Things such as that happen in

There was that Polo Grounds aft

Carl Mays threw his battling under

while Mel OFT lay silently beside
the plate, lucky to be out only for
the rest of the season.
Back through the years there are
other memories of such moments.

Poor Little Rich Men.

7 EFT us take time off to pity the
poor little rich man who owns
large but lonesome sea-going yacht.
During the depression, the species
grew rare-there were money lords
then who hardly had one yacht to
rub against another-but, with bet
ter days, a fresh crop lines the
coasts.
No matter how rich, the owner
feels he must use his floating pal
ace. He may be content with a
saucer of processed bran and two
dyspepsia tablets, but no yacht crew
yet ever could keep soul and body
together on anything less than dou-
BILE sirloins. So he goes cruising
and gosh, how he does dread it!
For every yachtsman who really
gets joy out of being afloat, there
usually is another to whom the
great heart of the nation should 60

pect to find him putting ads in the
paper for guests who can stand the
