Robins Show
In the East, Boston fans will
get their first glimpse of the
colorful Brooklyn Robins, and the
New York Giants open their cam,
paign at Philadelphia.
Brooklyn and the Giants are
riding on the crest of winning
streak as the season opens. Brook
lyn showed a world of power in
chalking up two smashing vic
tories over the Yankees over the
weekend. while the Giants nicked
the White SoX twice.
The important feature of the
Giants two triumphS was that
they were scored through the
efforts of three rOOkeiS who will
make or break the club
Pitchers Berly and Schumacher
and Third Baseman Johnny
VergeZ.
The YankS two Setbacks bear
out the general conviction that
the club lacks the pitching
strength necessary to win the
pennant. The team is hitting the
ball as hard as ever out the
pitchers can't seem to get he
ball past opposing batters.

FIGURE MATS
FORSECOND
PLACE
By LES CONKLIN

NEW YORK, April l3.-Ine
Athletics by a head, Washington
by a length, and the Yankees by
a nose.
That is the way the 1881 Amer
ican League sweepstakes shapes
up three days before the opening
of the campaign. The writer be-
lieves the teams will finish as
follows :
l Philadelphia Detroit
2 Washington 6 Chicago
3 New York St. Louis
Cleveland 8 Boston
That is exactly the way they
finished last season, except that
the Browns wound up sixth and
Chicago seventh. The line Of de-
marcation between the first six
clubs was sharply drawn. The
Mackmen finished eight games in
front of Washington; the Sena-
tors led the Yanks by the same
margin; New York had five
game edge on Cleveland; and the
Indians were six games in front
of the Tigers, who in turn fin
iShed IL games ahead of St.
Louis.
The writer looks for a closer
race this year, but believes that
the AS championship machine is
still powerful enough to make it
three pennant in a row. The only
other three time winner in the
leagues history was the invincible
New York outfit of 1875, 1927
e 1928.
Mcdonald Is Surprise
Grove, Earnshaw, Simmons,
Cochrane and Foxx should pull
the AS through. EarnShaW has
not broken into the box scores
yet and may get off to a slow
start; Shores has not been so
hot this spring and old Jack
Quinn is gone; but to offset these
factors Connie Mack has uncov-
cred one of the greatest pitching
finds of the year in Hank Nc
Donald, 19-year-old rookie from
Portland.
Washington, whose pennant
drive was halted last year when
Heinie ManuSh was injured, has
the best balanced pitching
staff in the league and should
give the Athletics close battle.
The Griffmen are weak behind
the bat, however, and such
players as Sam Jones, Joe
Judge and Sam Rice are no
longer in their prime.
The Yanks, who batted .309 as
a team last season and scored
the amazing total of 1,062 runs
have it in them to dethrone the
champions. Joe Mccarthy, New
York's new pilot, is certain to get
the maximum results from his
material, but even MarSe Joe's
dynamic efforts and the slugging
of Ruth, Gehrig, Dickey, Lazzeri
ct al, may be offset by the buga
boo of poor pitching. Pipgras
will not be available until June
Pennock and Wells are old men in
a baseball sense, and Johnson
and Sherid are not certainties.
Cleveland is likely to get better
pitching from Hudlin, Brown

Moths Get to Work
Without Any Delay

Moths are busy in Summer. They
are busy in Winter. too. But Summer
or Winter they don't get in much work
on clothes or other articles that are ex-
posed to air and sun.
No matter how carefully the Winter
clothes may be put away, moths may
still do harm. For they may get into z
Spring suit that is hung away through
the hottest weeks, or a Spring coat.
hung in the back of the clothes closet
in mid-June to wait until early Septem-
Der makes them welcome again.
The best way TO take care of clothes
that are not in constant use is to put
them securely away in paper wrappings
or cedar cheStS-in any tight container.
But they must be cleaned first, so that
they will be entirely free of eggs or
moths. II you can, send them to be
cleaned at the dry cleaners. Or Al
least brush them and air them and
hang them for a few hours in the sun.
When these things are put away 1t Is
an extra safeguard to put some sort of
moth preventive in their storing place
with them.
If it isn't worth while or convenient
to put clothes away, then be sure to
hang them out in the room once q
week. where they will get plenty Of
light and air. Better still it is to hang
them outdoors for several hours one
day a week

House Must Look
And Feel Cool

The neighborhood reading club wa;
due to meet at 3 O'Clock at the house 81
one of its members on one of the
hottest days Of the Summer.
I'm not going to another one Of
these meetings this Summer" fumeo
one of the members as she got into a
fresh thin dress after her bath. I'm
going to ask the girls to vote that we
adjourn until September this after
noon"
All over the little town other men,
bers were thinking the same thing as
they tried to make themselves present
too hot to try to be sociable.
But at the end of the meeting the
club had planned to meet sfter the
customary two-week interval at another
members house.
And" said that member, Rosalie
Trent, to her husband that night, I'm
going to make the next meeting just
as big a success as this one. Our house
is Just as attractive end just as really
cool as Sarah's-every place was hot
this afternoon. But Sarah just made
us feel cool and I spent some pretty
good minutes finding out how she
did it."
Sarah's secrets, that Rosalie found
out about, are worth passing on to
other women.
The actual temperature Of the house
may be lowered to some extent, and the
apparent temperature may be much
more greatly lowered by a skillful
housewife.
Actual lowering can be accomplished
in several ways. One Is to have up
and-doWn as well as crosswiSe ventila-
ton. Heated air rises, naturally. If
there are open doors from cellar to at
tic. and windows open in the attic,
much heated air will rise through the
house and make its way out OF the attic
windows. TIE cellar windows should
in this case, also be open, so thet the
rising air will be fresh. An attic door
lett open At night does much to keep
the house cool, even though at night
the windows on the lower floor may be
of necessity closed-for the rising hot
air. pulled out of the bed room floor,
goes rushing out the attic windows. So,
instead Of being a layer Of hot immov-
able air on top of the house. the attic
becomes sort of fan to suck out the
hot air from the floors below.
Much can be done to cool off the air
of the house If the hose is played gen.
erously on roofs and walks outside.
