any way with his being one of the
stars of the game today despite the
fact that il is considered harder to
pitch consistently than it was years
ago. There are two reasons for this:
The ball is believed to be much livelier
and the batters are not as sconserva-
tive in their hitting, taking a cut at
the ball at any old time.
Alexander believes it is more of a
puzzle to pitch at present than in
other years because the hurler never
knows when the man at the plate will
hit. In the old days if the count were
two and nothing or three and nothing
the twirler could lay the ball over the
plate without fear of having it driven
over some fence, but he cannot do
that in these days. He has to bear
down at all times.
Yet with this change in the system
of playing ball Alexander continues
to shine and thus far is the most
consistent winner on the Cub team.
He is far from being through.
Alexander attributes his success to
the rest he gave his arm in the winter
at Catalina island. He went there
on the advice of the clubs doctor, who
examined and treated his wage arm
before the season closed. Doctor Pitts
found a ligament out of place and
slightly stretched back of the elbow,
and told the big twirler the only thing
that would help him vas a thorough
vacation. Alexander took it and said
he has not had a bit of trouble with
1t this season. The only stiffness he
has felt has been in the shoulder, and
he says that after every game
and works out the next day.

SILENCE APPRECIATED

Newcomers to the game of
golf should be informed that 1t
isn't advisable to make audible
remarks about players. When
you see a player miss the ball
or drive 1t into the woods, of
course there are numerous fun
ny remarks which may be made
about the proceeding, but it is
not always a display, of wisdom
to do it. Once upon a time,
when a player missed the ball
on the tee a spectator called at
tention to the fact. After the
spectator got out of the hospi-
tai he spent most of his time
advising against the practice,
until now it has gone out of
fashion.

GAME MUCH LESS SCIENTIFIC

ten years ago, but not as scientific. 1t
is as scientific tactically, but not In

of the batter seeking the too sensi-

tried 1t left-handed, and whiffed
again.

Manager Stallings. Maybe

Up went Hub for the third
trial. Hitting right-handed, he
swung madly and missed two
balls. Then he switched to che
other side of the plate. He hit
at the third strike and was out.
Walking back to the bench,
he looked at Stallings and
yelled: "Guess that's mixing EN-
up, eh, Boss?

lioht and Music.

A machine designed to accompany
music with harmonious lighting eff
fects has been invented by an east
ern artist, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. The instrument Is in the
form of a rheostat consisting of con-
tinuous parallel loops of resistance
wire of different lengths, each having
a contact point over which passes a
metal block, completing the circuit.
The movement Of the block Is con
trolled by a cable running we pulleys
operated by means of pedals. AS the
sliding block is moved back or forth
over the wires, the degree of light
intensity Is varied to suit the music,
accentuating the musical phrasings Of
the soloist or orchestra. 1t may be
played either with or without a spe-
cial written score sheet. A further
adaptation of the principle Of artistic
lighting expression through resist
ance coils is the illuminated phono-
graph. In this case a rheostat Of
modified form is used and the light
intensity controlled by meal of a
cam, moving in synchrOnism with the
record. A translucent globe incases
the record, motor, rheOstat and accom-
panying lights.

OF HIGH ESTATE
Washington's Ancestors Distin-
guished for Centuries.
High Ideals Of the First President a
Heritage From Men Who Had
Made England Great

February % is the birthday Of that
son OF Virginia and Of old stock Of the
British isles, without whose high en-
deavOr and fortitude there would DOS
sibly not be upon the earth today a
United States of America.
1t Is worth our while from time to
time, even in an %irreverent and forget
full age, to remind ourselves what price
was paid by those who went before us
for the heritage we enjoy-and what
virtues were practiced by them to
make that payment possible and to
complete their purchase.

the hastings and appeals for votes to-
day. he believed In the leadership of
those whose attachments qualified
them for leadership. He thought that
education and experience In handling
large private affairs were useful to
men ~intrusted with large public az
fairs.
Under the control Of an iron will he
had violent passions, which now and
again famed out at cowardice or
demagoguery or corruption.
He possessed what was then the
largest private fortune in the thirteen
colonies. He traced his blood for GEN.
turtles through a line of English "coun-
try gentlemen" and he maintained the
use of a coat-of-arms granted his fore
bears-a coat of arms perpetuated by
It's suggestion of the coat of arms and
flag Of the American Union.
He was moral heir Of the barons
who exacted the Great Charter from
King John at Runnymede, Of the
school of John Hampden and the
earlier Oliver Cromwell, rather than
Of Harrison and Barebones. He would
have been at home with the men who
Ousted James II rather than with those
