alterations consisted merely in
adjusting the cuffs of the trousers,
and while these were being fixed
by the bushelman, the customer
drew RoSenbaum into converse
tion.
After serious discussions con-
cerning the weather. local politics
and the general strike situation,
the man nonchalantly asked
RoSenbaum:
Know Schwartz the baker,
across the Street?"
"Sure I know him for years"
Rosenbaum answered.
Hes a good friend of mine,
too," the customer remarked.
You know that house on Fourth
Street he bought two years ago?
I was the one that told him, it
was going for nothing"
Nov what do you think of
that" exclaimed the tailor. He
scratched his head. II guessed
somebody must have given him
the goods on that deal.
1T should be you! We will all
have a little drink together one of
these days. and maybe do a little
business, Schwartz, you and me-"
The buShelman having brought
in the suit, RoSenbaum started to
place it in a cardboard box. AS he
folded the tissue Wrappings, the
stranger informed him that
Schwartz owed him a hundred dol
lars, and that he'd have the money
for him by five O'Clock.
SMART TRICK
"Is it all right" he asked, eff I
ask Schwartz to give you the cash
for the suit?"
IF it's okay with him it's okay
by me-" Rosenbaum shrugged.
The man took the tailor by the
arm and conducted him to the door
Of the store. Across the way could
be seen Mr.. and Mrs. Schwarz,
before the bakery, sleepily summing
themselves, while sitting on two
empty soda water boxes.
Say, what time are you going
to have that hundred for me?" the
stranger called at them.
Didn't I promise you S o'clock?"
Schwarz shouted with slight i'm
patience.
Turning to Rosenbaum, the Gus
toner said, That's the time he
said, all right"
"SchwarZ is a man of his word"
nodded the tailor.
Once more the man cupped his
hand over his mouth to yell over
the street, will you give fifty to
RoSenbaum for me?"
"Sure, I'll give him half" said
the slightly puzzled baker. why
not?"
The stranger clicked his heels.

Sports Nicknanes
Really a Subject
for Deep Scholar
g New York Post.-WNU Service.

EVERY now and then when one
~ of the more erudite writing
masters runs short of rhetorical
pearls he glances at the poor folks
on the other side of the newspaper
railroad tracks. Then he lifts his
hands in horror and, when he brings
them down on typewriter, another
little gem of column dealing with
sports nicknames is completed.
1t is a good racket with soft hours
and probably I will be labelled as
a green-eyed popinjay for bringing
up the subject. Yet, for the life of
me, cannot understand why these
high clerics of the literary world
dispose of this pet sports assign
ment with such superficial sneers.
For instance, a scholar might
spend some hours tracing to its
source the nickname of some Ia
nous baseball player. Where did
he get the m0nicker and why? Is
he still called by the name which
distinguished him from his fellows
in college or sandlot days? Or has
he had a progressive series of such
titles while developing from farm
team to farm team on the way to
the big time?
After the scholar gets that over
with he can be faced with other
troubles. More often than not the
great athlete may have three nick
names-one known only to the art
lists who do occasional favors to
the world by writing pieces about
sports, one by which he is usually
referred to when fans or practicing
sports writer's mention him, one sell
dom used except in the family cir
Gle of his teammates.
There was Christy Mathewson.
"Matty" or "Big Six" are the
names by which this great pitcher
is most Familiarity remembered by
those who paid to see him play.
That other Bucknell aIumnus,
Moose Mccormick, recalls though
that teammates seldom used such
a handle. They called him "Gum-
N.Y." The name was derived from
the fact that when he first entered
the majors Mathewson floundered
around in the field as if he were
wearing gum boots.
Similarly there was the name
which Mel OFT has outgrown only
within the past season or two. In
1927 the very youthful OFT, already
a regular outfelder, was warming
up near the first-base boxes. "My,
my" exclaimed lady fan. "Just
look at him. Isn't he the spirit of
springtime." From thenceforth, in
the privacy of Giants dugout and
bridge games, OFT was "Spring-
time"

to the character so well portrayed
by Miss Le0nore Uric. Probably
the fame of the play is what really
did make the name stick to Cuyler
throughout all the years. But ac-
tually the names have little in COM
mon in way of pronunciation. Guy
Ter got his title because when play
ing center his two outfield mates
used to yell "Cuy" "Cuy" when he
was to take the ball.
Sometimes an athlete may have
two or three private nicknames
even while sojourning with his
mates. This is particularly true of
the Yankees whose most affection

known as ''The Babe" ''The BAN, :"
and 'The Big Feller," was Gid

ate names fade in the big time.

friends would think of calling him
that. By the same token baptismal
names are not entirely barred in
sports.
Two of them pop into mind. Mrs.
Dean would as soon start another

IT HANKS to bright young bureau
u Gratis in Washington, we know
how many goldfish are Matched ev-
cry year and what the gross annual
yield of guinea pigs is, and the exact
proportion of albinos born in any
given period, but it never seemed
to occur to anybody to compile
reasonably accurate statistics on I'M
employment.
Yet, with depression behind us
and business up to boom-time levels,
it's estimated that between eight
and nine million people are out of
work, not counting those on strike,
and judging by the papers there
must be couple of million of them.
Apparently the more prosperous we
grow on the surface, the more de-
plorable becomes the status of
those off the payrolls. It doesn't
make sense. Or anyhow there was
a time when it wouldn't have made
sense.
This curious situation puts fell
low in mind of the old old story
of the chap whose wife had an
operation, and, every day when he
called at the hospital, he was told
the patient showed improvement.
One morning, as he came away,
weeping, he met friend.

latter.

Missionaries From China.

United States. We've been sending
out missionaries to their country
for centuries, but that Cinnamon
should dare to try the same thing on
us-well, that's white horse of

What if, not content with seeking
converts, these interlopers inculcat-
ed among us certain phases of their
heathenish philosophy, such as
teaching young people consideration
and respect for their elders; and
showing that rushing about in
frenzy does not necessarily indicate
business energy; and that the natur-
al aim of man is not always to
worship speed and-up to thirty
odd thousands year-to die by it;
and that intolerance as between re-
ligious creeds isn't invariably proof
of true piety; and that minding
ones own affairs is really quite
an admirable trait?
Why, native Americans wouldn't

heard of a new Southern family or
even just a middle-aged Southern

But afterwards, it's confusing to
read the theories of the expert re-
searchers who have passed judg-
ment on those vanished cliff-dwell-
ing peoples, because few such
learned gentlemen agree on any
single point. There is one very emil
