as Annie Laurie brushed eway her
tears and wondered who the kindly
gentleman could be.

Thirteen Is JinX to Ted Lyons
There are a lot of major league
twirlers who consider "13" a jinX,
chief among them being Ted Lyons,
ace of the Chicago White SoX pitch
ing staff.
In 1925, Lyons scored 21 victories
for the Sox, but it took him cou-
pie of weeks before he registered
number 13. 1t required four or five
starts before he was able to get by
the alleged hoodoo figures.
This season, after hanging up IL
wins, nine of them in succession,
Lyons again found it difficult mat
ter to go over for victory number 49,.
Twice, despite the. fact that he
pitched six-hit games and deserved
to win both contests, he was forced
to accept defeat, simply because the
breaks of the game refused to favor
him.
Now Lyons feels better, as he beat
the Indians the other day to leave
10 behind. The way he is going he
should win 25 ball games for Chi
cago this year and has a chance to
reach the goal of every big league
hurler, 80 victories in a season.
Lyons might well be classed the
perfect tWirler. He has great
speed, a fast-breaking curve, a
beautiful change of pace, is
brilliant fielder, a good batsman
and very fast on the bases. What
more could you ask?
\ Il
Young Pitchers Work Fast
If 1 were q young pitcher breaking
into the major leagues I would cul-
tivate speed as to my actions on the
mound, rather than dilatory methods
now so popular, particularly in the
American league.
"Take your time; don't hurry" is
the college yell of most big league
managers relative to their young
pitchers. The thought is that such
methods tend to develop poise as well
as irritate the opposing batsmen.
Perhaps there is considerable logic
to such line of reasoning, but the
working pitcher never becomes
a truly great favorite with the public,
even though he becomes highly eff
cient and consistent winner.
AS I recall the truly great favor
ties with fandom over, say the last
20 years, the fast working pitchers
stand out Take the three great
right handlers of that period, Mathew
son, johnson and Alexander, and you
will find all of them speedy perform
erS.
With any one of the above trio
on the rubber, you were assured
of a fast game, because there was
no waste motion, no dilatOry
tactics.
Slow Methods Not Popular
The late Eddie Plank and Rube
Waddell, two of the greatest of mod
ern southpaWs, were tough to beat
In a sense, Plank was possibly more
valuable as team player, yet he
was an also ran compared with
Waddell as to public favor.
Waddell didn't waste a second be-
tween pitches. He was almost per-
petual motion from the time he step
ped on the rubber until the finish OF
the game. In addition, he had many
cccentricities which the fans liked.
Plank, on the other hand, was di-
rectly opposite Waddell as to style.
He would scratch about the rubber
after each pitch, hitch up his trous-
ers, adjust his cap and shake off his
catcher several times, simply to work
on the nerves of the. batsman.

DENVER MILLINERY
FIRM GIVES P. D.
QUICKER SERVICE

The need for closer connection with
millinery houses has been felt for quite
a long time by western merchants. At
best, New York was 10 days away,
and this entailed much loss in time.
Millinery styles change overnight and
people in Arizona and other western
states demand immediate access to the
newest styles The Armstrong-Tur
Millinery company of Denver was es-
tablished to meet this need. 1t is pri-
marily a western house for western
trade.
Armstrong Turner maintains design
ers in all of the eastern and coast
style eenters as we'll as in Paris and
other style centers of the continent
Exclusive styles are purchased and
Forwarded Immediately to the Denver
factory, where they are made UP in the
various sizes and forwarded to dis
tributors in the various states in the
west. Medium and popular priced
models result from the policy adopted
by this firm and Phelps Dodge Mer-
camille company in forming connec-
tion with them has passed real BEN
Eft to it's patrons.

CHICAGO FIRM HAS
COAST BRANCH TO
SPEED DELIVERIES

The establishment of a branch of
Lipson Brothers of Chicago in Los An
geles was real event in merchandise
ing history. Lipson supplies the best
trade in the entire country with silk
and wool dresses and while they have
always enjoyed large western trade at
their Chicago office, the Los Angeles
branch speeds up the delivery OF
styles to merchants in the mountain
states and along the Pacific coast. At
the same time, Lipson was benefited
by being in close proximity to the
movie colony at Hollywood, where
styles are made over night. Their
close connection with the movie CEN
ter enables them to deliver to their
eastern customers these new styles
much faster than most of the other
dress houses in the east.
Phelps Dodge formed a business con-
nection with Lipson many years ago,
and the women of Cochise county and
the other communities where Phelps
Dodge stores are operated, have long
profitted by this connection.
