There is about orderliness so funda-
mental an element OF necessity to sue
cess that courage is an appropriate word
to apply to 1t. No house can be sue
cessfully kept home unless order is pres
ent. The homemaker has to ind places
for every single thing in 1t before order
can prevail. 1t is easy enough to know
just where some of the things should be
kept. But there are literally scores of
articles that tax ones ingenuity to find
Just the correct spot into which they ut
so that they will be convenient and
where they will be decoratively posi-
toned or entirely concealed, as the case
may be.
To have a place for everything and
everything in place takes the kind of
courage that a successful homemaker
must have. There Is no faintest sug-
gestion Of grimneSs about it. Pluck is
not grim; it is pleasant. So is courage,
and 1t Is the courage which is a COM
bination Of pluck and pleasantness that
Is required to train q family to put
things away as a matter of course with
out prodding, but as part of everyday
living and care of things inanimate.
Orderliness is more than a mere matter
of things. It belongs to the spirit of
success, one element Of which is courage.

BIT LOIS LEEDS.

How TO avoid thick ankles and how
to reduce those which are already in
that condition worries many of my
readers. While 1t is quite true that a
bulky, heavy ankle viii detract greatly
from the beauty Of ones figure. am
afraid that some Of my younger readers
cherish the illusion that an ankle is
beautiful 1t Is thin. This is most
certainly not the case. A thin, b0ny
ankle is no more attractive than the
one which is too bulky. In the case of
the too thin ankle 1t Is usually neces-
sary to put on a little more weight
over the entire body.
But today we are concerned with re-
ducing the bulky ankle. One of the best
ways to accomplish this is through kick
ing exercises. These must be practiced

days humiliation. rounds out
rather an odd circumstance in
connection with presidential as
sociation with Philadelphias
efforts.
However, not even Democrat
could blame Mr.. Hoover for the
haywire that seemed scattered
all over the place during the
seventh inning when the Grlft-
men, by some very balmy de-
fensive work, let the game slip
between their fingers.
No sir, Mr.. Hoover had moth
ing to do with that. The sit
uation involved elemental base,
ball. and despite what many of
the fans thought at the mo-
ment, Joe Kuhef was not TO

Many thought Kuhel should

Hoover and Ritchie

Yesterdays game took on
something beside a baseoall
flavor, the presence of PreSl-
dent Hoover in the same arena
with the Democratic governor
of Maryland. Albert Ritchle'
adding greatly to a very tascl-
mating struggle.
The diplomatic Eddie Eynon
seated the political adversarleS
as they should have been. the
President occupying his custo-
mary box. which is normally
the personal reservation OF
owner Clark Griffith, and Gov
ernor Ritchie's party being &C
commodated across the stands
near the Athletics dugout.
The State of Maryland being
such unch Philadelphia
boosters, Governor Ritchie's To-
cation seemed proper to us,
even were he not of an oppo-
site political faith than the
President. However. perhaps
we'd better leave such a dis
cussion to Theodore Tiller, our
political observer.
We we're impressed with the
sprightliness of Connie Mack,
who crossed from the AS dug
out during the seventh inning
to be presented to the Presi-
dent by Clark Griffith. For
man 81 years of ago, Mr., Mack
has the stride of a college grad
uate walking across the stage
to receive his diploma. Not
even the venerable James Cor
bett, also in his sixties. seems
to be a better preserved or
more erect figure than Connie
Mack.
Al Schacht, ever equal to an
occasion, pulled typical
Schacht gesture when he de-
toured Connie Mack on his way
back to the AS bench, to in
troduce him to Governor Rit-
chic. whom Schacht introduced
as the next President of the
United States, but there we go,
infringing on Tiller again.

Washington has not been the

Macks. the Chicago Cubs and
the st. Louis Cardinals falling
victims to it in world series

fore them-which is not very

Connie pulled another of his
famous strategic moves yesterday
when he told George Earnshaw
to go in there and pitch his
head off with only a days rest.
Earnshaw answered his man
ager by cheerfully Strolling to
the mound and defeating the
Griffmen hands down. This vic,
tory was quite a feather in the
caps of both Connie and Earn.

to give Lefty Grove, his star left
handler one more days rest, and
secondly because arnsh W

of defeating the Griffmen at
least once this year, something
he has not been able to do in any
start he has made against them
Quite A Gamble
Connie and Earnshaw took
quite a chance at that.
It's a real gamble stalking a
pitchers strength for a victory
But when EarnShaw gave Connie
the nod that he was all right
that his arm would stand the
strain, there was nothing left but
the risk and Connie and. George
won.
Fighting like thi; is nothing
new in Comics way of doing
things, if his long record as a
manager is reviewed for a
moment. He has done this
identical thing time after time
and has most always been the
winner.
The fortunate thing about
EarnShaw is the fact that he is so
powerful and able to pitch in
these pinches without hurting
himself. At that he can do it only
as long as his trusty old right
arm holds out. But he and Con
ME are willing to gamble, and
why not if it will win pennants?

Slight Mental Lapse

In our meager opinion Roy
Spencer suffered a slight mental
lapse, disease that infre-
uuently overtakes Roy, in throw
the ball to Bluege to run down
Bishop. while Haas was occu-
pying third.
In such a case it is basic
baseball for the catcher or
other player working with third
base, to hold the ball and make
q walk-up putout, particularly
with the man who was at bat
racing for second rather than
risk the hazard of tossing the
ball. One put-out is always

BY GARRETT WATERS

The fate OF the GflfTmen IN
this years pennant scramble is in
the hands of nobody else but
their own at this stage.
They must snap out of the
slump lowering about them at
once, if they are to be given one
iota of chance to catch the AS
and finally pass them for the
old gonfalon.
That 7-to-3 licking handed them
yesterday by the gray horde is
symbolic of what they will have
to do from now on to keep in
the midst of things at all.
Five and one-haf games in the
rear behind the leaders is not
entirely out of it. But the team
must start winning consistently
and Immediately or those peSky
AS will have a grand time dur
ing the remainder of the sched-
ule.
No Help Elsewhere
It's a cinch the other clubs in
the race are not going to be OF
great help to Manager JohnSon's
men. The AS will not win all OF
their games, but they are going to
win the majority of them.
The only chance the Griff-
men have in the future is to win
when Connie Mack's men are
losing, and that means win
every time Comics boys lose,
or else give up the ship.
The third and final game of
this current series is on today.
Upon the sturdy shoulders Of
Lloyd Lefty Brown will rest the
burden of cutting down the AS
lead to four and one-half games
by sundown. Lefty Grove. the
mighty. who was supposed to have
hurled yesterday. will face Brown.

But something snapped in that
frame, and after it was all over
the AS had the game in the bag

mates pounced upon Carl Fischa"

next two for the AS. Cochrane
hit sharply to Kuhel, who tossed
to Ossie, trapping Bishop off

hit Max on the back and by the
time the ball was recovered, both

Two golfers, many years short

Members Last Year
Burrows and Burton we're men,

team last year.
Connolly took part in his

when but IL years of age and.
his driver was half an inch

Will, son of Rudy Will, green's

Club, graduated last month from

Connolly forsook his studies at
Central High but plans to renew
them.

Burrows was exempt from
qualifying because he had reached
the third round in the national
championship at Jacksonville, Fla.
Burton. scoring 70, three under
par, for the afternoon round of
18 yesterday over the East Po-

ist honors with 232. He needed
this outburst of golf. for he
seemed hopelessly out of it after
taking 83 for his morning round.
Connolly, who finished with
2SS, jumped into the lead by
covering the course in 73, even
par, in the morning. He stag
gered home with a 79 for his
final 18.
Will. who also tailed 233, was
