series tickets, the Giants today

National League "hOme games" at
the Polo Grounds, including the
opening contest.
The Yankees, although they have

Kelly's last play helped very much
to win the world series for the Giants
when he threw across the diamond
double play. If the throw had not
been perfect or if the ball had got
away the score would have been tied.
IT was a risky chance. but Kelly
played it beautifully. 1t helped to
finish the series for him in an aureole
OF red fire. Everybody boosted Kelly.
Kelly today is the best right-hand
first baseman in base ball. but he is
not much better than he was in 1921.
Perhaps he is no better. He reached
type of player who can get about so
far in base ball and cling there un-
til his muscles run dry and his sinews
stiffen on him like old whale bone.
Pipp Better Than Last Year.
Pipp Is a better ball player than he
was last yea. Much better and then
some. Possibly he needed the world
series last season to prod him. He
may have recognized his own short
comings. 1t may have infused him
with something which awakened him
from his lethargy. for lethargic he
was last summer. In the world series
against the Giants he needed an in
3ection Of tobasco more than he did
r. bat The bat was his. but he failed
TO arouse enthusiasm by his method
OF handling it. Had he welded
shillalah no better at a Sunday picnic
he would have been voted out of the
lodge
Pipp's batting percentage in 1921
for the world series games was 1854
That is childish for a first baseman.
in twenty-three times at bat he made
four hits. good office boy could
nave done that we'll. When at bat
lie acted as if the Importance of the
" JrI hn rJ,Nnf fi,,,r
had drowned his ego in flood of
may the good Lord help me-"
Kelly did not bat much better
until after the series was nearly
over. The long legged Californian
built like Skyscraper from his
feet to his hips spanked the air with
his bat most vigorously, but he over
looked spanking the ball For the
first three games he did not make
hit In the fourth in his last time
broke the ice for him. He finished
with batting percentage of .233 and
he made seven hits in thirty times at
bat. Not much of a record.
Kelly Has Not Improved.
He may do better this year than he
did last. but there is more likelihood
that Pipp will do better this year
than that Kelly will do better. Kelly
IS In the same groove that he worked
in last season. He is like a leather
belt revolving over pulley. He will
Keep on going and going one day
like another and each day doing his
best and never striking a spectacular
note unless he is given an opportunity
TO throW-an opportunity such as
came t" him in l"21--because he can
throw further than any first base
man in baseball and with such ac-
"uracy that n rih"man would find it
hard '" beat him in a rough and ready
performance
If Pipp is as much better in the
world series as he has been in the
regular season then the Yanks are
ten points better at first base than
they were in 1921, ten points out of
possible one hundred, and it is
evident that an increase in ability
like that means something. If Pipp
relapSeS into com3toSe condition
when the series begins it will be
tough for the American League
champions.

The season of 1922 has been the
most prolific of home runs of all time,
the 1000 mark being whizzed past by
sluggers Of both leagues as the au-
tunn leaves began to fall. The
previous record was in 1921. when
931 home runs were made in the two
organizations.

 That man could sell ice cream freesers to the Eskimos."
 In commercial circles this phrase has stood for years as the highest compliment that could be paid a salesman.
 Along comes man, the father of ..Eskimo Pie." who has achieved a selling feat apparently just as diffi- cult as the above. They said 1t couldn't be done. but he went ahead. and in the dullest month of dull winter he put across campaign that made people buy ice cream at luxury price! t
 The man who did it has built him self up a daily income in excess of 15,000 in less than four months. and he's done it out of dimes by original methods and by moving right ahead against the prophets of evil and the men who said Tit cant be done." and "the times aren't right for. any new venture"
 The man is Russell Stover. and the product he has started the nation to using is a chocolate coated ice cream bar. Three or four thousand ice cream and candy sAlesmen would probably have told you. if they'd been consulted in advance. that the idea was not worth much. that 1t couldn't De marketed nationally.

 In person nr. Wyeth was tall and sinewy, combining dignity and courtesy with grace and charm of manner. He was always hospitable, kindly by nature. congenial and abundantly human His was a deep, responsive nature, full of noble feel ing and emotion. His manner was never affected, for he intensely hat ed sham and pretense. He was char acteristically and by inheritance a gentleman to all regardless of person or position. As a host he was en- tertaining on any subject, whether the classics belleslettres, beaux arts, music, languages, science, his- tory or politics, being apparently thoroughly grounded in each and every department of Knowledge and exhibiting always a delightful sense of wit and humor. His spirit was indomitable and he possessed an ex- ceptionally large amount of nerve force. His capacity for doing good seemed unlimited, and he ever dis played an admirable unselfishness. Dr. wyeth hated with the full force
 
 in medicine and was always quick to openly criticise it. Keep youf feet on the earth and your eyes to the stars" was his favorite express sion in discussing this subject. Those who were privileged to intimately know him could relate many instan- ces of his kind, generous spirit, and. many a grateful heart can we'll attest his generous charity. His spirit was tolerant and made phi losophic by the experience of years. He labored zealously and with an in- domitable will for ideals which he cherished and never deviated one iota from the path which his stern sense of duty dictated.
 In his speech and in his writings he was always absolutely fearless. In a pamphlet on the situation in Mex ico he openly attacked the policy of the President and administration His words could be forcfble and as sharp and piercing as the point of his scalpel. His literary works, parti- cularly his best known booksss" With Sword and Scalpel" and The Life of Lieut.. Gen. Nathan Bedford For rest" place him among the literary physicians of America
 As a surgeon and author he was universally respected and his emil hence was unquestioned. Dr. Will liam Mayo referred to him IS this greatly loved master of surgery"
