P.DEAN,C. DAVIS
BEST YOUNG
HUREERS

Better get out the old future
book right now and put down the
names Of Curtis Davis and Pau
Dean for future reference. For
there are a couple Of young men
to tie to-young chaps who prom
ise big things in a baseball way.
Most baseball men agree that
they're the outstanding rookie
pitchers of the year, and the rec
ords seem to bear out the opin-
ion. -
Both Are Big
Both players are big chaps,
hardy, enthusiastic and capable
of lots Of work. OF the two. de.
spite the difference in record, Da-
Wis is commonly regarded as the
better. "Put that fellow with my
bali club and he'd win me IS
games sure" Bill Terry declared
the other day, and Bill is not q
man given to idle chatter.
AS individuals, they are com.
plete opposites. Davis is quiet, re-
served, almost taciturn. Dean. like
his older brother, is garrulous and
completely confident of his own
ability. Dean came into the league
amid the blare of bugles and the
fanfare Of publicity.
Davis Unheralded
Davis was unheralded and un-
sung-just another rookie, report
ing to q Philly club that was
hopeful rather than confident.
Dean was lucky enough to land
with a pennant contender. Davis
had to cast his lot with a near
tail-ender.
But-put 'em on that mound
and they're both capable. Yes, sir,
you can mark those two down.
They're comerS.

"The greatest doubles finals

"The greatest doubles finals
the District tennis tournament
has ever SEEN"
Such was the observation of
many spectators at yesterdays
match between the No. / seeded
team Of Tony Latona and Axel
Craven, and the No. 2 team Of
Barney Welsh and Bud Markey,
which the latter won In q stirring
three-set match. .6-S, 8-6, 81.
Although the first set proved no
great surprise. things began hap
pening from then on which
caused the fans to sit tense as
they watched their favorites.
FOur.LOve Start
Things looked bad for the new
champions when Latona and
Craven got off to q four.love
start which they ran up to 5-2 q
short time later. Welsh and
Markey saw their opponents send
the score up to 6-5 and then
they put on a burst Of speed which
gave them the next three games
and the set, &-6.
The third set, however, looked
as though Craven and Latona
City Of Washington title winners,
were not to be denied.
Gain 80 Lead
They started off as though
they would win the set in short
order, running up q 80 lead
which they increased to Fl.
Brilliant playing by Welsh and
Markey and errors by the other
pair soon changed the complexion
Of things when the two tall slim
boys began hitting them where
they weren't, evening the set at
SIS.
The turning point came in tho
fourteenth game when Welsh'1
cannon-ball serves began finding
their targets, giving him a love
game. With the next two games
came the set and match.

SUCCESS

Five years ago ''Pie" Traynor, OF
the Pirates, could have been man
ager Of the Cincinnati Reds. Sid
ney We'll, then owner Of that teams
offered him the job, but the Pi.
rate third baSeman turned down
the offer. Traynor said he wanted
to devote all his energy to playing
third base for Pittsburgh and to
let someone else bear the burden
Of managing the Reds. The sue"
cess Bill Terry had last season In
winning the pennant and the
world series evidently has caused
Traynor to change his mind.
AS manager, Traynor knows
what his prospects are. The Pi-
rates are weak on the mound, and
the outfield that on paper should
be a sensation is D disappoint-
ment. Otherwise the team Is not
So far out Of the race that a burst
Of sound pitching and lusty hit
ting would not put it at the top.
Star bali players do not always
make firstclass managers, but
Terry and FriSch have proved that
they can get o lot Of work out Of
their players. FriSch has the
Cards in the fight this year, and
Terry feels confident that he will
be able to push the Giants through
for another pennant. Traynor. as

as do Terry and Frisch.

Prompt application Of artificial
respiration through resuscitation
methods have saved many lives.
In q recent article we discussed
the schaefer prone pressure
method which is in general use in
all hospitals, first aid, and life say.
ing organizations. The first man
ual method for administering arti-
ficial respiration is known as the
Sylvester method. This method
can be used advantageouSly where
the Schaefer method would not be
practical In the case where the
patient has an injured back, or
broken ribs.
Put Patient ON Back
To employ the Sylvester method,
place the patient on his back,
open the mouth and pull out the
tongue so as not to obStruct the
wind pipe for the passage Of air
into the lungs. Have an assistant
hold the patients tongue, catch
both arms at the wrists, draw the
arms outward and upward slowly,
and steadily, and hold them as
far as they will 60 above the head.
This operation requires about
two seconds. This motion opens
and expands the chest to the
greatest possible extent. Certain
muscles are attached to both the
arms and ribs. When the arms
are raised, these muscles expand
the chest. Then bring the arms
down crossed till the elbows press
on the chest. This movement also
requires about fifteen times per
minute.
Artificial respiration should con-
tinue without interruption until
the patient breatheS naturally, If
need be for four or five hours, or
until a doctor declares the patient
dead. While you are giving arti-
ficial respiration, have an assist.

"StOefen has the ability to

Frank Shields for that reason"
Perry is not unbeatable, in
Bltsy'S opinion. He said:

he had q lot Of trouble beat

Grant, at the age Of %, prob

At this point, Don Bulge, a

The place for complaints against
any alleged criminal condition. it was
pointed out, is with the Police De-

transferred through series of

service cannot be obtained from the
Police Department, citizens should

members said.
