Bob Feller Is Shy;
Publicity Has Not
Swelled His Head
g New York Post.-wNU Service.

THEY said the kid was upstairs
l. in his room but that it would be
a good idea to hurry for it was
about time for he and Weatherly
to start out for the night. They
seemed to say that the young man
was a bit of a heller-and at ten
der age of eighteen-but it seems he
is nothing of the sort.
"Yeah, we're startin' out-Stormy
and me-" said Bob Feller. But
come in. Yeah, we were goin' to
the movies. Go every night-we're
bugs about the movies. Mel like
Westerns, specially Hopalong Cas-
sidy. Stormy does, too"
The two young Indians sat down.
WeatherIy is small and pudgy and
twenty-five, but looks even younger
than FelIer. They have been room
mates ever since FelIer Joined the
club. Feller'S father stipulated that
his boy must be rOomed with a
young man of good character be-
fore he'd sign any papers. Every
one agreed that Weatherly was the
answer.
1--WE get along great" said
Stormy. Like the same things, like
to go to bed early. We're gonna
have a small apartment in Cleve-
land this summer"
FeIler was sitting silently. He is
a shy youngster, terribly afraid that
people will think all this publicity
has gone to his head. Everything
he does is studied, on or of the
field.
His dad visited him at New Or
leans and some one asked if Pop
would spend much time in Cleve-
land this summer.
"No, Dad doesn't like big cities,
he said. "If I have a good year,
though, he'll probably do a lot of
visiting. But if I have bad one
I'll probably do a lot of visiting
myself-to Van Meter.
He pitches three-quarter fashion

'How many do I think I'll win?
I just wouldn't say, couldn't say.
I'll be satisfied if my average is as
good as it was last year."
Last year in his short time with
the club he won five games, lost
three. If he averages victory a
week he'll come up with twenty
three decisions.
Business Manager Slapnick's re-
cent statement that Feller would
pitch once a week doesn't meet with
his heartiest approval.
"Why, back home used to pitch
three times a week." he says, "and
it never bothered me-"

Never Tries Bean Ball
but Batters Beware!

Some one suggested that perhaps
the American league was little
different than the sandlots of Iowa.
"Well, not to me, it's not" he re-
piled. Cali do is rear back and
let it go, whether it's in a sand
lot game or up here"
Some one else wondered if, when
he improved his control, the bat
ters wouldn't gain more confidence.
'I just won't improve that much, +"
he said. 81 never tried to hit a
batter in my life, but, after all,
getting out of the way of a ball is
their business, not mine."
"What about Hubbell, what do
you think of him?"
"I guess he's the greatest pitcher
I've ever seen," he said. "He
must be the best. I know never
saw a ball do the things he can
make it do"
Then some one asked him if he
had a girl back home and the meet
ing sort of broke up.
"Well sort Of" he said. "But
we'n discuss that later"
How it was that the Dodgers did
not take Gabby Hartnett when he
was offered to them by the Cubs?
Gabby, one of the smartest and
most popular players of recent
years, still should have season or
two of top catching and hitting
left in him. Are experts and
scouts taking proper note of the
football line N. Y. U. will have
next fall? If Coach Nal Stevens
can persuade Bucky O'Connen to
become trif1e more interested in
the center assignment, the Violets
may have New York's best forward
wall.
Iris Speaker once saw Sam Craw-
ford, the old Detroit slugger, hit
a ball 429 feet ON the fly off Christy
MathewsOn. 1t was in an exhibition
at Tulsa, Okla, on a field that was
not fenced in. The ball landed in a
mud pile and remained where it
hit. :. /. The three Panama hats Own

nNE of the attractions Of the
~ hobby of amateur photography
IS that it provides an almost un-
limited number Of hobbies within
the hobby; as many, in fact, as there
are kinds of things that the eye can
see. Ships, flowers. trees. clouds,
locomotives, colonial architecture,
historical monuments, gargoyles,
machinery. babies, horses. dogs.
cats, birds, insects are only a few
subjects which have their devotees
as special picture hobbies. Enthusi-
asm for photography combines with
tho collectors instinct, resulting in
albums OF photographs of the chosen
subject that are a source OF pride,
pleasure and instruction.
In addition to the enjoyment of
making the photographs, the value
of special picture hobby is that
it usually leads to an accumulation
Of knowledge about the subject that
is educational and broadening. If
the photographer starts making pic
lures of flowers, he soon discovers
that there are many things about
flowers that he never knew before.
He is likely to become quite bot
anist. So with ships. He is likely
soon to be studying up on marine
architecture and enjoying it.
Above is an amateur photograph
from the album Of an insect special
list. This is a hobby which affords
him the extra enjoyment Of walks
into the woods and fields In his
hunts for specimens. He photo
graphs them on the spot and cap
lures them to take home for indoor
shots. He has become an amateur
entomologist. Now he really knows
about bees knees" butterflies

Of course Franklin didn't say
n.lthin' about our goin' to war. In
fact he said he hated war, but
then he TURNS right around and
starts sayin' a let OF nasty things
about Japan and suggests that we
call meetin' of the Ladies Sew

or not to stick up our nose next

graphing insects in the open fields,
garden or woods, is really a sport.
Some kinds you can stalk success
fully but he tells you that, more
often than you would suppose, you
have success by lying in wait for
an insect to come within lens range
and pose itself on flower, leaf or
twig on which you have focused. If
you locate yourself in a place where
there are plenty Of them, it won't
be long before one Of the multitude
hops or flies into position in front
of your waiting lens. OF course, If
you do not have close-focusing bel
lows camera, you should use a por-
trait attachment in order to get a
large image, and in either case you
will usually need to have an enlarge
ment made from the important part
of the negative.
The exposure should usually be
twice that given regular outdoor
scenes with the same light condi-
tons. Being close to the subject
there is less light reflected, and, as
detail is essential, it is better to
double the exposure time. and also
to use small stop. Your camera
should be stationary ON support.
You must expect some failures be-
cause Of the refusal of an insect al
ways to stay in position long enough
for the required exposure, but that
adds to the value Of the successful
pictures.

Now I'm no diplomat and I've

but I've had enough experience
with human relations to have
learned that one of the easiest
ways to get messed up in a sure
enough scrap is to start buttin'
into other folks affairs and go
calm people names.
Now the other day you and me

To-day most of our so-called Allies
hate us because they owe US

mothers, ana provided senators,
1congressmen and lower orders of

Now it seems to me that be-
fore we start out on another cam
paign to save the world and "do
somethin' about the situation in
China or Spain or some other
distant portion of the globe, it
might be a good idea to sit down
and "count our chance" and see
