or at least a fighting contender
for the American League pen

able money refurbishing the
Boston ball park and buying
ball players.
Judging the Red Sox on paper, they
were figured to make it interesting for
the Washington and New York teams
and other contenders But things
went away and team boasting some
OF the outstanding names in base ball
is fioundering around in the dumps.
The failure of Bob Grove to show
something resembling his real form
and a spotty infield have hurt the
chances of the Red SoX.
Mr.. Yawkeys latest acquisitions are
Wesley Ferrell and Dick Porter. In
order to acquire this pair Tom gave
up Bob Weiland a southpaw of some
account, and Bob Seeds, a utility
player who can roam the outfleld and
also drag them down at first base,
and tidy bundle of cash.

FINDS TABLE TENNIS
BAT is NOTHING new
Type a Manufacturer Sought to
Patent Fashioned 80 Years
Ago by Longfellow.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.-A manufac-
turer of tennis tables, delving
through United States Patent
Office files, was surprised to find that
a table tennis bat he had contem-
plated making had been perfected 80
years ago by a man with the illus
trious name of LOngfellow-Henry

A second cousin of the poet. Long
fellow. while student at MaSSachu-

the first products of an inventive
mind that turned from rhyme and
meter to work with blue prints, slide
rules. lathes and motors.
Longfellow later became pioneer
airplane builder and racer but was
killed Is years ago in an auto acci-
dent Several early improvements in
airplane design were credited to him.
That the poets -namesake put
plenty Of effort into perfection OF his
bat is evidenced by the fact he used
more than 1000 words in describing
the simple implement. and explana-
tions contained in this description
indicated his complete familiarity with
the ViCiSSitudeS Of the game which

Collins is. The pair may work it out
together and humor Ferrell into a
contented frame of mind.
A team boasting pitchers like Fer

sweep through the league like a
prairie fire. That is, on the form
they displayed three years ago. To-
day it is a different story. Robust
arms do not fling the ball with the
speed and uneering accuracy of other

Is far from a runaway for any team.
There still is time for the Red Sox

siderably further before Boston fans
are presented with a pennant winner.
