Seattle Plane to Make History
FOOD!
What Does Yours Cost? Tell 1t to
The Seattle Star

"TT seems to me-" said the lady next door running
over her grocery bill, that the cost of living is
up almost to where it was in wartime How does it
strike YOU"
Strikes me the same way" replied her neighbor
Why food used to be a sort of incidental in our
budget. We never thought much about it. Since then
1t seems TO have been going up steadily until it has
become formidable item. We're not extravagant,
either"
LOW much does it cost you to run your home each
L week-not altogether. but just for food? Is the
cost of living up much folks to thnk-or
are we demanding more Injuries? For how much
can family be fed well, in Seattle for a week?
The Star is interested in these questions 1t believes
every reader in the Pacific Northwest is interested

Here's what wen do: You sit down and figure out
Just how much 1t cost you TO feed your family last

COME foodstuffs are higher this August than they
~ were last-and some cheaper
In The Stars market advertisements last August
flour quoted at 500 for l9-pound sack; today
it's quoted at S2.49. Sugars cheaper tho Last
August it was S725 hundred; today you can buy

Lard was $2.25 last year; it's $40 now Grapes

however, is higher, with peaches at 80 cents dozen
Remember when you used to get em for 60 cents
a crate or less?
OF course, it's nobodys fault particularly that
" things are higher. It's general trend. There's
too much competition these days for anyone to hog
the market and artifically boost prices.
One is we're asking for more service all the

Error on Moore Is Called De-
Gliding Break in 0riffs'
Defeat
By BABE RUTH

I've seen q lot of baseball, and
q lot of world series, but the guy
who remarked that there was al-
ways something else to see, said
q mouthful. / saw something
/ saw the greatest job Of pitch
ing IA the pinches I ever saw any
where. And Vic Aldridge, the
old Cub pitcher did it. And to
make It legal he did it twice
once in the fifth and again In the
ninth.
watching Aldrich pitching inning
after inning, most folks would have
figured him not to last through the
game. Washington viii never have
an easier game to win In the
whole series. Twice they filled the
bases with nobody down--ard twice
they failed before Aldrich's good
hurting, coupled with some re-
marizAble defense play by the
Pirate infield.
Az said before, I've seen lot
OF pitchers but I never saw anyone
do q better job In the pinches than
Aldrich did yesterday.
Getting down 70 cases about the
ball game, it looks TO me a.

things that lost the ball game.

Convey could have pitched entirely
differently to Cuyler, and that home
run might never have been made.
But the error happened, and that
was the big break.
The home run itself. was the Sec
ond break. It hit the ground first,
then, bounded into the stands.
That's sheer luck and you can't
get away with it--but luck wins a
lot of ball games. And now every
body's even up and the the Pirates
have their confidence back. From
here on It will be tougher job
for Washington.
So far as the rest of the series
is concerned, though. that fast ball
that hit Bluege in the head in the
sixth may play a bigger part than
anything else that happened today.
Ossie II a great third baselaan.
He has proved it in this series
already. And Harris hasn't any ex.
periencca r IN he can put there.
OF course, he could shift some of
his present infielders, but that
would weaken him elsewhere, II
sBluege is out even for game or
two, 1t win be a bad break--and
il he is out for the series It will
be tougher still,
And don't forget that Old COvey
pitched whale OF q game, too.
His splitter was breaking right
around the Pirates knees and II
Peck's error hadn't got hini In
the hole In that tough eighth
inning they might be playing yet.
A lot OF folks are putting Peck
on the pan for bobbling those balls.
And they were rank errors. But
tho fact is that Convey tossed up
spttters for the batters to hit, and
Peck grabbed hold OF the sloppy
side OF the ball. Covey knew Il, too,
and he's one guy who isn't blaming
Peck for what happened.
Today guess it will be Ferguson
against Kremer. Fergy was with
the Yankees while and a lot of
folks figured he was bad pitcher.
But he's got two things. He has
q great screw ball, and he has a
noodle. Those things coupled with
g. great team back Of him ought
to give him an even break in the
series. And now it's reached the
point where anything counts.
Here IS q thing to remember
though. So far it has been wash
ington that has made the errors
and so far the breaks have won
the ball games. That's what I pre-
dicted before the series, when I
refused to pick a winner.
