Usually pitchers are weak hitters.
This is unfortunate, because pitch
ers who keep up their batting aver.
ages often have opportunity to turn
defeat into victory.
There is no reason why a pitcher
shouldn't learn to be a hard hitter.
Joe Bush is one. George Sisler,- ST.
Louis first baseman and champion
batsman Of the American league in
1922, used to pitch for the Univer-
sity of Michigan, and broke into
the big leagues as a pitcher.
Babe Ruth once pitched for the
Boston Red Sox, but became an
outfielder because his team wanted
to utilize his terrific power in
every game.
In the big leagues, where the
pitchers burden Is an unusually
heavy one, it is sometimes consid.
cred an actual disadvantage for
him to hit.
We were playing the Athletics
on an extremely hot afternoon last
summer. Rommel, the Macks' great
pitcher, came to bat. His team was
leading by two runs. He slapped
out a sharp grounder, and then
remained idly in the batter's box
while our infield got the ball to
first.
Doubtless Connie Mack figured
that his club had a safe margin
of runs. He figured. too, that
pitching in oppressive weather was
hard enough on a pitcher without
making him run bases.
AS 1t happened, we set upon
ROmmel I'm the ninth for three
runs, and won the game. But
nine times out Of ten ,ROmmel's
strategy would have succeeded.

Two thousand miles to the southwest
lies Oahu, gem Of the Hawaiians and
Gibraltar of the Pacific. And there is
Pearl Harbor, our westernmost naval base
and outpost Of defense.
Cavite, at the entrance TO Manila bay,
and Guam, l500 miles east of the Philip
pines, no longer count. Under the treaty
Of Washington they cannot be further
fortified and so constitute a source OF
weakness rather than Of strength.
Hawaii, or the island of Oahu, to be
more specific, therefore is our sole depend
ence in that quarter And without it, in
the event of war in the Pacific, our West
coast and, what is even more important
strategically, the Panama canal, would be
wide open to attack and destruction.
That mid-ocean outpost is our western
sentinel, on guard over our lives, our jobs
and our firesides, watching while we go
in security and peace about our business.
Security, did we say? That is what
