PILOT NAMES
RUSSELL ON
FRIDAY
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent


CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-San Fran.
cisco Joseph is his name and he
happens to be the manager Of
the Washington baseball club.
You may know him better as
Joe Cronin, for in realty he is Joe
Cronin, manager of the 1888 Griff.
men, but, my oh my, he is no diff
ferent from other big league lead
ers in one particular respect.
And that respect, characteristic
or what-have-you is his quick but
Well-founded occupation of chang
ing his mind.
Yep, Joe can change his mind
and change it with the best of
'em. This time it involves his
pitching selections for the current
Chicago White Sox series which
ends Friday.
A day or so ago, San Francisco
Joe (Joe Cronin, regular guy to
you announced his intentions of
using Gen. Alvin Crowder, Earl
Whitehill, Monte Weaver and
Lefty Walter Stewart in the
scheduled set of four games due
with the Chicago White Sox.
He followed out this order to
the letter by beginning with Crow
der in yesterdays opener of the
series, and verifying his intentions
of using Earl Whitehill in today's
contest and Monte Weaver in to-
morroW's.
Russell TwirIs
But now comes the changes.
Jack Russell and not Lefty Walter
Stewart will hurl Fridays get
away game against the same
White Sox.
The reasons are very logical
when one will wade into Cronin'S
thinking hat and snatch out the
answers. Here's what he had to
say on the subject today:
"UnleSs / change my mind
again and revert to my original
plans, I'm going to pick on Jack
Russell for that finale with the
SOx because I believe Walter
Stewart needs another day of
rest before starting again. He's
been pitching under trying cir
cumstanceS lately, what with
starting against the YankS his
last three times out, and l figure
another days rest won't do him
any harm, particularly with a
guy like Russell hanging around
ready to pitch possible triumph
if only given a chance. There
fore a rest Stewart will get, an
assignment Russell will jump at
and benefits all around for the
team. Is it clear?"
According to this Stewart will
open against the st. Louis Browns
Saturday when the Griffs will
have gotten there by then.
Five Days Rest
And counting the time in be-
tween he will have had five
days rest-enough even for
hurler like Herb Pennock, o. the
Yanks, who must have six days
inactiveness following a tough
assignment on the mound.
The Griffs, incidentally, will
be in st. Louis only two days,
as Mondays regular scheduled
game will be played as part of
the double-header on tap Sun
day. This will enable the Griffs
to have all day Monday on their
hands in Detroit as a most well
coined off-day before facing the
Tigers in a twin bill at Detroig
the following afternoon.
Maybe Joe will have some more
surprises for us then. Maybe,
we said.

PRESIDENTS WHO HAVE CHANGED
 THEIR NAMES.

Calvin Coolidge was one of several Presidents who changed their names from those that were given them by their parents and under which they were christened His in baby and childhood was John Calvin Coolidge. When yet young man he dropped the John and became Calvin Coolidge His parents and everybody else used the name Calvin when speaking to him or of him and in school he wrote it that way.
 Similarly Grover Cleveland was Stephen Grover Cleveland when he christened The Stephen was not used, however, and when young man he dropped it. Likewise Thomas Woodrow Wilson be- came Woodrow Wilson young man. On ac- count of exercising the recognized privileges of one with his name, the three former Presidents are known and will continue to be known in history as Grover Cleveland Woodrow Wilson and Calvin Coolidge
 Ulysses Simpson Grant was christened Hiram Ulysses His mothers family name was Simpson. When President Van Buren appointed him to the West Point Military Academy, he wrote his name Ulysses Simpson Grant. The Congressman who nominated him to the President for appointment knew him as Ulysses Grant the name he was known by at home. He knew that there was another name but he had forgotten what it was. He remembered, however that the boys mothers Simp- son so he took chance and made it Ulysses Simpson Grant The so enrolled at West Point and adopted without further ado, and so it became in the army and throughout his life.
 Herbert Hoover was Herbert Clark Hoover until about the time he entered public life. Sometimes it is so used even yet. though beginning with his tenure Secretary of Commerce and while Presi- dent he has written it simply Herbert Hoover.
 It will probably be generally admitted that all five of the Presidents who changed their names improved them That is certainly true of those who made the changes of their own volition Wilson, Coolidge and Hoover not only simplifed their names but they paid tribute to euphony by establishing aliterations And any can understand without second thought why simple and direct Grover Cleve- land would not wish to carry the surpusage Stephen about him through life

Keep It Alive.
(Ketchikan Chronicle.)

(Ketchikan Chronicle)
 At the risk of seeming to harp unduly one subject we are going to again make brief men tion of the International Highway project It seems to be pretty generally agreed that gov- ernmental action may be expected for time to come due to financial conditions in the United States British Columbia and Yukon Territory. This project so dear to the heart of northerners, had a fair impetus and coasting along quite nicely when the bottom dropped out of business and whether we do or do not lose the advantage of that impetus depends upon ourselves. There are numerous ways of keeping the project in the public eye pending the arrival of better times and such movements should have their inception in Alaska.
 In the recent annual report issued by Governor Parks, in which that official painted a rather gloomy picture of the Territory there appeared not single word about the highway project. In fact his last three reports do not give this project grand total of than half dozen lines. Can it be possible that Governor Parks does not favor the idea? We should like to the Territorial Chamber appoint live committee with no other job than to keep alive the idea of this highway in cooperation with the outside agencies whose assistance might be secured
