@. How are airplanes catapulted of
ships?---S. s.
A. There are two methods of cata-
putting airplaneS off Ships--the gun
powder catapult and the compressed air
catapult. These devices work in much
the same way as does a slingshot. The
plane is placed on car, which is on a
track on the deck OF a ship. The re-
leasing OF compressed air or of gun
powder at the back of the plane assists
it to pick up the necessary flying speed.

N. Y. Artillery Cracks
It was a drowsy game and the

aroused only by the occasional
whang Of a bat when the Yankee
artillery was cracking and by the
one smack Jim Bottomley TOOK
when he rode the ball over the
Babes head for a homer and the

champs could score.
Young Mr.. Hoyt was in command
through the whole game. He was
heartless until the seventh when a
period came on him that might be
described as a wobble. But if his
wobble was getting serious it was
overcome by some very Snappy
fielding by his mates.
The smack of the Babe in the
first inning was very obviously the
stroke that inspired the Yanks and
they stayed inspired very definitely.
They perked up like they had
been given a couple of shots, anu

slammed the homer that scored the
Babe ahead of him in the fourth
inning he became so full of pep he

actual took five steps around il,
his pasture. His previous record
was four steps.
How To Score EN-
The YankS scored their runs by
the best run-scoring method known
to baseball. Their Babe got on
twice and they knocked him in.
Their Marcus Koenig got on once
in the eighth and they knocked
him in. The Cards couldn't do that.
Hoyt sent them back to the gloom
Of their dugout as fast as they
stepped up. Sherdel lost the ball
game because he didn't pitch as
we'll as Hoyt.
Dropping the first game the Cards
are now in the hole. 1t was report
ed today that Jess TIaines would be
sent in to save the second game.
The experts couldn't agree with
AGcKechnie on this strategy. They
figured it was the proper spot for
"Old Pete" Alexander. If Alex is
held off until Sunday he might be
able to make only one appearance
and apparently the Cards need sew
eral of his appearances because the
YankS are off now.
They have confidence in them
selves, Higgins can play around a
little with his pitchers and, it is
well known, the Yanks are helluva
team to beat in a tight place.
