With the Pirates possessed of a

the National League, they were to
open a series with the Giants today
in a double header.

PITCHING VERY IMPORTANT

- OWEVER, to my way OF
ILL thinking, in short series OF
j seven games, pitching is as
dominant factor, if not more SO,
than hitting. Therefore, the condi-
ton of Herb Pennock's left arm is
Just as important as Babe Ruth's
home run bat.
Pennock hasn't been at his best
this year, despite the fact as look
at the records, he shows the very
fat average OF .667 as a winner, with
sixteen victories and only eight de-
featS.
Leg injuries, q bad ankle in par
ticular, have handicapped Pennock
much of the season. Nothing throws
a pitcher off form worse than a leg
injury, particularly if it is the
striding member, as that leg must
carry the weight of the body as
he let's the ball go. That has been
the slim southpaw's trouble most OF
the year.
For several weeks Manager Hug
gins has been nursing PennOck
along, no doubt with a desire to
have him at top form for the
world series. 1t is imperative he
be that way If the Yanks are to
win.

placement Of buildings and people and
animals in the midst of landscape,
that she excells. 1t is not an easy
painters have not always done it.
When figures are introduced in land
scape, or even city pictures, they
must seem to belong, to be enveloped
in atmosphere, to be a part of the
picture, not just put in. This feat
Miss Riley achieves.
Another significant fact in connec.
ton with this exhibition is that it is
hard to distinguish between scenes
abroad and those in this country,
which goes to show that America does
provide the theme, if one has the dis
cernment to discover it.
Miss Riley's method in oil is not
unlike Miss Jacksons in water color.
There is an atmosphere graynesS
sometimes in her color which does
not, however, prevent satisfactory in
depreciation Of the illusion of sun
light. One Of her most pleasing and
successful paintings in this exhibition
shows a row Of tall trees, the foliage
Of which has turned a golden yellow.
The road which these trees border
runs parallel with the lower line of
the canvas, and through them, as a
screen, one sees a distant Hill beyond
Iow-lying fields. A. peasant in a horse
drawn cart passing along the road in
the shadow Of the trees lends a note

Village Set Aside
For Vegetarian Dogs

London hears from Calcutta that a
village has been purchased near Ba-
roda by Hindu millionaire and
turned into settlement for vege.
tartan dogs.
1t is called Kutta- Magyar, kutta
being the Hindu word for dog and
magyar for city. The millionaire be-
longs to a Hindu sect which absolute
ly discountenances the killing of any
living thing in any form, and he
founded his dogtown in order to wean
away fierce Indian CANNES from their
instinct of killing.
All the dogs in the settlement are
fed on rice, wheat, milk and butter
No animal food whatever is given
them. Puppies are fed on semolina
liquefied by clarified butter mixed
with sugar. On reaching months
OF age they are given oiled and sailed
wheat bread.
According to apparently authentic
reports, the dogs are strong and
healthy and the millionaire vege-
tartan hopes to breed a new type OF
dog in which the instinct for blood
will have been eradieated. Mice are
not allowed in the village.
