BY United Press Leased Wire

FRESNO, Cal, Sept. William
Lucas, S2year-old violin-maker and
former prospcctor, is alive and well

Robert Moses Grove, of the Phila-
delphia Athletics and Herb Pennock
of the New York Yankees, have
been termed the greatest lcft-hand
ers in the game. They merit the
superlative.
Records in baseball speak louder
than words and the records for the
year of these two stellar Southpaws
in large way account for the com
manding lead held by the Yankees
and the Athletics over the othcr
clubs in the American League.
Before going out of the game in
,he middle of August with SORE
arm, Pcnnock had contributed II
victories against six losses to the
Yankee cause, for an average Of
.739, while Lefty Grove 5 fine
average of around $50 has douy
much to keep the Athletics in the
race.
Last season Pennock won 1g
games and lost eight while Grove
won &c and lost Is Pcnnock allowed
the Pittsburgh Pirates only three
hits in the third game of the world
series TO give the dhkttS ihtli
third consecutive win by the score
Of 5 to |.
Grove Cost S105,00O
Connie Mack relieved the Phila.
delphia Athletics treasury OF $l05,
COO when he purchased Grove from
the Baltimore Orioles in Che winte4
Iot 1924. This sum represented the
| largest amount ever spent for q
| pitcher The terms of the sale BY
| which Grove went to the Athletics
called for the money to hc paid IN
annual installmentS for n period OF
II wears. This cascd the burden but
the cash will be paid Just the same
Pcnnock has been in the Ameri
can League for II years although he
is only % years old. Connie Mack
also introduced this star lpft-hand
er to the ways of the big leagues
Back in 1912 the high school nine
| of kcnnett Square. Pa, had Il tail
sangling youth as pitcher who was
winning games consistently. Fol
lowing his school days he joined tn,

Philadelphia newspapers began t,

old wonder down at Kennett Square.
Connie Mack was interested and one
day he made a trip to the scene of
Herb Pcnnock s boyhood activities
and returned with a signed contract.
Pennock to Boston
1t was not until 1914 that PEN
mock became a regular on the Ath-
letic staff. Although six-footcr he
WAS frail looking and weighed only
145 pounds. That year he won
! and lost four and was big
factor in the Athletics winning the
American League Pennant. Follow
ing that year, the Philadelphia ma
chine was broken up.
In the spring Pcnnock was sent
to Bufflo but was soon recalled by
the Boston Red Sox. In 1916 Bos
ton sent him back to Buffalo. only
TO bring him back in 1917. In 1922
the New York Yankees exchanged
inficldcr Mcmillan and Outfieldcr
skinner and big wad Of money for
the southpaw.
When Lefty Grove came 10 the
Athletics from the Orioles. he had
a failing which is common among
Young twirlcrs breaking into the
bic show. He had world of speed
and lot of stuff but he knew next
10 nothing about the science of
pitching. Connie Mack and Ira
Thomas tackled the job of re-vamP-
ing Groves : style. The experiment
was successful. Grove is twenty
eight years old. He was born at
Longacoming. Md, on March 6,
! 1900. He broke into professional
hall with Martinsburg in the Blue
Ridge League in 1920, and early in
,hc season was bought by Baltimore.

CAMPUS STARS
SOUGHT AFTER
BY BIG LEAGUES
ny United Press Leased Wire

Every year the roll of college
men who have attained success in
professional baseball grows longer
uud the season of 1928 is no cxcep.
tiou.
There are several collegians who
have gained fame on the big league
diamonds this summer. among them
Barnes Of the Washington Scnat-
ors, Bcttencourt of the st. Louis
Browns and Walsh of the White.
Son.
The day has long since passed
when a fraternity pin on baseball
player would have set him apart,
a marked man to be Stunned 10y
his less elegant fellows. And while
the conversation Of big league stars
: not vet rs literary as in the
oxford Union on in meeting 6e-
tween Gene Tunncv and Hugh Wal
pole it is 10 longer definitely low
brow.
And it is an indisputable fact
that the reign Of poker has giveh
WAY to bridge. The old timers
lament thqt four cut of five rockies
nowadays have never spent exc
ming after evening trying to fill an
inside straight.
Change Was Slow
Al the time when Eddie Collins
and the late Christy Mathewson
were newcomers to the big leagues
much was made Of the fact that
they were college men-Eddir ut
Columbia and Christy at Bucknell.
In those days many players who
had been on a campus and 'kneW
the difference between integral cal
cuius and thcrmodynamics tried
their best to hide their past 1t
was not at all unusual for Il dia-
mond athlete to ciuip himself with
a new surname and start all over
again. irving to live down among his
fellows the fact that he once had
dwclt in 4 classroom.
But in these times the shoe is so
nearly on the other foot that man
often claims a collegiate back
ground if he never got any further
toward degree than an unsatiS-
factory interview with the regis
trar.
Several Well Educated
Since a university course does
not always mean education il is 4
pleasure to report that few play
crs are actually well read and tai
cnted in fields other than the
throwing, catching and batting Of
baseballs. Art Nehf of the Chr
cago Clubs and Moe Berg of the
Chicago White SoX qualify in that
category. \ four-syllable word ls
no longer bar TO diamond fame.
Baseball scouts Of these days are
spending large part of their time
watchin: college games and box
scores and records Of these con
tests are scanned eagerly in the
club offices.
But the particular fly in this oin',
ment is that college baseball is not
thriving. Very few college teams
manage to pay their own way the
rest Of them beng supported d!
the football clcvenS.
In fact a few.

RUN-BEFORE IT is TOO LATE

Dear Miss Flo:
Many months ago l read your ar
ticle in which you advised a girl to
give I'D the married man whom she
loved. l too was faced with the same
prOblem-and l tried to follow your
advice. l was deeply in love with my
emplOyer-sO l gave up the lucrative
position which | held. | haven't seen
or heard from him since, but my love
for him has increased rather than
abated and my triumph of will-pOwer
and self respect is bringing me very
little consolation. | am utterly miser-
able. know that he is making a
great effort to forget and fulfill the
duty he owes to his wife and children
and that he is just as unhappy as [.
Divorce is impossible. And. withal, l
cannot believe that such remedy is
ever "a cure. Life is so shOrt-sO bit
ter-why aren't we justified in taking
our happiness where we find it-fOr-
getting our conventions and inhibi-
tiOns-and stealing a few moments of
love. l.. A,
One argument which has often been
used against women working in Off
ces is that they are always falling in
love with their employers and being
miserable about it. While l know
that such accusation is unjust. l an
becoming rather impatient with those
women who do seem to justify the ar
gument. They seem to envelop the
man with veil of glamor and ro
nance which he is far from deserv
ing-and manlike he can't resist the
flattery and the first thing you know
there is what is commonly called "al
affair"
And most unfortunate affair TO-
everybody concerned. If it is a mer,
scratch on the heart, such as mos
: affairs with married men are, it Nigh
: heal in few months without ever
! leaving scar.
But no remedy is a universal cur
guaranteed never to fail, and Will
it is true that time and absence do al
!. most always cure, they are not al
ways effective. For there are me
and women who love but once and VIII
are faithful to that love until dealt
+ Then the wound goes deeper-and
j. might take years for even the surfac
+ of the wound to heal over, and ther
Y might never be a moonlight night O
which the old hurt would not thro
with dull pain.
Perhaps you are one of those fe,
