Bombay, India, Aug. 14 Pt-A siderable dimensions was under stood here today to be headed tow ard the PeshaWar northwest front fer district in consequence of ap- parent official resolve to suppress continued tribal unrest there.
 Reports from Lahore said that a large body of infantry. cavalry, and air force had been dispatched to Peshawar, with armored cars ac- companying them.
 It was not known just how much of this outlay would go to the frontier, but a considerable number was known to be ertraining.
 The movement was taken sener- ally as indicating the authorities re- garded the tribal upheaval as con- tinuing serious notwithstanding the immediately improved situation at Peshawar.
 It was said here that the Mohm- ands and Shinwaris, among the most formidable of the tribal war riors. have not yet responded to at tempts of the Haji of Turangzai and other leaders to arouse them to action. These two tribes dwell on the Afghan side of the border: their reluctance hitherto to join the fray is said to le due to stern warn ings they have received from Nadir Shah, king of Afghanistan. to re- frain from cooperating with the Afridis.

|evitably, candidates are measured by the Hitchcock standard and found somewhat wanting.
 All things considered, Winston Guest probably is the best No. 3 now in American polo but he has been playing, and improving, as a back, with the support of Hitchcock at No. g. Up front, Eric Pedley, the square jawed Californian who is built like Jack Dempsey, seems a fixture at No. 1.
 Tn the race for the job at No. P Elmer Boeseke, Jr., of California, Cecil Smith of Texas and Detroit, Earle A. s. Hopping of New York stand out as the leading contend ers.
 Smith, say those closest to the game, possesses natural polo play ing ability second only to Hitch cock. A former cowboy, the broad shouldered Texan rides easily and hits with unusual crispness.
 Hopping, if he recovers satisfac- torily from a bad fall two weeks ago, will be a difficult man to keep off the team. Like Boeseke, Earle can fit in either at No 2 or back. depending on whether Guest is again shifted.

With all the uproar about over emphasis of the home run and live illness of the ball, it is noteworthy that no year in the last ten has produced professional pitching per formances as outstanding as those of 193O
 Scarcely a day passes but there is To or 2-1 battle of pitchers tc offset a 17-15 slugfest. Since the same grade of baseball is used in both cases. the charge that it is too lively seems offset by the evidence that the calibre of pitching has con- siderable to do with the matter.
 Even with second-division clubs twirlers such as Ted Lyons of the White Sox, Phil Collins of the Phillies, Macfayden of the Red Sox, Harry Seibold of the Braves, Earl Whitehill of the Tigers and Lefty Stewart of the Browns have turned in consistently brilliant work.
 j Grove and Earnshaw have shoul- dcred more than half of Connie Mack's pitching worries as the As have moved out in front of the American League pack. It is seldom that a first-stringer like Grove is called on for so much relief work, but the southpaw's speed has proved equal to the dual responsibility.
 Clark, Vance, Luque and Phelps are four of the main reasons why Brooklyn has fought for and held the advantage in the red-hot Na- tional league race.
 The Cubs have countered with Root, Bush and Malone, the Giants with Walker, Hubbell and Fitzsim- mons. The outcome of the race very likely will hinge on which of these combinations is best able to stand the gaff through August and September.
 In the days of Tommy Hitch cocks youth" Amrica had only one international No. 2 player. His name was Hitchcock and no substi- ute was needed, barring mishap. Now that the Yankee captain is a veteran in his early thirtieS and has moved back to the more strate- gic No. post the chief problem in forming the 193o Big Four is in locating a suitable No. 2. In-
