from the time he wound up and
threw his first curve ball. In the first
five innings he was nicked for only
one hit. a modest single by Rabbit
Warstler. Thereafter he was a little
more generous. but by that time it
didn't matter.
In the meantime the Washingtons
were making life pretty miserable for
young Vernon Wilshere, the blond
southpaw who used to beat Bucky
Harris club regularly last year. Our
side made a run in the second
inning on terrific home run inside
of the park by Carl Reynolds and
added another score in the third
inning on a walk to Jesse Hill, lost
fly-in the sun double by Buddy Lewis,

Buddy Lewis walked, filling the bases,

on wild pitch to Buddy Myer, who
eventually walked to fill the bases

Odd Record for Myer.
MAYBE it won't find its way into
base balls record book, but Capt
Buddy Myer may have set mark Of
some sort yesterday as the Nations Is
broke their four-game losing streak by
whipping the AS. 10 to 8. Buddy went
to bat five times during the tilt, wound
up with a perfect batting average of
1000, and swung at only one pitch
during the entire day!
The Washington field captain
walked on his first three trips to the
plate. Whitley Wilshere gave him the
first two passes and Bill Dietrich, sue
cessor to Wilshere, handed Buddy the
third walk. Then, in the sixth, Myer
finally stopped to swinging at a pitch.
1t went for a clean single to left
field, scoring Jesse Hill, who had dou-
bled to open the frame. On his last
trip to the dish Myer again walked
without bothering to take his bat off
his shoulder.

at least one base on balls.

Or he could swap story Tor story

This is Bell's first session OF Con-

Milk and other dairy products are
figured to be more abundant than
they were in 1895. The future price
of butter, however, is difficult to
estimate.
Although practically all meats ex-
cept veal and roasting chickens
have been declining in price, the
supply of lower grades of beef is
lower than it was a year ago and
the prices for the poorer cuts may
be as high as in 1885 or even higher.
Poultry Supply GroUs
The poultry supply on farms is
low but increasing. Egg production
will be larger than last year.
The effects of the new farm pro-
gram on food supplies cannot be
determined for some time, agr GU
tural experts say. They do not ex-
pect it, however. to materially alter
the current prospect of gen orally
increased supplies.
The average cost of all foods,
which mounted steadily for almost
three years and reached an index
high for the rise of 825 on Dec
ember 81 last, has been dropping
