third base for the New York Gil
ants, with Fred Llndstrom, juve-
nile sensation of the last world
series, sitting on the bench.
''Groh played great ball during
the European tour" McGraw de-
clared. HE is ready to take his
place with the best of them right
now. l have nothing but praise
for young Lindstrom, but he can
view a few more games from the
bench without doing him any

Last season Pittinger was in 140
ball games, went to bat 512 times,
made 167 hits for 225 bases and
scored 90 runs. He had thirty-eight
twobaggers, two triples and five
home runs. He laid. down nineteen
sacrifice hits and stole twenty-five
bases. This batting average was
1926.

Some fans Alay be of the Opin-
ion that an average of 1926 in the
Pacific Coast League isn't Of
much moment. but the cheerful
thing about Pittinger Is that he
went out there a weak batsman
and has improved steadily. He IL
only twenty-fOur years of age and
probably has not yet reached the

Norfolk's gameness in. the Wills
fight was questioned. No one
particular blow felled him. He
collapsed suddenly and the ring
siders had to invent the tale
of a phantom punch to -explain
his fall.
In his encounter with Gibbons,
Norfolk displayed plenty of grit.
His record does not indicate that
ne has ever succumbed to stage
fright or. fear, with the possible
exception of the Wills. episode.
The Kid himself insists that the
terrific body blows. with which
Wills bombarded him resulted in
temporary paralysis and caused
him to sink to the floor in the

that Jack could not get through.

tAWills once was a good long

he has not had much success fol-
lowing orthodox lines. Against
slow moving targets like BARLEY
Madden and Firpo he might have
stood off and hit the mark at will
by feinting, hooking or upper
cutting. However, Harry seems
unable to get away from the style
that cost him so many admirers in
the Firpo fight.
A Gibbons-Wills fight probably
would not please many of the GUS
toners. Gibbons is not spectacu-
lar when he is compelled to remain
on the defensive, and the sight Of
Wills-who outweighs the st. Paul
man by more than thirty pounds
throwing Tom around the ring,
encircling him with the left hand,
drawing him in and whacking him
on the side or beak with his right
hand, would not be an edifying

Wits specially questioned.
UNDOUBTEDLY Wills is much
stronger than Gibbons. He
is taller and has a longer
reach. Gibbons would be badly
handicapped if Wills were per-
mitted to use the tactics he en-
ployed against Firpo last fan.
Harry threw the Argentine giant
around as if he were a bag of
oats and dubbed him on the left
side and over the kidneys with
a left that punished Firpo badly.
For days after the fight the
section of Firpo's body that re-
ceived this attack was black and
blue. In the later rounds of the
Jersey City scuffle Wills was not
50 effective, though he wrestled
and mauled poor Louie with short
arm blows.
1T has always been question

Science

+ What are the most powerful Of all
forces of nature2
DR.. Carl George LANCE, eminent
psychologist of Copenhagen, replies
to this by saying: The emotions.
They are also the most important
factors in the life Of the individual. "
Emotions certainly are the chief
element in life, for an emotion is a
state of mind that prompts to action.
Love, hate, joy, sorrow and anger
are emotions. Most human actions
are based upon these emotions.
Even bodily weakness and fear can
be overcome by emotions. They will
conquer, hunger, cold, pain and sick
ness. An emotion such as love may
rise above even the fear of death
and urge the body into feats of
strength and courage which would
be impossible otherwise.
Emotions rule the business world
far more than efficiency experts real
ize. The shrewd executive rules 9TH
ers more easily through the emotions
than otherwise, while maintaining
rigid self control himself. 1t may
appear to be office system or shop
discipline that does it, but In reality
1t is some variation of the emotions
Of love, or fear, or both.

| Then he leaped overheard and one

There has been an attempt upon
| the part of some students OF myth
ology to identify the story of
Arion with the Biblical account Of
Jonah and the whale. The majority
of authorities, however, regard this
attempt as far-fetched and unjusti-
fed. Z
1t is interesting to note that the
Arabs frequently called the constel-
lation the tortoise instead OF the
Tyre.
This is thought to have been
due TO the legend regarding the
origin Of the Tyre.
According to this story, Apollo,
the sun.god, found the empty shell
of a tortoise upon the seashore.
The tendons had dried and were
stretched tightly across the back of
the shell
This is supposed to have given
him the idea for constructing the
Tyre.
The Tyre was among the oldest
musical instruments. It was the
oldest stringed instruments known
to the Greeks.
The number of strings on it varied
from four to eighteen. According to
the Latin poet Ovid, the particular
Tyre which was turned into the con-
stellation OF Lyra had seven strings.
Throughout history, the number
seven also seemed TO have been held
as poss essing a mystical significance.
Longfei,ow, the American poet, de-
scribed Lyra in these words:
II saw with it's celestial keys
Its chords of air, its frets of fire,
The Samian's great Aeolian Tyre.
Rising through all the sevenfoid
mars.
From earth unto the fixed stars.
Lyra is sometimes called King
David's harp. David, according to
the Bible, was an expert musician.
For that reason he is often called
the sweet singer of Israel
The ancient Britons called the
constellation King Arthur's Harp. -
In Bohemia it was known as the
fiddle in the sky"
The constellation Lyra should be
particularly interesting to us be-
cause our sun is moving toward it
with a speed of about twelve miles
second. Every second brings us
twelve miles closer to the place
where Lyra now is. for our earth
and the other planets move along
with the sun.
But the stars in Lyra are NOV
ing with. great speed so that when
after the passage of millions of
years our sun arrives where Lyra
now is, Lyra will no longer be there.
