MANY PRAISE OFFER
 OF NEW DICTIONARY
Language Guide Should Keep Apace With Flow of
 Added Words

Distributing a new dictionary has brought this paper many compliment ary remarks. One subscriber who pre- scented coupons yesterday for half a dozen dictionaries for different em- pIoyes and members of his family said he deemed it necessary that diction- ary should progress with the language just as a newspaper does. The world moves rapidly these days and only The New Universities is apaces with today's growth of>the language.
 The departments handling this great educational offer are being kept busy handing out the books. More reserves had to be rushed last night to fill up the rapidly depleted stock. At this rate the first and limited edition will soon be exhausted.
 While readers are eager for the book on account of its being authorita- tive and complete it's absolute newness appeals to thousands. It has been many long year since an actually new dictionary was given to the public. The New Universities Dictionary is new in all the wofd implies-new in contents, new in type, new in arrange ments of helps to word study. Par ticularly is it new in making, the study of today's English easy for young people who are so situated that they cannot attend schools and obtain in dividual instruction. Unaided, young man or, woman employed may learn the correct use of the English of mod ern business and society if they but follow the directions of the great uni versity teachers whose articles on standard English" Practical Sym tax" (which means: How to make good sentences), Fermentation" and "Etymology" appear, plainly written in simple English, in this book.
 Even the word "Etymology," which looks harsh and forbidding to. a be-, ginner, is made simple if one reads the article by Clark s. Nerthrup, Ph. D., instructor in English in Cornell University. Professor Northrup's arti- cle tells how to learn where our words were found, why we adopted them and how we changed them totmean what we wanted to say. That's what Ety. mology is and this paper distributes this dictionary because it wants every reader to know all about the language. Adv.

CAUGHT ON THE FLY

Marberry. a VIGOROUSLY weak hit
ter. crossed the Indians in the second
session with two down by pushing a
Texas Lacquer single to right that
advanced Ruel, who had singled, a
base McNeely, though, proved an
easy out.
Peck was given single after roll
ing to Burns in the fourth inning when
I-hle failed to touch first after TAX
ing Georges throw. At that Peek
reached the sack with the ball.
RuePs double, n moment later, was
a high fly that landed directly on the
right field foul line. The Indians
claimed the blow foul, but Umpire
Connolly ruled otherwise.
NcNeely, who opened the Bucks
seventh with a Texas league single
to center. was easily caught OF hrst.
Walters to Burns, when Harris failed
to connect with the ball in an at
tempted hit-andrun play.
With Indians on first and second
and two down in the seventh, Steph-
enson sent a drive to the right field
wall that was foul by inches only,
then he rolled to Bluege.
Umpire Evans lost no time in rul-
ing Peck out when Bluege uninten-
tionally interfered with Stephenson s
throw, in the eighth. Ossie slid into
Riggs, who had taken Ellerbes throw
of Peck's grounder and toppled the
Zig second sacker just as he was
throwing to Burns to complete an
easy double play. The ball went far
over Burns head.
Bluege and Peck made great stops
in the eighth inning, the former at
| Uhle's expense, while Roger got
Jamieson's rap in deep short and
made a fine retiring throw.

Joe is natural 800 hitter with a
knack Of getting on base, but his
great value to his team is as a de-
Ienslve player. AS a fielding third
baseman, Joe compares favorably
with Jimmy Collins, Bill Bradley and
Arthur Devlin, great names of the
past. In the 1922 world series he
| was one of the few Yankee stars who
held up his head in that debacle Of
the American League forces, while
McLraw called him the outstanding
hero Of Huggins' victory of 1923.
Groh Big Series Star.
Little Groh is another player who
mas risen TO great world series
heights in the past. His hitting fell
below expectations in the 1919 Gin
cinnati- White Sox series. but he was
vertible batting terror in 1922. Last
October his batting average fell to
1888. but his fielding was one of the
brightest features of Giant play
Groh is playing "a more effective
game this season than in either 1922
or 1923. An operation on his groin
last Winter fixed up the little chap
and while he no longer is hitting 800
Heinie hasn't missed a game all sea-
son and has been one of the Giant
players who have held up New York
in the National League flag hunt.
Groh back in 1912, no longer is the
player that he was several years ago
He has slowed up consid erahly in
his field work, while his batting aver
age has fallen TO .245. Yet with il
all. Stock has been a big factor in
whipping the Dodgers into a pen
nant contender. Robinson procured
him from ST. Louis III the Spring,
when Brooklyn unquestionably had
i,E to-
league. Brookly ms percentage began
toned at third.
Milton has been in one world series
without attracting much attention.
With the other Phiily National
League players of 1915 he could do
nothing with the Red SoX pitching
that year and hit only III.
BIucEc Deserves Confidene.
Oswald Bluege is regarded by most
fans as the weak link of the Wash
ineton team. He did not start the
season as a regular, as Prothro play
ed the third bag for the Nationals
early in the season. However Bluege
should not be moderated. While he
is only a fair 80 batsman he stands
up with the best when it comes to
fielding. He gets a ball away very
quickly, and fits in well With the
other speedy chaps of the Nationals
infield. Should Washington get into
the series L do not think American
Lea que fans need he afraid of Bluege.
Pittsburgh has one of the rising
stars of the National League in Hal
Traynor, its brilliant third Sacker
Traynor has not hit as we'll this
season as he did in 1928, but he is
one of base balls coming stars He
has more natural ability than any

when the New York PennSylvania
League failed to resume operations in
1918 Wiltse sold him to Buffalo. The
Bisons< blew in August. but Harris
went into the ship yards at Baltimore
and played with the formidable Dry
docks nine.
Buffalo recalled its players in 1919.
and Harris played such a wonderful
game at second base from the outset
of the season he soon became the
object of much scouting. Washington
was fortunate enough to get him, and
he joined the Nationals in August.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1924-09-19

Harris finished his job at Buffalo in
great style. getting six hits in six
times at bat his last day there. And
though handicapped by a broken fin
ger when he got to the National
Capital. he jumped into the big show
brilliantly. The first time he batted
as a major Lacquer he slapped Carl
Mays for a single that drove two
runs home. And he has been a great
help to the Nationals since.
Harris talks, eats and sleeps base
