George Uhle to my mind, has
more stuff than any other man
i've faced IN either league IN re-
cent years. OF course, q fellow
would naturally have q lot 0f re-
spect for q pitcher who could
strike him out four consecutive
times with the bases full. And
that's what George did to me.
But all that aside, uhle has proved
against other clubs that he has
the stuff. IL the Indians win the
pennant, and won't deny that
they have a chance, George Uhle
will deserve more credit than any
other three men on the club.
Smith, '.swede' Leysen. Miller,
Karr. Buckeye -good pitchers all
of them. They're the answer TO
Cleveland success.
About the Yankees. We've
been going badly for . while.
That's natural enough. Its base
ball history that q slump usually
follows 3 long winning streak,
and that's the way the Yankees
have played all season long.
But wen brace up before the
season Is over. We've get some
pretty fair pitchers. too, and
lot Of hitting power beside. And
we're going to win q lot Of ball
games between now and the end
Of the season.
The biggest point in Cleveland's
favor, as / see 1t, is that they
finish the season at home while
we spend the last three weeks on
the road. Playing In the other
fellows back yard always is q
tough job. But don't forget this.
The Yankees have played just as
well on the road this season as
they have at home-and there's
no reason to think they won't con.
tinue to do 1t. So far we've had
better than a 500 percent average
on every Western trip and don't
see any reason why we shouldn't
this time. And If we do, We'll
win the pennaht.
But Iris Speaker has made q
fight of 1t. And I'm glad to see
his club up there. A lot of un.
kind things were said about Iris
before the season opened. All the
experts picked his club TO finish
way down in the second division.
And the Yankees too. Now. regard
less of which club wins, both clubs
have shown that they had more
stuff than they were given credit
for having. And that means lot.
The fellow who said that kids
don't take any interest in base
ball these days is as far off as
Christmas. And the chap who said
that present day youngsters
couldn't play ball was nearly up to
the Fourth of July.
They do and they can play the
good old game.
A. few days ago J was up at the
sand lot world series staged in
New York. I never saw more ex-
element at a real world series
than there was there, when the
kid teams fought it out for honors.
Believe me, they played baseball
TOO.
Some Of those kids showed a
lot OF promise. They could field,
and they could hit, and they
could throw. And they weren't
dumb either.

Pines.

Pines.
! The real beauty of pines comes cut
only in Winter, when the gayer but
more perishable draperies of the de
ciduous trees are stripped away Then
only does the sturdy loneliness of the
pines stand revealed to us.
Around Washington one may find
no less than six different kinds Of
pine-a goodly number for the east
ern United States, which is not so
rich in conifers as the West. But all
of them are rare save the Virginia
pine. with it's struggling trunks and
short twisted needles. 1t is neither
very beautiful nor very useful tree
but as any pine Is better than none,
SO even the Virginia pine, browning
some old red-clay hill, can be rug

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
I'm Broadsides.

THE story in broadsides can be
traced to an early incident in his
career" That is an example of the
use of the phrase lin broadsides, :
which we frequently meet in common
speech, the reference being to the out
standing facts or characteristics of q
matter, it's aspect ION the whole >
rather than in detail.
The phrase is of national origin. In
the Technology of the sea, broad
side is the side of a ship above the
water line, from bow to quarter: in
other words. the whole view of il
without regard to detail. In Navy
parlance we may have come across
the expression giving them a broad
side" which means the discharge OF
all the guns that can be trained to
fire at once on the side of ship.
The expression came into figurative
use for the broad surface of any OBJ
iect, as of a house, and subsequently
for the large view or broad aspect OF
a situation or state of facts.
