AS usual, apples have been rotting
on the ground in Michigan and other
states because the growers could not
secure a price for them sufficient to
pay the cost of marketing. At the
same time consumers in the cities
have been paying fancy prices or do
ing without.
And still, spectators blandly dis
claim any thought of profiteering.
And that reminds us. Have you
ever noticed how specializing
profitoer will squeeze every penny
possible out of an article that he
handles and then weep because there
is no more blood to be sucked?
And have you noticed how that
same profiteer will rage over the
prices of things that he has to buy
for his own use?
What kind of a duck would you
call him, anyway?

AS THE EDITOR SEES 1T

We're not so bad off in this country
after all.
We have strikes and suspensions
Of business, it is true. But we have
plenty of money, plenty to eat and
wear, and present indications are
that we will have plenty of heat this
winter. Then, too, our currency Is
the most valuable in the world.
In the old world they also have
strikes and suspensions of business,
OF no business at all. And they have
internal troubles, and food is scarce
and prohibitive in price, and millions
of them wear rags and will shiver in
the cold this winter, and their cur
fency is sadly deprecated or almost
worthless.
No, not so bad. Therefore, cheer
mp and cheer others.

youngster from Cornell could not
do that. So he faded from sight.
He has a far brighter chance to
make good now than he did when
he came to the Washington club.

the benefits Of added experience

Where Luck Comes In.

TyHERE is luck, a lot of it, in
baseball. One place where
u it shows is in the appear
ance of new pitchers. Take Ralph
Miller, for instance, who joined
the Griffs last fall.
Miller, in the first place, was
in perfect condition. He joined
a team sadly in need of pitching
material. He came at a time
when the club was at home, thus
giving him opportunities for
morning practice, something he
could not have obtained on the
road.
Now Miller, a southpaw with
good control, has impressed Clark
Griffith with his possibilities. He
starts with that advantage over
Ray Francis and Dangerous
Dan" McGrew. He can afford
to take things rather easily at
Tampa until he feels like putting
on steam because he has shown
something during a big league
campaign. The other two have
never done anything in the big
show. Miller has had more luck
than either McGrew or Francis.
Many a pitcher, destined to
shine brightly under the main
tent, has bumped into poor luck
on his first plunge into the mael-
strom of major league baseball
and only because his arrival was
untimely. He was unlucky in not
sticking then and his club was
still unluckier for losing him. But
there isn't a ball club in either of
the big leagues of which this
cannot be told.

fully to overcome them. Did he
make good? Well, yes, to a great
extent.
The Syracuse club was not much
last season. 1t landed in sixth
place. Its percentage was .425,
Now the remarkable thing about
it is that Olsen. in winning four
teen games and losing just as
many, finished with a higher win
ming percentage than his club. He
must have pitched pretty fair ball.
Looking over the records we note
that Olsen figured in $50 innings
on the hill for Syracuse. He fan
