r AVANA, Cuba, February IA.
- Back in October, 1890, a
/ young ball player came to
Havana with the first base
ball team, or one of the first, that
ever invaded this island. He
caught the full glory of the
Cuban sun 43 years ago and since
then he has missed a return trip
only one year.
I sat with him as he dipped back
into the past, before he ever starred
with the Baltimore Orioles or won 10
pennants for the New York Giants.
His name is John j. McGaw-a long,
long way from the kid of 1890, but
still in fine health and as keen about
base ball as he was on that first Cuban
trip.
We were talking about the greatest
ball players he had ever seen in these
43 years of service and inspection.
I'm rating ball players" McGaw said,
"they should be ranked by their posi-
tions-the greatest catcher, the greatest
pitcher, the greatest infielder and the
greatest outhelder.
For exemple, I always have named
Cristy MatheWson as the greatest
pitcher that ever lived and often have
been challenged with such stars as
Walter johnson and Cy Young. I still
stick by my decision. I'll tell you why.
"A great pitcher needs brains, cour-
age, speed, control, change of pace, a
variety of curves, coolness and a
knowledge of opposing batting weak
nesses. These are the main qualities
that make the great pitcher.
''Matty had them to greater degree
than any one else. He never quite had
the speed of johnson or Rusie, Grove
or Vance. But he wasn't far away. He
had blazing speed and he could hit a
dime. He never was ratified nor upset.
He had wonderful change of pace
and a curve ball variety which has
never been surpassed.
Matty's Early Greatness.
ssTTOO many were comparing Matty
i in his fading days with the
pick of the game. They had
forgotten the Matty of earlier years
when he beat the great Pittsburgh
team eight straight starts in one sea-
son-when he shut out the Athletics
three times in four games.
''They also forget that in addition
TO winning from 80 to 81 games year,
Matty also saved 10 or IL others by his
relief work. He was one star who
spent lot of his time in the bull pen
who was tireless from April to october.
'I know Walter Johnson was a great
pitcher. Always a grand fellow, he
came closer to being perfect machine
than any one I ever saw work. But
he lacked Matty's all-around variety,
his amazing equipment, and so have all
the others.
'You may remember the last game
OF the 1912 series, with the Giants
leading 2 to 1, Speaker up in the ninth,
two on and two out. With two strikes
called, what other pitcher would have
had the daring and the imagination to
feed Iris slow, looping ball?
Speaker was always a great money
player in a pinch but he was caught
off guard so far that he lifted high
foul, which should have been caught
easily, winning the game and series
then and there. We lost, but Matty
pitched winning ball in that last game.
"You must Judge great pitcher by
the class and the variety of his equip
ment. This is why I still name Christy
Mathewson as the greatest pitcher of
/ all time"

BLANKET CODES
RAPED BY MIRA
PROPONENT

by International News Service
. Administration has failed to
carry out the policy Of the NRA
aS framed by Congress, Repre-
sentative clyde Kelly R) Of
Pennsylvania, one Of the original
sponsors Of the recovery program,
declared today.
He called for abandonment Of
the blanket code devised by Hugh
8. Johnson, NRA chieftain, to
bring all business under the Blue
Eagle at one stroke, as the first
step in a return to the policy
intended by Congress.
Although he is q strong sup
porter of the NRA and declares
the fundamental principles will
be made permanent law, Kelly
asserted the method of admins
tration has invited unnecessary
opposition.
Proposals now being considered
% extend the blanket code, which
expires January /, were assailed
BY Kelly. The blanket code, he
said, was never intended by those
who drafted the recovery law or
by Congress. He said:
-. "The program is fundament-
ally sound and should be con-
tinued, but there have been
mistakes.
''The blanket code in the
beginning was o mistake. 1t
put new burdens upon the re-
tailers, wholesalers and small
establishments without provid-
ing for additional business,
which alone could justify such
IN increase.
'The blanket code should be
dropped now and the work Of
cOdifying industries followed to
conclusion"

Why Big Ben Is Faulty

How many people know that the note of Big Ben is faulty? This fa- nous bell cracked soon after 1t was placed in position, and was out of use for some years. Then it was partially turned around, so that the hammer strokes-it is struck by a hammer, in- stead of being swung. to produce Its note-shOuld fall on a different ex. panse of metal.
 The result is the note which we know-and which Britons all over the world have learned to love. Now, however, proposal has been made that the bell should be taken down and recast. so that it should get true" note instead of the one to which we have grown accustomed.
 The case for recasting is plausible enough, and this is just the sort of thing that officiadom. careless of sen- timent, very often does.
 Fortunately. to take down the bell would be an expensive business. and, as these are days of economy, 1t is probable that this will save the Big Ben we know.-London Mail.

Why Gibraltar Monkeys
 Are Given Special Care

Do you know that there is an Officer in Charge of Apes at Gibraltar, and that a grant of money for looking after these mischievous animals is included in the colony's official estimates every year?
 These apes. of which, since the ar rival of two babies the other day (there are ten now). are the last wild monkeys in Europe. But that isn't the only reason why they are preserved so carefully, or why it is a crime to in. jure or mOlest them, in spite of the damage they do.
 The animals are favored for a very special reason. There is legend, which says: "As long as the apes in- habit Gibraltar, Britain will keep pos session of the Rock"
 Now, the British authorities aren't superstitious-but they know that the legend is believed implicitly by the people of Gibraltar. So it is good policy that the apes should be pre- served.-Answers Magazine.

USES CABBAGE LEAVES
 TO RECOVER FINE GOLD

George Kettle, Denver min ing man, with the use of cab bage plants has devised what he believes to be a practical means of extracting light flour gold particles from gold-bear- ing waters.
 Great quantities of flour gold so finely ground that it floats upon water have been lost in the past for lack of a way to it from the water.
 Kettle puts number of split heads of cabbage into a drum and pumps the water into the drum. The gold is attracted by

Why Safes Resist Acetylene

Modern safes which are constructed to resist the oxy-acetylene cutting blow-pipe are made of ferrous alloys which. although they can be heated by the gas flame to their melting point, cannot be cut, like steel. by the ap- plication of stream of pure oxygen. It is essential that the walls and doors of such safes be of considerable thickness. The walls, roof and floor are lined with steel and flame resist ing alloy so that self-contained sare exists inside the concrete shell.

ALASKA NOTES

Charging an attempt at sab- otage, the police authorities of Juneau are seeking to discover the identity of miscreants who dynamited a 30-inch water main carrying water for the city fire mains and also to the mill of the Alaska-Juneau mine, a few days ago. The main was only partially de- stroyed. The mill was closed only a few hours. The dyna- hitting occurred at night and water from the main endan- gered some residences and bus mess houses in the lower part of the city before it could be shut off.

Why Bowie Knife So Called

The bowie knife Is named for Col. James Bowie, who introduced 1t In Texas. According to one account, Col onel Bowie had occasion to fight with a broken sword and found 1t so effec- tive that he equipped his men with long, dagger-shaped knives. They were, however. sharp on one edge only. Since knives quite similar in design were in use in Mexico 1t is probable that the idea was gained from them.

WHY=-=-= Cats Eyes Are So Easily Seen
 on a Dark Night
YE[E-.AX-

Have you ever wondered why 1t Is you can see the eyes of cat gleam- ing in the dark, while the eyes of hu. mans and certain other animals do not have this effect? The reason for this phenomenon. says Pathfinder Maga. zine, is that cats and other nocturnal animals are equipped with a special reflecting membrane in the back of the eye, which makes the eye more sensi. tive In semi darkness by focusing all the light possible upon the retina. It is this reflected light that we see when cat watches us in the dark. Human eyes lacking in pigment. and especially albinos. explains the Bet. ter Vision bureau, may also glisten in the dark, but the pigment of normal eyes will absorb the light.
 It was the eye of the cat that sug- gested the invention of the signs you see on the roads to warm autoists to stop. While these signs are not light ed, they reflect the light of any ap. preaching auto whose lamps are light ed. The signs are made up of a num- Der of glass or metallic plates which are set at such an angle that the light Is thrown back.
 These signs of course are much cheaper than signs which require the use of electric current.
