they either roll all the way over or

The extreme thrift of the French
is nowhere better illustrated than in
some of the smaller cafes where
regular patrons file their napkins in
a sort of rack, suggestive of the rows
of shaving mugs in an old-time bar

laundry of that bit of linen. Some
may call it thrift-the French call it

Beware Friendly Enemy"

The original saying, II fear the
Greeks bearing gifts" appears in YER
gils "Aeneid." The reference is to
the siege of Troy. The Greeks be-
sieged the city of Troy without sue
cess. Finally they resorted to STRAIT
egy offering a huge wooden horse to
the Trojans as a gift The horse was
taken into the city, and while the
Trojans slept the warriors, with
which the horse was filled, came forth
and opened the gates for their Greek
comrades. The conclusion is that one
should fear an enemy most when he
seems friendliest.
Old Feller: Listen here. I'm GO
ing to stop this flirting around here"

You have heard of people
being so unfortunate they were
born with three strikes on
them! That is supposed to be
the height of bad breaks.
Then you might think Spencer
Harris, the Minneapolis out
fielder who recently went hence
from Washington, is a living
example of such a curse at
birth, for the fact that nature
made him left-hander is
probably the, reason he isn't
with the Griffmen today.
However, Harris does not
share that belief with you. He
was glad to get away from
Washington and made no secret
of his feelings.
Spencer knew, as we all
know, that Johnson's team is
surfeited with south sided hit
ters. Such a condition meant
he was almost sure to share the
bench as we'll as the outfield
with Sammy West throughout
a long, tedious season which is
just ahead.
Harris happens to be one of
those restless souls who doesn't
wish to warm the bench with
anyone. He will gladly WELD
any inherent rights he may have
to a dugout chair with those
who crave, the inaction and
ennui such berth implies.
Neither does he wish to divide
any job on a ball club with
another. He wants exclusive
rights to the post for which he
is hired.
In short, Harris would rather
play the full schedule with the
Minneapolis Millers than hang
around Washington all summer
with a chance of getting in SO
or 60 games.
I'D sooner be a big frog in

two will be able to hit this
major league pitching so that
/ can be a regular instead of
an in-and-out member of big
league team"
Harris theory applies to the
average run of bali players.
Most of 'em can't learn sitting
on a major league bench-they
need the actual, daily combat to
polish their game up to major
league luster.
Now and again you will find
a player, usually out of some
college, who can make the most
of an opportunity to gaze at
his more accomplished fellows
afield, but this type is few and
far between.
If George McBride's word
means anything in baseball,
Washington is to see a real ball
player in David Dale Alexan-
der, Bucky Harris new first
baseman, acquired from the
Toronto Leafs during the win
ter for quite a pretty penny.
The veteran Mcbride, who
was Walter Johnson's lieuten-
ant at Newark last year, has
made a close study of the big
rookie, both at the bat and in
the field.
"That boy can hit!" cries
George in an explanatory mood.
"We tried every kind of pitch
ing known to baseball Oh him,
and none of it got by. He came
close to hitting 400 in the
International, and you've got to
know how to swing the wood to
do that"
Mcbride is equally enthusias-
tic about the Alexander field
ing. "tAnd don't let anybody
tell you he's awkward around
the bag. He's one of those loose
fielders, and he gets 'em. I've
yet to see a throw get away
from him. He's as good if not
better than the average in the
majors. :
"One Of his chief assets is he
loves to play. He eats base
ball. And he's just as aggres-
sive as he's ambitious. He's
going to stick"
