Jake May. a southpaw pitcher
from the Vernon club OF the Pacific
Coast League. Is thu very latest ex'
ample Of the great uncertainty OF
the national pastims.
In che spring Of 1921 May was
picked TO win a regular berth on the
pitching staff OF the St. Louis Car
dlnals. In the series with the Browns
he justified that belief by working
two fine games.
Shortly after the opening Of the
season he lost control entirely and
despite his great natural ability was
unable 10 win for the Cardinals.
Manager Hickey had designs on
the National League pennant. He
felt that he needed a winning south
paw 10 turn the trick. The poor
showing of May in the early games
caused Hickey TO lose faith in hinf
Hickey wanted a southpaw. His
scouts reported TO him that BIZ
Bailey, a veteran big Lacquer, was
the best left-handed prospect in the
minors. They figured Bailey's ex
perience would help him get by.
Hickey sought a southpaw who
could take his turn as a regular and
win a majority OF his games.
Rickev had lost confidence in May
to such an extent that he was per
fectly willing to send May to the
Beaumont club of the Texas League
in exchange for Bailey. May met
with just $3.50 success in that organ
ization.
In the fan Of 1921, Vernon Of the
Pacific Coast League made a trade
which brought May from the Texas
to that league. Vernon needed
southpaw and May looked like the
best bet in the minors.
Last season May was one OF the
shining lights OF the Coast League.
The southpaw had a wonderful year
winning 35 and losing nine games.
He was the most talked-about pitcher
on the coast.
May originally cost the st. Louis
$3.50. When the Cardinals

The Radio Industry.

There is a large field for the National Radio
Chamber Of Commerce recently organized in
Washington. Although the industry is yet in
the infant class, it has developed such dimen-
sions that the central organization just formed
should find plenty to do from the beginning. Its
experts should be able to suggest remedies for
much of the confusion that independent Toms,
Dicks and Harrys have created and SYSTEMATIC
and coordinate this countrys radio activities
into more smoothly working piece OF national
machinery. Secretary Hooyer has promised
the chamber hearty cooperation and support of
his department, so it starts out without finding
that its hands are tied by the government.
There is to be an excellent opportunity abroad
for the sale OF wireless equipment which Amer
lean manufacturers should not overlook, but
before they see too many lines for that trade it
would be well to center attention on the situa-
ton at home. Nothing will advertise our radio
equipment over the world like demonstrated
American supremacy, and hence it is better bus
mess policy to strive for betterments here at
home as early as possible This means to strive
not only for equipment efficiency, but for ma
tional system. Thus far radio activities in the
United States have been much like kite with
too little tail. The requisites demanded are
greater balance and coordination.

Good Old Shanty Days.

Have you noticed that city boys no longer
muild shanties? OF course a few shanties
tremble here and there in the metropolitan
tuition of boyhood, is on the wane, headed for
extinction. 1t is part of the Jail existence in
which the city lad is being walledN If the boys
knew what they were missing restoring peace
in the family would be harder job than settling
the periodical crisis in Europe. Many men
would not trade their delightful memories of
shanty days for large bag of gold. Probably
you remember one and the thrill of creation
that pursated through you and the gang when
you contemplated the finished masterpiece. The
roofing was old linoleum, tar paper or fiat
strips from tin cans melted apart in bonfire.
The lumber came from everywhere and in all
sizes, torn from back fence in emergency
There was all kinds of lrpber lying around
loose in those days. And the kind hearted, I'M
derstanding crew of the planning mills was
wiling to donate seconds" Those days are
gone. 1t probably would take SO to get enough
scrap lumber to put up shanty of one room.
When the early pioneers built their log cabins
their sons imitatively went into the forest and
constructed their own play dwellings out of
saplings and small logs. In this way they
learned the principles of cabin construction
Later, in the days when square meal could
be had for quarter, the lads built shanties out
of old lumber, incidentally developing their
building instanct. The loss in the passing of
the shanty is more than sentimental 1t is the
extinction of a pastime for developing the
building instinct in youth.
