washington. AS read the his
tory of your civil war imbbed the notion
that the capital of the country was very
near Maryland, and have heard since that
Baltimore is connected by tram with Wash
ington Yet they take me to Pittsburg and
bring me back TO Washington. When
give voice TO my wonder they tell me that
I am lecturer. Perhaps that fact explains
everything.

always remain colossal is, indeed. due 10

faculty OF asking questions that are easy to

difficult TO find subjects that may prove

THE sacred symbol Of the waffle has in

the author of "Heretics,' THE Flying Inn

reason he said it was because he wished to
put himself straight on the puzzling ques-
ton of a difference between doughnut and
a cruller.
AS l never saw either one and draw my
incomplete knowledge of both from pictures
and hearsay evidence. i must withhold per-
sonal testimony. But on the subject of the
waffle I am strong. When first heard OF
it, or read about it, cannot remember. but
through my childhood in London perennial
ambition was to eat--I am not sure but that

tons took 1t for sweet-and so my am
bition was to suck the waffle
