4 Alan Strange never may be-
I come a regular major league
shortstop-and thereby fur
nish one Of base balls little tragedies
but the blond kid from California
Is some shucks of a "ill-in" infielder.
This Is a fact which the Nationals
discovered to complete satisfaction yes
terday as Alan played for Red Kress,
whose bad ankle still is giving him
little trouble. BY sheer defensive play
alone the stocky former Brown kept
Ed Linke in yesterdays game with the
White Sox, handling seven chences
ranging from difficult to impossible"
In the first five innings. Twice he
broke up potential Sox rallies.
After making two nifty plays earlier
In the game on Jocko Conlon and Tony
Pet on slow bounding balls. and then
starting a double play in the fourth
frame to nip a budding rally, Alan
warmed to his job in the fifth with
one of the snappiest stops made by a
Washington infelder all season.
Weak With Willow.
CONLAN had walked to open the
~ fifth, and then Luke Sewell smote
what seemed to a a sure single past
Cecil Travis. Strange never seemed
close to the ball until at the last split
second, when he stuck down his gloved
hand on the dead run, came up with
the ball cleanly and whipped an off,
balance throw to Buddy Myer for a
forceout. The play took all the sting
out Of the Sox in that inning
If only he could hit, Strange well
might be just the boy that Bucky
Harris needs to complete his infleld.

For answer the dog wagged his tall.

Fetching from the pantry a steel
fork, she inserted the prongs In the
crack and pried the offending brick
out OF Its hole.
Instantly the dog snatched from the

Sylvia chased after him.

The setter came fawning to her
side and unwIllingly dropped his prize
at her feet.
As 1t fell to the ground, out rolled
such glory OF jewels the girl could
scarcely believe her eyes.
There was string OF diamonds
dazzling as giant dewdrops: q pearl
and sapphire pendant, several beautt-
full rings; and an oval brooch, Its
emerald center surrounded by tier

impulse. Marcia might return and sur
prise her ut any moment. Before that
the treasure must be returned to the
place from which 1t had been taken.
Gathering the rainbow heap together
she reluctantly thrust 1t into Its blue
leather case, snapped the catch, and
placed 1t once more under the brick.
Then with relief she stood up and
wiped the persplration from her fore

Spring Tooth Implement
Kills Out Quack Grass

A new way to rout that old pest
quack grass is by the use OF the
field tiller. an implement equipped
with spring teeth. The method In
80, per cent effective. With this I'm
plement, tillage Is started In mid
summer. just as soon as quack grass
hay or small grain Is removed from
the field. The quack roots are none
too vigorous then.
Without previous cultivation, the
tiller Is taken over the field, teeth
set to dig about an inch or two
deep. In few days, when the field
starts to get green. the tiller goes
over 1t again, this time crosswlse
and with teeth set an inch or so
deeper. This procedure Is contin-
-ued until freezing weather arrives.
by which time the ground will have
been stirred six inches deep or
more. Freezing Will destroy most
OF the roots that haven't been killed
by that time.
Then In spring go over the ground
once or twice more and II Is ready
for planting. Remember, though.
Each time over, 20 a different d.
rectlon. and 20 a little deeper

1t has been considered for many
years. Always 1t has been rejected,
after study by engineers Always the
reason has been the same. 1t Is en-
tirely practical as an engineering
project-indeed 1t presents few real
difficulties from that angle II this con-

this. The experts had no doubt about
1t whatever.

That is one OF the reasons the recent
poll of Republican local leaders by Rob
ert III. Lucas was so interesting. APP
parenfly these local leaders thought
Borah would make very strong candl-
date In their communities, whether
they personally would prefer another
type or not.
AS to his age, Borah Is In marvellous
condition considering his 70 years.
Friends are fond of saying he has all
the Mormon virtues. BY which they
mean he uses no tea. coffee. tobacco or
alcohol He Is a sparlng eater. and
has kept mp his horseback riding even
In Washington. He insists on his
beauty sleep every night. cares nothing
about society, never subjects himself
to any undue strains. For example,
even when he was tremendously inter
ested In fillbusters, he never made the
long. grueling time killing speeches for
which some other senators are famous.
All his life he has been lone wolf
In politics. In the senhte he has never
been cog In the machine He would
never be regular
The strength of Colonel Knox, as
shown in various polls, Is simply revo-
lutlonary from political standpoint.
One has to re back to Horace Greedy
for a precedent, and even that Is not
good one.
