a lot Of fans may say this was
auckland I'll admit there could be
a lucky break to such hitting in
short series. But the AS did that
same sort of hitting all season long.
Those of us in the American League
weren't at all surprised when they
did it in the series. We would have
been really surprised if they hadn't.
The breaks in the series went to
the AS. There's no question about
that. But most of the breaks came
because the AS made them. And
were ON their toes to take advantage
Of them.
To me, the most unique feature
of the series was that there was no
single, outstanding hero, no in
dividual player to whom you could
give credit for really winning the
thing. Ehmke. Grove. Dykes, Sim
mons, Foxx, Haas, MilIer-all of
them had a big hand. But, looking
the thing over as a whole, I'm in
Clined to hand Mickey CoChrane the
palm as the most valuable man in
the series. Mickey didn't do any
thing sensational, but he was the
sparkplug of the Athletics on both
offense and defense. And there
never has been world series that
was better caught or pitchers who
were better handled than those A s
pitchers.

Now as to picking the Cubs. At
the end of the season l get out
an article saying the Athletics
would beat Chicago. AS an Ameri-

that | was far better posted on
the Athletics. But later | made it
my business to tall X to many base.
ball men and newspaper writer's
who had new and good arguments
regarding the Cubs.
so my article just before the
first game said, that while for
friendship sake, I wanted the Ath-
letics to win, still l felt the Cubs
might have shade because of
their pitching and world series
experience. The article picking
the AS was written about Septem-
Der %. sent out by mail and pub
lished October Z. The article picking
the Cubs went by wire and was
published October s. With people
reading my articles in many cities
it was up to me to say what l
believed and not what l wished to,
happen.
The final result, of course, proved
that I was dead wrong, but anyone
who would be so foolish as to blame
it to Yankee envy, as several did,
knows very little about baseball
players and absolutely nothing
about the Yankees. Miller Huggins
knew as early as August we couldn'k
win. The players knew the same
but kept trying.
The Athletics are a game
bunch Of young fellows who
crushed the best in both the
American and National Leagues /
by great hitting, great pitching
and great hustIing. This,
coupled with the leadership OF 4
the one and only Connie Mack. 4
makes them one of the greatest
clubs that ever won a world
series title.
And if anyone doubts my kindly
feelings for the Athletics manager,
just ask Connie himself.
l wouldn't bore the readers with
these post-season explanations If it
wasn't for the fact that this article
closes my attempts at writing for
1929. / guessed wrong. / admit
it, and I'm sorry. Even an Eek

But I do hand it to him for playing

He was great and he never quit.
He was fighting Just as hard when
he chased so hopelessly after Mil

when the series opened in Chicago,
Both clubs fought. and played the

The same iron man proposition
that has confronted the red and
white elevens Of previous seasons is
again haunting Coach Ahern.
Since new Public High ruling
makes it necessary for a school TO
have Is eligible men available wnen

town institution must develop at
least two more shock troops in time
for its opening game with Business
next week.

row.

may be out OF the running alto
gether as the result OF a bad knee.
This wholesale row Of mis-
fortunes has forced Coach .Ahrrm
to patch up his backfieId with
two players who have never
before seen gridiron service.
Draper, last year a lineman who
recently was shifted to fullback,
will call signals while Willard is
expected to show at fullback.
Williams and Murphy, the nov
ices, are being groOmed for the
halves. Exactly four players and
no more comprise the ball carrying
lot. Williams, hard plugging
youngster, will be striving to make
Westerns first eleven in his fit
teenth year.
In an emergency Capt. Quincy
Owens, star center, would revert to
the backfield
Coach Orrel Mitchell denies that he
considers the red and white a set-up
70" his GOnzagans and has polished
his best lineup to start the game.
Al Farrell Purple and White cap
tain, is being touted in many quar-
ters as the outstanding tackle in
this section.
At the start of the season Far
rell had visions of scaling the
heights as a fullback but was
advised by Coach Mitchell to
stay put on the line, the position
for which he was best suited.
Since following this instruction
he has developed into one of the
hardest charging men in Con
Zaga's history.

All battleships and submarines were very soon
equipped with this device.
"Mr. Sperrys early work on the gyroscope led
to the observation that the directional power
employed in the compass was only one of its
major contributions. 1t has another useful
power, which Mr.. Sperry often refers to as the
muscle of the gyro. the reaction available for
the Sterilization of any oscillating body such as
a rolling ship. Beginning with the first tests
of ships models in tanks-by that nestor of
naval experimentalists, the elder Froude-it
came to be recognized that ships rolled freely.
the energy of the roll being insignificant at its
beginning before the individual wave sections
by their combined efforts had built up wide
angle rolling. Both energy and roll due to any
single wave expansion were insignificant. Real
izing this fact Sir Philip Watts was the first to
provide means for suppreSsing roll, installing
his device on two battleships in the early 8Os.
NAVAL architects have followed his lead With
many attempts to reduce the rolling OF ships. It
was realized that If the energy OF each wave
expansion could be anticipated by corresponding
reaction, then the ship could be easily prevented
from all beginnings of rolling and thus would
never roll, except very slightly. Mr.. Sperry,
with the active type Of gyroscope, created and
properly timed the anticipatory reactions, and
gagged their power to meet each wave expansion
as it arrived. This method involved artificial
motion Of the gyroscope on a non-rolling ship
while maintaining level deck. 1t was an out
standing achievement
I'm tests little reversing engine was used
to produce the artificial motion, which caused
the gyro to oscfate between two rolling posi-
tons. Important to note. it was established that
when entirely free from roll the ship was also
entirely devoid of stresses All groanings and
other weird noises of rolling ship ceased COM
pletely when it was stabilized. Calculations by
naval architects in different countries all prove
conclusively that this is exactly what should
have occurred.

Sale Of Reindeer Meat.

IF your appetite is bit jaded with beef veal.
lamb pork and poultry a new meat may
soon be available to reawaken your interest in
: food.
few years ago q sample or trial shipment
of reindeer meat was made to the Eastern Sec
ton Of the country and then no more was forth
coming and the shipment was soon forgotten.
The proposed entry of reindeer meat into the
market, however, was not q fash in the pan,
and preparations have gone forward steadily
toward the day when Alaska will take its place
with the States in supplying the Nations meat
rations The herds have been increased until
now there is available a large quantity of the
meat for export The meat was first marketed
in the Northwest then on transcontinental
trains and finally in metropolitan hotels in the
East.
Looking to the time when the meat will be
regularly in the market Bureau of Home Eco
Monies experts have worked ont a reindeer
recipe book Because the meat is shipped
frozen, care has to be taken in gradually thaw-
ing it at low temperatures before it is ready to
be cooked
The meat has characteristic flavor, gamy,
but not strong. Because of the size and shape
of the reindeer differing from cattle, the cuts
are different and their preparation character
istic. The bureau hopes to be able to furnish
all the needed information for the housewife
by the time the meat is ready for general sale.

PiLotleSS Plane FNght.'

GGT'HIS was the first time that ship was ever
under complete control. BY opening a
single little switch as large as pocketknife, this
control could be removed, with the result that
she would roll to the seas terrificalIy, allowing
all kinds of observations to be made at different
angles to the waves and at different speeds.
Yet the rolling could be suppressed entirely in
about five oscillations by the simple closing of
this same Switch
Many yachts also have been fitted with gyro-
stabilizers during the last few years, additional
evidence that complete sterilization of ships has
now become an established fact The pioneer
work of Mr.. Sperry will certainly lead to the
adoption of this device for both naval and
passenger service 1t will make an extremely
important contribution to both, but especially
to the Navy by increasing the accuracy of gun
fire and the facility to serve the guns. It will
also increase the usefulness of arplane-carriers"
