POOR PITCHING POWER MAKES AMERICAN LEAGUE
 BALL APPEAR LTVELIER

deeper when the bases are unoc- cupied, Joe Cronin, manager of the Red Sox, explains that if they played back on the edge of the grass, sharply smacked grounders would curve away from them, and more often than not they would be unable to field the swerving ball.
 Iris Speaker, daddy of all out- fielders at going back for a ball, cannot understand either the cur- rent American League shortstop- ming or outfielding theory.
 OutfleIders Roam
 Too Deep-Speaker
 If 1t is true that the ball Is faster, why should the shortstop play closer in?" asks Spoke. "On my club, he'd play farther back and have more time to get the ball.
 American League outfielders have roamed too deep for years. The percentage is in favor of the ball being in front of them. Yet they seldom catch . ball in front VA eAACAAA AAVWpAeSyos
 "The number of base hits that fall between infielders and out fielders is sickening. Several droop- ing liners or Texas Leaguers drop in front of an outf1elder for every three-base hit he cuts of by lay ing back against the boards. The place for him is from 20 to 40 feet closer in except when an extra base hit will do e lot of damage.
 "What good is he propped up against the wall? When ball is hit that far 1t usually bounces off the fence anyway.
 "The ball travels faster than 1t did In my day, for which reason I don't say that I could play in as close now as l once did, but I'd play in 6 lot closer than tho outhelders of today.
 Nearly all outfielders can 90 back, and fungo hitting practice would teach those who can't"
 It is too bad that motion pic- lures of Tristram Speaker in acc ton were not preserved. They would open their eyes of the cur- rent crop.

 New York, July 16--( (U. F. )--p pitiflil efforts of the St. Louis Cardinal management to bolster its faltering pitching staff left the baseball world wondering today just what had fap- pened to the Cards superior farm system, supposed to keep the club Do well suplied with young talent, &
 Acquisition of Big George EArEi- shaw from the Brooklyn Dodgers amply revealed the desperation Of Branch Hickey and Sam Breadon due to the injuries of the Dean Brothers. Without Dig and Daf in the lineup, Cardinal pitching strength is nil.
 Earnshaw follows temperafiental Flint Rhem into the Red Bird fold after the disappointing failure Of three youngsters, Heusser, WinfoFd and Munns, to come up to expecte- tions.
 Heusser lost another for the Card- inals yesterday to the lowly Phila- delphia Phillies s to 1. The loSg dropped the Cards full game be- hind the leading Chicago Cubs who shutout the Boston Bees, { to o. Ken O'Dea's home run was the winning tally.

New York. July 16--Baseballs used in the two major leagues are iden- tical, despite arguments still being advanced that the American League apple is livelier.
 Sunny Jim Bottomley, in the American this season after IA years in the National, Is the latest to express the belief that there is more jackrabbit in the junior loon pellet.
 T got this when stuck my hand in front of a line drive" says the veteran first baseman of the St. Louis Browns, displaying @ throw ing hand wrapped in bandage.
 Bottomley fails to take American League pitching and power into consideration. Bill Dickey. the Yankee catcher, is right when he asserts that poor pitching is main- ly to blame for the heavier hitting and preponderance of home runs inthe Harridge wheel. Scores and pitching records support his con- tention.
 National League pitching excel. ling that of the American In the all-Star game was not aa accident The older circuit is much better fixed in skillful handcuff kings.
 Strong-armed sons of the Amer. ican might experience @ little more difflculty in the National, but 1t is not hard to imagine Lou Gehrig Jimmy Foxx, Earl Averill, Hal Tros- ky, Dickey, Charley Gehringer, Joe DiMaggio, Goose Goslin, Bob John- son, Al Simmons, and zeke Bonura as Q group outslugging one com posed of the pick of the elder leagues distance hitters.

 Difference In Play,
 But Not In Baseball
 Getting back to the ball, all are made in the same Philadelphia factory. The only difference is the color of thes titching and the let tering. The same condition existed some years back when the powers decided to change the speed of the ball as c means of creating sym thetic Babe Ruths. The pill wal made more resilient for all hands
 The doubting Thomases point tc the fact that American League out fielders play closer to the fences than do National League fly chas. CTS.
 They speak of American League shortstops playing closer to tho plate than do those in the parent organization.

infants.
In the Summer you hardly notice
the green cone-shaped clusters of the
maturing fruit. Toward Autumn, be-
fore the sumac's leaves have turned,
the fruit has taken on the lovely
shades Of crimson that deepens by
Fall.
In Winter the bright, upright cones
of scarlet attract your attention at
once. The gray bark of the twigs
and branches blends with the color
beautifully. The berries have a very
spicy tang, and you do not wonder
that the birds enjoy them so. Each
little nutlet Is covered with this de-
lectable jacket. The seed Is dropped
by the bird many miles away from
the mother tree, and thus the sumacs
are distributed.
In barren spots and where ugly
buildings or unsightly places cannot
be changed a group of sumac would
make the place look different, and
this member Is considered the best
for decorative planting. 1t is claimed
that the unripe fruit in Summer
makes very delicious. cooling drink.
This sumac has sent her children
places. for the species can be found
everywhere East of the Rocky Noun
tains, and even as far as British Co.
umbia and Arizona. Try trans
planting some of the youngsters, or
plant some seeds, so that your bird
friends will find food some Winters
day.

Natures Children
Smooth Sumac-
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

n Tot so very long. ago you met
M the poison sumac, member
" of the family to avoid. Here
4 Is one of the friendly members
often seen in the same locations as
the handsome staghorn.
The sumacs are small trees or
shrubs, with very lovely foliage In the
Spring, Surnmer and Autumn. In
the early part of the year, the tiny
leaves are folded very close together,
unfurling with every bit OF encourage
ment the sun has to offer. At this
time, they are a soft, tender green.
Later they have more depth in their
greens, and late in the Autumn they
are a glorious riot of color.
One thing about sumacs Is that
they choose unsightly places to glorify.
Have YOU ever noticed how faith
fully they work to cover ugly banks,
and the poor soil they have to use?
Yet they manage to get the best out
of the soil, and produce spicy, red
coated children, to attract the at.

Since there are only five members
in this group, it is not dificult to
identify them. There are two species
that are poisonous-poison ivy and
poison sumac. The former has three
leaves, and there are some that have
toothless leaves or those with few
teeth. The leaf of the poison sumac
is not winged between leaflets. The
shining member has leaves winged
between the leaflets, the staghorn has
brown twigs that are hairy. and the
leaf is toothed. This one always has
smooth, whitish twigs.
All sumacs have tiny greenish White
flowers that hang in clusters. Some
of the clusters are compact, others
loose. There are many cruising in
sects to be found slipping the nectar
and packing their pollen baskets with
the golden dust which they desire

ETER RABBIT and Bob White
are old friends. Yes, sir, they
are old friends. Ever since ne
4 was a very little fellow Peter
had known Bob White and been very
fond of him. You see. they had always
been neighbors. While Peter lived in
the Dear Old Briar Patch he had
always spent much time in running
about over the Green Meadows and
up in the Old Pasture, and somewhere,
sooner or later, he was sure to encoun-
ter Bob White.
Early this bright October morning
Peter had started for home, after
having spent the night over in the
Green Forest. He was hurrying along,
lipperty- y-Ipperty-lip, in order to get
to the Dear Old Briar Patch before
Jolly, round, bright Mr.. Sun should
get much higher in the blue, blue
sky. Peter doesn't like to be out in
the open in broad daylight. You see,
he knows that sharp eyes, such as
those of the Hawk family, are always
watching, and that they can see for a
very long distance.
Lipperty-lipperty-lip ran Peter, and
suddenly stopped with little gasp,
followed by long jump to one side.
Something had exploded right in his
face. At least this is the way it had
seemed. What really had happened
was that Bob White had taken to his
wings, those stout, whirring wings,
right under Peters very nose. He had
scared Peter, but Peter had scared
him. So it was a mutual scare.
Almost as soon as he was in the
air Bob White had realized that 1t
was only Peter Rabbit who had so
nearly stepped on him. and Of course
in a minute Peter had realized that
it was Bob White who had suddenly
jumped up in Peters very face. Bob
made little circle and came back
He alighted just in front of Peter.
Goodness, Peter Rabbit" exclaimed
Bob White. You gave me such a
start! I thought you were going to
jump right on mel"
"Well, if I scared you, you scared

1T is too beautiful" replied Bob
White.
Peter looked puzzled. II suppose
you know what you are talking about,
Bob White, but I don't" said Peter.
How can the weather be too beauti-
ful?"
Have you forgotten that this is the

Peter pricked up his ears. Il had

done them any harm"
Perhaps there won't be any hunt
ing season this year." suggested Peter.

piled Bob White.
Anyway" said Peter, Farmer

again. Peter opened his eyes little
wider and looked at Bob White.
