 Unique Position
 As lover and student of Eng fish rural life, with over three score years of literary activity and score of novels, poems and dramas to his credit, he held q unique and enviable position among his contemporaries.
 His best known novels are "Far From the Maddenng Crowd" ''Tess of the D'Urbervilles, 'Ths Return of the Native" "The May or of Casterbridge," tanother name for Dorchester) and "The Woodlanders.
 "The Dynasts." which many hold to be Hardy's supreme achievement, is an epic drama telling the story of Napoleon 's career, in three parts, 13 acts and 11O scenes. His "Satires of Cir cumstance'' are praised by many as his most musically and sus gestiYely beautiful poems.
 Good Old English Stock

 When he was 27, Hardy gave up living in London, where he had resided five years, and turn cd to write prose fiction, for the setting of which he chose natural ly his own part of England
 In a ten mile circle around Dorchester lived half of Hardy's characters and stand half his scenes. Most of his shorf stories and nearly all his poems fall with in the circle. and parts Of the landscapes depicted in taem are recognizable to the present dav.

 These descriptions, ,.crevcr, W Nbns Dy lId5lcI uuiil. Hardy felt tho places and the peo. plc they were part of him. Of his "Wessex Poems," he said they "are in large degree dramatic or personative in conception"
 This focal color was and re- mained the atmosphere of Hardy S life from youth upwards, just as the hedges and woods of War wickshire lay over in the back ground of Shakespeare's mind.
 Again, in his war poems, it was revealed how sure and penetrat. ing was Hardy's insight into the real Englishmen; the peasant who has always been the backbone of the British army. His rustics have been compared with Shake speare's:. he had the Shakspea.'. can sense of their placid vegeta- | tion by th9 side of hurrying anl. maj life to which they act as part Eef the. chorus. with an unconsci- olss wisdom in their close. narrow ; and undiatracted view of things. | Good Verse
 For my own part" Hardy once commented, q think. though all writers may not agree with me that the shortest way to good prose is by the route of good verse. The apparent paradox cannot remember who first ex pressed it--that the best poetry is the best prose, ceases on ex animation to be a paradox and becomes a truism."
 Honors came to Hardy in pro fusion in the course of his long career. Most English universities conferred upon him the degree ol doctor of literature; he was ]

And the club has Fred Marberry

The Nationals. however, had done

man before that happened. Fifteen
hits had bounced from their bats, twelve
of them off Stewards deliveries before
the left-hander left the game with one
on and one out in the eighth. Coffman
drew three-hit and one-run punish
ment in the ninth before giving way to
the left-handed Harold WiltSe with
two on and two out.
All the Nationals except Joe Cronin

Then Manush boosted his average.

And how they pitched to this Goslin
In the opener of the series here. The
first time he was at bat the Goose had
to face everything the left-handed WAL
ter Stewart had in his repertoire.
Hooks, fast ones and a dazzling change
Of pace came Goslins way. Up came
three pitches wide of the plate, then
Q couple of strikes.
Goose Has Bad Luck.
The Goose finally socked one through
the pitchers box that would have been
a real hit had there not been a mud
puddle back of second base as result
of an early morning rain. The puddle
slowed up the ball just enough to en-
able Oscar Melillo to make nifty stop
and flag the Goose at first.
Sam Rice was at the middle base
with two out the second time Goslin
was up, but again came a drive to
Melillo. However. there was no chance
Of this drive becoming a hit. 1t was
an ordinary bounder to the second
sacker. The third time the Goose STEP
ped to the plate Rice was at first by
virtue of a single and Goslin swung
earnestly at the ball. Once more a
bounder to Melillo and double play
followed.
It was different the fourth time Cos
lin batted. He opened the eighth in
ming and did so with corking double,
driven to left center. A real hit it was.
But when the Goose came up in the
ninth. Manager Dan Howley of the
Browns changed pitchers. substituting
the left.handed Harold Wiltse for the
orthodox dinging Dick Coffman.
And didn't Wiltse work against Cos
lin. He worked to such an extent that
Rice, who was on first with two out,
was permitted to amble to second base
unnaolested. Wiltse wound up carefully
before each pitch, paying no attention
to Rice. But Goslin was watchful and
drew pass.

Nationals, gave Manush tough time
of it, too, during the first part Of the

GOOSE HAS NARROW
EDGE ON MANUSH
Gets but One Hit Against
Two for Heinie, but Leads
by a Point.
by JOHN B. KELLER.

ut. LOUIS, September 28.-It was
a tough business, this, of becom-
ing a batting champion. Goose
~ Goslin discovered it yesterday
when engaged in immediate COM
bat with Heinie Manush for the swat
ting crown of the American League.
The best the Goose could do was
drive out one hit in four legal times
at bat, while Heinie, after two trips
to the plate that counted against him,
came through with single and
homer in his last two times in the
batting box And that gained con-
siderable ground in the race for Heinie.
Here's how the AVERAGES are now:
