coated words, if you know how"
Commissioner Kenesaw NJ. Lands is
responsible for this bit of philosophy,
which had its inception in the worlds
series dugouts.
The commissioner broke down the
other day and confessed the truth
about the now-famous worlds series
razzing incident.
Both the Cubs and the Athletics
were cutting loose a line of adjectives
at the other that would have shamed
Dumas or Victor Hugo" he said.
The commissioner decided some
thing had to be done. He first called
in the umpires.
IF any of those players start rid
ing in the same kind of 'dugOut Eng
lish' they used yesterday, throw the
man that does it out of the game and
I'll take his worlds series cut away
from him. If you cannot locate the
right player, then eject the manager"
Lands next called over Managers
Mccarthy and Mack. He repeated his
warning. Two minutes later the man
ayers held clubhouse meetings and in
formed the players the judge was on
the warpath.
The game started and all was ST.
lence. Finally Mickey Cochrane
dashed over near the Cubs dugout
and speared a foul fly. After making
the catch he turned and sneered at
McCarthy's men:
"Hel-lo-o, sweethearts," he rasped
cuttingly.
The New York Football Giants, with
Benny Friedman, former All-American,
as their star, will play five of their
seventeen professional games this sea-
son at night. Three night games will
be played at the Polo grounds, one at
Newark and one at Portsmouth.
Robert Maranville, Sparkplug of the
Braves, and who possesses possibly
more color than any other player in
the National league, recently accepted
a Boston sport writer's invitation to
dinner in a swanky eating place in
New York.
Impressed by the ritzy surround
dignifed front to table to which a
bowling headwaiter took himself and
host. Seated, he started on a good
story.
Pardon, Mr.. Maranville," a waiter
broke in, will you have a serviette"
The Rabbit looked up, then grinned.
Hell, no. boy! I amt had anything
to drink in more than a year now"
If the big league home-run hitters
do not slacken their pace, 1000 home
runs are due to be hit by both cir.
cults this year. They have been aver.
aging one and one-third home huns
per game all season.
There is a possibility that both big
league individual records for home
run hitting also will be broken, for the
pace settlers are now ahead of any
past schedule.
IF you think Able Booth is a pref.
ty fair football player, wait until you
see a lad named Crowley rOmping
around next fall for Yale" remarked
Ralph Irvine Sasse, Army's new head
football coach, as we were having a
midsummer gridiron pow-wow. "They
tell me Crowley will be another sen.
sation at New Haven"
Sasse thinks Harvard as well as
Yale will be among the strongest of
eastern football outfits this year, with
the prospect that the annual classic
between these two ancient rivals will
be one of the best of the campaign.
Army plays both the Crimson and
Blue, which happens to be why Ralph
Irvine Sasse is devoting some early
thought to the subject.
Baseball now is as popular sport
in Japan as it is in the United States.
Purdue won the Big Ten title last
fall, says Jimmy Phelan, because
Swedish exercises made the men fit
to stay in the game.

Lee Roy Mahaffey, who has made
good as a member of the pitching staff
of Connie Mack's world champion
Athletic nine this year. is lefthanded
in everything he does except pitching
and batting. He can hardly throw the
ball at all with his left hand.
