Veteran Howl
Enthused by
Chances
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, May 6.-The Pi
rates admit they have neither
Dizzy Dean nor a Carl Hubbel
among them. but to man they in
SiSt today their pitching is goot
enough to win the pennant thii
year. And, unlike many a Pirate
team of recent years. they feel con
fident they will win it.
The ever.youthful Waite Hoyt
dean of the Pirate pitchers, the
most articulate of all ball play
ers, and admittedly the greatest
student of pitching in the country
had a few new slants to offer the
fans of the country today. Sale
Waite:
'MOst fans fail to realize that
half a pitchers strength lies in
the second base pair behind him.
In a way, you might say no
pitcher is stronger than his in
field support.
PITCHING ALL RIGHT
1.-THE fans around the circuit
have had an idea for years that
the Pirate pitching was weak.
They we're mistaken. The pitch
ing was fair enough but our sec.
Ond base spot wasn't.
ITO show you how it works:
Larry French was never better
than a $3.50 pitcher with US
but he went to the Cubs and be.
came a big winner. Why? Sim.
ply because he had a great pair
behind him at second base. And
you'll see that Dutch Brandt,
who couldn't win with the DOdg-
ers, will be a big winner for us,
because we now have a great
pair around second. Put a bum
pair behind Hubbell and you'd
see an awful slump in his pNch-
ing effectiveness.
"You see, if a second baSeman
or a shOrtStop fails to come
through with that double play
ball, it may mean four or five
runs. The runs in themselves
aren't so harmful as the fact
that a pitcher has to stay out
there throwing maybe 10 or Is
minutes longer than he should.
If he doesn't feel that in the
early innings, he surely will late
in the game.
REST MEANS LOT
Few fans realize how much
that rest on the bench between
innings means to pitcher
"That kid Lee Handley at
second for us may mean the diff.
ference between fourth place
and first to US! He saves us
many a big inning. And he's
already saved us three games
that we would have lost with
an ordinary second baSeman.
Between them, Arky Vaughn
and Handley will save US pitch
ers plenty of wear and tear and
take us out of many a tough
spot.
you're going to see what you
may think is big improvement
in Pirate pitchers this year
when actually what you will see
is better pair at second base
making the pitching look bet
ter"

Congressional Boldness.

" AIMING to pet lovers: If you
W own guinea pigs or tame rab-
bits or trained seals or such-like gen.
tie creatures, try to keep the word
from them that some of the majority
members of the lower branch of con-
gress actually threatened to defy
their masters voice.
The senate always has been
known as the worlds greatest DELHI
erative body-and, week by week
and month by month don't those
elder statesmen know how to delib-
crate! But these last few years the
house has earned the reputation of
being the most docile legislative
outfit since Aesop's King Stork ruled
over, the synod of the frogs.
So should the news ever spread
among the lesser creatures, hither-
to so placid and biddable, that an
example had been set at Washington,
there's no telling when the Bel
gian hares will start mpaging and
the singing mice will begin acting
up rough and the grubworms will
gang against the big old woodpeck-
er.

Origin of the Old Saying
"Coing to Putney on Pig

The saying "Going to Putney on
Pig" had it's beginning in the
playful chaff on the road to the
University Boat race. In the early
days of the race, says a writer in
Pearson's London Weekly, it was
usual to use all kinds of vehicles to
get to Putney, including the small
cart drawn by two dogs, the coster-
monger's barrow and donkey, and
every other type of conveyance. The
singularity of some of the turn-outs,
no doubt, suggested the comical idea
of going to the race on a pig.

Worlds Foremost Authority
on Etiquette
q Emily Post
ssoooeooeOooeoo

IN EAR Mrs. Post: My sister
- would like to know what fea-
lures make the women attendants
dresses different at an evening we'd
ding, since you have said that it
is not proper for women to wear
cut-0ut low necks and sleeveless
evening dresses to church.
Answer: The only requirement for
evening dresses worn by the we'd
ding party in church is that they
have at least very small sleeves
and that backs be cut moderately,
or else have matching jackets
which can be worn in church. The
evening effect is also helped by the
richness of the materials. This last
is not infallible since materials of
all varieties are worn at daytime
and evening weddings.

penetrated jungles where the foot OF

But the last straw was when a
Scotch professional, after morbidly
watching my form, told me that
at any rate there was one thing
about me which was correct-I did
have on golf stockings!

Improves With Age

The cork tree is peculiar-it gives
better results with age. Until a
tree is 20 years old, it is unmolest-
ed. Then the bark is torn off once
in every eight or ten years. And
each succeeding crop is better than
the former one.

Professional Orators.


w E HAVE in Southern Califor-
W MIA professional orator who
long ago discovered that the most
dulcet music on earth was the sound
of his own voice. He'll speak any
where at the drop of the hat and
provide the hat.
What's worse, this coast-defender
of ours labors under the delusion
that, if he shouts at the top of his
voice, his eloquence will be all the
more forceful. The only way to
avoid meeting him at dinner is to
eat at an owl wagon. But the other
night, at an important banquet, he
strangely was missing from the ar
ray Of speakers at the head table.
One guest turned in amazement to
his neighbor:
where's Blank?" he inquired,
naming the absentee.
'Didn't you hear?" answered the
other. 'He busted a couple of ear
drums"
"Whose?" said the first fellow.
Foes of Nazidom.
IT HE veteran Rabbi Stephen Wise
1 of New York has been reason
ably outspoken in his views on Nazi
treatment of his own co-religionists
and the practitioners of other faiths
as well. And one of the most VEN
cradle prelates of the Catholic
church in Europe, while discussing
the same subject, hasn't exactly
pulled his punches, either.
So what? A friend just back from
abroad tells me that in Berlin he
heard a high government officer
fiercely denounce these two distin-
guished men. About the mildest
thing the speaker said about them
was that both were senile. Some
how or other, the speech wasn't
printed in the German papers
maybe by orders from on high.
Well, far be it from this inno-
cent bystander to get into religious
arguments and besides I have no
first-hand knowledge as to the Chris
tian clergyman's state of health, al
though, judging by his utterances,
there's nothing particularly wrong
with his mind. But I do know Rab-
bi Wise, and, if he's in his dotage,
so is Shirley Temple. And I risk
the assertion that he would be per-
fectly willing to have one foot in the
grave if he could have the other
on Herr Hitler's neck.

Do the Natural Thing;
You'll Likely Be Right

NEAR Mrs. Post: The other after
- noon two gentlemen called on
me in regard to a business transac-
ton. After greeting them ] sat
down, assuming that they would do
likewise. But instead they continued
to talk, remaining standing. Feeling
somewhat embarrassed, I got up
again and we finished our conversa-
ton all standing until they left fif-
teen minutes later. Should 1 have
asked them to be seated? I sup
posed when a lady sat down a gen.
tleman seated himself without any
further gesture on her part.
Answer: I think in this case it
would have been natural to ask
them to sit down. 1t is true that
ordinarily people sit down unless
they are staying for only moment
of time.

The Double Celebration.
n EAR Mrs. Post: have two sis
- tiers, both married on the same
day almost rs years ago. One sis
ter's husband is still living and the
other ones husband died several
years ago. We would like to do
something in honor of the double
anniversary, but do you think it
will be cruel to the widowed sister?
Answer: Certainly it would be i'm
possible to think of the anniversary
as a double celebration. But, on
the other hand, see no reason why
you should deprive the happy sis
ter of her share. However, the
least you say about the anniversary
o. the widowed sister the less diff
cult you are likely to make the day
for her. And if she is not to be
present at the party, it would be
nice if you sent her few flowers
with your love but with no reference
to the day.

cover the balance of the time. She
in turn sent this check to me and
think she should have kept it. How
ever, she insists that the money is
mine.

since you gave her subscription,
and not money. Perhaps, if you
feel like it, you might put this re-
turned amount into another maya

Use Old Cut Glass.

n EAR Mrs. Post: Will you ex-
~ plain the present-day status of
deeply cut glass? I don't believe
people are buying it today, and
perhaps it is no longer being sold,
but 1 am an older housekeeper who
has some really beautiful pineapple
cut pieces, and / wonder whether
shall be stamped old-fashi0ned if
bring them out of the back corners
of the cupboards and use them?
Answer: Although certain designs
in glass cutting are seen less often
than they used to be, this does not
mean that they are any less valued
by those who possess them. They
would go in every type of house ex-
cept one that is strictly modernistic.
Use yours by all means, especially
if they look well with your china
and silver.

College Dancing Age.

0OSeOSO D"SSISS ago.
n EAR Mrs. Post: Do you con-
- slider it incorrect for a girl of
fifteen to go to a college dance?
I have a very good friend who is
four years older and he has asked
me to come to dance at his col
lege. His mother would 60 with me
and we would stay together at
school. Mother is debating about
letting me go because she is afraid
1 will be the youngest girl at the
dance and perhaps she will be crit
icized for having let me go.
Answer: The only possible objec-
ton to your going is the not too
certain one that people seeing you
at this dance will perhaps after
wards imagine that you are two or
three years older than you really
are. I see no improperly in your
going since college dance is after
all not very far removed from a
school dance, and the girls who
go to it are not necessarily grown.

infiated) by the issuing of silver
certificates. That is true. But we
must be realistic and recognize that
a silver certificate occupies exactly
the same place in our currency
structure as does a bill that is
backed by gold or one that is is
sued by the Federal Reserve banks.
Therefore, it seems to me to be a
fair statement to say that the whole
currency structure is tainted by this
deluge of silver certificates now and
heretofore coming from the Treas
ury. And it is equally a fact
that prices of every kind are going
to increase exactly in accordance
or in ratio with the new money that
is put out from the Treasury.
