CLEV ELANl, AJnIO,E July p.
I'm always getting letters
from fans throughout the
country asking me who is the
best second baseman, short
stop or pitcher in baseball.
Lots OF times. too, they want to
know whether this pitcher is better
than that pitcher; or this catcher Is
better than that catcher.
Those are tough questions.
A ball player judges a pitcher
effectiveness by the way he works
against him. Lots OF times
pitcher may go good against Some
certain player without being Whiz
against other men in the league.
More than anything else fans seem
TO be interested In pitchers. I'm
just one bc1l player out of 400 in the
American LeagI :, and ] suppose
there are 400 different opinions. To
my mind, however. the three pitchers
who rate around the top are leo
Lyons, Of the White Sox; George
Uhle, of the Cleveland Indians. and
Herbie Pennock. of the Yankees.

Different pitchers. of course. get

Bob Grove, of the Athletics, for IN

In the league. His fast ball IS

The best overland curve In the

Among the best change of pace
pitchers in the league are Lyons,
Uhle and Waite Hoyt of the YAM
KEGS. These fellows have good fast.
balls and good curves, but it's their
ability to change pace-"put a.
string on 'em" we say in the big
leagues-that makes them great
pitchers.
The best screw ball I've seen
in years belongs to Garland Brax-
ton OF the Washington Senator'S.
Brax throws his screw ball side
arm and it breaks out and down
to a right hand hitter like Matty's
fadeway used to do. When he has
good control that screw ball is
practically unhittable and he proved
it against the Yankees few days

A lot of pitchers in the league have
great control. Take old.timers like
Shocker, Coveleskie, Jack Quinn and
Tom Zachary. Those fellows get by
for the most part on control alone.
They've lost a lot of their stuff, but
they still win ball games just because
they can put that ball where they
want it--and because they're smart.
They know hitters-and they make a
knowledge of hitters take the place
of the curve ball and the fast one
that they used to have.
You hear fans talking occasionally
about smart pitchers. Let me tell
you this right now. Any pitcher that
gets by in the big leagues is fairly
smart. IL he wasn't he wouldn't be
there. Some, of course, are smarter
than others, because they study the
game more. The less stuff a pitcher
has the more he has to depend on
knowledge-and the older a man gets
the more he learns ito make his
head take the strain off his arm"
When you talk of smart pitching
you've got to hand it to fellows like
Uhle. Lyons, Shocker, Pennock,
Quinn, Coveleskie. Zachary and men
of that type. They're not only smart
onas-but they're typical of what you
mean when you say smart pitchers.
Alexander is another of that type. So
is Larry Benton, of the Giants, and
jess Petty, of the Dodgers. Art
Nehf, the old Giant lefthander, was
smart, too.
There are lot of others-but these
are enough to show what mean.
/ don't know if I've answered the
questions the fans ask in letters or
not. It's a tough assignment to pick
the best from the whole lot. But I'll
put 1t this way. There are no better
pitchers in the game than those I've
mentioned.

Different pitchers have their
different specia1itieS. When
Waite Hoyt Is in hole, for
instance, he's apt to come
through with that fast ball.
When PennOck is in a hole and
knows a man is going to hit
he comes through with his
overland curve. George Uhle
win use his slow curve. Brax.

BUILDING TREND
INCREASE SEEN

North Dakota was one Of the
states in the northwest that enjoyed
a substantial increase in contracts
let for new buildings and engineer
ing work during the month of Octo-
Der, according to the Commercial
West, bankers publication.
Minnesota, the Dakot2s and
northern Michigan had $9,555, 800 in
contracts for new buildings and
engineering work during the past
month, the magazine said.
"The above figure was 40 per cent
ahead of the total for September of
this year and it was 35 per cent in
excess Of October, 1927, total. IN
cluded in last months building rec
ord were the following items of i'm
portance: $4,474,7OO, or AZ per
cent of all construction, for residen-
tial buildings; $3,171,2OO, or 33 per
cent for public works and utilities;
$744,3OO, or eight per cent, for COM
mercial buildings; and S36O,5OO, or
four per cent for educational prof.
ects.
New construction started in the
Northwest during the first 10
months Of this year has reached a
total of $70,598,70 which was a
loss of z per cent from the amount
started during the first 10 months
Of 1927.
Contemplated projects as report
ed last month in this district
amounted to s9,855,5OO. This figure
was Sc per cent ahead Of the amount
reported in September of this year
and it was thirty per cent above the
amount reported in October Of last
year.

ARRESTS PEND
IN S-H0UR LAW
Supreme Court Decision to BE
Used as Basis for Women
Working Day Action

Enforcement of the eight-hour
working day for women in North
Dakota will hereafter be more strin-
gent, according to Miss Alice Angus,
secretary of the minimum wage de-
partment of the state workmen's
compensation bureau.
Several arrests for violation Of the
law are expected to result from the
recent decision of the supreme court
in the case of Ed Ehr, manager Of
q Minot cafe, Miss Angus said. She
said that up to this time there had
been some doubt as to the constitu-
tionality Of the law but following the
supreme court verdict against Ehr
the work Of prosecuting violators of
the law would be put on firmer
basis.
She pointed out that warrants
had been sworn out against oper-
ators of the seven largest cafes in
Minot and that the case against Ehr
had been merely to test the law.
The case was the first to come up
In supreme court regarding the pro-
tective law for women in this state.
The secretary Of the department
makes two inspection trips yearly,
visiting all towns and cities Of 1900
or more persons, and going through
all places Of business where women
form the largest part of the force
She does not, however, visit any
offices.
Although only nine persons wer;
arrested and fined on the last in.
spection trip, due to the fact that
the Ehr case had been pending ir
supreme court for more than year
arrests for violation of the law arc
expected to be more numerous in
the future.

SMALL DOCKET
BEFORE COURT
Decisions Held Over from No.
yember Term May Be De-
layed by Justices

Justices of the supreme court will
face the lightest December docket
in several years when the next term
starts but cases to be- decided upon
from the November session will
probably bring the work to be done
up to the average.
Only about 10 cases are expected
to be scheduled when the time limit
for filing the cases expires Mon
day.
The December term of the court
was scheduled to start on the fourth
of the month, but because Chief
Justice Nuessle must serve on the
state board Of pardons. the OPEN
ing session probably will be delayed
several days.
Arguments in the November term
are expected to continue until within
few days Of the opening of the
December term, giving the justices
little time to make their decisions.
1t is probable, according to inform
alton at the court chamber. that
some decisions on cases coming up
in November will be held over until
after the December term.
1t has been the custom of the JUS
tees to withhold any decisions while
arguments in other cases are be-
ing heard.

TIPSTER SHEET
ACTION URGED
Use of Telephone to Constitute
Federal Offense Under Pro.
posed Law

Tipster sheet swindlers may find
use Of the long distance telephone to
develop their stock game in North
Dakota as dangerous as it is to use
the mails for that purpose, if pro-
posed federal legislation is passed.
As a result of publicity given the
methods used by the swindlers, Con-
gresham Walter Newton of Min
nesota has devised bill which he
hopes will end the operations of the
"tipster service" companies over the
telephone systems Of the country.
Proponents of the bill will get the
full cooperation Of the North Dakota
state banking department, officials
at the department said, in an effort
to halt the theft of huge sums of
money throughout North Dakota
each year.
1T is a crying shame that this
class of swindlers can go about their
work of mulcting innocent and un-
advised men and women out Of their
earnings without some sort of con-
troll" Newton said in a bankers as
ISOLATION publication.
L know that they make liberal
use Of the telephone systems, even
in the face Of efforts Of the tele-
phone companies to prevent them
from using their lines where they
are quite certain that they are be-
ing used for such a purpose. The
telephone companies, of course, can
not do much to stop such practices.
They cannot, obviously, know all who
are using their lines. and think
they would welcome some means of
putting a stop to the work of these
swindlers.
Il am not in position at this time
to state just what can be done. l
am satisfied, however, that some
method can be devised that will put
stop in a large degree to the en-
ployment of the telephone for such
purposes. Possibly some method of
control can be worked out through
the Interstate Commerce commits
sion in which the telephone compan-
les, ! am sure, will be glad to CO.
operate.

America, Germany and Italy
Compete for Honors as
Leader Of Aviation

Washington, Nov. 17.-(AP)-
Americas three-cornered race with
Germany and Italy for world SUI
premacy in endurance flying has
been carried to California, with ev-
cry indication that the years most
spectacular international contest
cannot be called closed until 1929
is officially ushered in.
Lee Schoenair, who piloted Harry
Tucker across the continent in an at
tempted nonstop flight from Cali
fornia to New York only to be
forced down in Ohio, is awaiting an
official Paragraph from the National
Aeronautic Association before he be-
gins series of attempts to shatter
the record of IS hours and Is min
utes now held by Germany.
Many Aspirants
While Schoenair makes his final
preparations at San Diego, Captain
Roscoe Turner is ready to continue
his attempts at Oakland. No less
than score of aspirants to the
world airplane duration crown have
carried on their battles against IA
tigue and faulty equipment in the
United States alone since January
/, while dozens have made attempts
abroad, principally in Germany and
Italy.
The United States, Italy and
Germany have each tasted victory
within the year, but the American
and Italian records were both short
lived. Eddie Stinson and George
Haldeman opened the 1923 chapter
of endurance race history late in
March by snatching the world rec
ord from Edzarl and Risztics of
Germany, who had remained aloft
SO hours, % minutes and 81 seconds
in August Of 1927. The Stinson-
Haldeman record of So hours, So
minutes and 80 seconds. made at
Jacksonville, Fla, escaped the Ger
man mark by safe margin.
Italy Enters Race
Two months later the interna-
tional contest took on the aspect of
a three-cornered race when Arturo
Ferrarin and Carlo Del Prete of
