MACKS BANKING
ON GROVE

Robert C"Lefty'D Grove, star
southpaw of the Philadelphia
Athletics, is expected to get his
opportunity to shine in the 1890
world series, chance that fate
denied him last year. In the
1929 classic, Manager Connie
Mack used him as q relief pitcher
In two games because the Chi
cago Cubs were supposed to be
death" on lefthanders. All told
Grove twirled but six and one
half innings in the last world
series.
But this year he is down as
starting pitcher and great things
are looked for from him. For he
has had a wonderful season,
winning more than Is ball games,
which is quite a feat. He Is one
OF the fastest pitchers in base
ball.
Lefty" Is q tall, slim chap
with . soft Southern drawl.
He doesn't care for publicity
and rarely talks about him.
self. He Is 80 years old.
He was born In Homecoming,
Nd, March 6, 1900. He is
6 feet, 2h inches tall and
weighs 175 pounds. He bats
and throws Ieft-handed.
He first played professional ball
IN 1920 with the Martinsburg
Club in the Blue Ridge League,
The following season he was
signed by Baltimore Of the Inter
national League and played with
that club until the end of the
1924 season when Connie Mack
purchased him for q price re-
puted to be $1O5, 900.
His first year with the AS.
1925, he won 10 games and lost
II for a percentage of Ass; the
following year he won 13 and
lost 13 for percentage of 500:
in 1877 he got going in great
shape winning 80 and losing 13
for a percentage of COG.
In 1928 he did even better,
winning "a and losing only s
for q percentage of $50 and
last year he won 20 and lost
for a percentage of .769.
This year he won more than
rs ball games, quite a feat.
Groves modesty is exemplified
by a story they tell of him con-
corning a banquet in his honor
In Philadelphia last fall after the
world series. After hearing
scores praise his deeds on the
diamond, he rose to speak. His
speech broke all records for
brevity. 1t was one word:
Thanks"

Hold Club in Fingers

One Of the most common of
all golfing faults is to hold the
club in the palms Of the hands.
With all grips-whether you
use the overlapping, the nat
ural or the "Chick Evans
the club should be held dag
onally in the fingers. Do not
hold the club too tightly. That
tends to lock the wrists, max
ing the swing stilted and I'M
natural. Next time you are
on the links experiment with
a swing or two, holding tightly
in one instance and loosely in
the other. You'll get the point
quickly.
To refresh the students men,
ory, in the Chick Evans" grip,
the thumb of the left hand is
down the shaft, like in the
overlapping grip, but there is
no overlap.
The Washington times., 1930-09-29
How to Cure 'Heeling'

Another fault, almost as COM
mon as the palming of the club,
is "heeling" or "socketing," /. e.,
striking the ball with the heel
or socket of the club. That
may become chronic unless you
work to end the habit. Picture
3 illustrates a simple remedy
for that evil. Swing at the
inside one Of two balls, and,
after a comparatively short pc.
riod of practice you'll soon find
yourself automatically avoid
ing contacts with the heel or
socket Of your club, even when
the decoy (second) ball is not
used. If the fault persists, a
cigarette stub, a small stick,
stone or some other visible
object can be used on the links
instead Of ball No. 2.

backfield, to add weight needed
in that department.

1T IS NOT so ESSENTIAL
Grand Rapids Herald Review

We place too much stress upon money. The best
things in life are not those things which cost the
most.
In the matter of public health, money may be
essential to treat disease, but not so necessary to
prevent it. The essentials to good health are ex-
ercise, fresh air, sleep and plain food Exercise is
free to those who have energy enough to seek it.
Fresh air abounds-except in few of the larger
cities where the summer heat Expresses. Plain food
costs money, but not much as many foods OF the
expensive Sort More people should eat more of that
which costs less And sleep is cheap too Most peo-
pie burn the candle from both ends and complain
of being tired.
In happiness there is no need for expense. Those
whose pleasures are based upon too strong financial
basis demand, living falsely. Happiness must
be found in ones attitude. Then the common
things of life become sources of entertainment and
pleasure.
Money, to some extent, is essential. Too many
stress it's Importance too strongly.

CHURCH DINNER
Toledo Blade

You may say what you please, but usually, homely
things are the best Take church dinners. Can any
person have better time get food for so
cents than at the church dinner?
The answer is no. It used to be Is cents for a
church meal. But everything has gone up, in twen-
ty-fve years. And, too the church dinner The oys-
ter stew of the church evening has become proverb
ial The game was, you know, to find the oyster But
those days have passed, let us hope forever.
Nowadays when you take the family to the
church dining ROOM service is the watchword Plates
heaped full. There is always some bright-eyed
girl to fill it up again. Chicken, these days. if chick
en-, genial matron who is just more than anx-
ious to know you all. But when church says it is
going to give chicken dnner-well, that means nice,
tender meat, and lot of it, and dumplings and
mashed potatoes and all the trimmings.
Nobody has to take the "piece that went over
the fence last" if he doesn't want it. Then there's
the social side. One can learn more taking things
over at the church table in evening than he
could in a month of Sunday in most other places.
Long may the church dinner survive; long may
its tables groan.

THE NOSE-COUNTERS

Many amusing stories are being told Of
the woes of Uncle Sans census enumerators,
who have been laboring faithfully during the
last few weeks to get an accurate count of
our population, together with such other in
formation as the census act requires.
In Iowa an enumeration found man
whose house stood on county line, and
whose bed had it's head in one county and it's
foot in another. After due consideration it
was decided that the "head of the family
was in the county in which the head of his
bed was located.
President Hoover was required to con-
fde to the enumeration that he was able to
read and write, and that he was married to
his first (and only) wife at the age of rs.
One nose counter made IL cents extra by
happening to arrive at home a few minutes
after triplets had been born. In another case
a baby had not been named and the enumer-
ator suggested the name of Alice, which was
accepted by the parents.
A few census takers admitted that they
had habitually added from 10 to Is years to
the ages given by certain ladies in their ter
ritory, when their question had appeared to
be embarrassing.
One lady enumeration was unable to get
information from Chinese who thought she
was trying to obtain laundry package with
out presenting her ticket.

THE "PEDDLER" SEASON

At this season of the year peddlers of
one sort and another become distinct null
sance. Every conceivable article of merchan-
disc is offered to the housewives and to the
business men by itinerant statesmen. They
usually are plausible and not infrequently
they leave town with numerous orders.
AS general rule they offer nothing
which cannot be purchased at home for the
same price. All too often they make seem
ingly attractive prices, but the quality is lat
er found to be decidedly inferior. Nothing
was ever gained by patronizing these house
toulouse peddlers. The purchaser seldom
gets as good quality merchandise as is avail
able in local stores and the home merchants
lose the trade.
