LIBRARY NOTES

The greatest percentage of books
circulated from small Libraries in fic-
tion: in Blackfoot about 20 per cent.
The writer's most in demand are Zane
Grey, James Oliver Curwood and
Harold Bell Wright.
The fine novel is as much a part
of beautiful letters as drama or
poetry; then it is fitting for us to find
out what makes a novel a permanent
contribution to literature.
Two excellent books of criticism
are by Carl Van Doren: "The Amer
lean Novel" discusses our fiction up
to 1900; Contemporary American
Novelists" tells of the best in the new
school. H. l.. Mencken in his Pre-
judices, third series" has a devas-
tating article on the prevailing taste
for sentimentality and a false attitude
toward life found in the novel reader
of today.
We are giving this week a list OF
novels representative of the finest
American fiction.

that my ears are--well, they're

you. therefore, reconsider your
magnanimous decision and give
the prize to the most beautiful
girl here, which, it is plain to
see, is not myself!
Ladies and gentlemen. I am
happy that you invited me to be
POUR guest and to speak before
you on the drama. It gives me
an oft-sought opportunity to take
q crack at the critics. Those
birds think they know it all.
Take my latest play as an inglo-
rious exapmle. Did you see what
they did to it in their criticisms?
They boosted it to the skies-heap-
ed the widest praise upon it. And
what for, ladies' and gentlemen.
] ask you, what for? Anybody
even unfamiliar with the drama
csOl plainly estims.e it as piece
of cheese. My latest drama is by
far the rankest piece of play

teur could have done better, and

I don't mind and what is more, /
won't be jealous Of either OF
them. You work so hard for
your money, John, that I thought
you ought to spend a little of it
on yourself. After all, I've worn
this cheesy coat for five seasons
and believe it is still good for
three of four more. So if you
have any surplus and feel you
must spend it, go out with the

training and later in regular games, that the Cleveland club never for a minute considered farming him out.
 George uhle in one jump went from the sandlots of Cleveland to the big league and made good.
 What is young pitchers greatest asset? was the query l recently put to uhle. -
 Control is Greatest Asset.
 Control is any pitchers greatest asset" he instantly replied.
 Until a pitcher acquires control, he cannot learn how to pitch"
 There is a pitching sermon in that statement of .uhle's.
 Without control the player who aspires to pitch is merely thrower. No matter how much stuff a pitcher has, it gets him nothing unless he can get the ball over. It's worthless
 Control enables pitcher to play on batter's weakness. It gives him confidence to work on the batter, knowing that in the pinch he can get the fast one over
 ''To any youngster who has pitch ing ambitions and desire to make the big show, I would say, get con- trol first and the rest of the pitching will come easy"

Continued from Preceding Page) ness made it impossible for the regu- lar twirler to do his stuff. He won his game, did a good job of it and has been pitching ever since. F Starred on the Sandlots.
 For four years uhle pitched for any number of amateur clubs in and around Cleveland. He was always open for pitching engagement. Soon his good work in the box began to receive favorable mention in the press. Every now and then the sand lotter uhle would turn in some pitch- ing feat that got his name into the headlines.
 Then came the turning point in his baseball career. He was signed for tryout with the Standard Parts team of Cleveland, fast semi professional club, representing big manufactur- ing concern making auto parts.
 He made good in very first start and throughout the season pitched remarkable ball. On<fhis team were several former big league stars They touted Uhle as a major league possi- bility.
 Made Good First Year.
 At the close of that season he pitched several games for the Stand ardS> Parts against team of major league stars and did great work. That series earned for him big league trial with Cleveland.
 Without any professional eXperi- ence, having seen no service in the minor leagues, Uhle stepped right into the big Show and delivered. He gave such promise in the spring

the ball means everything as to tho break.
 But even that wasn't enough. In order to give the fans more batting the so-calied lively ball was adopted. This ball Is lively because it is a far superior ball in every way from the cork center to the cover. The result of all these changes produced an orgy of slugging in which the supremacy Of the pitcher has passed entirely. The batter now enjoys wide margin of advantage in his clash with the pitch CT.
 The batters went even farther in their effort to hold the advantage. Four-piece bats were manufactured, which made for greater driving pow CT. Plugged bats also were used, .al- though it is hard to see the advantage of the plugged bat It might offer a chance to cheat by loading the bat However, President Johnson of the American League has called halt on the bat question by ruling all such bats illegal, and making player au- tomatically suspend himself for five days when he uses one.
 The pitching problem sooner or later will have to receive serious con- sideration from the men behind base ball. Each year it seems harder to find pitchers worthy of the majors. Per haps slight toning down of the lively ball would tend to improve pitching more quickly than any other one thing.
