 A THREATENING PITCHING MO- TON.
 That makes the rneanest battera step back, is one asset that Is help boot' pitcher obtained from Port land make a name for himself with the Detroit Tigers. A seni-cross-alre motion gives the ball the appearance of coming straight at a right-hand hitter.
 Dispatches last Spring stated that Detroit had purchased PilIette and Sylvester Johnson, two hur1ers. from the Portland club. It came out later that Johnson was the major portion Of the deal and that Pillette was good neasure'. The Tigers gave the coast club $4o.0oO for the pair.
 Now Pillette looms up as the find of the season for the Tigers. Three victories over the Indians in a row ments.
 Pillette is not a ca11ow youth. He was tried out by Cincinnati in 1917 and had been playing pro ball at least a season before that. He was sent back to the coast by the Reds and pitched in the west until grab bed by the Tigers.
 Last season with Portland he won 13 and lost 30 games, while striving in vain to pitch Portland out of last place. He worked something like PTS innings.

Billy Whiiskers
By Francis Trego Montgomery

Billy, Stubby and Button nosed | around and were in everyone's way I as they listened to the talk that went on while the airships were being as sembled on the island. 'HThese men from France, Italy, Spain, Germany and Russia, all sound like a lot of chattering mon keys when they try to talk to each othe,,." said Billy.
 Indeed they do!' agreed Stubby.
 What do you think they are all over here for?'' said Button.
 ITO test there different craft and see which country has the most per feet, I think,'' said Billy.
 'tAs near as I can make out from their conversation said Stubby, T believe they are planning an endur- ance contest to show which make of air craft is the best for long distance, and they propose starting from this island and flying to San Francisco. And I also heard that prominent peo- pie from all parts of the world have cluibbed together, and are offering a prize of fifty thousand dollars to be given to the one that makes the trip in the shortest tiIne.'
 Gee whiz! I don't envy them the trip, for it must be drea adful1y cold up there in the clouds look just like snow banks from here. and I hear that hail, thunder and lightning come from tn ose dark ones. I won- der how it would seem to be up in the midst of them when the lightning was flashing and the thunder roII- tng?''
 %I guess" repGied Stuhby, -that when they see a storm coming on, they fly higher up to get above it, or else come down and wait until 1t is over.''
 What do you think about 1t. Butt ton?" asked Billy.
 "Tu tell you what I think, and that is that if I get a good chance, I am going up with any one of those fellows that will take me, and find out for my sels Don't you re- member what fun we all had the lime we went up in that fashioned 5alloon that had a, basket fastened to it for us to sit tn?"
 'HVnl I ever forget it?' said Stubby.
 "Or I either?" said Billy. "'Es- pecia1Iy the time we had the close call ana dropped on the sailing ves- sCl instead of in the ocean. Button, I wish you had not put that thought into my head, for now you have spoken or 1t, shall think Of It and plan to sail with one of those young fellows sure as my name is Billy EVhiskers. But how I am to make my big body stick in one of those things that is composed of only a. plane or two, a. few bolts and bars and two chairs, I don't knowl Of course, I could squeeze myself into one of the chairs if sat up as people do, but that not being my natural position, I'd tire quickly. Still, could do it for a while, and I believs I will just trot over and have Q. look a them again and see what I can do.''

DINNER STORIES

When a rich American girl mar ries foreign notability she rules him, the saying is, with a rod of iron; but when a rich American man marries a proud foreign girl he is apt to get 1t in the neck.
 In the early eighties g. millionaire named George 1T. Skinner married beautiful French girl of the highest social position. When Mrs. Skinner would go shopping in Paris and the shop attendant would ask her for her name, she would answer haughtily:

Tentative approval by the Board of
Education Of q plan to teach English
on large scale to adult foreigners
was announced at the monthly meeting
Of the Allied Patriotic societies at
Praunces tavern. The proposal con
templates enlisting the assistance of
the 100000 students In the upper
grades Of the city's schools, who are
grounded In the speaking, reading and
writing Of grammatical English, In the
performance Of what Is regarded as a
civic service, looking forward to the
hetterment Of the whole community,
says the New York Tribune. The for.
eiW.tongue colony, 1t Is pointed out, is
now recognized as one Of the greatest
evils attendant upon the overgrowth
Of large cOngested cities, and the com.
mittee's suggestion for a more rapid
amalgamati0n Of aliens Is that a large
number Of these students be encour-
aged each to undertake the instruc.
