Lost Ten More

BY quick, lightning and ap-
proximate calculating, I arrive
at the basic conclusion that
the four leading pitchers Of
the Giants have lost 10 more
games than the four cores
ponding twirlers of the Griffs,
if you follow me and a babe
could do that simple little
piece of arithmetic, only 1 get
paid to do it.
Despite the fact that the
Giant pitchers have had the
advantage of the deader ball
and don't let anybody tell you
there isn't a difference in the
National and American League
pellets-the Griff pitchers have
held down the harder hitters
in the American League, bat
ting the lively ball.
Now the whole pitching pic
ture isn't perfect unless I pre-
sent the performance of the
relief hurlers, which follows:

Is that about a stand-off, or
is it about a stand-off?
W3ll, there it is. Take it for
what it's worth.
I'm not going to bore you
with fielding statistics. If
you've been reading your daily
baseball, you've got to admit
the Griffmen a superior field
ing outfit and that's that.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 30- Seven reels of motion pictures about Alaska, depicting his explorations on the Alaska Peninsula, were shown to small group of Alaskans and others at the Mayflower hotel this week by the Rev Bernard R. Hub bard, S. J., the Glacier Priest. ,. Father Hubbard's party was shown climbing Shishaldin, and flying to the crater of Aniakehak.
 Father Hubbard has now returned from Washington to New York City, where he is engaged in cutting and editing 250,000 feet of film exposed on his latest expedition. The picture is to be released through one of the big companies. A member of the party remained on the peninsula to take movies of brown bears. Father Hubbard plans to return to Alaska in May.

The following article appeared this morning in the Washington Herald:
 A Federal "grubstake" to put un- employed men to work mining gold in placer fields was urged by Pres ident William Green of the Ameri- the proposal to be thoroughly sound" and calling upon President Roosevelt to adopt it, Green said:
 A President who has shown his scorn of wornout customs should lind this proposal interesting and alIuring. I hope he finds it worth a broad-scale trial" Declaring there IS still plenty of gold in the hills or well-defined placer regions, Green added:
 "Prospectors will find it, pan it, CT dig it, and turn it into the chan nels of commerce, to back up credit to many times it's value, to feed those who mine it and to relieve communities or unemployed workers. Newly fledged placer miners, bar ring some lucky strike, will not get rich, but they will gain a wealth of renewed faith in themselves and their country"

An effort is being made on the part of some of the salmon packers to have the salmon industry includ- ed in the National Gamers Associa- tion code, thus doing away with the necessity for a separate code. The smaller packers are represented as being opposed to any such move for the reason that they feel the National Gamers Association would have no particular interest in sal- mon and such an attitude would react adversely upon the salmon packers.
 Still others believe the industry can operate under the master code alone. Another group is holding out for a specific code for salmon. Among the representative of the industry in Washington the past week were: H. B. Friele, vice pres ident and general manager of the Nakat Packing Corporation and also president of the Association of Pa cific Fisheries.

wanted on the telephone. A can
comes and you answer. It is
for a guest who is sitting right
there at your elbow, but who
gives you a frantic pantomime
indicating that he doesn't want
to talk. So, for some unknown
and perverse reason, instead OF
saying, mo, he isn't here!" you
say: We'll, he WAS here just
minute ago. Wait just a second
until I see if I can catch him
at the elevator!"
Now comes the problem. How
long should it take to get to the
elevator and back? You may
either go through the actual
vancouver of rushing out to the
elevator and coming painting
back all out of breath to say: Il
just missed him." or you can sit
still in your chair and count to
500 by fives. But is this the
right timing for going out to
the elevator and back? There
ought to be something in the
telephone book, a schedule or
something, telling just how long
to allow for going to an elevator
or a front door, or even out onto
the sidewalk. That would be
service, and, as I understand it.
service is all that the telephone
company is in business for.

But these are more or less
nervous reactions which have
nothing to do with the emer-

do something to fill in time.
For example, somebody calls

you do say.
Now you have no pad, and
anyone who knows you KNOWS
that you have no pad. You
