And the Goose is Now
In a Smuggling
Streak, Too!

Just about a year ago the
Scribes and Pharisees were US
ing up all the nice adjectives in
the dictionary in describing the
fine work of Mr.. Leon Goslin in
the world series between Wash
ington and the Giants. AS an
other world series begins, the
National League champions are
looking with apprehension on
this youngsters record and won
dering how they are to stop
him.
Leon Goslin tied Babe Ruth's
record last year with three
home runs in one series. He
made eleven hits for a total of
twenty-one bases, more than
any other player on either team
made. Besides that, he played
errorless ball in the outfield
through all the seven games.
YEA, verify, he is an "URly
Duckling" with the bat, a "Wild
Goose" on the bases and not a
"bad egg" at all on the de-
Tense!
Goslin, in his fourth season as
a regular player, has exceeded,
in many ways, the fine record
he set in 1923. He has scored
more runs, and stolen nearly
twice as many bases, among
other things. He is again one
of the leaders in runs batted in.
And remember that this player,
who is the punch of the Wash
ington attack. is only twenty
four years old. In fact, he will
be twenty-four on October 16.
The Goose, before he became a
hard-hitting outfielder, was a
glass.blower, an. elevator repair
er and q pitches.

No Odds We're Too
Big For Cap Arson
to Fight Against

Clark Griffith tells a story of
Adrian Anson's fighting spirit.
The old Chicago team was to
play a double-header. For the
first battle Cap Arson sent a
pitcher he was alone in fancy
ing to the mound. By the close
of the first inning the opposing
batters had socked him for eleven
runs. The remainder of the
Chicago team started figuring
on the second contest, but not
Arson. At the beginning of the
second inning he sent in Grit
fifth, his star pitcher, to save
the game.

If Bucky is hit on the wounded
finger by either a batted or thrown
ball, he is certain to suffer to
such an extent that he will be
compelled to leave the game. If
his throwing seems to foreshadow
cause for defeat, he is man enough
to take himself out of the lineup.
But whether he sends the veteran
Deacon Scott in to take his place
or chooses the younger and moro
active, though greener, Spencer
Adams will not be known until he

Airplanes will be used in Europe
much more this year than ever before
as a regular means of quick first-class

main services that run regularly from
London, Paris and Berlin all over
Europe are well known. What is not

large scale.
In Stockholm there is a choice of
several ways. Planes in one service
