WE'RE BELOW FORM


Throughout. the series the Pirates
seemed to be suffering from an in
feriority complex.
After watching the New York club
in action prior to the. opening of the
series, the players acted as If they
believed all the complimentary things
that had been written about the
American league champions.
I With the possible exception OF the
last game, there didn't seem to be
any fight in the Pirates. The team
as a whole, acted as if they realized
New York was better club and
would ultimately triumph.
When two errors by New York in
the seventh inning of the fourth
game gave Pittsburgh a chance to
tie it up, the Pirates rnomentarily
spurted to even the count, but two
innings later tossed the game away.
Pittsburgh played as if the team
had burned itself out in winning the
pennant and early conceded in their
own minds that the Yanks were the
better team. For that reason the
series lacked the interest that usually
goes with the fall classic.
New York is unquestionably the
better team, but in justice to the
Pirates it must be said Busll's
club was. far below form and
never got going.

PIRATES saw SLUGGING


While all this was happening, the
Pirates, who had practiced first, sat
in the stands and watched the Yam
KEGS give perfect demonstration OF
their remarkable batting power.
This may have been desired ges-
ture on the part of Miller Higgins.
No doubt he told the pitchers who
worked in batting practice to lay the
ball right over Whatever his in
structions, the Yankees couldn't have
looked more formidable at the bal
than they did that day.
On the day of the opener. I sat on
the Pittsburgh bench talking with
DOME Bush, while the Yankees took
their batting practice. All four Pitts
burgh pitchers who expected to work
in the series, Kremer, Aldridge, Hill
and Meadows, swere lined up beside
the Pittsburgh bench, watching In
tently the methods of the Yankee
batsmen.
AS on the previous day, the
Yanks were in a batting mood,
sIaTnming the ball all over the
lot, also out of it. The psychOl-
sOgy of the Yankees bats I'M
doubtedIy had far-reaching eff

Governor Young has Just signed bill whereby per-

anyone who has served two terms in prison and has
not learned that he must abide by the rules and regu
ations of organized society should be denied the priv
neges which organized society extends.
Although the law drawn in California is said to
De the strctest of its kind in the country similar laws
nave been enforced in other states and said TO
have made the criminal element wary-at least about
getting caught.
1t sounds harsh to send to prison for life be-
cause he cannot obey the law but perhaps it is not as
narsh as 1t sounds. Many murderers have been sent
enced to prison for life in California, life being var
liable length of time, in less than 10 years
POSSIBLY this new fe' sentence for habitua criminals
Will work out the same way.
If the state really wishes throw the fear of the
law INTO the criminal element, it would accomplish
much by making life sentence mean Just what it saws
for life.

hanged for murder. He had previously murdered

CHEWING UP FORESTS

the original stands in Central America and along the
Amazon valley are slowly disappearing. Other reg

tapped and are consequently doomed
Lest anyone to whom gum chewing is an annoyance
leap to the conclusion that that pastme will disappear

cultivated plantations are to take the place of the
