MAKING PANEL


totalled $3.50. However, you may
pocketbook can stand.
The first problem confronting the
constructor is the laying out Of his
panel. Take a piece of paper 7x21
inches, the size of your panel. Three
and onc-half inches from the top, draw
a line the full length of the paper.
This is the center line for the shafts
of the condensers and rheostats.
Three inches from the left hand
side of the paper. mark the position
of the first condenser shaft. Six
edge make a mark for one of the
second shaft position. On the same
line, three inches from the right hand
edge make mar kfor one of tho
rheostats. Three inches further to-
ward the center mark for the second
rheostat. Now measure up from the
bottom on the right hand side, one
inch and half, and draw another
line, parallel to the first. Two inches
in, mark for loud speaker jack; three
inches further in toward center, for
telephone jack: three inches further
in, mark for filament switch.

The hole for the ticker shaft can
not be definitely placed. 1t is ex-
actly and SIS inches from the bot
tom Of the panel, between the sec
oHd condenser shaft and the filament
switch. 1t must be placed so that
the edge Of the two-inch bakelite dial
does not interfere with the vernier
dials on the condensers, and as these
dials vary in size, the exact spot can
not be found without trial. However,
using the Browning Drake coils sold
in San Antonio department stores,
the shaft comes 2 5-S inches from
the bottom of the panel.
Using the templates which come
with all radio parts, make marks on
your paper showing where the mount
ing screws of the condensers and
rheoetats are to 20, being very care
full to get them exactly. Then you
are ready to mark your panel.
PUNCH THROUGH.
Lay the paper you have prepared
over the panel, holding it in place
hy rubber bands around the edge, or
BY fastening it on with paste and
allowing it to dry. Then, with a GEN.
ter punch or sharp nail, 90 over
the paper template, punching in ac-
curatcly the center points Of all the
shafts. Punch for three screw holes
along the bottom of the panel, about q
quarter Of an inch from the bottom.
These are for the screws which will
attach the panel to the Dashboard.
The punching completed, remove the
template. You will see clearly mark
ed on the hard rubber the places
where you must drill through.
The condenser shafts, rheostat
shafts and filament switch holes
should be bored with a sic incA
drill. All mounting screw holes
should be 3-16 inches, and carefully
countersunk. The holes for the jacks
vary in size, and are larger than any
drill usually found in the home tool
kit, but a SIG inch drill hole may
be easily enlarged to size with a rat
tail file.

swap and it was made.
with an old pitcher like Covel-
eskie, it doesn't do him any good
to pitch him out of turn. He
needs that rest between games.
That's how l use him.
"Covey says that this is like
heaven, pitching in this ball club,
just because he pitches his ball
game and then forgets about it
until his turn rolls around again.
BY the time he is again due, he
is strong and has all his stuff.
He has pitched easily the best
and most consistent ball of all
our pitchers and lay it to his
wonderful condition and the care
he takes of himself"
Manager Harris declines to
guess how much longer Coveles-
kie will endure, though he does
say that "men from the coal
country are generally pretty
tough" 1t is possible that, where

Harris will be satisfied if Covey
merely finishes out this campaign
as he is now going along. the best
pitcher in the league. Harris be-
lieves in crossing no bridges until
he comes to them.
Good for the Morale.
1T IS EXCELLENT for the
L morale of the team to have
a pitcher like Coveleskie in ac-
ton. The moment he starts to
pitch everybody seems to settle
down. The players know that the
opposition is in for heaps of
trouble making hits. They know
that he never pitches foolishly,
that his control is perfect and that
his courage cannot be surpassed.
No matter how close the game
may be, Convey refuses to blow
up. He may be defeated, but he
goes down Notwithstanding
that betokens the real man in any
line. Defeat itself is nothing.
How we take our defeats is what
really counts.
Using his first string quartet
of johnson, Coveleskie, Puether
=; and Zachary, Bucky Harris be-
lieves he will have good enough
hurting to swing his team over
the finish line in first place.

ing that quartet at the enemy
every day means tough stuff for
them all. We never make any
false moves, you know, and are
always ready to take advantage

While Coveleskie's work is the
talk of the league, bringing him
great praise, nevertheless, it is
well to know that Mike Martin
and Bucky Harris deserve much
OF the credit for it, the former
for putting the pitcher in condi-
ton and keeping him there, the
latter for handling him PROPERLY

It was apparent that the cham

the score being 8 to 2, Washington.
Gregg, Ogden, Russell and Mar

CoVeleskie reported at Tampa
last March in anything but good
condition. He had not been in
good condition for two years at
least before that.
Mike Martin refused to allow
the Pole to pitch ball for weeks,
keeping him everlasting at the
tough grind of weight-reducing.
This. was no easy thing for the
pitcher. He groaned and he
grunted under the hot Florida
sun, but he never quit. He has
the heart of a lion.
At last Mike was satisfied with
Coveleskie's physical condition
and he began pitching, taking
things easy at first but constantly
increasing his endeavors. BY the
time the season was under way
Convey was at weight for the first
time in three years or so and he
has kept so ever since.

"I'll tell you what was the mat

"You had too much fat on your

FORE!
- AND AFTER
By ROSS CONKLIN-

Down into history for the bene-
fit of agnostic posperity will go
the story of the famous match
Henry T.. West and Herbert Shan
non, on the links of the usually
placid and satisfying Columbia
Country Club. That was a match
IA mans match-and the two
were fighting it out to decide a
tie for a handicap trophy at
Columbia.
Now Herb Shannon and Henry
West are two highly respected
members OF the Club. They are
members OF important committees
and their word amounts almost to
law. Therefore, when some one de-
cided to play an innocent prank Of
them. that someone was speeding
past a motor cycle cop.
Just before the match started,
every single cup on the eighteen
holes was changed. There is 10th
ing unusual in that, but the
changes that day were for worse,
not better. The greenskeeper,
seemingly as If by order, r:aced
every cup in the most difficult posi-
ton on the green. Impregnable
knobs, valleys protected by sleek
sides, an insurmountable plains
were the spots chosen for the
cups. And a large and knowing
gallery followed the players from
the very beginning. Which con-
stitutes another suspicious circum.
stance.
On the first green, the putting
was not so bad. 1t was a little
over the players average game,
but not enough to be alarming.
However, both stood on the tenth

some fifty-five blows. Then the
fun began.

they increased in volume until CIV

Up to the eighteenth green went

the eighteen, ordinarily hard enough
for the average player, the cup had
been placed directly on the top Of
a knoll on the East side. 1t was
