Caddies Know Where
Bread Is
Buttered

When a certain golfer re-
turned one day with an un-
usually low score a fellow MEM
ber unfeelingly remarked that
he must have had a friendly
caddie. And that recalls an
other yarn something like this:
Two caddies were resting
after their rounds when one
said to the other: What kind
of a score did that guy have
that you were toting for to-
day."
Listen, here" retorted caddie
No. 2, "that gent gave me two
bucks, and his score is what
ever he says it is.'

Just because we coufE. get a
fight, we kids often strolled into
the 'Patch,'-and we always came
back on the fly. Not one but
dozens of kids from the Patch al
ways came right on our heels.
Yes sir, that's where got my
speed, streaking it for home for
safety. We'd a. been killed,
honestly think, if we couldn't have
outrun those boys from the Patch ;
and I'm alive and very much
candidate for this ball club
Archdeacon reminds one of Wild
Matthews in some ways. He is
not much bigger. He has far
more speed. But he has the
same fiery manners Of Matty IN
the field. He covers acres in the
garden, rOmping from one foul
line to the other.
Off the field he is the same
quiet lad, one who has all conf
dence in himself and an earnest
ness astounding. He can explain
in low tones just why he is going
to shine with the Griffmen. There
is no boasting about him, but he
has a most convincing way about
him that suggests Spark Plug
Matthews
Bucky Harris believes Arch
deacon will be of considerable use
to the Griffmen in their attempt
to win a third successive pennant.
The Mound City lad may not start
the season as a regular, but he
will frequently be seen in the bat
ting order and, if occasion arises,
will be right there ready to show
his wares.
ArchdeacOn is a blue streak
going down to first base from
the plate and is quietly listening
to Buddy Myer cheer about
Stuffy Stewart's ability. Myer
wants to bet 25 to i that Stewart
can Outrun ArchdeacOn, forget
ting that Stuffy hits right
handed and is therefore handI'
capped in a race against the
lefthanded hitting ArchdeacOn.
Archdeacon holds the record for
going to first and also for clrcEng
the bases, doing this latter In
fifteen seconds. He may not be as
good a base-runner as Stewart, a
master of the art, but most OF the
Griffs will be putting their dough
on Archie il Buddy Myer ever
succeeds in hooking them up in a
contest for sheer speed.
All Archie will have to do Will
be to consider Stuffy boy from
kerry Patch" He knows some
thing about them from boyhood ex-
pefience.

5000 900 900 Christmas gift in the
form of 40 per cent stock dividend
yesterday came as n reward TO com
mon stockholders of the United States
Steel Corporation after years of wait
ing to share in the company'S huge
surplus of more than S5O0,o00,000.
At the same time directors of the

of So a year and several smaller com

The finance committee and the
board of directors of the worlds
largest steel COMPANY unanimously
approved a proposal to increase the
common stock by 2,033,210 shares,
subject to the ratification of stock
holders at their annual meeting next
April. This action represents the
Capitalization of some $500, ,000.00 Of

mean the distribution to shareholders
of one of the largest dividends ever

Strong Financial Position.
Fortified by a steady Improvement
in earnings, which for the three
