BucI<y Harris Has Convey,
Ruether and Zachary for
Mound Duty
BY M. w. CORUM
international Newa servico

The 1925 world series has just
about come to rest down here on
the peaceful4 banks Of the Potomac.
Punch drunk and groggy, the Pitts
burgh Pirates are hanging on the
ropes, waitin for-a final blow that
VIII shatter their dreams Of q
world title.
Bucky Harris spunly Senator'S
have now won three games and
lost one. Another victory this
afternoon and this series will pass
into the record books.
Unless. all baseball signs fail, the
Pirates are licked. Harris has
two brilliant Iefthanders. Reuther
and Zachary, and Stanley Coveles-
kie, the pitching Pole, to shoot
back at them this afternoon. Only
Vic Aldridge, the irascible Indiana
oolmaster, stands between the
BUGS and final, irreparable defeat.
:. It is Aldridge or nothing for
Nick echnia today. Lee Meadows
underwent a minor operation on
his pitching arm yesterday and viii
not be ready before tomorrow at
best. This gives the washington
team every known advantage.
The Pirates couldn't hit Walter
Johnson yesterday in spite of the
fact that the great Kansas whirl-
wind had blown himself out and
was only a gentle zephyy lat the
finish. After six brilliant innings,
old Barney slowed down to a walk,
but the bright young Pirates werc
even more pitifully wilted than he.
In the words of John ]. Nc
Graw, 'They never could make
themselves believe they could win
this series and they can't"
II you value Mr.. McGraw's ex
tremely candid Judgment, there Is
a chance for you to step out and
win a bet, but you win have to
give the odds. Offhand, the Pirates
look~to be about 2O-to-1 shots.
OF course, they may pull through
today and prolong the agony. They
will make a. desperate bid, at any
rate. in the hope that II they can
get the Senaors back in Pittsburgh,
they may pull the fat from the
fire. That Is a long, long chance.
Don't count on it.

Next spring I am going to

long as possible, for besides
loving the game itself, / am
convinced that it is a good
career for any young man to
follow as soon as he can make
the grade.
But when the pitching arm is
slowing up, as all arms do
sooner or later, j want to have
something lucrative to look for

baseball to the bar, back in my

Great as was johnson, Bucky
Harris was much in the limelight.
Entering this series Handicapped
by 4 bad hand, the Griffs' fiery
manager was truly brilliant in the
field. He had seven assists and six
putouts; several Of which were
bright as newlysminted gold. And
always he was the manager, lead
ing his mates to the attack and
patting each man on the back Tor

In the opening frame BuclSy

In the expressive vocabulary
of Joe Engel, Walter was as
tight as q tick. He was feel
ing so generous he would have
killed bull and given anybody
the horns.
He didn't care any more about
who got to first base than the
kaiser did about the Hindenburg
line. If he could have looked
any better then the Utopia of
baseball has not only been
reached. but overtaken.
That makes three lessons all
most in a. row the Griffmen
have administered the Pittsburgh
Pilferers and according to in
formation CLEANED around hotel
corridors last evening. they are
nearly convinced.
The National Leaguers are
willing to admit that from Q
baseball standpoint, the Ma

This is strictly an express stop.

 Well, anyway" the magician continued. T brought the strange creature to my castle and had him work for me, hoping that some day, would discover just who and what he was, for had never seen such a strange creature before!"

Then as soon as she had worked magic on me, I knew that the strange creature had not al- ways been a strange creature and I made up my mind, just as soon as I was a magician again, I would change the strange creature I1to a boy again."
 And we are so glad you did!" Raggedy Ann said. Just see how much happiness you have given to Lady Lindy and 10 little LHndy,'
 You are right, Raggedy Ann!" the magician said. 50 many times I have worked unkind magic and do you know. 1t always made me unhappy. but I never knew just why was unhappy"
 How true that is." Raggedy Ann replied. Whenever we do ar unhnd act, thinking that it will add to our pleasures, we do that unkind act because we are selfish; but if we do a good deed, then wha' a difference it makes!

CHILDREN MISUNDERSTOOD

Mrs. Mann had read two chap ters on social psychatry' when she came to a paragraph, stating that often so-called bad children were not bad, but misunderstood.
 She had three children of her own.
 Of course she would not admit 10 herself that they really were bad, but well she remembered how she had worn out her clothes brushes and bistered her hands in her sys- tenn of correction.
 There was an actual feeling of guilt when she thought of this.
 Never would she for a moment agree that the old-fashioned pun ishment of the insane in asylums was correct, or that it resulted in
New Britain herald., 1925-04-01

improvement Of the patients condi- ton.
 Neither did she agree that all punishment for crime, as provided for in the laws of the land, was just, or that the administration of the punishment always removed the criminal tendency iu the accused.
 Some children habitually lie, she thought. Some steal. Some run away from home, and some have such strong wills, stubbornness. it is called, that control by parents is impossible.
 Are these children mentally sick A mother does not punish child if the child is stricken with pneu- monia fever. Why punish because the mind docs not run along norma channels.
