The late-season slump the Giants experienced last summer cost them the National league pennant and at the same time served to disprove that the time -honored baseball ad- age that the team leading on the Fourth of July will win the pen- pant. Perhaps the Giants case was the exception that proves the rule.
 One thing is certain, if the Gi- ants maintain anything like their present pace whole flock of brok- en adages won't keep them out of the fall classic. The New Workers aren't likely to suffer the same sort of a fadeout this season for they are undoubtedly stronger in reserve strength.

 The lad received severe cuts and bruises about the face and tenn pie. Fortunately his eyes and all main artries were uninjured and aside from possible scare no ser ious results are apprehended by the boys father.
 Mrs. Swift, the lads mother, re- mained all night at the bedside of Ross, Jr., who will remain in the hospital under observation by Dr. H. c. DeVighne, who stated that in fall of the nature suffered by the Swift child concussion of the brain sometimes results.

serves have been able to take up the slack so that no slowing up of the pace was noticeable. Mark Koe- mig isn't likely to get a great many votes when it comes time to pick the most valuable player in the National League, but in the humble role of a relief infielder he has done great work in keeping the Giants juggernaut rumbling along and promises to see that it contin- ues to do so.

 Prince Hal Ascends
 You can't speak of the Giants success this year without bringing up Hal Schumacher's name. He
The Daily Alaska empire., 1935-07-12

bids fair to retain the post of lead- ing pitcher on the Giants staff, an honor he won last season, for he already boasts Il victories, nine of them in succession. He might even go farther and take possession Of the National league pitching crown which Dizzy Dean wore last year. And why not? Hal can ring up 25 victories this season at the rate he is going. He won g games last year and his present gain should put him well over that mark.
 Schumacher is a jewel of consis- tency. It is uncanny how much alike all his games are. He simply overpowers his opponents for every ball he throws over the plate car ries everything he has to offer. His best pitch, an overland 'sinker,' is a wearing ball to throw, but Hal does not hesitate to throw it as often as the occasion demands.
 Hank Greenberg is cutting a wide swath in the American League with his big bat. He has driven in some 90 runs already-thats almost 25 more than his nearest competitor can boast of.
 Hank Studies His Job

lot to learn about the art of pound- ing a baseball around the lot.
 Perhaps his greatest difficulty twas to find batting stance that would best serve his purpose. He copied every leading batter and fin ally evolved a position at the plate that leaves him relaxed and at the same time set to apply all the pow CT he has toward meeting the ball squarely That accounts for the greater number of home runs he has been hitting this season.
 Just as his batting has improved so has his work around first base. There, too, Hank has devoted his spare moments toward improving his game. Greenberg will never be compared to the most graceful first baSemen the game has known but he is rapidly developing into one of the most efficient. And after all- efficiency is far more important than flashy form.

CINCE genius, whether creative or
interpretive, is very seldom found,
one cannot point to such exceptions
as Mozart and Schubert, to prove that
maturity of thought is possible even
in extreme youth. Some of the
wunderkinder have shown evidence
Of it, but Just how much of their fin
ished style is their own achievement
or the result of an expert mimicry of
an older mind has never been thor
oughly decided upon.
And when we find infinite under
standing in the works of young poets
like Shelley and Keats, when the older
heart responds to the profound truths
which these young hearts found, one
Is again faced with the inexplainable
and forced to take refuge in the term
genius"
Nor is maturity in an artist to be
known solely in the emotional side
of his art, but also in the technical.
No matter how proficient the mechan-
ical handling, there comes poise and
control with years of performing that
stamps an artist as having complete
control. The temperamental elan of
youth is always thrilling, but the care
fully directed temperament of a less
volatile period is infinitely more sat-
isfying. How to temper fiery tenn
perament to artistic standards is the
knowledge that comes with the years.
X X
TN A.recent review of Kreisler's per-
formance of the Brahms violin
concerto, Olin Downs, dean of New
York critics, wrote: "It reminded one
of the fact that principal value of
years and experience, with the great
artist, is that they serve to remove
all obstacles between him and the
composer"
How is 1t possible for a young
musician, whose life has known little
struggle except that connected with
his studies, whose emotions gladly
catch at the first experience pre-
sented, whose mind is still in the
minds had already savored and re-
jected, to meet on equal ground the
composer Of another generation, an
other country and another stage of
development.
The passing Of the years diminishes
the distance between the composer
and his interpreter, and a true artist
recognizes how his kinship to the
master grows as he himself grows
In the beginning there is a touch
of formality between the two, but as
the artists life shapes itself, perhaps
paralleling that of the master, they
become friends of the spirit Their
paths have converged so that they
walk as one.
And the wonder is that as a friend.
never does the master composer fail
his interpreter. Whatever mood is
needed to be shared. the composer
is there to draw the artist to its
sublimest contemplation. But only
in maturity. when the spirit has been
chastened, the mind broadened and
the heart softened, can this surprising
friendship be experienced.
