to cheer about.
This Police Firemen affair on Sep
TENDER 6 looms as real battle. For a
while the Sandlot soothsayers wouldn't
give the Smoke-eaters a tumble, but,
following that remarkable performance
by Pitcher Hull against the Tile Settlers,
1t appears that the hook land ladder
men have a twirler who spells trou-

have batting power, but were unable to
make hit or a run off Hull.
Ping Purdy, popular umpire, and
Steve Cochrane, manager of the Ma
ttonal Theater, were great buddies a
long, long time ago. Both Ping and
Steve were bat boys on the Washington
club and can tell you a lot about the
