This question is one which cannot
be answered at random by any traf-

our freedom is in the Constitution,
which in turn is lying around some
Government building at Washington.
The trouble is that the Constitution
(at least, my copy Of the Constitu-
ton, which may be spurious) makes
no specific allowance for shorts. The
spirit of the document seems to be
that you may wear whatever you
please, provided you do not offend

Best Balanced Club.

@LEVELAND is the best balanced
ball club in the circuit, has
more in a championship way
than either OF the other keen con-
tenders for the pennant and should
show to greater advantage in world
series than the Tigers or the Yankees.
In support of their establishment
OF the Cleveland club as the finest in
the field, the ball players direct at
tention to Johnsons pitching stan.
"The greatest in the league" they
declare emphatically. "Other clubs
have two. sometimes three. especially
strong pitchers, but the Indians have
in Harder, Hidlebrand, Hudlin. Pear
son, Clint Brown and Lloyd Brown a
staff that is tough to beat all
through"
What about that Indians defense
that was regarded unsteady?
The ball players come back with
'Well, is it?" And they point out
that "Pytlak is a fine little fellow
back of the bat; Trosky. the rookie
certainly is as good AS Gehrig of
the Yankees, of Greenberg of the
Tigers around first base; the Indians
aren't weak with Hale and Knicker-
booker In the middle line and Kamm
still is one Of the greatest third base
men in the business"
They also note that Cleveland is in
q position to let Kamm idle at times,
that his aging legs might regain their
snap. But Kamm always is ready to
80 through an important series with
out relief" they remark.
AS to the outfield, the players insist
that "VoSmik and Averill will field
with any OF them" And they seem
satisfied that "either Rice or Holland
can take care of right field accept
ably"
