bored firm convictions today of being
a base ball machine capable of hitting

that Uncle Clark Grifhths diamond

contraption.
For one thing, Jake Powell seems
about ready to prove that a slow
start Is an annual ritual with him.
Almost to the day, jake is doing the
same thing he did year ago-snap-
ping out of it with a bang. And for
another and equally important argu-
