HE DOUBTS 1T
"The first heard Of the mar

country three weeks ago. In
England, there was no talk Of it
before I left.
"As for myself, I doubt these
stories. The King has gone
around with other women, too"

ton, Is one of the best along the
route Of the procession. Just out
side Of Westminster Abbey, where
the coronation will take place, the
grandStand is -strategically To-
Gated, he said, because the royal
party will alight from the car
riages right in front. Besides, the
spectators in the American grand
stand will see the coronation
party going and coming-when it
goes into the Abbey and when Ed.
ward comes out-the crowned

What Price Parade
Mr.. Jo1nson'S tickets sell for be-
tween $63 and $3.50. For the lat
ter figure, front-row seats are
available. In all, there are 1000
seats in the American grandstand.
Reservations should be made
early, Mr.. johnson said. Most
people, he continued, don't realize
the necessity for early reserva-
tions, thinking, as they do, in
terms of the coronation of the
late King George v, when trans

Maybe they ought to pick sailors
for the United States Navy from

Or, maybe Ben King, of GIG E

sailors because of a sound consti-

However, Mr.. King, who is now
retired from the yard, where he
put in 80 years Of service, showed
he could take it."
Only One Escaped
He was sent out on one of Un-
Gle Sans ships during the war as
part of his duties at the Navy
Yard to test some sights. During
his trip terrific storm came up,
and before it was over every man
aboard ship became seaSick-ex-
cept the only nonsailor, King.
Recalling the incident today, he
said:
"It was the first time 1 had
ever been to sea. When the
storm came up, decided the
best place for me was to stay
in bed and lie on my stomach.
And, afterwards 1 was glad 1
did, because 1 was the only one
at breakfast the next morn
ing"
Entered Yard in 1898
Mr.. King learned his trade as
a machinist in Alexandria, start

Two more singles and hit batter filled the bags again and Earl Forsythe cleared them with a triple Five more runs for the Moose

SPORT SLANTS

When the Pittsburgh Pirates gave up Larry French and Freddie Lind strom to the Chicago Cubs after the close of the 1884 season, they got Guy Bush and Babe Herman and, flor good measure" Big Jim Weaver was tossed in. Bush was the man the Pirates were really after.
 And so often happens in base ball deals, the big name in the transaction failed to live up to expectations while the athlete who was merely thrown in" proved very valuable.
 Last season, 1885, Bush scored only eight victories while bein g charged with nine defeats. Weav-. CTS record was decidedly better, for he was able to boast IA wins against eight losses. Still, the big star of the Pirates mound staff was Cy Blanton. The sensational freshman hurler turned in Is Wcl tories while being charged with 13 trimmings. Bill Swift was second to Blanton in 1885, having a record of Is and eight.
 When the Pirates gathered at training camp this spring Manager Pie Traynor planned to use Big Jim as a relief hurler. Blanton, Swift, Hoyt and Bush were slated to start. But it hardly worked out that way.
 Blanton failed to flash the form that made him the outstanding freshman pitcher in the National League last season. Swift was slow in rounding into shape and Waite Hoyt was lost when forced to sub init to a major operation Bush failed to regain the prowess he showed when with the Cubs. He was relegated to the relief corps and to coaching the young pitch CTS.
 Learns to Field Bunts
 Traynor was forced to gamble on Weaver and the big fellow came through. Where would the Pirates be without his string of victories? It was Weaver who kept the team in the thick of the fight until Blanton and Swift rounded into form.
 Weaver's sudden winning streak was mystery until the big hurler himself disclosed that his new found success on the mound was in no small measure due to the fact that he had finally mastered the art of fielding bunts. His huge 6-foot-6-inch, 235-pound frame was no asset when it came to protect ing his territory against bunt attack
 Bush, one of the best fielding pitchers in history, deserves much of the credit for teaching Weaver how to field his position. 1 Weaver Wanders Weaver has been knocking around for some time and is nearly 30 years old The New York Yankees picked him up from Baltimore, where his offerings had puzzled
