SENATOR'S FUTURE
 RESTS ON PITCHERS
Collapse of Veteran Huring Staff Last Year Was Damaging

Washington, Jan. 2S R-Pitching seems likely to decide the fate of the Senators in the American League pennant race this year.
 Collapse of the teams veteran hurling corps last year has spurred the club to action, and of the forty players on Washington's roster more than half are pitchers. The squad includes the veterans Walter John- son and Stan Coveleskie, the former of whom will start his twenty-flrst campaign as a Senator next spring.
 The only deal Washington has consummated since the close Of the 1928 race was a stroke to strengthen the mound staff. This swap brought here a pair of White Sox hurlers, Hollis Thurston and Leo Mangum. In exchange for the veteran short stop. Roger Peckinpaugh.
 Thurston still on the sunny side of thirty, achieved twenty victories for the last place White Sox in 1924. Fred Marberry, we'll known relief
 
 pitcher, George Murray and Curley Ogden, also remain from last years team.
 Draft purchase and recall all have been invoked in assembling the re- mainder of the array Manager Har- ris hopes to weld into a winning box staff. Among the prospects are Alvin Crowder, Irving Hadley, Deca- tur Jones, Willard Morrell and Gar land Brayton, who joins the local forces as part of the deal that sent Dutch Ruether to the Yankees last season. Braxton shares with Burke, drafted from Little Rock and Thom- as, a rookie farmed to Birmingham and Rochester last season. The dis tinction of being the only left handlers in the squad.

A child has no business on
shopping trips. If it is nece ssary
to take him to a stores to pur-
chase hat, shoes or a coat for
his own use, he should be taken
back home as soon as his part
of the transaction is finished.
1t Is very tiresome for a child to
be forced to wait and wait and
wait while some one else Is abb
sorbed in shopping. Hours seem
l very long to little folks and their
strength is not equal to long

Another offense against child
hood is taking them to picture

Every day in every town the
voice of some little child begging
to go home can be heard in the
darkness of some movie house.
Quite often one sees a nurse,
calmly enjoying the picture while
her charge squirms and wriggles
and pleads to be taken out Of that
tiresome place.
